Shorting the Pound and Euro here didn't feel great either. I'd much rather it violate a well tested level. But I look at what happened to the yen, and think perhaps these too don't have much longer to live, so to speak.

Long 1.2282 usdcad. Doesn't feel that great but the trend is up strong and that's the first pullback.

Short Euro 1.1966, GBP 1.3516, Aussie .7981.

Ok. Right now I'm having a Toyota Camry moment. Which means I'm ready to give up my Mercedes diesel addiction. Well, there's always hope.

Out flat at 1.1938. The hourly still looks good short, but the shorter tf looks like it still wants to correct. I'll wait.

That's pretty cool. Isn't that what math is? An attempt to model reality?

It is USD index in forex. Thanks I'll check out Ben. I could be more disciplined about posting, but it's a start. As far as getting mad at your self for being undisciplined, yeah we've all done that. But I still say it's about trying to head it off at the pass before it gets there. And obviously...

Short EUR 1.1936.

I highly recommend you post your trades. When I put them up for everyone else to see, it seems to take some of the emotional energy out of it. Plus it's a way of being responsible, accountable. I try to post most of my stuff in another thread here, and I get feedback from another insightful...

Flat. Nice trading day. Or really just 2 1/2 hours. Wasn't looking for much of a trend, so I'll take what I got, which was good. Euro was stuck to that 1.1950 level for awhile. We'll see if it gets revisited.

Out of mostly everything. Still holding little bit of AUD, EUR short. GBP is really fun to trade when it's not smacking you in the face. Haha.

Maybe you could look at it like I try to-- if I'm in a position and I feel anger rising up, maybe I'm not supposed to be in that position. I truly believe that my innermost self knows what's best for me. It's trying to tell me something if I'll only listen. You can substitute the word universe...

Been short everything against USD since 930 NY time. Caught some of the move down in GBP. Still holding AUD, Cad, Euro, GBP short. Looking for the next push to exit.

What I would say is that anger has a positive purpose, just like all of the emotions. If someone comes in the house and tries to eat my lunch, I'm not going to like it. If the market tries to take my lunch, it's different. I put on the trade knowing it might not work. Big difference.

Hmmm. Going to think about that one. I tend to agree with the part about having emotions and not controlling them. I just find that acting on anger creates more anger. Not useful. I've noticed that I'm just not as angry as I used to be. Mostly it's because I have taken responsibility for my...

I still say the all time winner is Bobby Knight throwing the chair. I just watched the video on YouTube, and I must say I feel better afterwards. He was much more deliberate than I remember. His team was getting shafted, so he did something. I know in baseball the umpires will say that they can...

The market is a really expensive place to find out who you really are. Till then you get to play out your drama over and over.

Look, I've been reading your posts. You probably ought to consider stopping trading. It just doesn't work that way. Even if you are profitable now, you'll probably sabotage yourself or already do. There's conflict here, written on the walls of ET.

I gave up beer and crack. Does that count?

And as that great trading educator, Neil Young, said, "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World."
