For anyone looking for the Holy Grail, consider the title of a book - "Watching The Tree To Catch A Hare".

A young boy (trader) goes into the woods one day looking for something for his family to eat.

His thrashing around scares a hare who bolts out of his hiding place and runs directly into a tree, knocking himself out. (the trader's first big win)

The boy is amazed and overjoyed, quickly catching the hare and taking it home for the family dinner.

From then on he watches that tree, waiting for the next hare to run into it. (waiting for the next big win)

Hope keeps you going, when you should, and when you shouldn't.

Fear makes you hesitate, when you should, and when you shouldn't.

The Holy Grail lies in mastering your emotions through discipline and gaining confidence in your judgement without becoming overconfident.

This is the success that you can't give away to others! It must be earned.

That is completely true about the HG. Hesitation is our worst enemy as much as over confidence. Only through discipline we can learn more about ourselves and our emotions to finally control them.

Nice story about the hare, will search for it. I wanted to thank you for the PM. I hope you are doing great!

Yes, we agree. The book is not as good as the story, I'm afraid. But it reminded me of trading. I lost most of my account after making a few thousand in less then a minute. It was so intoxicating that I tried to repeat it with predictable results.

When a big win comes along, our elation needs to be tempered by reminding ourselves that losses will occur also. And retain our balance.

Otherwise our judgment flies out the window! Along with our money!

It never gets repetitive to listen to how careful we need to be about over confidence. Thx for sharing your story. And it happens at every level. In my case I've been many times finally about to departure with my acc growing when I fall flat in my face for doing those things I knew I needed to avoid. Discipline is an everyday process.

I found the avatar looking for equilibrium images which is what most of my trading has to do with, it's interesting all what you say about it.

Thank you and a successful week.

Hi,

My first trade in this system. Only demo 20 TP/20 SL. Its seems to be going the right direction, the box is hand drawn. The EA atached only adds the SL/TP after I pull the trigger.

AWOL, Xux just messaged me to say that he located your bug and fixed it already. Everyone, the next version is almost ready to post again. This next version is called the Final Edition. It will have quite a few new and improved features, not to mention several bug fixes like the one AWOL just discovered. Unless you've been personally involved in a coding project you really can't understand just how much time and effort it takes to get a job like this to the finish line. Figure it takes at least 150 man hours for a basic job, and then double that...

Hi FH

I was wondering if you could share some of your accumulated wisdom, when it comes to recovering from losing trades, as per post 7,094. I have searched the thread and noticed you haven't given your method of recouping from a losing trade. (you have stated on many occasions that Martingale is a useful tool, but you haven't exactly said how you use it.) I do note that you have warned us newbies as to the inherent danger of blindly using Martingale, so how should we structure trades using this tool?? I would greatly appreciate your insight Thanks

Not being funny mate, but if the OP hasn't coughed up the answer to this in two and a half years, he's not likely to do it now is he?

if it works for you, I suggest you stay impressed about the successful trades he posts but be mindful of the fact that there are many trades that will have hit SL before hand.

This method is certainly no holy grail, regardless of the amount of interest it has attracted. It is, however, a concept to trading that can condition you to becoming successful. You can read is whole thread 5 times and you won't find a way to trade successfully. All it will do is put you on a path that will. Once on the path, you have to figure out twice as much for yourself as what this thread has to offer.

money management, scaling in and out, r:r... Understanding these when trading with this concept/system is a winner. But you will have to fathom out most of it for yourself.

You are now asking the type of question that will shorten your noob trading status by a year or more, and get you on to the path to trading professionally. Which is why I reserve answering it/them for my paying students.
