I hope people will have enough sense and I will not have to do that and that THEY will start contributing in a positive way. I read many of ND's posts (it will take time to read all 9,000+ posts) and I appreciate her comments and offer to help me. I have developed my own system and most of...

Just played with some #s :) http://screencast.com/t/aZdxzqWfqds4

Thank you for your previous post (which was funny and you were too kind with you compliments), as well as this one. You found my secret. That is what I was doing but on a higher time frame so the losses were bigger. Actually, as I reworked my stats, Friday's losses were ~$750 lower than they...

It saddens me to see people who look at the struggles of others as entertainment (and seemingly derive pleasure from that). I guess those are the same people who are also jealous of the success of others. Nevertheless, I wish them all the best but they are not welcome in my house. Gabe

Thank you smallStops and slugar for your support. Years ago ET was notorious for a place where people are trashing each other. I really would not want this to happen here. If anyone is willing to contribute in a productive and polite way - you are welcome. Otherwise there is the proverbial...

You are a member of ET for over 12 years and have posted on average more than 3 posts a day all this time (over 15,000 posts in total). What was the purpose of that? It must be my charming personality. Have you been profitable from the 1st day that you started to post on ET? It is a...

That is the general idea. Regarding my trades on Friday I would say that all my entries were by my rules except for 1 where I missed the entry so I entered a few ticks away from my desired entry point. The problem was that I ignored S/R zones. Next week I will use a modified rule base. I...

I would say that I have only 1 system with several "if then" variants. Gabe

My entries and exits are strictly candle based. During the day I hardly notice that the MAs are there. I may take them off or use the shorter one to keep me in trades longer. The benefit is yet to be investigated. Gabe

Candle based. The MA's are there just to keep me in the right direction overall but sometimes I would go against them if the bar patterns tells me to. Gabe

1:04 is the exit time. Is this the one? At what time is the one to compare to? Gabe

These 2 trades?

Up until recently my ego WAS the problem. I don't like to be wrong in trading. That I knew for a long time and I admitted that early on. The problem was how to correct this. In other fields I have no problem. In areas not related to trading, if someone could provide compelling reasoning...

What am I looking for? Gabe

oops.

That's how I am. Some times I put my foot in my mouth :D but people always know what I think and where I stand. Some people may not like it but most appreciate it. If I would not be honest with myself I would be losing more than money. Gabe

Yes.

Yes.

I do leave a lot on the table. I am re-evaluating my strategy and next week I will implement some changes. Overall I believe I have a strategy with an edge and the problem is the part of my body that lies in between my ears. Gabe
