Hello folks. It is with a lot of sadness that I announce you that I have once again fallen into a compulsive behaviour. I lost very big amounts of cash and don't feel good at all. This time it was the heaviest. I'm falling down a spiral, this time I don't know how I will recover. It seems I can't quit placing random trades.

It seems that all the edges are starting to get little.

First, the false 5 pip-candle started to appear as a normal thing (I once followed the previous system). Now the spreads are joking, like JpMorgan itself were lurking.

Tony, I've been followed your journey from the beggining.

You've been a man who in his day discovered an advantage. You, against computers of millions of dollars, discovered an advantage.

You're a legend man! Stop doing shit with your impatiente and let's make bank.

I am beginning to think there's no one strategy but rather a few possible ones, and with slight tweaking required to cope with the ever changing markets. But the basic premise remains the same, see where the sharks are swimming and swim beside them, rather than swimming right into their mouths.

The basic premise remains the same, big players and central banks know certain things before the market and the tricky part is spotting the price action which is a result of what they do. Our major challenges remains slippage, widening spreads and whipsaws. The first two being especially a major factor in news trading.

That said, I'll be holding off actual trading with cash for now, and go back to demo a few concepts that I have been thinking about, these concepts are along the same lines of swimming with the sharks without becoming shark feed and using the 5 sec charts to stay sensitive to the market pulse. And I will share my ideas and concepts here so that we can all sharpen each other, and all be successful together.

Hello Tony!
I admired their way of sharing their vision, their challenges and achievements with trading.
Not delivered by an obstacle in the way. Life is a series of challenges and God gave us the resources and means to overcome them.
You've done the hardest, which is going through the learning curve and master the skills to be consistent. Do not let the bad times affect that part of any important achievement.
Try to focus only on the best opportunities, even if they are few a week, and have clear which rules to follow. A healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, adequate rest, physical excercises, tamar sun when possible can also be useful to him. Have a good deal of outdoors in your routine. You will feel good.
When compulsive, I'm only in demo accounts and unload them all adrenaline that tends to be present in any trader. Also be busy listening to something something nice that adds something positive while I'm busy in monitoring the market as bbnradio.org is one of personal solutions to this. Routines tend to be exhaustive, and something else besides trading may be something to consider.
Sorry for bad English. Best wishes.

Hi, Tony,
Thanks for sharing your despair and crushing spiral.... Read through my profile, if you wish and we can have a talk/email exchange together. I know exactly what you are going through...

Thanks for understanding me all. I will be away for a week. Yesterday 2013/06/13 I abused the financial market and started placing random trades while I was drinking. I'm really devastated. This is the result:

Tony - take a week off, clear your head, and then drop your lot size and just get back to work. Its a job like any other that once you learn how to perform, you'll always be able to. You got it, don't worry. Note your mistake and then move on

I'm gonna be back on track soon. I'm going to control myself. During the futur months there will be 2 new things to the thread:

1.I'll be reporting (videos) from downtown Montreal/New York/Toronto. Videos will be posted here. It will be about financial times, news, expectations, personal opinions and trading techniques.

2.There will be a ''homeless'' program for which I have to find a name. It will be 1 day per month where me and my business partners will hang out free cash to homeless people downtown Montreal/New York/Toronto. It's going to be epic and be filmed. It will also help any average people or young students. Hopefully we can put this in place before the cold weather comes back.

(take note that rules page no.1 will slightly change soon)

This morning I asked my 2 y.o. child to draw what ''daddy's working on''. I guess she's been created while I was on this lol:

I'm ******amazed******* of all the news spikes... it's already embedded in her brain. I'm gonna turn them all into financial experts... I hope to live old enough to be able to show them myself.

Tony,

I have been following your thread for quite some time now, not because i hope to one day trade your method, but just because of who you are. When you hit those epics, you share the joy with us. When the markets f*** you up, you let every one know that it is not a one way traffic. There is one thing that I wish I could learn from you: patience! You got where you are bse of it. You stuck to your rules until you succeeded. This is not the largest loss you have recorded if my memory serves me right. Not long ago you had a 170k loss, and you were able to make it up.

Like one trader has pointed out, probably you could lower your lot sizes a bit. Actually when an acc swells, it becomes quite a problem to trade if one aim at the same percentages as when the acc was relatively small

Keep the faith Tony

These are the words that make my day. I will not only get up but will continue this thread until FF closes or I die. There's new money to be made. I will once again say it. There's no equivalent force to a successful investment business.
