I'm continually amazed how well you "attack". I'm fine with scouting and rescueing, but always always struggle adding to a winner. It's a mindset problem that I haven't been able to change for years. Inspirational posts - thank you. All my best, MK

My trading journey

This one hurt me a bit...I sold 1.4521 and added 1.4502, dumped them all at 1.4521. I'm hesitant to rescue shorts just because I don't have any obvious higher time frame R in this area yet. Prefer longs, but haven't been seeing obvious longs other ...

I hate to post this in dongsky's thread because it just detracts from the thread purpose, but I feel I must post this because this is the second person that has felt compelled to have a rant at me. I have never been asking for hand holding - why ...

This whole Greece thing is a real spanner in the works for day traders this week. I think you have traded today quite well considering the lack of markets intent to trend in europe session... All my best, MK

My trading journey

I can understand the need for focus dongsky. No need to post stuff in real-time either IMHO. I've typically found that I get more of a benefit when reviewing my actions when the sh!t hits the fan rather than when the sky is blue and the sun is ...

My trading journey

Hi dongsky, I've read a lot of your journal and must commend you for posting this publicly. Mainly because people often see this type of trading as wreckless because so many of the trading books have cliches of 'never add to a loser', or 'if the ...

Hi there, Yesterday was waiting for the results of the greece vote with regards to accepting EU's bailout terms. The vote was scheduled to happen sometime yesterday (it's release time was labelled 'tentative') and was marked in all the FX news ...

So you have changed your intent to what you told me via PM? If you have forgotten I have no problem pasting what you wrote in this thread but I withheld doing so out of respect. You sent me the PM back on April 28th, and you had an agenda in mind. ...

Hi Adilius, Tom's not going to do that. I too am in a timezone that is not conducive to participate (it would start at about 5am local time) and had asked him about this previously to which he replied no. He has an agenda with the webinar (and with ...

Hello gssintokyo, No I have not done that specific exercise, but before coming to FX about a year and a half ago, I was successfully scalping both the Hang Seng and Nikkei 225 Futures for near 2 years with an entry chart of 1min or 20 second chart ...

Building an equity millipede

Hi Hans, All you say above sounds great when reading the thread. Clearly it is not that simple though otherwise there would not be so few people having great success with the method. I've been attempting this approach since this threads inception ...

Building an equity millipede

Yeah that'd probably work V - good thinking. I don't know if all brokers allow that type of size flexibility and I recall Graeme using FXCM. They used to (7 years ago) only allow 100k minimum positions, perhaps that has changed nowadays. All my ...

Building an equity millipede

Hi Graeme, I wonder how this new NFA regulation coming into effect on May 30th will alter your management approach, if at all. url With kind regards, MK

Building an equity millipede

Hi Scotty, If you are trading millipede style then nothing was lost by not going long last week. Any longs established would have been taken out on the recent fast decline. Your bias prevailed and you should take some comfort in that. With kind ...

Building an equity millipede

Thanks for the post Geoff. I can see that I'm trying to be too 'perfect' with this all. It has always been a problem with my trading and my character in general. I'm over thinking, over analyzing, and under trading. Thanks again. All my best, MK

Building an equity millipede

Welcome Back Graeme — Hi Graeme and it is good to see some posts from you again! Some really great posts recently. I admit to having failed over the past couple months. Twice I was in what turned out to be great positions that ended up running ...

Building an equity millipede

Thanks wiz - you answered most of my questions. Your point about overstaying, I agree with strongly. So so many of my trades used to get decent MFE but because I would overstay I usually ended up with the dreaded BE result (back in set to BE days). ...

Hi there, In the morning I start by opening up the daily and weekly charts to refresh my memory and see how the daily looks with another bar printed on it. I'm just looking for the obvious S/R here. These become my prime areas of interest, but after ...

The_wizz, How come you ignore my questions? :-( I'm still waiting for some meat in this thread, is this thread going anywhere or is it just promote your webinar for whatever reason? With warm regards, MK
