Potential USD/JPY short...

 

UPDATE: I got filled but not without 5.1 ticks of slippage!! Jeez... I guess it was because of the consumer confidence news. That's some of the worst slippage I've gotten. :(

 

FINAL UPDATE: Taken out for break-even. The dashed red line is closer to where the stop was actually placed, due to the 5.1 pips of slippage at entry, the 2.4 pip spread, etc.

Thanks for the reponses, iwshares & todds. I appreciate it.

 

I was just sitting here thinking and came to the realization that all I can do is my best...and hence my primary objective should just be to make my best better!

 

I can't get so mad at myself and upset as long as I'm doing my best. Hindsight's 20/20. I am well aware that I can't trade like Thales at this point, and I'll never trade perfectly...all I can do is my (current) best.

Potential GU long...

 

UPDATE: Taken out for a full loss (first one since I started trading/posting consistently a little over 5 weeks ago). You can imagine how I'm feeling right now.

Just reviewing my 1R loss and realized that I was basically going long a tick or so under resistance!

Have you considered trading on longer/different time frames to see if that helps. I trade base on te dailies and really appreciate the breathing room of the Market weekly close. Good work spotting why the trade stopped out, before placing one based on the same setup again

Well, I'm attempting to master day trading, so I pretty much just focus on the 15 minute chart as my primary chart. I like day trading because I feel like with more opportunities (vs swing or position trading), I'm getting more practice.

 

EDIT: I may someday be forced to focus only on much longer timeframe charts, though! ;)

Good job holding through those pullbacks. What made you hang in there this time?

 

I just had confidence in the trade I guess. It probably helped that I wasn't at my computer most of the time. I was checking in here and there but I wasn't watching every tick.

Potential EU long...

 

UPDATE: Filled for profit. Wow that was stressful holding through NFP! haha

 

UPDATE 2: Wow that profit target could not have been better placed! (I'm not taking credit...I know that was a little lucky! :))

I know it's early but I'm gonna go ahead and call it a week.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=24826&d=1307111723

 

We had a holiday on Monday, then I had a rough start to the week but managed to make it back and then some. Still a whole lot of room for improvement. I'm getting good experience/practice, though. The drawdown and full 1R loss earlier in the week was probably a good thing because it forced me to experience the loss and move through it.

 

Have a good weekend!

Hi Folks,

 

I thought it would be interesting if we had a thread where we could all post charts of potential price moves in real time...

 

So the new management traded the old thread in for a dog ...

 

Well, she was a fine and good thread. I thank all of you who helped make her so.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Hey didn't mean to offend anyone here ... just that old thread was getting hard to navigate for people. Thanks for creating this great thread ... it isn't closed so you can continue to post on here if you want.

 

thanks,

MMS

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
