Oh man, it's beyond my comprehension abilities too. Just read my own post. What a mess! You might be able to decipher it in time. It would be soooo much easier doing a video for things like this. (mike? ) You know what? I totally didn't ...

OK. Just completed that post above as promised. <Breath> ...I'm calling it a night.

Staged wait. — Ok. Seriously I had all these lines on the chart before they were reacted too. Most derived from a close price "low or high" somewhere. For clarity of explanation I've removed some EMAs, a pivot indicator and fib studies. Top ...

Yes Yes! On ya! It also means you can set alerts and not watch the screen as much while out of trades. Plan the areas and wait. Also try and see past the immediate PPZs and look for the one that'll give you the highest chance of success ...

Oops. I probably started that by labelling the different styles by percentage win rate earlier today. Just a bit unthoughtful. My intentions were to point out that going into the "long run" slash "have faith in your original stop" ...

I just get out. What's the point. Took a while , but these days, the minute I say "this is a stupid trade", I get out. Stupid being... badly managed... badly entered... badly chosen... badly sized... screwed up exit orders ....or anything of the ...

Pricey is on to it. There are two major options. As you probably realise.... High win rate low targets. Low win rate higher targets. A rookie mistake to forget that sometimes, but you need to realise that the 60% method NEEDS picky ...

I do this pretty much every time Jlr. I believe it makes a big difference. It does go hand in hand with location though. For example, on a clean chart with no lines etc, I will look at an inside bar formation, head down the time frames to check it ...

Truth revealed. So the real reason you don't over trade Mike? It's hard to trade when the "keyboard stick" doesn't reach, eh? .

Most of the trades I've taken lately have been for quick profits , not A+ type trades, so you're not imagining the frustrating times. Keep up the waiting Bertie. You may have to repeat the following action for a an unknown time... If you're not ...

Lol. Was about to post on this too. It's trapped between two messy traffic areas.

Possibly. Mainly I'm weary of... The daily close (7th/may) price at .8529 . and also .8500 (38.2% fib) The rest I'll manage at the bar signal level for the moment. That whole 8480 to 8500 level is possible but if you look back at the whole 7th of ...

The factory is under attack. It was in the blog. Some little smart ass is bombarding the server with what's called a "Denial of Service" attack . Has been happening since late last week. Eventually they'll give up.

Question: What percentage return can you expect in future? Doesn't matter. Eventually your account will get to a size where even the smallest return in percentage terms will be a LOT of money. James points this out often. ...About how much easier it ...

That'll happen many many more times. lol I picked the AU top perfectly, but went to bed without placing orders. Who cares. Next week or so I'll do the same again. I'm not worrying about a trade that could just as easily have been a waste of screen ...

It's also unlikely to be on a very large account. The larger you go the more you actually affect the market you are trading. The larger the chance you can actually miss out on fills etc.

That's reasonable. Everyone has their own comfort zone where they can chuf along at. 400%-%500 a year? Sure people can do that. But, that one's un-reasonable. lol The last you want to do is chain yourself to any expectations. Just be a good ...
