zen thats a good performance and id see that as a month to look back at where you went right and in particular how the thread helped in those decisions or maybe not.146 pips in a months for that type of trading is not bad at all. It is important to remember that that is only 1 month and its how you handle the bad months that matter Imho. If anyone wanted to check the thread at the start,I got to over 1000 pips very quickly and there were about 50 odd people on the thread, and lots of questions about my methods etc.This was followed by a down turn early this year where there were lots of inconsistancies in my results etc, and hence no more questions. There have been a few losing months for me this year, but I am still well ahead for the year,mainly due to that purple patch late last year, and the odd runner this.What Im saying is that 3 months profits paid for the rest of the year. for the last 7 months my pip total is about 350 which would not be enough as an average for me.my calls on the thread during that time have been a touch more than that. How often do you guys have losing months and does it play on your mind? For many years I was always chasing the month as soon as id I got behind and that often led to a drawdown year.Even if I had a good month like youve had and got to 146 pips,if the next trade lost and took me back to say 120 pips,i would see it as being 26 pips down and begin chasing and soon give back the whole lot.anyway just putting down some thoughts while waiting for footie to start
