I really should have done the same, I'm reading a book at the moment "Mastering the Trade", and the first part on psychology is describing exactly what I did on cable this morning. :cry: Wasnt good! But hey atleast its a recognised behaviour and I'm learning! :clap: Kapil

Yep, until I learn more, the best thing I've learnt is to just say, 'oh well, another chance will pop up soon' and just leave it (even though you close your position then it goes in your favour 50 pips in 30 seconds!). After being in the room for good few weeks I've learnt that, if I miss out on...

Fantastic morning today. 75 pips, my best for a morning :) Cable behaved nicely and I entered 123's on the dot once or twice which was rewarding! If I had stayed longer I think I could've made more on cable and usdjpy but at the moment i'm not a fan of leaving trades open while I go off to...

Much nicer day today with trends I could see and confirmed by Dan/Zak on cable and yen currencies. I feel more and more confident now because I know i have been learning effectively if I can see simple trends and it's confirmed by you guys! 65 pips in my pocket today, very happy with that! Main...

I thought i would share this as I should be responsible for posting about bad days as well as good, did a total schoolboy error today. Was about 35 pips up, EURUSD and cable looking to go short at about 7.50am. So set it up, with some targets, didnt put a stop loss (LESSON 1!), the most...

Lol

Fantastic words spoken in the last few posts. I'd like to say that it follows in most parts of life to find your benchmark, your target, work hard, listen to experience and yes success will surely follow! I've just ended a fantastic (to me) first week. I am very very confident, and downturns...

Thanks guys Certainly wouldnt have been able to do it without everybody's help. I learn by doing, and its working! Update for today +47 pips 1st Week total : 263 pips I really can sound like a noob when I'm raving about you guys, but its all true! Paul yep my days are pretty full up...

WOWSER! I'm so happy today. Passed 2 of my CIMA exams, and at the same time : 120 pips!!! Ok not much compared to some, my first >100 pip day! I shorted on cable this morning, banked half (25 pips) when it went below DP. Also saw EURGBP was on the up also. Before work I set some loose stops...

You're right, discipline and patience is what i'm lacking at the moment. Came home from work, frustrated i was 10 pips down from the morning. Tried to scalp, claw, bite my way back, nothing went my way, was another 20 pips down. Then, calmed down, really focused on looking for an opportunity...

Ouch Dan! Not so well for me, I had +36 pips (which is good for 1st day using your strategies, still demo'ing, will put real money at the start of Feb) HOWEVER, I thought I'd grab gold by the balls and go for it also, was going well for a bit and thought I'd do a longer trade than usual, got...

hehe thanks Candles, im definitely reading as much as I can, pretty much spent half my day at work reading stuff on these forums and about 5 hours last night! will carry on! Trade Dante certainly has some good advice! I've had another blast just now this evening but couldnt call anything and...

Hi candles, As I'm just getting my head around Forex and i'm looking to get into it to do in the mornings before work, your thread has really inspired me, i've been scalping (i hear thats a bad thing?) and I made around 150 pips today (i'm guessing as on oanda i've made about ~£15 with 10p per...
