I am certainly not a seasoned trader, but there is something I would like to emphasize to the newer traders. It has already been mentioned a few times in this thread, but I think it so very important for those who want to trade this system to find a broker with low spreads. I ignored this issue and tried trading Udine's way with high spreads and zero commission and my results were HORRIBLE. My newbie thinking thought that the low spreads + commission would be the same as high spreads and no commission. Then it hit me the other day. It's not all about cost, it's also about when your trades are triggered in and out. 1 or 2 pips can make a HUGE difference between closing a trade in profit, or watching it almost hit your TP and then slide back down to the SL.
Since this realization hit my dumbass right up side my head, I have found a new broker with low spreads. I have only made 8 trades with the new broker, but I have 8 wins vs 0 losses. I know that I'm going to have my share of losing trades, and bad days overall, but the lower spreads are a giant improvement over the dismal results I was experiencing with higher spreads. LOL, I also know that for you experienced guys this is just common sense, but for us newbies sometimes simple things like this have to be explained MANY times before it finally sinks in to our newbie skulls. Just wanted to throw this out there for my fellow noobs!
My biggest problem now is I like to trade the London open, which is at 2:00 am where I live. Damn hard to get up at 2:00 in the morning when you have to be at work at 8:00 am. Hehe, sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't................

BTW, Churchill was right, if you are going through hell and you stop, then you are stuck there...

{quote} Lick your wounds and come back with force again tomorrow.. if it was easy and according to plan all the time, then everyone would have been doing it. take it easy brother..
Anyway,I can be everything but sure not person who will quite....I am just saying facts here,and i don't like some fact which i clarified in previous post.... Not saying that this cannot be profitable in longer run,but all people here must be aware what needs to be done to suceed and when days like today comes without bonus trade,it will burn your profit....and commissions + spread can be killer as well!
And the worse case you cannot know when those days will come....
Trade safe!!
It is just not for me
,and i am complicated when we talk about trading!How are you doing it today?
Regards!
