Amen!!

Not sure what "OTOH" means, but, yes, I was(doing lousy while adjusting to being on view), it took about a week of adjustment to get back within "normal".

Still not me. Suggest you you use less energy on being a cynic, and join us for a while to honestly evaluate things. It distresses me to see how many people in this world have such negative expectations. As I believe humanity's combined beliefs actually determine the course of events.

Just a guy who has committed the last 8 years to succeeding at trading and has been fortunate enough to stumble a great system that produces consistent income with very little drawdown, and thought I might be of help to others by letting them look on to gain an understanding of a few key...

Thank God, it seems since my last post, I have gotten past the ego issue and back to a disciplined execution of the system. It feels good to be back, but I really need more than a few days to trust that I am over all the "issues" that plagued me in the outset.

Thank you for your input. Actually I have no problem "losing" per say, I have a some losing trades every day. I'm just not used to large uncontrolled losses I had while first getting myself emotionally set to deal with being on view, so to speak. Than God, I seem to have gotten past the...

Sure way to end up with drinks and no $$. Right system, managed properly with exceptional discipline can turn 2K into big $$ in a shorter time than most people believe. A bit of good "karma" the first couple trades wouldn't hurt either, but it's 98% you and maybe 2% "karma" (which you...

The month is not over, and it seems I am getting back into the rhythm even with guests looking on. I'll let you know at the end of the month how it turns out, or PM me to tune in and see for yourself.

I use the pattern of the overnight market as a key. I also use the most recent overnight hi +0.50 and low -0.50 as buy and sell stops on the opening. On mornings like today - there was an hour of narrow congestion before the open (SP) so i used once the market opened above the congestion, I...

Denise, a winning system and discipline to follow it are 99.99999% of the winning combination (no idea about the other 0.000001% - but most things are not 100%) So my guess is if it worked 5 years ago it still works! I think there are many failures today because they have too much info, a...

My guess is that those who trade from their "gut" go broke a lot.

I found it worked best for me to backtest until I found a profit target that was achievable at least twice as often as my stop loss. Though they start out about equal, I tighten the stop during the trade progress, while the exit remains the same, resulting in a "real" risk reward of only...

For me it going for 1.25 to 1.75 S&P (actually ES - but I use the SP chart) points that are not standard trades in my system, but based on an indicator failure and or a likely move off a trending MA. As I don't often return to see reply posts, PM me if you'd like more info. Best of luck

You have no idea how true this is proving to be see the thread "Trauma Of "you're Invited"

Viewing my trades and trade management realtime on the net.

Thank you, but it gets more difficult to continue each day as my personal account has suffered greatly during this project. I have yet been unable to defeat the "monster within" that seems to mysteriously take over during trading day. My determination my have to give way to economic good...

My goal was to be of help by having others experience a period of successful trade management. I felt that during the time they would learn to recognize that many trades needed to be held during difficult periods in order to ultimately reach a successful target. Additionally, I hoped that they...

I discovered the painful costly way that it's a lot easier to trade alone than have people watching you while you trade. I never dreamed there would be such a psychological impact of knowing your actions are effecting other's and that you are being "evaluated" by a review board on every move...

"Reality" is whatever you've been programmed to believe it is. True "reality" is seldom, if ever, experienced by the human mind. Every moment is screened, evaluated, judged, and colored by our previous experiences and secretly held beliefs. I say "secretly held" because most of are...
