what is the fun of trading for 5 pips. are u a gambler?
It's what you call trading...I suck @gambling and last time I went to Vegas I stayed for a week and gambled twice...There are fundamentals to this market...Nobody needs to be in trades for 45min+ waiting on the market to move up 70 pips...The market would of moved up and down 5 times with 200 pips in play within that time some of you folks are sitting here waiting for ridiculous outbreaks...I see the WHOLE market but only make maybe 3 trades a day...Again...the only thing that matters is Supply & Demand..

Not to point you out...but this is a prime example of what I am talking about...He took shorts 14 hours ago just to come back and see the market is damn near in the same place he left it....Now go down to a smaller time frame and look@ the swings and ALL the pips that were at play while market was ranging...Market ranges MOST of the time so it just made sense to create a system that is in flow with it...When breakouts occur...I'm out the market and sometimes ill take a few trades but not normally...

The bulls are now extinct. The future will consist only of selling ... followed by consolidation ... followed by more selling.
Agreed . I dont think we are in bullish mode , I think we will be going down after the range ends !!!!!!!!!!

DAX closed the GAP...1/1

Now we should break down to 5.692 and stay there for about 3 hours....and later on in NY fall for another 200 points down to make friday simplier.
This is still in play as I look it now...Ill sell another portion of little piggie bastards!

Plan isn't point...if your plan is not in sync with what the market does MOST of the time then your wasting your life sitting @ a computer desk...14 hours he waited just to go out negative and get hit with a swap fee...

completely disagree with that.

Firstly every trade should have a plan - entry point SL TP AND a decision tree that would make you abort the trade early if that is an option you want in your plan. If you cut early for no reason you often miss the winners and make them losers.

Second, trading is not about individual trades, it is about the average of your trades being sufficiently positive to justify trading for hobby or living. You can only assess your success at this if you follow a plan.

you can't assess and repeat gut shot decisions because you won't know what made you do it to be able to repeat..

I think your not getting what I'm saying....He had a game plan but it failed...now he must figure out why...Nobody should be sitting in a trade watching their money fluctuate for a breakout that was never going to happen...I notice that there are a lot of analyst in here and barely any real traders...If my thinking is in sync with the majority of the people in this thread then we have a problem charlie...just my 2 cents...Oh and that is your opinion on trading not mines or any of the millionaires I know that are doing this.

When you get stopped out you actually study the trade to see what went wrong?

Dunno he sounds pretty serious to me. I totally agree with him. 'When u get stopped out its the markets fault'. Always. Write that down. Every good plan should begin with this statement.
