Thread Banter Continuum

Hi chaps,

Been a couple of good runs down and up over the last 24hrs. After the stupidity of my mistakes yesterday though I have decided forums are bad for my wealth and I will not be posting anymore.

I shall miss the banter and discussions but in order for me to perform at my best, I cannot have the distractions so best to step away. I wanted to help out any one I could as much as I could and hope I have but for me, this is not proving to be a good thing to do.

I'll be about for PM's and abusing firewalker but no more calls or particular trade discussion.

Cheers and good trading one and all

Cheers Wasp!

Thanks for all the information you unselfishly gave out in this thread. I hope you get back on track. Last week was pretty good, eh?

Re: Live FX Trades

This week is turning out okay now but would have better if not for yesterday. It was all my own fault for doubting my plan but as long as daytime TV is my only distraction, it shouldn't convince me trade against my own plan.

Discipline is a bitch at times!

As an aside, I am heading over (hopefully) for the triple crown in December... I'll have to look you up for a beer whilst I'm there!

Absolutely Wasp. If you find yourself on Maui thawing out from the cold English winter, give me a shout and we'll go close the pub here.

Cheers!

Re: Live FX Trades

credit to wasp for posting trades and analysis.
I completely understand your standpoint.
Apparent consensus from others can cause you (me) to not take trades I would otherwise have taken, and consequently lose out.

good luck.

Thanks Wasp!

Your posts had been great help for me.

I too find that posting and reading forum minutes before trading proves to be costly.

Good luck!

You should only post when you want to; these things can indeed be distracting. I regularly take breaks and I only post or reply to messages when I feel like it (mostly in the mornings because I focus on the markets in the afternoon).

For most of us it's different, since we aren't in a position all of the time.
Thanks for all of the contributions and posts.
No worries, I'll keep mentioning your name whenever I feel like making fun of someone
