That is how we get paid for our past expieriences. In a way, that our "double time pay" At certain times you gotta play some size and let it happen.

I get your piont - to an extent too. Let "try to" make some money!!!!:)

I didn't mean to be rude. So don't interpret that way. My point is that the settings of the indicators are the least important part of being a successful trader. That's like asking the Superbowl champions which color uniforms they wear. And when they answer, "blue"... you then think...

Worry about more important things. There is much more to learn from this besides the specific settings of the indicators.

You can make a "bundle" shining shoes if you're disciplined.

Hello Benysl, Since this thread is entitled, "How can I be disciplined?" I just want to let you know that you can never, under any circumstances let that happen. That's one of the many things that separates the amateurs from the professionals. If you know, in your heart and mind, that...

Jake, I agree 100%. When I'm having a difficult time in the markets, I put restrictions on myself and I slow right down... to a snail's pace. That helps clear my mind and build confidence without putting myself in a dangerous situation. gotta_trade

Yes, but I also confirm/filter it by using a higher time frame. But, if you are not using a higher timeframe, stick to the strategy that a one minute chart gets you in, and a one minute chart gets you out.

The Total P&L is the running total of exactly how much I have made or lost since I started the journal. Hope I answered your question, gotta_trade

Does the Florida Keys have that crystal clear water? That's one of the best things about the Bahamas.

I'm not familiar with that exact method. But, it similar to one of my daytrading strategies. And with the proper discipline you will have an edge. (but then again, you can probably say that with any strategy)

I don't care for that one as much. Market is too quiet for me right now. (mid-day trading is tough without much force or conviction in the market)

That was a very nice trade. That was a "text book" trade for a divergence.

visiontrader, Can you basically describe the method? Thanks
