All is well. You live to fight another day, so learn from it and put it in the history file. Good trading to you and yours.
If you trade spot currencies then seriously consider changing your marketmaker 'cause 9 point slippage is very uncommon now, even on the fast market.
Maybe it's the price of success, but I did the same dumd thing over and over. I believe there is a part of us that, for whatever unknown reason, compells us to repeat self defeating patterns. I made the commitment to succeed or die in the process of trying, and over time that self defeating part of me surrendered and am pleased to say that , although I hated the journey, the destination was worth the effort. Hang in there if you're reely committed to succeed you will. IN2WIN
In2win, Thanks for the encouraging post.. I do repeat the same self defeating patterns over and over.. and am trying to overcome it.. very hard.. I know what I need to do to succeed in this its just a matter of doing it.. Can I ask.. what/how did you finally get past the self defeating patterns?
I apologize for answering your question to IN2WIN but think I can add a small nugget of knowledge by stating the obvious. There are only 2 ways to get past this behavior = 1. you lose all of your capitol. 2. you get so sick and tired of losing that you adhere to your own little set of rules that helps you win. Hopefully you choose the latter.
