  1. I understand your position. Unfortunately, I'm ok where I am. I have no more than ten minutes per day to trade, and any more than that would be too much.

    My money is fake, and I'm smart enough to know when to open an account (historically I'm negative, but the 25 or so trades I made on a real account in 2008 netted a profit). If I'm losing, I actually enjoy it - I learn emotionally how to deal with myself, and it's good medicine because, well, everything else in my life is in order and sometimes losing is fun.

    So the reason why I've ignored you is because I think it's preposterous that you want to force me to learn with the help of others, because I think it's a waste of their time and mine. Additionally, contrarily to your belief, there may be a chance that I'm not a moron and I'll eventually make a profit.

  3. I'm just realizing how terrible both previous trigger levels were on the GBP/USD short were, compared with what I think was appropriate.

    I'll move my stop though to 1.6380, and happily extend my GBP/CHF short OCO to Friday at 3:55 pm.

    No other actions

  4. Not quite what I was anticipating there.

    Short GBP/USD Result: +1 pip = +.01 risk points

    Short GBP/CHF Result: -214 pips = -1.00 risk points

    It seems I got caught in one of the traps I've been trying to play recently.

    Record: 5 wins, 13 losses

    Cumulative risk points: -2.09

    Avg: -0.12

  5. I have unbelievably little time in school. My excel sheet was also not attached last time, so it is now.

    Let's get some momentum back.

    Trigger: 1.5897
    Stop: 1.6018
    Cancellation: @1.6050 or Thursday 5:30 pm

    Short AUD/USD
    Trigger: 1.0441
    Stop: 1.0636
    Cancellation: 1.0691 or Friday 3:55 pm

  6. Another try on the attachment.

    (I guess it's not working. I'll try another time)

  9. In GBP/USD and holding. Other trade canceled.

    My excel sheet somehow blew up to 4 MBs, even though it's simple. I'm going to have to recreate it at some point and then I'll start posting it again.
