let me go a bit further since Mikey aint around....

It comes down to the Market... If you accept what the market gives you then fine.. If you want to tell the market how much percent you want to make each month, then good luck.

The market is an ever changing living organism.... why??? cause its made up of decisions of millions of people every day... & every day they can change their minds....

thats why Quants & robots will work for a while but then send all the profits to hell..

If you spend the time & practise price action as taught here you may well keep yourself from loosing lots of money. If you take the time to learn price action & implament it with sound money management you will make money...

how do I know this you may ask????

I will say this here cause now its a "comercial" forum... I am an an electrician by trade but for the last 15 years have worked as a marine engineer onboard both submarines & private yachts....

In the time of the last 4 years I been learning PA from James16 & of course all the friends I have met therein..
Now, as it is commonly known in J16 I only freelance jobs, do deliveries, but spend most of my time trading..
& whats more I make good money doing it.... Have I met my goals yet?? NO... Am I getting closer every day?? YES.... Do I fuk up & make mistakes?? absolutely...

BUT the path is there.. I know what it is I have to do & now I just do it...

Yes this is a bit of a rant.. but I feel it is ok so as to show newbies that it is possible with work & effort to make a go of it with this trading thing...
well especially if you come from my sort of backround...blue collar..
Just ask Mike someday how long it took me to type or use a computer..

Hey Atton,

Well done on this trade..... I take these all day IF they appear..... & mostly they dont.. so well done for catching one... I havent spent time working out your exit rule but cause you are new I will assume you dont have one or 2 or 3 or for any other contingency.. So well done..


Now if you are serious about learning this go back to page one of this thread.. & read it again. & again....
not the whole thread but the first pages.. you will save a lot of heart ache.

For the record... this is the kind of trade I love.... but what do you do if it goes against you in the first 2 bars??? what do you do???


It sucks... but you have to take the loss & get out early... or at your stop., which you must have, weather it an arbitrary 10 pip or more, but you have to set one. cause @ 5m it all happens quick.. & If you want a quick 20minute profite you better be ready to deal with the same loss.

The main problem with touch trading too early in the learning curve is that you are doing it for all the wrong reasons. The one thing that will kill you in touch or low time timeframe trading IMO is doing it because you want more opportunities to trade.

Newer traders see more opportunities to trade as more opportunities...

yep. spot on Aaron...
now your getting it.. you sound more relaxed lately too.

Would appreciate 1min of your time to feedback if I'm "getting it".

Would your long/short decisions you just posted be based on the PA of something else as well?

Just need a Yes/No?

Thank you =)

i am guessing yes & no...

The lesson, if that's the way you're thinking, is not to focus on what anyone else is doing but to focus on yourself. It...

why is it a loss?? how tight was your stop above the daily bar..

on my feed my stop has not been hit. I played this as a normal daily bar as it is my daily srategy... Its no problem... it happens.. its only one trade.

with my daily trades I set & forget them... but I see some people here not happy that it did not go as planned...?

Well when you do this long enough you will realize that things dont go as planned all the time.. Remember its just a game of probabilities...
to prove what I am saying here is my chart of my trade..
will I take a loss???? maybe but it happens... may it come all the way back & make me cash.. equal chance in my opinion... the trade is not over till my stop is hit. weather for profit or loss..
