Don't have an ego. Always question yourself and your ability.

You made a comment a few weeks ago that clicked with me... reminded me that the hard work, effort, and perseverance eventually produces solid results.
You said something to the effect that you locked yourself in a room for a year, working 20 hours a day until you climbed the mountain... you sacrificed in the beginning, living meagerly, investing in the payoff later.

I was reading an article about Christopher Columbus the other day... that he was rejected 9 times over an 8 yr period before the Queen of Spain finally supported the voyage...good...

Everyone I know in this business that is succesful has spent months and years struggling initially, for some it took as long as 5 years. Those that wanted it badly enough made it in the end. Time is of no importance. I have done many things in my life that took a long time to master, not just trading, they were all worth it. If you learn to do something overnight, you'll get bored with it in a week.

Think back over you life and remember the things that took you longest to get good at, they are the things you value the most.

Cloggie that's very similar to what I do.

I use FF for fundy time to see whats goin on
Then I do a top down with daily and 4 hour I use 1hr to scope entries and 15 to enter. I use 5 to see breakouts before the happen

ALWAYS with the trend using S&R on major timeframes Fibos and Pivots
MACD Divergence
Trendlines
ADR
Look at the Dollar Index.

Only getting in at major support and resistance levels
10-20pip stops,
trail stops on swingpoints off the 15
Shoot for max gains and minimize risk early.

That post does not show you to be an idiot at all, I welcome well versed, researched and articulate participation in the debate...
Cheers... I know you seem to be equally respected and loathed around here but when it comes down to it experience and runs on the board are what counts in the end.

So whilst i always strive to form my own opinion I appreciate hearing what those with a clue have to say... Given you were saying short when I was thinking long had me really stop and think about it again so I could have been stopped out already had I gone in - so I appreciate your contribution!

As for going on the attack well anything that livens things up around here is welcome as far as Im concerned!

If we do keep short it will be interesting to see if it breaks the previous channel lower than 4783ish. I have a short target from the last retracement of the downmove around 4788, so that would be the area to watch if we move towards it.

Keep selling the rallies till 4770 tonight.

What I am really saying is identify the trend on the higher TF's and trade the dips/rallies on the lower ones. IF you just do that, you will make money, guaranteed.
I was just scanning back thru the posts. Nice call there cloggie. You couldnt have been more direct if you went to everyones house and hit the sell button for us..lol

Finally got home (for a change) and wanted to get in on the Asian action. The last time I traded Asia last week scored me some big pips.

My target is 772/1 area at the bottom of the "head/shoulder" shape. Two lots shorted @ 832 and 825. Done after a bounce of the 267EMA on 1M.

Stops now moved to BE + a bit of change for lunch.

Happy pipping.

A pip is only worth it if you know how much you risked to earn it

Nothing to be ashamed of, I have been very open what it took me to make it in this business, and everyone that is succesful will tell you a very similar story. There are very few that get lucky and make it inside a few months, but for 99% of us that have survived 5 or 10 years it has taken ages to get halfway decent.

Ive been learning for coming up to 3 years now and Im only just getting to the point where Im comfortable funding an account in a month or two, once I fully establish the expectancy of my method, MM, trade management and stop taking fecking trades that i shouldnt!

I agree.
But I'm not gonna sugar coat it, you're being too kind.
Nobody makes it inside a few months imo.

How's it going brother
