    Getting Past Blocks / Barriers

    Getting Past Blocks / Barriers I have come to the conclusion that one of the biggest problems I have in moving forward with my trading and probably non trading issues is finding methods to change my beliefs / ways of operating. I can easily identify areas in my trading which I want to...

    How to deal with the fear of getting into positions

    Think in samples of say 20/30 trades rather than worrying about the individual next entry. However good the next set up / entry is, there is always a possibility of it failing. Though if you have a proven edge, you should be up over a reasonable sample. If you are not, check your system...

    ACM is 5 pips on majors, not 3... (std accts)

    I see that AC Markets got a court ruling, this week, to let them dilute the Refco 51% stake to less than 25%. Anyone trading with them and has something positive to say !?
