My thoughts

When each day turning on the computer gives you mixed emotions of Christmas morning vs the 1st day of school.

You Know You've Got It Bad When:

My Ah ha! moment came when I realized that Money Management was the most important system in relation to how I trade. As long as my winners were larger than my losers I only had to be right 50% of the time (or even less!) to make money. That has ...

the Set and Forget Pivot Net system

my version of First Strike... — I trade Joel's First Strike Plus and I trade the original system with some alterations which have proven to work quite well for me over the past 6 months or so. Admittedly my records on this system haven't been ...

First-Strike & One-Night-Stand users, show yourself and your mods, if you dare!!!

EURUSD

my aha moment — Let me begin by wishing you the best of luck and welcome you to Forex. I finally turned the corner when I realized that 1) I could not predict where the PA was going and decided to stick with straddle methods only and 2) when I ...
