    "The only way to trade with Fibonaccis" journal

    1a Fib considerations aside, have you considered shifting the entries up from 38/50/62 with a 100 stop to something like 40/60/80 with a 110 stop? We all know that the ES has its goodly share of pickpockets and quite often I've found that if price pierces, but doesn't close, a swing H/L then...

    Is this the reason why so many fail?

    To think differently is to think differently. Nothing more, nothing less, neither correct nor incorrect. Do I need to know why new grass will grow in place of old grass? No. Do you believe it is worthwhile to understand the reason for everything? If you do, that is fine and I'm happy to...

    Is this the reason why so many fail?

    With all due respect,I believe the main reason that the majority fail is that they think they can predict the future. Well, can you predict what your next thought will be? Neither can I! So,with the exception of those that can move or manipulate the market, it's probably smarter to begin from...

    Airwaves

    Basically, what I hear you saying is that you believe your experience (which in this case you'd likely label as bad, frustrating or unwanted) is the truth as you know it and saying or thinking otherwise is unhelpful or dishonest. I'd certainly agree that mindlessly repeating words or mantras...

    Airwaves

    Good luck with the journal and with your trading. Regarding the comments below, even though everyone on this forum recognizes you were joking, your subconscious mind does not take a joke. Words are powerful. A fellow trader put me straight about this in no uncertain terms so hopefully you...

    Newsflash: Euro SOARS vs Dollar. (Really? 0.2% is soaring?)

    The headline was valid initially. It's just a case of journalistic lazyness - probably the sub-editor (the one that comes up with catchy headlines) took off to watch the ball game. Anyway, Soars sells better than flops....... JMO

    Bizzare - and if you believe it, most think you are a crackpot

    The journalist Tors Norretranders (sp?) in his book The User Illusion cites numerous experiments which indicate that the human mind is conscious of between 15 to 60 bits of information per second out of millions. Bottom line is we're totally clueless over whats really going on. I know that's...

    Is this the reason why so many fail?

    A couple of weeks back a real nice lady came to me for advice as she was preparing to open an account to trade part-time with the intention of eventually going full time. Her start up equity was $5K and her expectations were sky high. Now, how do you politely tell someone that they probably...
