  2. I think the main problem is that your system isn’t (well) adjusted to the current (trending) and relatively low volatility markets. In a sideways market, you’d be catching tops/bottoms and your trading would be more consistent. The markets won’t always grow the way they have been – something will give and you’ll be able to accurately forecast a top. But until then, if I am correct and your system is lacking, you’re going to be erroneously trading regardless of emotions and other externalities because your program isn’t made for trending markets.

    … but this emotional turmoil you speak of, perhaps I know the perfect solution :p :eek:

    My point is that when in doubt stay out of the trade. Hope is no basis for a trade. This looks like revenge trading to me (something I am too familiar with). My suggestion would be to take a few days off, have some fun a try and divest yourself of the baggage of your trading record thus far this year. Then come at the market fresh with no preconceptions and without any losses to make up just to start making money again. Maybe you will see the same scenario you are seeing now but quite possibly you will not. Worst case scenario you will get a few extra days of vacation this year.

    Of course now that I have written that the trade will be a stunning success :D, nevertheless you know what I am talking about.

  5. I like that. When in doubt, you try to get in touch with your feminine side.....

  6. Yeah, another great nothing post. You SEE bullish divergence? You don't see shit...As usual you havent got the faintest idea of what you are talking about...

    You and Marketsurfer are one helluva team. He apparently is going to make a career out of getting his ass kicked on a daily basis and you provide the "ass backwards" recommendations and your best "court jester" routine to help him keep his spirits up.....

    Neither of you could find your own asses even if you used both hands..

    By all means don't change a thing. Nothing and I mean nothing could rival the fantastic entertainment you both provide.

    Best Regards
    Steve

    P.S.

    By the way, have I "PM'd" you lately to ask or beg for help?
    If so, please do post those pm's...I can't wait to see them. Apparently I am always pm'ing the guy for his very valuable advice on using the Fisher Transform.

    I can wait to see what that valuable advise was. I am sure you are a real expert on the subject....

    Can't wait.:D :D :D

  8. Brilliant. Still 30 pips under where you suggested going long. Keep 'em coming.

  9. Suggested going long? I stated a good place to take a piece of profits. Just watch the chart...

  10. You stated it was going to retest highs. That's a long recommendation, and from 30 pips higher. Always full of bad advice, eh? I have a suggestion... mind your own account.
