YES! I do all of that. I do this so I can watch myself closely as I evolve, and it helps me to see good and bad trends in what I do. I can see myself doing less of this in the future because I would not consider myself a man of deep trading ...

That is the way it goes - HOWEVER - let me say this, good setups are EASY to spot, the trouble you are having is that they are not there - be patient and think long term. What you are experiencing is wanting to trade (aka 'make money'). Beware of ...

USDJPY — Price is on a daily/Weekly PPZ and a 4hr PB is shaping up. With Divergence. Here is what my chart looks like - first trouble area is in gray. There is also a little sideways action too. Be wary. ..

What Joel and Mike shared with you is like lightning in a bottle. Money Management done properly will keep your from ruin and will allow you to compound your returns. So many traders figure the MM is n lots per $10,000 of capital. That is the fast ...

How to trade like a chump in one easy lesson — Some will disagree - feel free to do so. i won't lose sleep or money over it. I think it is instructive to look at a sub-par bar from time to time. CJ 4Hr. hey look - an outside bar (marked) Hey, ...

I am not in favor of micro managing a daily trade. I find it is a simpler matter to manage at the time frame you entered. Highly experienced traders might use multiple time frames, especially for entry. Personally, when we are approaching a critical ...

Ah - I remember that now. The park is really big. I'll keep the curry in mind! I can get around pretty easily in London, the Tube is excellent and the Cabbies are highly amused at the Yank jabbering endlessly in the back seat. Hey peeps - once ...

Hey - on one of the boundaries of the park, there is a covered bench - covered over with a very nice wood and stone thing - like a miniature bowl that a concert might be played in. What is that called? It is near to a pond where Swans float about. ...

Watching... — EURUSD.... Bust out with strong PA (an OB would be COOL) or Gimme Bearish PA... The only trade worthwhile on this pair in recent weeks came Friday. while I was jetting across the continent munching on crappy peanuts. No more chop ...

Today's trade — One trade only. I'll take these once a day for the rest of my life and be very happy. EURCAD on the 4hr. Out at the 365. Tastes great and less filling. Nice OB. Great size, at a swing low. Blew right past the trouble at 1.5550. ...

London has sunshine??? Never would have guessed. Been there more than a few times and seasons, and it is generally not... Last time the sun shined when I was there, I was in Hyde Park. Nice place. Fed some swans. Well, counselor, what makes ...

Hi Rik First - let me say I am glad you had this experience. Being up 16% for August was some fine work. Killing it off in one morning was superior. Now you know why it is stressed to be solidly profitable at least 3 to 6 months in demo - because if ...

Yes. But really, we are looking for the slam dunks. So if it makes pips, it makes pips. Lots of crap bars do. Congrats - you win the prize. Keep that kind of thing up and you'll be a raging success.

Here is a chart - the PB bar is not closed yet - another hour to go. But let's say it was closed. How would you rate the trade? What would you do with it? Would you take it? What do you expect it to do when it breaks? Disclaimer - this not a call to ...

The move to the old top had not finished and I see no resistance at 9250. A fib by itself is not very meaningful. The trade into this (which closed as I slept) was back with the trend as well. I did not take the trade down, as I did not have a 4hr ...

Hi WWT - Outside bars are played from extremes for best results. They can be played as continuation, but you gotta know the landscape price is moving into. In this case (see the chart) the BEOB is not really getting us past a zone, (PPZ's are zones, ...
