Now get off my thread

Thanks mate

Thanks that was interesting. Don't worry I have no delusions about quitting the day job. Although that would be nice.

That idea doesn't appeal to me

I don't swing trade (although I am considering it as an alternative), I have one setup and it doesn't happen often so when it does I need to ride the trend until the cows come home. I guess that's position trading. I hear what you are saying, I will look into the options, have not traded them...

This thread has worked out awsomely so far, thanks to everyone who has posted.

Hey thanks for the advice. Yeah it was me who quoted Jesse (we're on a first name basis). As I said before I didn't take profit on a trade due to fundamentals, it was more a "what the fuck am I doing trading a longer term strategy when at any moment the stock market could melt down", which...

OK thanks, your posts have been interesting.

Well, even if I was suited: 1. 33 years old 2. limited capital 3. married with baby no 1. on the way 4. Mortgage got to be realistic.

Ha ha. Yeah thanks, I have always been quite practical like that. Still nothing wrong with making some money from the markets on the side.

very nice

Oh, and 3. system hopping. Although that's a potential transgression which has not been committed yet. Anymore? Talking a load of bs on trading forums?

I am assuming you need a trend to make that many pips OK will read your thread, although I have a full time job so M5's are a pipe dream for me.

But are 250 days of the year trend days?

And for the moment....my account is up :) But I won't be quitting the day job this lifetime bailing out of trades early.

That's fighting talk. OK lets see, 1. I didn't follow my plan and exited too early 2. I listened to the news Can you add to that?

No sure, you are right. But then most people on this site, I assume, are day trading (e.g. your M5 chart), trading D1's and W1's is about as exciting as librarians. I have a lot to think about.

Ha ha, yeah you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Thanks for all the replies. Regarding news...I didn't even know Microsoft was reporting until you mentioned. Maybe I should factor that in and tighten stops in this situation. Then again, and this may be naive, I like to think the people responsible for this pattern may have known somehow...

In my experience, the trend is up so I should just be holding my long position and looking for opportunities to add. If I was into interpreting what individual candles mean, then i guess that big doji could mean a correction or a sharp move up is imminent, but I am not. What do you think?
