I am short with USDCAD Good to know that we're on the same page (aspiring trader v full timer ?) this actually gave me a boost of confidence. I was afraid that I came in a little too early. USDCAD pairs usually do not become active until Frankfurt ...

as long as you've got your capital you can claim your rewards (miracle) but no capital there's going to be no reward preservation of capital should be number 1 rule for every trader not xxxx% of gains.

But I think at the end of the day our destiny lies in our own hands. Mentor sure can guide you to the right path, save you from going down the wrong path. But can't make you a successful trader, no one can but only yourself. We can't learn to fly a ...

Giving up?

do you also agree with the statement the moment you're ready to quit is usually the moment right before the miracle happens ?

haha. well that came off confusing. what I meant was that I'm not ready to trade Nikkei on a live account as of Jan'18. My max drawdown is currently almost at 300$, surely can't let that happen on a live. but I am ready to trade majors on a live ...

Journey to consistency

I'm keeping my word and will only trade Nikkei. Initially I was planning to make the transition to live account as of Jan 18. But I feel that I'm not yet ready to go live especially on an Index just yet. My account would be blown up in a matter of ...

Know when to trade and when not to trade If there is no signal at 7:30 and 7:40 I'll dismiss the session altogether. Today would have been an off day. I feel defeated. I feel like giving up. But I'll continue the journey.

2 losses in a row 1 was a bad timing The other no excuse it just worked out that way No entry signal thus far during Sydney and I usually get one. I'll wait around Tokyo usually there's 2, or there could be days where there's none.

When I find out I'm wrong usually under 5-10mins after my entry I go "mad" and vicious descend begins by overtrading overleveraging and revenge trading. But when I'm right I am much less aggressive and usually close my trades way too early. ...

By moving with gaps (there are gaps prior the official open but on normal days it isn't as wide as todays) I also meant movement prior the official open (I guess that counts as futures open according to the exchange page) I usually take my first ...

maybe. but does it not start on the 1st of Dec ? I have no clue when it starts and when it ends now its dead.

Journey to consistency

Moves were violent this morning. Price kept moving with wide gaps ! so I figured maybe Nikkei likes to do this on Fridays ? if I remember right it was also violent last fridays I'm going to have to refer back to the past for that. Whatever the case ...

Journey to consistency

Today was a difficult session. Maybe it was friday Or maybe it was me Or maybe Dec I don't know. I felt out of touch. Couldn't feel the tempo. Max drawdown reached 190$ almost. Enough damage. Maybe I should skip Fridays and non form payroll days.

more games. DAX, DAX. I don't like it because it likes to play games. Nikkei has been gentle with me thus far. Maybe thats how it is. Or maybe i haven't seen the other side. For now I'm sticking with Nikkei.

Journey to consistency

Can't make up its mind. Probably better to leave it for an hour or more. My bias was up but I knew it was going to be tough with 1h 200ema, 12h 200ema all above. Guess it's going to play the hide and seek game for an hour or more. Save your bucks. I ...

DAX you tricked me violent it is ! I think I'm just going to trade Nikkei for the rest of the month. I'm already tired and drained as it is trying to trade both 3hours each staring at charts waiting for a setup. But if I'm going to trade Nikkei only ...

So do I ! But haven't yet kept my consistency in practice From what I have observed there's a cycle that goes on throughout the day or the session besides your usual support, resistance and candlestick formation or patterns. I like my cycle of price ...

My way to highway

What a day its been for Nikkei, I've been really enjoying trading Nikkei lately. Rarely I've seen an meh session thus far. I just haven't been able to get as much as I could. But I'll get better as the month progresses.

Journey to consistency

Well I'm glad it helped. Just keep on pushing forward. And never give up. Give it your all. Although I've been in this game for 4 years (2 years demo, 2 years full time) I don't think I've taken it "really" seriously until 2 years ago I've tried ...
