reminiscence of(yet) a (novice)trader

ftse down another 20 since i got out.would have been done for the day.but wasnt wrong to get out before news,pattern was still in play but could have easily gone the other way.
 
Ha ha ha ! we all need one of them bats behind us. Trust me on this, almost everybody has the same fears & emotions that you do, after all we are programmed not to accept a loss.

The trick for me is to trade ONLY in my preferred conditions.

id probably try to cheat out of that too by growing a thick skull to not feel the bat.but will be easier to work out my issues and accept stop.

yes the trick is to wait for your preferred conditions and that comes with patience and discipline.
 
another point i want to make is that bigger the time frame,the bigger the move can be before a trade is confirmed.so if you want to go short,there has to be a drop before a short trade is confirmed resulting in missing out on a proportion of this move.so on a 2min this might be 10 points,on a 5min 20 points.this is also another reason i dislike bigger time frames.
 
if your a female with long legs and a firm butt the jobs yours

This could be your lucky day!

re the trades. Maybe im having an extra special moment but ive not really been able to work them out.

how bout you present them like this:- trade number) time getting in, L or S, price - time, closing price.

1) 11,34 long 7031 - 11,51 out 7042
2) 14,43 long 7023 - 15,01 out 7028
etc

If you want to attach a pic from the web, right click on the image and copy the address. Then click on the square
6099-darktone-albums-general-4-picture4302-square.jpg

and paste the address in and click ok.
Best to download the pic and upload it tbh. that way you know that if the pic you linked from goes down your post still keeps the pic.

If you want to upload an image from your computer id suggest you go to settings and open an album. You can upload your images to there and if you click on the image to make full size, copy the the 'BB code' at the bottom of the page and just past into your post.
Also when you get really bored you can enjoy your handy work all in the one place :cheesy:

With either option you can preview your post to make sure it looks ok before you post it.
