i'm in the same situation, i have a good system but cant seem to follow it, i guess use a demo account until you are 100% confident that your system works.
I'll jump on this bandwagon. I've called most moves correctly today - I'm quite happy that I can be a profitable trader now theoretically. BUT - I physically trade like a chimp. Let me share my pain:
1) I put stops in way to small, they get triggered on spikes then I reenter the position at terrible point after the move.
2) When I get a great stop position I end up geting nervous and cutting the position manually only to see the stop would have held.
3) I *still* jump on moves as they happen - and then always watch them retrace.
The solution: I'm now trading in 1/10 of a lot at IG so all these lessons are super cheap. Hang on, as I write I see a stupidly placed stop has again triggered!
