Guys, thank all of you for getting me advice. This is very cute that you try to help me, I'm sorry but I don't need your support when you recommend to be more concentrated or patient. I know what to do and how to do. I would like to develop my range of making decisions why I ask what kind of...

Guys, thank you very much for your thoughts, I wanted to know what do you use in your making decisions (which data, options est) and what I found: 1) Just few people showed or hinted how they trade and what they use. 2) The others adviced me to use some obvious (but not always exactly correct)...

Thank you for answer. I agree with your opinion. Trend Following system (especially when we don't have particular Take profit) always show better results than trading in range because length of price movements in trends mostly much bigger than in range. Using any indicators (like MA, levels...

Thank you for message. Profit Factor, Kelly percentage est are just methods how to check some options of strategy. Kelly percentage might develop final results in case of good management of size and risks. But they are no able to make strategy profitable if it is not. Or I lost something?

Thank you for advice. I compare with ATR to understand volatility and avoid of not accurate SL. I didn't say that my strategy doesn't work but I'm looking for new ideas. And tested a lot of examples I found that having small SL is worse for executions and final result in comparison with bigger...

We don't exactly know when new rally starts (sure we can use some patterns for identification of probability of starting new rally). Also we can't exactly know that rally which we joined still will go on. So this is talk about probability of "working" some patterns. And statistics of ATR of...

Perhaps you are right. My experience and approaches makes me blind sometimes on some obvious stuff. But on your opinion what is work statistically?

This is very old rule doesn't work correctly nowadays. Markets become more and more open so it tends to be more and more efficients. Small stop losses give much worse results in back testing intraday and swing movements in comparison sith big. I mean big and small in comparison with average ATR.

Thanks for your comment. I agree with you for the main basis. Especially: the devil is in the details. But if you don't mind what kind of idea you trade? I tested so many ideas and found a few which I trade now. But now I have lack of ideas which I can test. I tried to check how the other people...

You answered as politician :)

It depends on the logic of startegy. 1) If you have conditions like: I will open only long from ... with stop loss 15 pips, the same results might be if you trade in opposite direction. Not because incoreect direaction, but incorect SL (to big or to small). 2) If you tested not a...

Right now we have so many influences on price behaviour of any instruments. And there are no the one important impact, but there are a lot of minor. 1. We can't say that the most popular indicators work good because they are mostly late or hurry up. Combination of various indicators just...

My opinion that it very good to have coach or mentor in any business. And comparing with sport any good sportsman has not only one coach but the team which support him. It's very good to have mentor in business who could explain you some unwritten rules and nuances. But trading attracts a lot...

I guess there is some border after in losing money after which people lose their rational mind. LIke "tilt" in poker, like knockdown in boxing, after people can't make rational decision. Losing to much or to quickly might launch in your head some mechanisms when we can control ourself. There is...

I started read of Maxwell Maltz. But he used anoutehr word for explaining. But you are right tecniques are similar, but I liked his basis idea.

I found that for some people it very easy to do it. Usually if they have done some continuous actions for a long time: as have practiced sport, studying, dancing est. They used to be disciplined by routing work. We can train our discipline in the same way as we can train our muscles.

Thank you for Psycho cybernetics. I read a lot of book in this field but haven't known with this work. Yesterday have started to read and found that some ideas are very useful.

What alse I understood that we should not fight with our emotions. There are very good work on this topic in Kelly MacGonical: http://kellymcgonigal.com/books
