Fak'em...who cares! You know more than most that its just the price of doing business.

Nobody is going to win them all. Those that get upset by not achieving that are the ones that struggle emotionally. The market is a fakker. Being outsmarted by it isn't a failure. Just don't make a habit of it!
Yep yep. Just a numbers game. Got me r/r set proper, and I don't even need to be right 50% of the time. Although, having that win ratio up is just bread on the butter... and possibly some pasta to go with! haha

Not sure if I trust this current supply. But, to me, it looks like supply is pretty heavily stacked on top of it self all the way up on teh 5m to some pretty drastic heights. not going to be an easy upmove.

Oh yeah... best decision kenny boy made creating this thread... I wasn't lasting much longer in there myself.

Although, i'm not sure many appreciated my occasional drunken rants as well.
Think there were a LOT of "final straws" about at the time this one started.

Glad we made it and stuck together. There's some good heads here. Genuinely consider most people here as friends. Friends I haven't met...but friends nonetheless.

No homo.

It gets even better.. One of my first live trades, I think it was the second day or so.. I wanted to put in 0.7 lots, but I typed 7.. so I went in with seven lots.. Lost 1700 dollars before I shit my pants and closed it..and there it went a good chunk of my equity..

lol. I had no idea and no concept of anything when I placed my first trade. Had never seen charts before, never heard of forex, I knew of the markets but still 0 knowledge.

Popped open the really lovely forex.com terminal [note heavy heavy sarcasm]. Felt like I just opened the control panel to a space ship. Pushed some buttons, seen the balance drop. Pushed some more buttons. I was closing open orders by selling the amount that I bought... lol. Push button ordering... so, buy buy buy, then sell sell sell. Then sell sell sell and maybe a buy. (demo, of course).

Yeah, I don't get it. Think I shelved trading for a year or two and kinda forgot about it before coming back to it.
