Morning Turtle, hope you're well. Yep, can't wait for the weekend. I have a fridge stocked with beer and i'm not afraid to use it

That's no problem, you're welcome to butt in anytime. It may not have appeared that way but I did understand exactly what he meant, I just don't entirely agree. Most jobs are soulless and mundane. There are a scant few lucky people who are fortunate ...

Hard luck mate, onwards and upwards.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Absolutely mate, the cost of doing business. Hopefully it shoots up though

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Not wishing to seem provocative here mate but you have suggested (I may be reading it poorly) that you use your trading income to prop up a business that would not be commercially viable if it were to operate in isolation. You then say that making ...

Morning bud. I'm flat probably for the next 15 mins at least, I don't really have a strong bias for the immediate short-term on EU but as you say, the bullish close and weak retrace does favour longs for now. Good luck with that trade

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

This much is evident. One question. Why are you proud of a business that needs income from something that you aren't proud of doing to keep it viable? Challenging juxtaposition that one.....

Stick around, we're brining this place back to life!

Me too mate, never really found an entry

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Big bullish close on the prev H4 candle on my feed so i'd still be pretty bullish on it.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

3 pips off the ADR in actual fact! I think you did the right thing in all honesty. It looks like a top for the day to me. You never do know but that's how it seems.

Hard luck on the other portion there. Cable's a rare old mess today eh?

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Just to add, the stark reality is that most people do have jobs that are mundane and dull but also boast terrible pay. For them, if they could make it as traders, that would be a significant improvement to their life. It also may allow them to go ...

One thing you would pass on

As I said before, there absolutely nothing at all wrong with that. We clearly have a different perspective on life though. I don't live to be proud of myself by the work I do and I certainly don't live for others to be proud of me either. I see life ...

Great trade, I love the Aussie and made a few pips on the H1 Hangman.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Wise words buddy and you are 100% right. I've done the same thing hundreds of times on the sim so when you see it in the live markets, all that fear releases and you just pull the proverbial trigger. Wish I had a musical lilt. I have a guitar and ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I have an slightly different spin on that. Many people will only trade using a defined system because they don't like the lack of defined stops and TPs by discretionary trading. They use backtesting as a comfort blanket that makes them believe that ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I can sympathise with that. I said on another thread on here about the flexibility of trading that makes it such a great career choice if you can hack the stress. You can choose when, how much and for how long you trade each day. If you have a ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Yeah, very similar paths. One thing it has taught me is the need to stick with one approach. The problem with that at the start is knowing what approaches really work or not but also knowing what approach is right for you. That is so key. Few people ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I think you misunderstand me slightly. I don't trade to become a multi-millionaire, I trade to have the freedom to do the things that I want to do. There isn't another job I could possibly do that is as flexible as trading. Therefore the money is ...
