Hi trade2finind,
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
Your problem is that you haven't found a proper set up and trigger. Your 'edge' will always allude you until you do. If your set up and trigger are properly defined, it would be the common denominator on all your trades. Once you've done this, you will then be able to produce a set of trades with meaningful stat's. Most importantly, you need to know your win : loss ratio and the ratio of average win : to average loss. Unless your trades are consistent, governed by the same set ups and entry triggers, these stats's will be difficult to produce and, any that you do produce, will be of little value. Your style appears to be too loose and vague, based on your interpretation of what you think is happening - or about to happen - in the market. A very successful trader with many, many years experience may be able to do this, but it's virtually impossible for new and inexperienced traders to trade this way. Most people on T2W have tried it (me included) and, in the 7 years that I've been a member of this forum, I've not come across a single person who claims to be consistently profitable using this approach. In fact, most blow up their accounts. Of course, you just might be the one person to buck this very consistent and unfaltering trend. . .
Tim.
Thanks for your invaluable comments. I hear what you are saying, but how does one go about finding a good set up/trigger? I'm not asking ppl to give them to me, but if there are examples of how ppl did it or the path they took to get there and reach that "aha!" moment, that would also be enlightening.
