    Markets definately hate me, makes it a lot trickier!!

    SL would of been hit already for a -$160, ACTING is important, Rabbit in the head lights, always get squished, accept the uncertainty of trading and ACT fool!!

    Operation FOCUS on trading and keep spinning till cracked and KEEP going to not fall back out of the zone again and again is here, Full time SOON!!

    GJ has huge down move, GU errrr I've joined it, barely moves at all.

    Just can't get a break around here :(

    GU back up, 3rd position just in and SL's hit -$100 ARSEEEE!!!

    It turned, I couldn't believe that it would turn against me, so let it run with tight SL's thankfully.

    DAMN IT!!! Got enough information to trade, just got to get better at reading the chart, the 7's only get me so far.

    Ahhh for a 30pt trend momo run my direction!!! Arseee!!

    Join GU Long ?? confidence in spinning the wheel, lacking after a few kickings :(

    Can't quit, 30pt run, might be just around the corner!!

    GU Long 1/3 in 1.27004.

    If I go M5 then my 7sma ( 35 in M1 ), holds up very nicely.

    Looks like I need to stop reacting and taking sucker trades, against the longer trend, thankfully GU's 35sma is positive!!

    Okay ANNOYED, she turns again SL hit another damn $100 down the tubes!!

    KILL ME!!

    What are you trading at the moment ?

    If you are scalping futures then maybe a daily loss limit would be a good idea - it can help prevent a poor day becoming a catastrophic one.

    Forex, GPBUSD and GBPJPY currently.

    I normally do okay, 60%+ win rate, but not getting any runs today, every run I jump on, stalls and turns on me.

    Reevaluating me method / life!!!

    Right 7 is too fast, in a world of no spreads and no commisions fine, it's too changeable.

    SL's too tight, Lot Size too big, need to trade smaller, longer view, wider SL as I've been through a 1000nd+++ times before.

    Looks like a 16 based method works well, stronger Momo, 0.03 and 0.06%.

    SLOW IT DOWN, SL out to 12, Lot size down to $5, 2 positions MAX.

    FOCUS!!!
