Where did you go short if I may ask?

I've taken some profit at the FTA and moved my SL as well. If I get stopped out I'll break even.

I’m going to be away on a little 2 week holiday. I just wanted to wish all of you a happy festive season. This is the only Christmas greeting you’re getting from me BTW, so don’t expect anything in the post . I’ll be back before the new site launches. Take care.

{quote} This is no joke, from my personal experience. I probably lost $40K in my 7 years of exploration (all before learning James16 basics). I am quickly making that back now. It only took about 6-8 months of education, and after that, my first full year of trading was in profit. This year, I have probably tripled my profit percentage from that first year. Now, everyone is different, of course. Some people are profitable in a short amount of time and, others, it takes longer. Does it matter though how long it takes? I firmly believe the group is...

{quote} I do agree with that, expectations must be in sync with trading additude. For me anything above 15k/year could be considerate as live from trading lol so ya it can be done. Thought i would never JUST trade. If you trade lets say daily only thats what? 1hour screen time per day? Gotta put another 23hours on some use right. Mabey get a ''easy''day job, mini business on a side itc... Was never my dream spending 8+ hours/day at screens watching charts, that would be boring as hell lol.
Yep good points GG

I spend very little time actually trading. I might spend a total screen time of a few hours a day , and the other 12 on the j16 site. It's certainly not fun to be glued to the screen watching a 5 min chart for me

Nice setups, zamfir.

Can you share how many percent of your trades isnt loosers (in other words how many percent of your trades is profitable or break even)? It seems you are posting only good ones so this question comes to my head. Thanks in advance.

I do have losers , but they are due to my mistakes. some very obvious , some not so obvious.

I keep a record of the losers and what mistakes i make in my journal and i try not to make those mistakes again. This is how i measure my progress.

Also most losers come from experimental trades , which i know i should not be taking but do anyways. This has to do with my own psychological issues. Sometimes i deviate from my trading plans.

if you want i can post losers too. Most of my losers come from silly mistakes and experimental trades.

Its just that you have to win more times than you lose at the end of the month while learning to be net positive.

The learning process never ends , you always keep learning something new every week or month. This is an area where i need to bring some stability and stop the experimental trades.

Thanks for answer. So if I understand it righ, you have very high percentage of succesfull trades (profitable + B/E ones) if you are sticking to your plan based on PA.

yes.

The hardest part for you all will be picking the best S/Rs. Playing PA is not an issue for most. Picking the best S/Rs is where a lot of practice and testing is required.

I am trying to stick to S/R levels (HL, TL, BR) which have:

  1. more then few touches
  2. more precise touches are better touches

Example of this is now TL on AUDCAD daily for me.

Do you have any tips for improve S/R tuning?

This is my entry again on AUDCAD.

See the S/R Zone. Pretty straightforward in a uptrend.

So you are combinng two S/R areas ... Trendline with Horizontal S/R. I was looking that you are in many times looking for Big Round numbers.

Hi baavgai. What I did is just went to Fijitrader's profile and read every single post he made, starting from the beginning. I am fairly sure you can still do this on his profile.

In retrospect, that was a very useful thing for me, at the time (before I joined J16). I was not even using proper money management in my trading. Reading his posts taught me proper money management. So, when I joined the J16 group, I already knew quite a bit of that side of the coin. Hugely important.

I am glad to see you make this decision. This is probably one of the most important things that Jim teaches. Demo trading teaches patience, and in my opinion, that is truly one of the most important assets of a trader. After that, I would say it is the tenacity to keep fighting to learn how to trade/invest/etc., no matter what happens.
The game taught me the game.

If it bounces off the T/L, the first issue will be getting through the Very Big Round Number of 1.00000. Once through there it may stumble at the top of the box (which is the 2nd resistance area). Note that the top of the box is not set yet as there generally has to be a 2 or 3 days where the high is not reached or breached. Same for the bottom of the box.
When the top and bottom are confirmed, if it then breaks out upward, it should be happy days and a 2nd parcel can be bought on a solid break of that box top (treated as a completely separate trade ofc).
That's my take on this pair anyhow
