Quoting Jupiter
After "the Campaign of August" and its suffering, I'm trying to redefine my behaviour.
Call it "permanent defensive mode", if you want.
Market is changed. Craziness is galloping. Anything is possible more than ever...
My aim now is not "to earn more money to have a bigger account" (lol...)
(I removed the power of skewing from my studies at the moment).

I simply try to dance well... as best as I can... and that's all.
I want nice smooth trades with good mindset, in absolute relax...
Always ready to change... to be in tune with the dance and...
seems to me, you're doing well now Franco... but why you sound hesitant to some of your positions? remember the sayig ' if you can't take the heat then stay away from the kitchen...'

probably you're heavily exposed... if you're experimenting skews... start from an acceptable exposure where you can be comfortable dancing with... and when confidence starts to kick in... then and only then you can add more to your skews...

i suggest you do... 1,1,1 or if not... simply 1,1

and once you're okay with it and your dance... you increase a bit...

say 1,1,2 of 1,2 until you get the hang of it...

remember over exposure is a killer...

again try to limit your rigidity you still trying to see your crystal ball...

go with the flow... feel her... and dance with her...

regards,

I made a mistake in the addiction: in the previous trade total P/L was +199,16 pips.

Man, I accept to be challenged to a duel only by the market.
This is dongsky's home. More politeness and less "electrity", please.

Apologies Eddy... I promised less show-off.
Ma quando è necessario, è necessario.
(When we need... we must!!!)

Back to my cave... I'm very sad and sorry.

you don't need to apologies, do whatever you think is good for others to see and perhaps learn...

p.s. why not share your charts and trades too... i guess i will be learning from it...

Here we go, 1st trade of the day, it took me some time, but I was entertain by some bullying. Kindergarten stuff.

Gained my risk, covered half, moved my SL to BE.

In the last two month I do not know a return less than 5 % a week of my capital, last week was 33%.
I am not sure if is my scorpion talking but my kookaburra has got something to do with it.
