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.
In GBP/USD New Order. If this triggers, then my short on GBP/USD will be immediately exited upon entry into the new position Short GBP/CHF Trigger: 1.2888 Stop: 1.3102 Cancellation: @stop or Thursday 5:30 pm Risk: 214 pips = 1.66% of mark = 1.00 risk point Record: 4 wins, 12 losses Cumulative risk points: -1.10 Avg: -0.07
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
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
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. OCO Orders: Short GBP/USD Trigger: 1.5897 Stop: 1.6018 Cancellation: @1.6050 or Thursday 5:30 pm Risk: 121 pips = 0.76% of mark = 1.00 risk point Short AUD/USD Trigger: 1.0441 Stop: 1.0636 Cancellation: 1.0691 or Friday 3:55 pm Risk: 195 pips = 1.87% of mark = 1.00 risk point Record: 5 wins, 13 losses Avg: -0.12
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.
