LOSING traders - How much money and time have you lost?

Quote from Airwaves:

I've tried most timeframes over the years, and trading using levels from hourly charts, and signal from 5 and 15min charts gave me the *best* results, although obviously not good enough!!

Trading FX, or futures for that matter, using 4 hour charts is like crossing a quiet road without looking left and right first, ... using 5 minute charts is like standing in the middle of the german autobahn pondering the meaning of life. Both will kill you.

Still better than patiently wating for a car and trying to run across the road right in front of it.

What is YOUR 'story' out of interest?
I take it you dont trade?

Thanks

started around the time of the market 23% or so one-day collapse on 10/19/87. Made $5,000 that day and got hooked.

So you do trade?
I was under the impression that you were very anti-trading for some reason! lol. Must have mixed up your posts with someone else.

Its like the market can tell at what point my account will blow and aims for it and then reverses! lol. Am I the unluckiest person in the world or does this happen to all losing traders (particularly your blowout point marking a swing low/high)
Its happened everytime! Lets see if 1.4800 or so marks a decent low.

up 330 pips now since my initial post

Thinking about it, the fact that my forced stop out always marks a swing high/low to about the PIP can only be very very bad luck on my part. Annoying. It rubs salt in the wound.

Airwaves,
the market chases you. It tries to get your money. It seems right and ordered, but when you step in it turns around. How it is possible. Is there anybody behind this? What is the solution for that?

Lets just say Traderzones tells it pretty much how it is on trading. Do a search.

All the Best
John

Had the market kept falling like a brick, would you feel better about taking the stop?
