Ooops I did it again

Arggg, angry angry angry with myself. I did it again, lost pips because I was influenced by other people's opinions.

Sometimes gems can be found on public forums. But no matter how reputable others are, it's my own judgement that matters. I did well, even when I was against the opinion of the person I respect, but I was subtly drawn into other people's mindset. I trapped myself again. The scary part is, I didn't realize it.

Booked my biggest lost ytd, thankfully my P&L is still in + territory. A cheap price to pay for a painful reminder.

Just ranting....

It can't have been me, I rarely express my market bias or take notice of anyone else's for that very reason (well that and not wanting to look dumb if my analysis crashes and burns :) ), it can have me second guessing some perfectly good analysis of my own.

So come one, who was it :D
 
LOL it wasn't in this forum, its the other one famous for FX :D

No its not Jacko :D

Some pretty good stuff there, but I got too involved in the mumbo jumbo and tadaah....I tripped LOL. Their performance has been terrible for the past 2 weeks and I just sat there quietly and reap my pips, but this faithful day I fell into the dark side.

Feeling kind of silly after so many years of trading. Like most cult threads, the follower's consistency is questionable.

Anyway to each their own. I read somewhere you hit a rough patch or something ? and you are taking a break ?

Yep, a much needed break, I was making some really dumbass mistakes and missing some great opportunities, I guess it's a combination of boredom and complacency.

I hear you about trading forums, mind you sometimes there's some good analysis and ideas....just not very often :)
 
Indeed, such public forums made up a large part of what I have today. The filtration process can be tedious though.

Enjoy your break cable, you are probably just experiencing a "retracement".
