Hi Michael thanks for your response. I have related trading to work and come up with some pros and cons At work I assess a patient in about 2seconds . 2 seconds is all it takes to see if a patient needs immediate intervention or is compensating ...

I didn't understand your comment until it manifested at the very end of the video. So every day we are confronted with chaos, simply as people existing and being exposed to the world. We need to continually evolve in response to the chaos, to burn ...

My lifestyle away from the chart

well yes. I bought EU at resistance, with 4 trades instead of none, and killed the little daily profit I had.. and it was torture for 2 hr 10min. I suppose it would count as a very bad date. Fortunately it wasn't a sleepover.. no extreme morning ...

I'm stuck between conscious competence, and conscious incompetence. Still over-trading, and I was stupid enough to try EU longs during the doldrums today, akin to water torture. Then I had to abort and try sleep before work. My trades can be ...

Unconscious competence. A state I hope to achieve one day ! To look at a chart calmly and know by experience what is likely a sound trade, on automation. Calm, methodical, constant. That's what your journal presents to us OTM. Thank you. I oscillate ...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - A Real Trading Record

Hi Iggi, welcome and good luck ! Are you trialing FX now, or trading cryptos? Cheers h

I'm a lurker

I'm back at work today so no trading but I wanted to write down my initial success story. So 3.5 years ago now (give or take) I went live with a $500 account. I placed a .4 lot sell on UJ with a 5min bear candle break down after a tight range (2 ...

Yes indeed , reasonable room to move, to breathe. Cheers

Hope you're killing it today. Down she goes.

I also want to add this. Besides the fact that I find the Asian session is optimal to trade 2-5 hours into session, I also know that after 3 hours trying to scalp my skill deteriorates markedly. Part of the reason I performed so badly having time ...

I just wanted to add these charts. Besides my issue with general trading ability, finding the right comfort zone platform to grow from has been a bit of an issue. Finding flow and minimising the risk of flood, whilst continuing to evolve. I'm happy ...

I will add that I have volumes at the bottom of my chart too, and I definitely hunt increased volume / momentum of PA. I am also happy to say that I do not have all the answers, sometimes everything is perfect, sometimes everything is bad. I have ...

My take on Emotional Discipline

My edge is my experience. After 4 years I KNOW Do not trade 1st 2 hours of Asian Concentrate on 1 pair at a time Do not over commit Be open to both bull and bear TL even 1min , if they are longer than 20 min, can be strong as steel BEWARE NEWS Do ...

My take on Emotional Discipline

I was just sitting in the bath and thinking that I definitely HAVE an edge, an emotional edge that I habitually fall off. So the true trick is to NOT have an edge...no emotional cliff to fall off. When I am in the red I tend to trade well with ...

My take on Emotional Discipline

Hi there ! May you learn lots ! Don't pick up habits from my trading today though, all very bad! Cheers H

Keep Trying

Today has been... Death of a thousand cuts... Have fed one third of my losses in commission which is embarrassing and a true sign of over trading. In case you're trying to count how many trades, I will tell you. 25!!! 25 trades, mostly in groups of ...

potential hour shooting star UJ.

Which fish do you recommend ? I always regret trading AUDUSD. It does weird things I swear

Keep Trying

Closed UJ long manually at 110.23ish. Made the mistake of shorting AU, shouldn't trade 2 pairs at once, lost concentration , got stopped out on AU trades and closed my good UJ prematurely.

Keep Trying

A jittery start, with some overtrading. I had closed 7 trades within 15min or something mixed bag but I've come out on top. not neat. Have TP for last trade at 110.440 (belowR61)
