how long have you been a full time trader ? Although I don't make a living off of trading, all my waking hours are strictly dedicated to trading including "sometimes" while I'm asleep. I don't know if I'm going to be able to continue this kind of ...

Are we all sociopaths?

A note to myself. Never trade DAX during or right before London open. You'll thank yourself later on. too much going on right at the open. Instead wait it out until an hour after its open, usually by then at least on 10min a direction should be ...

there it went up without me. 10min 200ema. lesson learnt. never trade DAX on London opens. don't think I can handle the pros at the exchanges. trade an hour into London open provided that there's a clean signal. sorry for hijacking your thread.

"they start figuring it out for themselves" this is pure gold. Hopefully before they flush out all their savings and determination down the toilet. My bit of advice for any struggling traders including myself try trading DAX an hour after its open, ...

I haven't heard any psychic becoming a profitable trader. So you're probably right with probabilistic thinking kicking in after years of screen time and burn outs. As for system, its hard to go by once this crosses above or below and after that or ...

DAX has been a real "bitch" since London open. Why did I attempt so many entries ?? At first at Frankfurt open it seemed to want to push lower then London comes it tried once only to float back again above 12127 area. PA looks messed up, although my ...

Cat has shared tremendous amount of information on this thread, if only we were disciplined enough we all would have been profitable traders by now. But unfortunately to learn to trade consistently is not as simple as copying someones method from A ...

Things don't look too good for the bulls. Bulls are hesitant to push it higher. But bears shouldn't be too happy too early. On 30min price is sitting just above 200ema no divergence. It's going to be a tough battle for the bears to push it below ...

I'll have to see if we're going to get a big fat green candle at 12254 or 12261 (15m 20ema) area before establishing any long position on 3min.

I shouldn't be trading until London opens. But nevertheless here's a trade I took and closed just now barely at BE. My bias for DAX is up. However I expect 1h 200ema to provide a resistance but we never know London may take it up through the roof. I ...

CADJPY short in I know I"m 30minutes early. But setup looked good on 12h anyway so I decided to make an entry prior to the CPI and retail sales release. This time around I think my TP is located at a fairly good area.

I've been active on baby pips since the beginning of my trading journey and have made the jump over to ff a year and a half ago. Babypips does have some pretty decent material written by the bloggers if you're into fundamentals and want to get to ...

EURCAD long out +60pips If I had placed my SL at 1.4675 it would be 80pips. I'm not regretting over pips I could have made but trying to figure out optimal points for take profit. I think I'm getting it. If it proceeds to go up I'm sure I can always ...

I still haven't given up on CADJPY short just yet. It was just that my timing was a bit off. Tomorrow we've got two high impact announcements up on CAD. We'll see how things roll in the US session, I'll check my EURCAD long and CADJPY short first ...

EURCAD long TP1 1.47 TP2 1.48 I think I'm beginning to get a good grip on where I should take profit.

CADJPY short out at -10pips this was beginning to look bad. found support on 20ema, green candle with and upward tail. I admit my entry was a little too early on this. Next time you're picking tops be sure to enter as it closes to the 20ema.

CADJPY short still running its been flat for the last 38hours I have no logical reason to close or make any amends to this trade so I'm keeping it going until it either hits my SL or TP. I'm just taking a look at GJ short that I briefly mentioned on ...

I see that you changed the requirement for posting you see I'm not a jetsetter, I barely survive < low impact yellow flag > in all seriousness though. I guess no matter how long we've played the field when money is at stake we mess up. I'm ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) Give me your money

CADJPY short is still going 25hours in. I'm working on it, patience & discipline. BOJ statement is due I think tomorrow. I'll hold it through unless otherwise the PA looks bad afterwards. Look at GJ and NJ, so its worth holding your already ...
