I've been using a system that defines support/resistance very well. APA Zones. Highlights areas of interest that price has visited and gives indicators as to their strength or weakness.

Yes Diego, even Sim trading is dif than paper trading. Handling the psych. of trading was the hardest for me. What I've heard over and over the past two years is find a trading model and an instrument and stick with it. Also finding a trading community that you can go to for advice and input has...

Yes, thank you for the input. The "random and uncertain" aspect could be said about LIFE in general. Hahahah. Amazing how much trading has related to who I am and what I do. Gut wrenching at times and glorious at others. Can't let those candles dictate to me nor the storms life throws at me...
