{quote} GM Chris Nice trade brother.
Good morning Squawk ... Thanks brother. Nice to see one work out once in a while. ... Still debating on adding to it or not. + roughly 300 as of now. Maybe counter trade the bounces as we approach support here. Just need to see more at this point. This will be my last week day trading as I start driving on Monday. So will take a break from it or keep looking for carry positions I can check on a couple times a week.

It's a bitter sweet thing. Having a gig to build a larger starting account (and survive on) is nice but my trading has been spot on so walking away kinda sucks ... LOL

Beginning last Monday I've had my best % returns to date. The cool thing is though, I'm pretty sure coming back to it will be like riding a bike now. I think. .. lol

Thats great Chris. Glad to hear you got some work. The trading results are fantastic and will always be there but will be much better with a decent account size. I'm sure it wont take you long to save those pennies. anything changed in last month to give you better results?

{quote} anything changed in last month to give you better results?
Being released from the last 3 years situation is a huge part of it. Gaining (or regaining) my focus on me and my future has allowed the tides of the mind to settle some once again. Clarity I once had and was buried is surfacing again. I'm finding the flow in everything once again.

Aside from all that, I've been working on a new fib structure the past 2 weeks. It attempts to address patterns I've seen over and over for many years now. The kind you sort of catch from the corner of your eye that make an impression but, are never really the center of focus?

Well, I'm making them center stage now to see what gives. The results thus far are quite interesting and "appear" very helpful. We'll see over time.

Nice one Chris good if you could extend the new ideas to swing trading while your driving.

I read an article a few years ago that was very interesting. It covered the emotional state of traders that were stressed and concerned by their outside influences and how it affected their trading. Great article! will try and dig it up for you.

I do believe it will cover any type of trading situation. Or, at least it looks that way so far. I actually decided to do it while thinking of a couple 1m scalper buddies of mine. As you can see, it's helped me stay in this UJ short for a tad more than a scalp. So at this point I'll "assume" it will work for all levels in between?

As far as that article, I'm not sure but I could probably write one by now? ... lol

Same patterns, same fibs.

One could say you are probably an expert on the matter.

Good Morning folks
Nope! Nothing. Got stopped out on EA at 4750 moved BE went to do house staff and got SO and missed almost 200pip drop.
I am telling myself "Davit don't get pissed you did the right thing BE.Next time if you didn't do that you could of turned small loss into a giant loss"
I guess I did the right thing and did not work out.Its ok there is a trade always.

Here is the rub.I knew there was no news until Thurs on USD and sort of knew perfect for corrections but underestimated scale of it.I don't think anyone could of predicted massive drop on UJ
I always said Yen is a managed currency and only huge bank like BOJ can unload with such force.Anyway I want USD bulls back!

Davit, always a fine line between holding and taking profit. Could have just as well reversed and you would have been on the right side.

Good one!
Yes likewise like to see USD bulls back tomorrow on retail news and push some back to get in again.Strange how these guys or robots vanish
My feeling is there is a huge underlining weakness on US economy that Feds are not coming up clean on it.Just posting part time half ass jobs does not make economy grow. This year projection is 2.5% growth instead of 3% forecasted.
