also i believe that on my live account the curve has been very swingy and not very consistent. just up and down and i think i need to understand to remove emotional attachment to money and ability to execute like a professional trader. i have made myself a demo accoutn - an explorer too , which would be a testing period for me over the course of 4-5 months. We will review from there if i continue to trade live.

take this like a practice towards success. not a failure mechanism. failure would be to continue trade live and not know wtf went wrong. and not reanalyze the situation and my problem.

Ill say it again and again... i have good skill i have to be honest but a BAD trading psychology. Demo u just make a new one bla bla and its not real - yes i am fully aware of that. I will use reall MM and R/R strategies that i would normally use and just basically do it on paper trading though.

i have good MM and good R/r and good skill - but guess what - the mind can screw that all up. I think with at least 4 months of practice ill be able to make this practice into good habit and a habit i plan on carrying on while trading live.

skill is easy - everything i did over 6+ motnhs learning all this i have to say is not that easy but its not that hard either.
Mindset has been quite the major cloud hanging over my head

Just saw this post, I think I have something that may help a bit.

Check out this blog, It is a old blog by Brett Steenbarger..he is a trading coach at a prop firm here in Chicago. He stopped posting a while back, but he has excellent info if you look there.

One thing i do every night and before the trading day is use visualization. I visualize myself executing in the manner that I desire, following my plan etc. I've had a problem with impulsive trading in the past and this has all but eliminated it! Gluck

Hi Buma, running through my subscribed list and thought I'd check on you. Telling yourself you have skills will only hurt you the more. Successful speculation does not require skill(s), it only requires "common sense". Going to a demo will not make u any better. Try the following options:

1. Convert the screentime you spend on FF to screentime with the charts.
2. Stop being jack of all strategies. Remember it's not the samurai with the most swords in his arsenal that wins the battle, but the one that wields it best. Pick a strategy and become a specialist in it.
3. Following various instruments will lead you no where. Those who do that are either sitting behind 8monitor arrays at G-sachs or have powerful algos helping them out on their Merill Lynch desk. Know your instrument, eat it, drink it and speak it.
4. Get good fundamental background on the instrument you pick. After conquering an instrument for 2 or more years, you can add another to the portfolio. But seriously, if you conquer a currency instrument, you can always make a killing on it, hence, no need for other addition.
5. Read your journal every weekend...it's the best trading textbook you can ever have.

I'm chanced to write all this because I'm waiting for the LTRO...all the best to you kid.

Kindest regards,
Motion

thanks motion for your post. i guess i can always go live again but ill use less money or just a fraction of the account i have left. very logical and ill definitely cut FF time.

ok mate. thanks again so much been here from time to time appreciate it..
btw are you able to call yourself a consistently profitable trader? i am not able to do so yet.
ill humble myself down and just do the charts. will post trade results - ill delete the explorers.

Hi Buena,

You already have put in great effort and time in learning the basis, basics and many many different aspects of Forex Trading and have built a solid foundation for growth upwards.

You can now build up on this firm foundation. So, now you might need to re-focus and fine-tune your plan for future and go about building the super-structure to your liking. You sure have a bright future ahead of you. Just keep up your passion and maintain your humility. Good luck.
