Isn't that the objective, making big gains and small losses?

I don't know anything about trading forex. It's not something I do. What got you interested in trading if none of your friends or family are active? What is stopping you from getting them involved? I don't know any mentors. Use this forum. Post how you plan to make a trade, where and why you...

What have you learned in your three year journey? About the market you are trading (whatever that is) and about yourself?

Working out not bad. :)

Could be a while. Is it worth tying up your capital?

That was pretty good advice. Did you take it?

Now what?

Write out your plan. Get a friend or spouse to trade the plan while you watch. Hire a kid off the street if you haven't got a friend or spouse. The only thing you have control over in trading is you. If you can't control yourself then possibly you should let someone else look after your money.

Was the buy technical or fundamental?

I can't speak for anyone here but myself but I trade to support my lifestyle. I am well capitalized and don't need to make a million a year.

A short cut for losing money? You bet. Trade with a plan!! :)

Yeah I can see that. Looks like you got the consistent part going for you, you've been at it quite a while and still losing. So what ever it is you are doing isn't working!! Stop Doing It!! Do something you've never done before. The worse that can happen is that you lose money and you're doing...

Just giving you a hard time over a post a while back.

That's a lot of thinking for a guy who trades unemotionally.

I would doubt it. If your job is to trade the US markets you will be working on your countries holiday. Keep in mind on the days the US markets are closed, you have nothing to do if it's a regular workday in your country.

I use a chart scan engine (Stockcharts) That scans for set-ups that meet my criteria and risk reward parameters. For example on a pull back trade, if my planned entry is the prior days high, my stop is the prior days low and my initial target is the swing high. I want a 1 to 2 risk to reward. I...
