Today was a new day for me...in the past ida chased and been burnt....

If you have learned patience, you have matured in your trading. I only had 5 trades today on EU since Franky. Waiting for the right setup always pays. If you can beat my entries by 9 pips, you know you are doing something right........

The word stimulus will show up on the teleprompter, so he'll say it. Sometimes I sit here wondering if these people lost their collective minds. Or maybe it's me, sitting here hours and hours at a time catching imaginary flies.... Hard to tell...

Controlling emotions is the hardest thing to learn. I don't get excited over any trade, I just look for my signals, take my trade and look for the next one.

Controlling emotions comes with experience, the more trades you get in, the more confidence you get in your strategy/style, the longer you spend behind the screens, the better it gets. At one point in your trading life you notice that you don't feel anything anymore, that's when you have arrived.

You're fine there, she will test that 5990 again. She liked it below there.

Told you she would test 5990.... Did you hold on to it?

emotion, excitement, elation, fear, greed is all the enemy...

it clouds your perception of what price is actually saying...

was thinking about that as i typed, yes some controlled greed is a good thing, allowing winning trades to develop etc.. certainly one area of my trading that needs improvement, as i tend to take profit too early..

sheesh when i think about it, i bought last years exact low in g/u and cashed in for about 50 pips..

Hi Buddies,

I am new in this. I am loosing (floating around -1900) at the moment as did the below; buy open at 1.4376, 1.4343, 1.4267, 1.4281).

Any one help me to get rid of this situation. Really disturbing.

Thanks in advance.

I know you are into this stuff..... Fear is the worst. Fear you will lose, fear it's not going to make it to you TP, fear you're missing out. I dropped everything else and I only deal with the fear of not making it to my TP. I don't care about anything else...

well must confess I have a lot of enemies, not know what "elation" means but the others are quiet familiar.....
Don't be a hero. Don't have an ego. Always question yourself
