yes very instructive to watch you move that stop. I was enthralled..literally sitting on my balls.. uhh what you make on that trade.. "I was stopped out with a tiny gain BTW." what else you got? Seriously, you're taking 20 pip pops just like me
No kid, not just like you. I'm waiting to see if I can get more, occasionally the market does run you know. And I'm not taking three 20 pip losers in a row on "all in" positions like you either. Now go ahead and continue with your unverifiable no screen shot "journal". I won't embarrass you anymore.
Read something like Bob Volman's book, in fact its probly tbe best thing right up your ally considering you like scalping and your focused on eur/usd
Yes on my list to read first. Right now don't want to read anything by anybody but... My advice to any young person at the beginning of their career is to try to look for the mere outlines of big things with their fresh, untrained, and unprejudiced mind.Hans Selye Before i prejudice my mind want to figure things out myself, see my own patterns make my own style. Learned in one of my classes that preconceptions may block your creativity and learning. Even prevent you form ever seeing things in a new way. I want to see the big outline of things when I sitback and just stare at the chart
For example I got a chart on my lap now just sitting back let it capture my eye. Taking it all in the undulating waves, formations, candles allowing my mind to capture THE BIG PICTURE. Before delving into the details, the minutia It's all there. All that's needed i think to place the successful trade Looks easy enouf
Really want to get away from scalping rather make one or two low risk high probability trades each day. Make my assessment early in the day, buy/sell let it ride for the day or two. Is there an easier way to do this anyone?
A chart is nothing more than the fight between groups of people trying to place an intangible property of price to something Eventually you will see it is not a chart you are reading but the fight between these groups.. just make sure you are not mesmerized by a chart Also it doesnt hurt to read up as much as you can as long as you are taking in what you are reading with a grain of salt
Just trying to be funny like everyone else here, give a little back of what i'm getting. Never meant to be insulting, just funny. Must admit I am getting pushed around quite a bit since I arrived. I have lots of respect for experienced traders here (like You) that TALK THE TALK WALK THE WALK!
