Had to adjust some setups for higher volatility and add criteria for when it is higher volatility. Seemed to work better. Some discipline problems, but moneywise about be last week.

Been battling and still battling some of the same issues as the OP. Lots of valuable advice in this thread from the more experienced traders. My take on this challenge: The OP perceives the problem as not letting winners run. Now it needs to be clearly defined: When should winners run...

Great thread! Reminds me of the good old: "5-10% profit per day trading crude" thread.

Selling services to Pumas. Have to make some sacrifices if you wanna make it.

Real bad week. Was forced back to SIM after taking 2 stops both Monday and Tuesday. Week total -30 fesx pts. It seems that especially after doing good for 2 weeks I gradually get so excited and obsessed with the charts I cant execute a single trade according to plan. Gonna implement some...

Dude. RTFM!

Yeah, I guess thats the case with most consistent traders. Probably thats the way it has to be.

Depressing. Of the listed sites above I could not find a single one by a real trading trader.

Thanks for the great posts! Truly inspirational. Sometimes I catch myself drifting to the thinking that this trading is just a game where some schmucks make money selling snake oil, but posts like those are a good reminder that there are really specialists mastering the game. BR, Ss

Very good thread, believe I learned a lot. Thanks to all contributors!
