Hi Steve,
I was thinking last days what to do with myself to be more disciplined, to learn from mistakes I am doing, and fund out , all the mistake has to be named. Making mistakes , same mistakes over and over again builds frustration and this is making cure rather impossible. So conclusion was following, stop get mad, start analyze. To analyze anything, first you have to named it. So since today have a folder with WORD format files, each file , one day. Today only one mistake has been made (so far). Opened trade in the morning before my affirmation and news checking. I have cancel trade and whole day will read books and backtests the TMS method..
Getting frustrated all the time without taking actions drive us nowhere....
Best Regards
Jacek

Hey guys any advice appreciated

Price ranged throughout the day. Yesterday's high broke the previous day's high before stopping at a fibonacci cluster.
Price has now retraced to the 61.8 level
Daily low has been tested. Pullback candle along with a doji forming. Dont know if its symmetrical enough to be called a double bottom.
Possible entry if price brakes through 61.8 barrier. with target at 127.18 (100% retracement. although this is avery vague target.)
More likely that price reversal can happen.(61.8 rebounce, pullback candle, doji with final confirmation by tdi) TP target at yesterday's high

A short trade would be very dangerous. several red candles already

edit* not even a doji. mis read. just a weak strength candle.

Guys,
thanks for all the nice bouquets...
all that I share here are from reading many books and putting into practice the many things I read and learned. Believe me, name any investment /trading book publish in the last 25 years, I bet you I have that in my bookshelf already collected over 25 years. You want a pdf or ebook version, I also have some of them. If you want some in audio book version I also have some when I listen to during those long drives which I enjoy very much these days.

All that I share here none of them are my original or my own.
I mentioned many times ...Practice, practice, practice and when you do, you learn.
You just need to think smart and make things work for you. No two traders will have the same results trading the same method/system.

Jackub mentioned about Dr Van Tharp book Super Trader, yes that is a very good book and I am one of Van Tharp student. He taught me to identify those many sins which Jackub mentioned already. All those sins are self sabotage which we do to ourselves all the time repeatedly over and over again. We all have beliefs when we trade the market. Everyone must make that conscious effort of those beliefs and when those beliefs are not longer true we must do the turnaround. When you can do the turn around in your minds, you will succeed for sure.

Trade Well folks, it only seems hard.

Good H1 trade.

This reminds me that I should look to get out of my H4 buy swing. This is a possible trade invalidation of my H4 buy.

yesterday's reversal during NY session was a failure at Fib-r 127% of prev D low-high. I recall it was 128.90 and that was a CONFLUENCE of Prev W Fib-r 50% and RN and also something else. You see how many H1 candle touching that price level then boom it went back down. This is how EJ and JPy pairs trade in recent days, swing u and down, so you just play along using PA and S&R.

I don't have my regular computer with me now, so no charts for a few hours will I get back to my other PC.

{quote}My loosing trades are always alot more than my winning trades.
I think this is a very common problem, especially for less experienced traders and I suffered with it for a long time too.
It seems the problem is often much the same - that we do not let winners run on and do not take out losers quickly enough - it's mostly in our heads,,

For me the cure was to makes sure my stop loss was sensible, to shorten take profit by some amount and then to leave the trade alone and not even look at it, at least between each H1 candle (or whichever time frame was relevant).

For me it was very important because until I sorted this out I did not really know whether my system was working at all - even a quite poor system will most often take the price into profit, even if only for a couple of pips. For some time I would take profit at very small levels and think everything was fine until a trade went the wrong way and wiped a whole week's profit.

The good thing with TMS is that it WILL give sensible profits and manageable losses if you do it the way Big E wrote it.
Keep it simple and watch the PA, SR levels and TDI as if your life (or wallet) depends on it.

Also not keep looking at the charts relieves stress wonderfully. I sometimes forget I've even put a trade on, although that could be because I'm getting old and stupid.

Have fun.
Don't ask me, I have no idea what's going on.

How to increase your winning rate?

Quoting itrade44
{quote} .... My loosing trades are always alot more than my winning trades. Trying to work out what my problems are. ...
I was there before when my win rate was below 45% for a long period when I started trading. One of my mentor looked at all my trades, all my entries and all my exits...

Then the thing he told me to do was simply use multi-lots entry and manage exits differently.

This basic idea is also available in babypips school.
http://forums.babypips.com/analyst-a...rading-fx.html

I usually trade with a 2-lots or 3-lots entry and different exits each lot at different time/price.

Study this and conceptualise how this work on paper and then apply it in live/demo trading.

Trade Well.
