hello everybody, how are you guys? any trading ideas? im looking at aud usd, its in a resistance level, waiting for a clear price action rejecting signal on a day, 4hr or 1hr chart.
AUDUSD range is to tight, it is only 78. Our PVSRA ADR derived based on the averaging period day=15, week=13. The special range averaging process for the Day range lines skips any brief Sunday sessions of some brokers, which would drag the average down. The Week range lines use the standard ATR formula since brief Sunday sessions do not much affect the results.

My initial R:R would be 1:1. With 1/3 ADR, We got only 26 pips TP and SL. That would be to tight for burst sudden move. I trade major pairs, So I would focus my intention on USDCAD, USDJPY, and GBPUSD, since these pairs have wider ADR than that AU, UChf, or EU. Maybe I will wait until London Open to see more activity, more volatility.

Note edit:
-But lets see if the good setup coming, so I will trade AU and UChf too...

for those who believe that the yen will weaken again, AUDJPY seems to be the best to go long in.

Well, this is Monday, 50 pips are good pips when market prices change slowly, so take it. A day like billion days.

you guys know what my problem is with trading? It's overtrading and i get nervous and angry when i'm in a loss and then i can be destructive because i want to recover fast to get lost of the nerves. Because of this emotion i can blow up my account in a day...
I know that when i keep trading like this that i can be profitable, but i also know that there will be a day that i will be destructive again.
How can we control this emotion?

Maybe it's because aiming for a shitload % a day 4 to 10 percent is to much.

I'm not nervous of losing my $100,- investment but i'm nervous about losing my dream....

Who can recognise his/her self in this?

the irony is it's your nervousness about losing your dream which is the reason behind losing your dream.

Nice trades there mate! Well you need good sleep after loss. Its so hard to control emotion, a few can with a good practice in the very long time. You should reduce your dream a bit.

calm down. 4% a month is what you should be trying to achieve rather than 4% a day. that is insane and not doable over a consistent period of time. If anyone can, he would be trading billions at GS than struggling with a $1000 account. so calm down, take it easy. everyone goes through this. i did too. but managed to overcome it slowly. now i trade spot FX and FX options as well and make a living.

Take this like an excercise of your mind, put some hours to check the charts, analize them, set the trade if there is somehting and then forget about it, let your sl and tp do the rest, put some rules to enter a trade, if their isnt any good trade turn off your computer. Its discipline. Dont look at your funds, look at your growing percentage.

Dont be in the charts all day, dont be i one trade all day looking how the minutes candles moves. try to avoide the chart sickness.
