I trade predominantly for "Freedom of Time" and to be self directed in my career which earns income. No Boss - No Thank You!

Not at all...it is way more dynamic then you show as an example. When you learn about yourself and start to change the way you think, it is not just about positive thinking at all. It is about making all of your thoughts and actions efficient to what you are trying to accomplish in trading...

The book is awesome...you would have to read it to see why (which it is very obvious you have never done). This is by far the best book for a trader to read to have a very positive and immediate impact on their trading and overall trading objectives....bar none imo. For instance, "Trading...

Sure.. http://www.amazon.com/Law-Attraction-Science-Attracting-More/dp/0446199745/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-4801201-1704636?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188922363&sr=1-1 . To be very successful at trading you have to control WHAT you focus on everyday. What are your Micro goals that are feeding your Macro...

OK....if you need to make more than a few billion, then do not scalp...do something else. No one has a "monopoly" on HOW to make profits in the markets.

Yes, I will send a book link by PM.

Good article..that was a good read..thanks.

So what type of strategies did you use to trade Eurex that you are now going to use in the Asian markets?

So what have you done this time to prepare your mind to trade (by far the most important part)? I would say to make sure you are psychologically ready first and then next make sure you have a proven backtested method. Start off trading again doing the right things - invest in your mind and...

insaneinvestor, Use the Stoch for signal entry set-up (catching the price cycles) and the MACD for entry confirmations. I trade the felton trading method with faster than standard Stoch and MACD settings..works very well imo.

You have to optimize your methods entry or exit to increase reward to risk for a scalper without deteriorating your win to loss ratio..that is the puzzle.

My system is automated for 1:1 and is very robust..I am now working on the addition of trailing stop programming in accordance with my defined rules for trailing (this part will take some time). I have hit pay dirt with this system..makes all the time spent developing worth every second.

ssss, win to loss ratio has a lot to do with how I set my targets and stops..important part of setting a R to R ratio for each trade during initial backtesting. what I trade has a good R to R ratio and that is very important to me.

Even better..acv ratio (as price trades to size) with a Stochastic signal confirmed for entry by a MACD trigger..works extremely well.

The acv ratio is the only part of the DOM that I pay attention to and it can enhance good entry points imo. If I have one of my macd/stoch signals that aligns with a acv ratio around 2 to 1 on the DOM, then I try to let these trades run. I have found price direction or intraday trend changes...

I enter all of my trades with a pre-set 1:1 R to R ratio with the profit target and stop bracket entered right at entry as the order gets filled. If I have immediate confirmation of the move after entry, with my very defined rules, I will initiate a trailing stop that rides the move until...

The market almost never beats YOU, you most always let the market beat yourself.

Giving out the method does not include giving out the MINDSET that needs to go with it. The mindset is the key, and that is a personal journey that is not possible to transfer easily. :) There, I just gave out the secret :D thesecrettrader

This behavior is all a by product of your internal fears. Until you know yourself you will not be able to change your way of thinking, thus you will remain trapped in unprofitable actions.
