There are so many weird and abstract views across the forums and the world, (in comparison to my own take on everything' that is). The bottom line is it doesn't pay to listen to anyone other than yourself, the main reason being that everyone wants ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

The cbg thread seems to be struggling I noticed, and he seems to bear all the classic symptoms of losing his disciplines and direction. I think this bears out what I've always said about grid-type systems, and particularly when an IB is the main ...

My first EG position has triggered now on daily chart. This trade (and any add-ons that I may make during the process) has the makings of a long duration set-up based upon where tap currently is, and patience needs to be exercised. As usual, I ...

Well, no sooner had I posted the above, that it took off very nicely. Closed out +120...not a bad days work at all.

Trading Journal (only my take)

The trait of most traders (budding or otherwise) is that they don't trust themselves, let alone anyone else, and most of that can be attributed to all the bs found right across forums like FF, where complexity and confusion reigns as a result. ...

One of my GU orders has triggered, but still not much market interest in general, the big boys haven't done much this week so far, and it will be only the scalping traders I'd expect who are involved for now. The good news for me is that tardy ...

GU not yet triggered for me....it's been pretty quiet on most markets so far this week generally, with no money being moved about thus far. Patience as always is the key, especially when price is in the doldrums, and those kinds of conditions makes ...

GU is closing in on my trigger points with tap already in place.

Trading Journal (only my take)

A lot of traders talk about trend and c/t. I wonder whether they have stopped to think through what they say half the time, because if they did, then they'd realise that what they call a counter-trend trade for example is often no more than a ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

The forum is littered with threads showing unbeatable methods. A new one seems to crop up on a daily basis. No one ever loses...that's a laugh for starters. It just goes to show that well over 90% of posted trades are FT's which I've referred to as ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

OK..let's assume for the purposes of this discussion at least, that hyperthetically you are a successful trader. My question was does it pay to reveal the details of how you are successful, and I'd argue that in general it is counter-productive to ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

The fact is, that those few who know how to successfully trade, actually rely on the multitude who don't know how to trade, because the right trading levels then become better positioned to exploit once the herd have helped. All things considered, ...

Anyone with comprehension limitations should refrain from posting here.

I have outlined cause and effect... tap is my solution. You need to read the whole context to get the full picture. Then apply whatever you personally need to take a high probability trade.

Trading Journal (only my take)

Banks manoeuvre the market. As traders, we don't know for sure what their real intention is or more importantly, when!. They want best price obviously, and they have the means to get the "herd" to follow their moves. The vast majority will do ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

What's that to do with what I've said?....it's a different topic!

Trading Journal (only my take)

Many people tend to go through their decision making processes without enough thought applied to the what-if situations. This happens in all the decision instances btw, and they are obviously wide and varied in number, which is yet another reason ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Looking through some of the threads, it never ceases to amaze me how the simplest parts of trading are made incredibly difficult for the majority by over-complication. Just know the current swing bias, and if price doesn't retrace more than 30% (as ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I understand. The main thing is that your current method of entry and management is definitely an improvement to your recent experiment let's say. Time will tell as always whether you are able to both persevere and improve upon it where needed.

Trading Journal (only my take)

I'm pleased to see that you now appear to have completely abandoned the negative grid position system that you were pursuing in the cbg thread and all the complexities and stress that that style inevitably creates which I outlined previously, and I ...
