time for a signal is past and I don't even see any pattern that I can exploit. when you're trading just single pair and don't really focus on trading a specific pattern - well even if you do setting specific times throughout the day to check on the ...

Changes. I've decided to focus only on GBPJPY. As far as indicators are concerned I've been using MACD only and haven't made any changes the past month which is a big improvement for me and I'm going to keep it that way. As for trading "specific ...

Oh yes!! It has been a roller coaster for me and it still is in some ways. I wouldn't trade that 10months of full time trading with anything and I have learned more than I have when I was trying it out part time for 2 years. I guess making a fortune ...

9 consecutive months of "losing" During this period I have traded from 1m chart to weekly, DAX to EURCAD and even gold. I wasn't settled on a specific method up until the month of Oct, same month where my losses started to show some signs of slowing ...

I feel nauseous looking at this. But this where I'm at. And I need a "change".

There's also GBPJPY and GBPCHF short on the watchlist for the session. But I'm skeptical about going with GBPCHF I don't know if they move much during this time. I think I would be better off with GBPJPY and GBPNZD for the session.

Havoc of opening a trade before a candle is finished. Signal wasn't there. But the pattern was building itself. Another form of impatience eating me up. Won't let this happen. I'm getting better. Back to 1h method. Thus far I've explored trading ...

This rings so true! I don't hate trading by all no means, been at it for 4 years non stop, if I hated it I would have abandoned it long time ago. It's just that with trading especially at the initial stages whether you like it or not you'll have to ...

How do you see trading - Do you see it as a means to an end?

Thanks Darastonius for writing out such a detailed answer, as Feline mentioned in his post I think what I meant by "feeling of loneliness" was that with other professions you go out and interact with people throughout the day but with trading from ...

How do you see trading - Do you see it as a means to an end?

What I have learned 1. If a price breaks violently and with huge volume always "always" wait for a rollback 2. Setup should be taken once a long or short signal is given (the pattern!!) don't trade it without a signal 3. Watch out what the herd is ...
