I agree with your view. I have something valuable to add.

DON'T EVER TRY TO MOVE THE MARKET. LET THE MARKET DOES THE MOVES. THEN MAKE YOUR MOVE.

You can't move the market. The market will make moves. Up dan Down. And follow it accordingly.

Just like riding the waves. Don't try to fight it. You will be exhausted. Rather save your energy. And Ride with it.

a visual recap from last post

the very weak GB ref (cluster) at 13321 has been removed. After a brief attempt up, pit session started to liquidate overnight inventory that was 100% long. Now 13300 is round weak and the only support that could avoid a full retracement of the overnight activity is the current pit gap higher. Let's see if it could resist or not.

Absolutely and I was the "newbe of the newbes" when I started. And, furthermore, I never had the luckyness to start my approach to trading with such a precise warning about what was going to happen to me in the near future. And this is exactly the reason why I like to share that knowledge right now with the upcoming newbes.

Sound advice Lock. Btw, whatever a trader's level he or she needs to keep learning to trade better and to build a profitable trading edge. As past performance is not indicative of future results, is there any specific thing you've learnt recently that could help you trade better and you feel like sharing it with other FF members, share it at a lesson shared. Green pips to you.

Look at that 400 pip gap. Many account opened up margin called. Only even consider the call of someone unless they have a trade explorer. Many people are here to sell you subscription to their calls, but why would I do that when I can make more from PAMM service? You have to learn that the holy grail isn't real, but you being able to learn patterns is much higher than say a Monkey trading currency. Everything is in the charts. The only thing is you have to trade live as you backtested. In other words if you are looking at the 1m your only...
Our boy has gone radio silent for the last 24 hours or so. I haven't seen him on any threads. Even after I saw him taunting people on the GBP/USD thread yesterday.

And so, since I'm such a caring, loving guy, I thought I'd check up on him and his amazing trade explorer he always points to as a sign of his expertise. Yes, this:

The lesson here, folks?

#1: Don't be a douche bag. The guy came out attacking me for no reason except the fact I posted a screenshot with my profits from a trade. The only reason someone gets angry at you for something like that is because they resent you and are jealous they can't do the same in their trading.

#2: When someone with very little history here on FF comes in and starts railing on anyone, let alone long-time, respected members of the FF community, be suspicious. This is not someone you should follow, trust, or believe has any skill. If they did, they wouldn't so clearly have something to prove.

Hippie, imho what a newbie, including me, needs is really to build discipline into his/her trading. There are thousands of ways to trade and system hopping is not advisable but getting and developing a functional system which the trader has mastered and is comfortable with and then putting behind it solid discipline. The No. 1 cause of trading failure is linked with self-destructive behaviours, aka lack of discipline.

Hey Keen, if you're new to FX I'd recommend checking out my blog. I do a daily writeup there for six pairs, including GBP/USD. I keep it pretty simple to understand and have gotten a lot of praise from those new to FX as well as advanced folks.

Patience is definitely key though, and I exercise that a great deal while waiting for the right setups.

Thanks Gepp, not new to FX trading. Been trading since 2011 with live accounts. I call myself 'newbie' for the heck of the discussion and because any trader that becomes a member of FF recently is seen by the 'senior guys/gals' as newbie. No hurts. Green pips to you.

Just for you. This is why I have stopped observing and posting on forums.

I got much better after I found my own trading style and strategy. Discipline is one thing. But the most important thing is that the system works for you. Even if you instil discipline and lose money, it defeats any purpose. Point is to come up with something that will get you money and stick with it and master it.

What I did was to clear my charts of EVERYTHING. Look at the charts and ask yourself what you plan to see. First thing I worked on is understanding support and resistance levels. So I started drawing lines. Then it got too messy so I removed them and updated only when PA breaks resistance / support.

Then I decided to add some indicators to give myself a feel of price action behaviour (this is really not necessary if you are good enough with PA like many others on this forum).

You just need to keep back testing and see how your strategy played out in the past. Then put it into play on a demo account for 1 - 2 weeks to test it out (if markets slow down, you may want to test for a longer time). After which, if you feel better, start small. I started with 0.01 lots and I am now progressing into 0.1 lots. It takes time but once you have confidence in your strategy and profits to work with, you can definitely do it.

Don't think too far and get started first. Good luck!
