    make me more betterer....

    Yes, well, here we are. I have a lot more discipline and self control now. That being said, I'm sticking to demo trading for now! One thing I wish was that more war room members would actually discuss using Dale's methods in the chat room. There are a lot of cool charts flying around but not a...

    Stop trading when profit target met?

    Hey guys, sorry if this is already on here, but out on the net a few people recommend setting a weekly profit target and stopping trading if you hit it. What do y'll think, and whether you agree with the idea or not, do you do it? Do you wish you had?

    make me more betterer....

    So the last trading record I have is Sept 2014. In November I realized I was an alcoholic (see "trading drunk", above) and made recovery my main goal. I stopped drinking April 7th, 2015 and dealt with withdrawal, blah, blah, blah... couple years went past without a lot to show for it although I...

    Well, where did three bloody years go?

    make me more betterer....

    All of them. I can't get a feel for the H4 charts. I did try a couple of trades on the M15 because I badly wanted to believe there was a signal. There wasn't. They lost. That's a point I forgot about, thanks for reminding me. This month I'll stick to the Dailies and maybe the 4H but no more...

    You wanna hear something crazy. (Crazy Kids)

    I am thrilled to report I don't even know the pseudonyms you listed, and I am "only" 36...

    make me more betterer....

    Wow, what a month. UncleSteve learned some stuff the hard way. But I think I am confirmed enough in my system to leave it unchanged for another month, or rather just tweak it gently. I think the biggest insight may have been what Dale pointed out about trending markets. If you recall, I started...

    make me more betterer....

    g'day Buz...true... but I think Dale put his finger on it when he pointed out that the pairs I did OK on were all trending strongly. I'm pulling together January's info and I think it proves it out. More in a minute.

    make me more betterer....

    OK, this has been one heckuva month, and I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel (hope it's not a train...). I'm working on an analysis of January but in the meantime, about The Forex Guy's comment above: Can anyone point to a ranging-market strategy that has similar value to what we have...

    make me more betterer....

    Robert - that's a good point. I'm always trying to make this a science but it really is always going to be a bit of an art. The Forex Guy - thank for pointing out the extra debrief section. Nice new look, by the way! Best of luck to all in the new year (unless you're trading the opposite way...

    make me more betterer....

    Guilty as charged... Interesting about trending pairs, though. I was thinking I had just gotten a better feel for the pairs I did well in, but I hadn't looked at the fact that they had been trending. I realize you can't totally quantify this, but how many HH's or LL's are required to say...

    make me more betterer....

    @squal sorry for the thick question but what's a trading simulator? @robert I love pivot tables, it's not that much work. I just like to see where I'm doing bad and good. I'm winning 54% of the time but my losses are bigger than my wins. I have recently started realizing I can use the lower...

    make me more betterer....

    I have already posted this in babypips and FPA, but I'd love to see more action here on The Forex Guy's excellent site, and anyways, elsewhere people aren't as sold on price action as here. The markets have died for the moment. And I have been a real money trader for 120 days. I have yet to...
