just cancelled it.

spiked up, that points down. pretty simplistic yet functional. 5m looks flagish. my 5m on the forks already gave me a short signal but the sl is way too high. same thing it did yesterday in fact. now i can wait for it to go higher and i might miss the train or i can enter short here and get a spook if it does go up some or even end up with a turd if the system fails (nope, not the holy grail...)

,
9142/50 pretty solid - but it looks like forming right shoulder on H4 - I just can't see it going down that much - foolish hunch may be ...

Ny open. See how they resolve the situation. I dont know what they are going to do, but i dont see big down bar unless they interpret it as less qe , since the data is better on the headlines. However, being away from my pc, i only have limited info. In any case , flat is good rnough gor me

and i am getting fed up with myself having a good system and always second guessing it. the signal came. i am short. truth is 1h and 4h still point up on my system but speacially the 4h has a risky short setup (top picking). 1h only turns bearish at 1.338.

in the end i'll stick with the 5m and my basic rules. red week and i feel really bad ending the day and looking back and seeing that just by following it i would have made me some.

green pip, D

I feel your pain .. Psychologically it is easier to get stopped out than to watch it go without you. And then you look back and think wtf did i do. I was like that until i stopped caring about money in the account. I am not dependant on it. The minute you need it, yyou want it to grow constantly. It ends up costing you. And when you get out of sync, like i did last week, it feels like you are getting hit in the balls nonstop.


Trust me.. Some of thr stupid shit that i have done, even this year..

i had it update to the last try up but we didn't make a new high yesterday so it's not a swing (this kind of details seem to make a whole of a difference...).

what a great entry it would have been.

and still i manage to loose money regularly... fuck i am dumb...

do you guys have some discipline pills?

Good plan is the key. But more importantly no pressure. Pressure is the key in my opinion. But its self fullfiling. When you lose , the pressure is on. Vice versa

it hasn't got to do with the value of money. i am playing gum money here... it don't know how i will react when i will depend on this money making (which could be close). but, away from it still, i think i will behave better, not worst.

sometimes i think my subconscious looks at this as a game. and fuck i am a bad looser... i can't accept the loss. seems like i'd rather get margin called and start over then accept the loss... i remember doing that when i was a kid playing spectrum games.

tell me, how much will i get charged for this therapy time LOLOL

Watch a movie about trading always gets me excited.. Rogue trader is a classic about nick leeson. Then margin call came out recently. There is also floored about ptl and his life at the cme

Lol. No therapy just discussion. You know losers are always first to give advice on trading.. They all know the rules, but knowing them does not mean you follow them.

Oh and a pint of stella or a cocktail should cover the fess but the second round is on me
