    Eur/USD

    Well, I'm not an expert on Forex, and I would never claim to be, but anyone notice the trend breakdown on EUR/USD? Again, not good at this Forex stuff, but was messing around on demo. I decided to short. I'll see if a breakdown of support occurs. I am on DEMO, but just testing a few...

    Any ideas?

    I personally don't know how much more I could suggest. The rest I think you'll have to figure out on your own. You have to figure out a way to be calm with your trades. Trading can be as simple or as complex as you make it. You say your system is simple and you have proven to yourself it...

    Any ideas?

    Do you scale in or out of your positions? I think you fear having your whole position going against you. Why not instead of putting it all in at once, scale in as the trade gets better, and scale out when things are getting rough. If you already do this, then.... I'm not sure... but I'd...

    Any ideas?

    Well if you already read Trading in the Zone, I would assume some more experience will help you to show you there is nothing to be worrying about. In that case, don't worry about the money, just worry about your performance. Don't think about $$$ think about percentages. Do you set a goal...

    Any ideas?

    Well it's been about a year for me as well.... so you should be happy your still here. Some say it takes several years to do this, so keep it up. I believe I have difficulty accepting success sometimes, it is more than likely because of where I come from, and the fact no one around me...

    Any ideas?

    I think I could personally say this is not true. I am currently testing systems for longer term approach later on. I love scalping, but I know as I continue to better myself, that my scalping will handle the business, that I can put in some long term investments with options, which is why I'm...

    Any ideas?

    How long have you been trading for? I still feel pressure on me when I'm in trades. If we could trade without a worry in the world, it would be paradise. If you are making money, and you have experience, and know your system works, naturally with time the fear should go away. Unless...

    Any ideas?

    You just have to adapt, change yourself. Take it without thinking about it. Remove the emotions from trading. I'm sure that there are plenty of pro's better than I that will tell you they needed to take themselves out of the trade, and trade their system, and execute when they know they...

    Any ideas?

    But, your system works, so, just accept the fact that losers are a part of this game, and that your winners will beat your losers. Are you undercapitalized? Trade the smallest size possible until this is not an issue, take every trade no matter what, and follow the rules. Prove to...

    Any ideas?

    Exactly, embrace loosing trades, punishment for trades you fail to take that you know you should/would/could have.

    Any ideas?

    Sounds like you got it made my man, check out the Mark Douglas book, study up on trader psychology. You already know your system works, you have to find a way to make yourself confident in your system. For example.... I have rules set, and I remember when I fail to take a trade, I write...

    Any ideas?

    Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas That is a suggested reading that changed the way I traded. I too was afraid to pull the trigger.... That book changed me, it doesn't matter how it did it, but whatever it did, or whatever it made me realize, it did it. So there ya go.

    What will you do if you don't succeed in trading?

    In all fairness though ... Steve, you are a successful trader. So your opinion is of one who will continue to do this for a long time, and it is easy to say you could easily switch to a new career, but, I must say, I don't think it would be a picnic to do that. Although it isn't homeless...

    What will you do if you don't succeed in trading?

    2 pages, table of contents and the other page that reads "Don't do anything I say" Sweet, easily worth 50 bucks.

    Pictures of your trading stations

    Sweet. That will probably be the same look of my setup, except without the widescreen in a few weeks. I like the painting/picture on the wall, where did you get it at? Too bad the pic is too dark to really see it. The girl.... well I'm always viewing my wallpaper/desktop, during trading...

    What will you do if you don't succeed in trading?

    It's a risk we all take, if you are not willing to take that risk, you shouldn't be trading. It's anyone that tries to be self employed, they risk everything to do it on their own. It's risks we take for rewards, sometimes it doesn't work out. If you spend several years at trading, to...

    Is my career over?

    IB reminds me of Etrade in its early days

    I wish I could tell you nononsense, but lately, it seems majority of threads I participate in, I have someone waiting to pounce on me, the personal harassment and e-mails and im's on instant messaging programs practically forced me to change everything. I unfortunately can't change my ET...
