Actually if you think about it it is good for him, trading 150 full lots like our fallen star and feeling nothing after that on demo will not make you a good trader on live acc and will not prepare you psychologically for what is coming, me thinks
Well, you HAVE to FEEL SOMETHING. Or else, if you didn't feel anything you wouldn't care to manage your trades.

However, the trick is being able to CONTROL those feelings. There's a difference.
Learn to see what's there, not what you want to see.

Do you have a trade plan? Do you have it written down? Do you have a trading diary that you review on a daily and weekly baiss? Do you know statistically what your edge is over at least 5 years of data and a couple of thousands of trades?

If any answers to these questions is no, then you are not trading, you are gambling.

This is a business, treat it as such.
I have a system that I follow. Trading Made Simple. However today was an attempt to scalp around the pivots. I'm not surprised that by deviating from the plan I got killed. I was down in the account until last week where I got close to BE. I erased that today. I wouldn't even know what to write down in a trade journal. Are you referring to back testing? I really don't know how to do that. I use mt4.

Thanks cloggie for your input. I use the fork with Pivot areas to try and find your levels. You can call a level to the precise pip and I don't get how still. I use the fork and pivots to try and find these levels that sometimes are close.

I have no clue how you see 3214. I see 3217 again but not 3214. Never will figure this out!.....sigh

What is the index you use for German Bonds? If they are up how that correlate with EU/USD? I am am assuming if Bunds are UP then is makes EU go down?

I was looking at Euro Bund against Eur/USD seems to be what you mention but somehow wondering why in the month of Apr it has gone up for Bund but Eur/usd is still holding flat...

Cloggie if the fed keeps rates at 0.25%? does shorting start?

Wow......no. It's all about expectations.....the main sentiment is that the fed will keep rates unchanged UNTIL 2014......., so as long as they keep harping on that mantra, the market will probably stay the same or even go up. If they suggest, very subtle that they will do more money printing (QE) and the economy doesn't look like it's doing well, and will need help. Then we'll see eur/usd rally.

If they keep the language and the rates the same, then you can probably assume, slight dollar strength to nothing. If they say, the economy is doing better than expected and are looking at raising rates earlier, then you can definitely short euro.

So that's really it, in all fairness, it's complete BS and the Fed shouldn't even exist, we should end them.

Is that the 3% margin on deficit? (Like what the Dutch government is arguing about now, to get the 3% next year)?

That ain't gonna happen. You look for changes in the wording, that is always the key. Know how to speak FEDspeak.

Maybe a mention (or rather a lack of a mention) of QE could spark another momentous move.
