OK...a couple of days have elapsed on UC. No real move as such, which means I need do nothing in terms of managing the trade yet. I may add on if I see a retracement early next week, alternatively I will take 50% if the market hits 1.25200, and then ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Still just the 2 pairs in play at present, nothing significant has happened in the markets this week yet, sideways stuff only...of course the scalpers can capitalise on those things, but it's not for me for various reasons, it's often 1 win then 2 ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Following on a bit from previous, I will have 5 perhaps 6 of my planned pairs in play during this week and 1 perhaps 2 of those pairs may not work out...it's impossible to know which (if any) will fail out of my planned pairs. In any event, I am ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I have 2 pairs now in play where the pieces fit my criteria. A couple of others will no doubt follow soon enough I think. Here's a UC long I've just got involved in, nothing spectacular is likely to happen immediately, give it some time (which is ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Having the odds in our favour is the basic key to successful trading once certain rules have been applied, and of course those rules are different for each trader. For example, I have 6 pairs only at this point that fulfil my initial requirements ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Agreed, ref my comment earlier....everybody will find out the hard way..... Oscillators are always the perfect example of that more than anything else. How often do we see an oscillator indicating an ob or os level, but the market couldn't care ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Yes, you're quite right, back in those days I too fiddled about, and have never hid that fact, before I came to my senses and soon enough realised that TMS (TDI) etc was unnecessary. I am therefore an advertisement in that sense if you like in that ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A weeks gone by and not much appears to have been learnt across the threads. The same stuff, the same bullshitters..... bla bla bla. Why anybody would want to follow so much garbage is beyond me eg shadows etc...why would anyone need a damn ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I have had a great year and will continue with my proven method of directional bias and tap to find my entries. I don't like all the fancy coloured stuff on my charts which are nothing more than distractions to what should be focussed upon. I would ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

We have all the worlds bs merchants waffling for the world in one forum...FF...lol Everyone wasting time, everyone b/s one another. Competitions to see who's the best bullshitter etc bla bla bla. I mean what on earths that all about c'mon. A real ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Time away and nothing changes on FF. The same serial posters doing their utmost to convince the foolish that their way is best. Those foolish enough to take any kind of notice to the extended and repetitive waffling posts that these kind of odd ball ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A quick look about some of the threads and posts can be entertaining if nothing else lol. A common theme, usually most prevalent with the dreaded red flag army, is their self-righteous and arrogant trump-like attitudes with pumped up egos the size ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

The same ol same ol everywhere you look...nothing changes on FF. Just a whole bunch of kidders in the main. Everyone's a winner (not) hahaha. Cubbybbad is an exception to be fair...nice enough bloke, transparentish n all that, although given his ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

We all view charts differently to one another, placing our faith on something or other, and I'm certainly no different in that respect. The main difference is however, that I do not follow anyone's idea or suggestion of what the market may or may ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Cubbybbad....hmmm I'm not surprised if I'm honest, the writings been on the wall for a few months, and he will surely already know that. He failed to apply discipline, and became a gambler instead and has paid the price. Sympathy?...to a point, but ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I've just seen another journal where a couple of guys are arguing the toss regarding indicators and so called price action. Neither realise that an indicator (if used) should only be used sparingly to support a trading decision. Oscillators and the ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Some on FF do a whole lot of talking...mostly bs, designed to big themselves up and impress the morons who take note of all their crap. The big talkers will never post a live trade in real time, and always post stats instead, which is completely ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

So much bs today already lol. So called traders pretending to know, and who speak rubbish but actually know zip and who certainly do not trade for real. For example, some guy has just added a bunch of criss crosses for example....he has no idea what ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Decided to pop in after a couple of weeks away from the usual bs on all the threads. And, surprise surprise, still ongoing bs lol, nothing new, nothing original, nothing to grab my attention. People trying to impress one another either with crap ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I understand how you feel, and taking time out from FF to re-evaluate your own thinking is a good idea. As you already know, other people are actually the most likely reason for you losing focus and direction, and that in itself is a big lesson to ...
