My worst since early December when I lost about 10% of my account in a week (about £12k at the time).

Damn, hope you get back on track...

Yes a tough week, made some and gave back some to just over break-even....

You using IB Porph?
 
its not about 'getting back on track' in my opinion. Porph is a quality trader. He'll be just fine. You cant win em all. I am now in contact with an AMAZING trader who has been making about $5k per day for the last 20 odd years! Ive seen their house and cars etc and know that its genuine. He told me that losing days are to be expected. Even the occasional losing week, but that if you start having bad months then you need to reaccess your trading.

Absolutely,
Me at a breakeven week this week, made some gains but tend to lose it all by end of day.... :( tryna find out what the problem is ...
 
Yeh at the end of the day its about the long term whether that be your monthly, yearly, 5 yearly etc...

I'm still 80% up for the month which is way, way in excess of any expectations.

The reason I've been losing this week - lack of discipline!

Nice :P, good work P, very impressive,
Lack of discipline fkd me up this week,,, at least just over breakeven :P
 
Im looking at oil and i like the idea of buying at 41.26 if we get a quick dip, with target of 42.86

However oil is only up cos gasoline is up nearly 6% and heating oil is up nearly 3%.

Dow is down nearly 200points though and dollar stronger, and so i personally wouldnt risk buying oil today as itts too risky.




P.S For the pricks who are saying that ''ive lost money because my style of trading and that i didnt adapt to recent conditons...

Im not sure if you have actually looked at my trades and actually looked at them in correlation to the chart,
but NONE of them, not 1, didnt at 1point clear into profit at 1point. (cleared 12ticks).

And ive made maybe 160trades over the last 4months, all with set stoplosses and set targets.


In these 4months only 2 trades out of those 160 would have actually hit the stoploss before hitting the target!!


The 1 and only reason that i have lost 597ticks this month is becuase since the new year i started trying to be cautious,
and so started taking losses, even when it was very likely that it was near the worst time it would get, i took the losses eachtime to be cautious.

(None of them was actually nesesary to be taken though, if i had enough capital to not be in fear then i wouldnt have been scared into taking them, would instead of been abel to hold them for a few hours longer,
and would be up just over £26,000profit for this month!!)



But i got cautious, knew i had extremely little capital that i cant afford to lose, and so did the cautious thing of taking losses instead of holding out,
and lost money as a result.




Just because i am under financial situations that dont allow me to trade properly and take sufficient risk,
it has nothing to do with my technical analysis skills and daily market analysis and calls.


Im not gna get into a big argument on here with anyone,
but if my daily technical analysis is so shit then why do so many people keep coming on here everyday to view it and follow it??!


And why is it that me, the guy who is crap at trading,
is the 1 who does 90% of technical analysis everynight for the nextday, which has been accurate eachday..,

But why is it that the people who are now the traidng masters of the world, and who are going to be millionaires in a few months at the rate they calim to be going NEVER EVER EVER post even 1 live trade call or give their tech analysis in advance??? :eek: :D :p :mad:

nicely done mate.. :)
 
The next trade i will be taking is i want to see oil fall down from here to the 39.26 level.


That is the strongest support there is untill 26.86.


And especially when coming dwon form 49 t 39 straight line in 3days,
i would be interested in buying down there if it forms an bottom and reversal formation.
