I still visit and sometimes comment
I haven't traded forex much lately. I generally trade the US session and there is zero volatility anymore during US hours. Most days I'm lucky to get a 30 pip range in 8 hours on many crosses. I've been trading ES and US stocks lately. As volatile as GBPJPY is so far there's only 36 pips high to low for the last 7 hours and 32 pips for eurusd and it gets much worse in the afternoon here.

Ditto wackackypete. My average trade duration is 6 bars (90 mins). Last couple of weeks it's either been 2 bars or 20. Really tough to trade. Although I don't wish bad luck on anybody in their trading, it's a comfort to know it's not just me suffering.

You've been a professional trader for quite a long time haven't you? I'm sure you've had worse spells in that time. Either way, your calls have been great to watch on the whole since you began posting.

Ditto scholfield's comments above.

If the expectancy of your methods are positive - which I am sure they must be - then 6 losses in a row can only increase the probabilities of the next 6 not being losses.
