Completely agree. Good development guys/gals. I like being able to just show the 'near' RNs.

Default Psychology

Great posts guys on dealing with the stuff not on the chart. Several of us started around the same time I did on this thread (12-18mos ago). And now we're getting to the point that we understand the material and what we should be looking for. Most of us have completed our first step(s) of proving it on demo and proving it with a small live account. We're now at a level of just relaxing and letting the trades coming to us.
I've struggled with the mindset that I have to be trading to be 'working' and that I have to have results to show I was doing something. That might mean reading an experts' post history [again and again]... or doing yet more backtesting.

Although this might have some (minor?) benefit, it also is a dangerous mentality. Instead, as everyone that has gone through this tells us - we need to keep it simple. Relax. Let the trades come to us. If we don't get a setup today, no worries. If we don't get a setup tomorrow, or even this week, no worries. That also means we didn't lose any trades today, tomorrow, this week. It's about putting our money on the line ONLY when we see a valid, tested, proven on demo, edge.

I feel only experience and perseverance will get us over this 'must stay busy' mentality. As I come up on a year of learning and trading this method that is Price Action, I look back and am proud of how far I've come. Does that mean I'm a successful trader? If successful means I'm still trading, using proper money management, then yes. And as my experience grows, so too will my account. Trading is a marathon. Maybe even an ultramarathon. It's certainly not a sprint. Realizing that and constantly reminding myself of that has really helped.

So thanks for those who post their experiences and advice about psychological battles they encounter. As SP mentioned, we need to learn about this stuff (through Fiji if you have that option) more than we realize.

Happy Trading,

Josh

Default Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you all! And God's blessings as we roll into 2010.

I don't have the words to express the gratitude I feel to those who have helped me in 2009. As I was reviewing my trades for the year, seeing the improvement, I remembered that I couldn't have done it without the help from the regulars on this thread. A special thanks to Jankone, Mike, James, Jim, and Ryan. To Bones for suggesting I 'look into' this thread. And to TiaForex for your friendship, on and off the charts.

I'm truly looking forward to the next week, where I'll be taking some time off to enjoy the company and laughs of my family and friends. Have a happy, safe holiday season,

Josh

I'm liking this one more. But it isn't breaking hard and may fail. Again, worth waiting for a break of bar.

Patience.

I remember reading on the thread about how new traders go through a series of stages, like stages of development.

Can you expand on that?

P
Post 1 outlines a plan for progressing through each stage of becoming a successful trader... Good posts Mike. Added to Mike's Folder.
