Disliked{quote} It looks like you are @ my predicted equity. Today I got two new numbers: 178k before 123k ... in 1 month? or maybe sooner. 178k is just to get a little more trading taste and confidence. I am writing it just because I think that you can cheat with those numbers, it is only up to you! I have nothing with you, somehow you came in my path, can't explain ... it is simply happening.Ignored
DislikedWeek in Review: On Wednesday in the NY session I made $2500 quickly (and was having another great first half of the month just like September) but then instead of closing my platform and enjoying the day I took just one more trade, then spiraled into oblivion the next three days, "planning" to make it all back in the N government announcement. I was up $3k when that trade reversed on A news, then it just kept going and I sat there still in a disbelieving fog, thinking it was just the A news--but it wasn't and the trade kept running against me until...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hey Dwe, how is it with your overtrading? I am struggling myself a little, is it better by now? Its great to so you so honest about it...keep the journal coming, i like to read it, cheersIgnored
Disliked{quote} Thanks for your kind words. I like to have all my trades closed my London close, and aim to have each day be profitable. My biggest challenges now are not trying to be too smart and out-guessing the market. For example, yesterday US pre-stock market trading was down 2%. I bought JPY, expecting it to strengthen--which it did during the stock market opening, and the stocks reversed and ended way higher. While I was holding onto increasing losses I KEPT EXPECTING JPYs to strengthen. Lesson learned--watch the charts, and only the charts. Another...Ignored
Disliked{quote} I have a little the same as you, i try not to predict and analyse too much, and trade what i see, like breaking s/r or divergence break of tl for a couple pips counter trend, i set alarm close to this zones and only enter after confirmation. After 3 losses i am out, and try to do max 6 trades a day so i am more picky. Also i increased my risk to 1 to 2 % this all helps me a little. I try to keep it simple....but greed or fear is a bad thing , iam improving now, so thats good, hope you will do too, cheersIgnored
Disliked{quote} Sounds like a good plan. I've been trading daily baskets (looking for strong/weak pairs and S/R), dumping poorly performing trades, and adding good trades, and trying to hold them until a technical exit (but usually, I get impatient and exit early on the good trades, and hold the losers too long.)Ignored
Disliked{quote} Do you use range bars? The moment i changed i improved my entry,s.so my next task was overtrading and exit, still working on it, but i am pretty new to forex so i am still patient. I hope you improve on your own difficulties and become an independent trader with steady performance. I hope soon i will make my own journal after finding the best software. Have a nice day and good luckIgnored
Disliked{quote} No, my platform does not have range bars, and I don't like MT4. I tried bricks but did not like that they hid too much price movement information. I'm glad that you're finding what works well for you!Ignored
Disliked{quote} I also dont like mt4, i like ctrader but no rangebars, so i am with jforex, and waiting for ctrader to add them. They say soon they will, wich platform u use?Ignored
