Hi Juan007! Why overtrading? You need this like a hole in the head! I don't know ( I only guess) your exact entries but for AU it was on limit already and close to BRN and the counter part "never trade against H4"! And yes, that's reason enough not to take the trades!

I did not understand you friend

USD all-time 1st

CHF all the time in 8th


You do transactions with other couples ...


1x8 only make it ... you do not need to other pairs. when you see that the pair is saturated or you've arrived at your goal, turn off the PC and will date, study, wash the car,,, will live life. Only do 1x8,,, strength unlike talking,,, it is long.

Exactly what I did this morning after Tokyo session! I was happy with 4 trades (33 pip) and switched off laptop.

Hi tradista,

you're not alone.
Reading your post is like looking in the mirror.

Many days I reach 2 % target in less that an hour (sometimes minutes), but some of these days instead of stop trading I go on in trading until I lose. And sometimes it happened that losses became big. It's strange : think if somebody knocked on your door and ensured 1 % per day- probably everybody on the earth would then put his signature. I think that most of us can make 1% a day consistently, so why we aren't done ?

Call it greed, fear, lack of discipline it's all a matter of complicated psychology, amounting to more than 50% of the game.
There's something more than pure will and to become consistently profitable for long periods we need to enter a new state of mind.
And sooner or later we will get there.

Best regards,
Bubincka

After quite good trading time (two weeks) i fall into worst time. I am 8% DD at the moment from the 1st May. Few times i was few seconds late to set pending order on first 00 or 05 level so put on second. The result was poor - SL. And few other mistakes. Sometimes i was more concentrated on streanth than Udine rules. I am not proud of myself. I am going to take short break and start again to finish this month on BE.
I miss Udine posts and screenshots. It is as important for me as Polar Star for sailors. His posts make me concentrated on most important things. Hope he will come back soon to fix my trading mind on right track.

This is a great post. For the records!

Guys and girls....Lets face up. Remove all the clutter that is in your mind and play this as Udine has advocated all along. A BUSINESS!

Go back, read the first post. Dump everything else and treat it as "tools to help"! But DO NOT LOSE FOCUS.

Do not just look at the top traders wins and think...Dang where was I? How could i have not? NOPE. Study the charts ALL THE TIME. Learn as opposed to Earn.

I see a lot of traders taking trades left, right and center. Think about it...Would I invest with you ever? No way! Thats amateurish. The goal is not how much you make....But how long can you sustain in this business.

If someone is making 30% a day...my money is not with this person. Thats for sure. Be professional.

I had a bad day yesterday. Lost out on a NU trade. What did I do? Shut my computer off as I was down 1% for the day net. Tomorrow is another day. NU gave me back later in the Tokyo session.No worries.

How many extras do you take in a day is a point of personality/character/past experience. Keep it all in perspective. Dont keep looking down at the money down in that account. I look at it once a week. Focus on rules and you will be fine.
PDFBCC. Some of you, like me, are struggling with Patience which affects the D,F, B, C and C. Cut down on your risk if it allows you to to increase the SL. Trade with less money if it allows you to be aggressive. See what I mean.

As a well wisher, I want to wish you safe trading. In any game, there are coaches who tell you what went wrong and how you could do well. In this game unfortunately there are no coaches only slumdog millionaires

In summary, Get real. Be practical. But more importantly, re read post 1 thoroughly. Memorise it! If I can do it, so can you!

Understood.

hi all, I have a question for robinho: how you can put the absolute indicator with differents TF on the 5min chart , I found no parameter to adjut that.

May be I don't have the good version...

can you send you version of this indicator?

I have some loss this week and what I did is to reduce the lot size at min.... tp 5-6 pips only until I feel better ( control emotions...)

have a nice day

Wish it wasn't like that for you, but I know what you mean ...

Moving on and mastering oneself as well as the method will certainly make all the difference in the world.

I know that forexfactory is not Facebook, but if it was, I would press...."like" to your post.
Trading is about making money, every time I open my trading platform I say to myself, "I want to make money, if I trade"
I am not trading huge lots, but I am trading real money. When we trade real money, all sorts of new things come into our head.
Revenge trading, who has not made this mistake? I certainly have.
Who has hit their target for the day, and then gone on to lose it, but getting greedy? I certainly have
I make these mistakes less often if I say to myself, when I am opening my trading platform "I want to make money, if I trade"
Demo trading is good to learn, how to use the platform, but once you have done that and you understand your system and you see that it can be profitable, open an account with real money, trade very small amounts until you prove to yourself that you can trade larger amounts.

Kudos to Udine!

Thx pgpb. We forget why we are doing it...It is for our families. Our life. Means to the end. This is not the end. I had some issues with family...do I continue trading? Hell No. Are we emotionally OK to make that great decision. NO. Its like everything else in life.
