Hi again aag
First off my apologies if you feel I brought something up publicly which should have been in a new private message. To me what I wrote was just immediate reflections on your journey so far, for which I didn't see any problem in sharing with other thread readers. When I first contacted you I had assumed you were having better resulted purely based on the fact that your thread hadn't died out - which I still think is admirable.
I think two things would bring some clarity to the thread:
1) Charts(as mentioned previously)
2) Some (more) totals. To me some of the weekly ones you did were confusing to head because columns had collapsed and because you often didn't specify an instrument and units.
That's for the results and setups. For the psychology I think what makes me take up this thread is it's honesty.
not apologies necessary.but lets be pedantic.trading is about analysis,analysis,analysis and analysis to an extremely anal level.
so if you have private messaged me,i reply to you in private message then i would assume your response if any would be....TADAH... by private message.it would be akin to maybe sexting a girl who opens it up to a group chat.
i liked your reply on the second reading.made me think WTF am i doing and have been doing.
on first reading,i know what another fellow must have thought when i messaged him.he did not take it well at all.i think he's european with a different sense of humour.
i think i should explain the joke.
he has a blog.with a few more years experience,even has a shared office and has had mentorship over the years but he still seems to be struggling like i do.
he writes about his talks to hedgefunds.to which i suggested,they use it an an exercise in what not to do!
it was said tongue in cheek with some truth and my hope is maybe it jolted him into thinking deeper and thinking i'll show that $hit.i also added some advise which he may or may not have appreciated but its time i took my own advice which i'll share later.
i'll come to your point 2)first.i didnt specify instrument but if you trade and had a little pheriperal vision you would easily work out its the ftse and yes the collapsed
columns didnt help and i couldnt be bothered to rewrite it all but with a little effort they can still be deciphered.
1)ive not worked out how to add charts but then ive decided against it as i no longer want to give my strategy away.what will i have left to licence to soros for forex,icahn for stocks,rodgers for commodities,gross for bonds and i dont want to put up half charts without my indicators.
i had been looking for someone to work with me,to join me on the journey but it seems people only want to join you once you are succesful.
and yes psychology(i hate that word,took me forever to write it without a red line appearing underneath it!) is what i know is now what i need to focus on next.
its crunch time and i just need to flick the switch but i dont know whats holding me back from accepting stops.i think i'll be on top of it by the end of the year if not sooner
