FINE! You're such a show off snagging twice the pips I got. Watch thyself as his majesty lurks and takes no pity on those that make mockery of his shortcomings.

I hate to say this but I stuck in with the EJ and got a winner.

I also took the EU, even with the momentum bars, didn't know any better, and had a winner.

Maybe not perfect but I am not complaining.

Neerner....Neener...

Is that the sound of traveling back in time? I thought it required 88 Miles Per Hour and a Flux Capacitor. After all those pips you should buy a Delorean.

Well, as I learned from Div a while back, after making some pips he went out with his daughter for some fun. Time for me to go play catch with the boys.

If anyone has any insight on why I should not have stuck with those two trades, let me know. I don't want to just be lucky.

Joel, I see you found your car. I believe that is me in the "life preserver." Trying to stay afloat in this system. You make one mad scientist. 1.21 gigawatts will do it for me.

Good evening.

took the EJ 0135 gmt setup. got a winner too but am angry on myself in hindsight.. the pullback was maybe not that deep, haven't had s/r drawn seeing only recent chart (that was my first EJ trade).. don't want to acquire bad habits from lucky winners although still on demo with this

hello 1-800-wahh...i just went long on au at 1.0570 but got nervous about the dojis and slight retracement near resistance so i closed it for a loss of 4.5 pips, went afk and when i returned it had shot up through resistance and hit 87

I'm good Diamond D, a few things just finally clicked for me this evening, kind of that ah-ha moment where it just makes sense. Aside from that panic with the AU all of the trades i have put on tonight have been wins. Small wins but still 34 pip gain in my last 4 trades and only 1 loss of 4.5 pips.

Since I seem to have gotten past whatever was causing me to screw up I'm relaxed, i just follow the rules..say it with me now.."find the trend....wait for the"

I do that and just wait to close for my tp and move to the next one.
