It's just a rubber band - the further it gets stretched the more strength it has to move beyond your hand once you've let it go....
wyley - be careful following me. You could lose all your money doing that "Holy Grail" exists - accepting where is the first step.

I'm sure I'm considered a little loopy too with the "New Member" label....So far most here don't seem to want to run anyone out - I'm pleased to see how attitudes about some things have changed while I've been away. It used to be if you said you didn't use a stop in a platform you'd be roasted.
1st week back of live trading was a 1.8% ROI. 10 trades. 1 loser. a. nice. tiny. loser. just the way I like 'em Admittedly it would've been a winner - I wasn't patient enough.
For transparency sake I did chicken out on my last short....0.5% ROI on that one...Risk is off the table here IMHO.

{quote} My sentiments exactly. Matter of fact, when I see guys with the little colored echelon bullshit next to their names harp about a direction I literally scroll up as fast as I can hoping I don't read that misleading shit. Lost 90 dollars of my hard earned money having made a decision influenced by one of their comments about the "breakout".
you may see, but you need to know what you're doing too.
A 1 pip gain is better than a 1 pip loss.

I totally agree Aeternum. I guess my comment was a retaliation against my weak move in taking what these guys say to heart. Its all about execution. Sure, people may say the market will go up and go this way or that. But execution of a plan that moves with your view of the market is everything.
So knowing something is one thing. Executing is an entirely different matter.
The coincidental success is more dangerous than the expected failure

Just wondering what will make me cry even more (SHORT at the recent LOW). Delaying the hedge so I will not be cought in it, tomorrow too. I guess BEARS will cry if a BULLISH day bar is printed above today's high{image}
