You said in your first thread you were a crap trader - doesn't look that way to me!
Just gimme time!
No, in fairness, the real test has only just began (as in, trading with 'sensible' stops)
We'll see how the account is looking in a month or so to give a better idea of my skill level.
So far so good, but it's only been 3 or 4 sessions now using the tight stops.
I do feel a little more confident.
Half of my trading is just plain technical analysis which often gets a hard time from people who I respect such as Dionysustoast and a few others, which concerns me.
I've never been too convinced myself due to my own results in the past but due to a *lack of alternative* i've tried to struggle on and have worked and worked to find a way (work that may or may not prove a waste of time)
It's Days like today when I think people who say 'TA doesn't work' are crazy, but then I might get 'taken to school' tomorrow' and jump in their boat again. Emotions emotions....
I guess, like i say, i'll assess things again in a month or 2
regarding *lack of alternative* some of my trading is based on an excel spreadsheet and nothing more (no charts) and, I guess, would NOT be considered 'TA' by most (although would be by me, funnily enough. Everyone has their own definitions, hence the endless internet arguments on the subject)
That's why I keep my own personal spreadsheet of my results and the method that got me in to each trade. I wanna know where im making/losing points.
Next target is £700
