Morning all - still trading but other work is keeping me busy at the moment. All the best Andy

Hi Guys Hope trading is going well. Just watching today, work is getting in my way. Andy

Actually I only looked a chart once all day - can't believe I managed that! But I did read "Adventures of a Currency Trader" instead of trading (or working:whistling) Thanks for the clover - will return it once I get on a roll:cool:

Many thanks - I also download the IG spreadsheet - but to be honest I tend to better at keeping it up to date up to date on winning days than losing days (which is totally the wrong way to do it!). I think my problem is letting losing trades turn into larger losses by holding on and not cutting...

Hi Guys I am interested in understanding how to define or measure my trading consistency. For instance: If I trade 6 times per day I would have a week with 30 trades and be in profit :D BUT if I removed a single large winner then I may only be breakeven or negative.:whistling So to me that...

Only 1 hour into my trading detox and my fingers are shaking and the pointer is hovering over SELL / BUY : :p

I closed at 9521 - I need to claw back some money for the week! Out too early - but I guess that is part of the "game"

Guys I went short Dax 9534 with my stop 9555 I am trading 5min TF using only price action. Logic: Break below the TR with a "strong" looking bear bar ( I tend either to get in too early OR too late!) So it stops exactly at my entry and seems to be back to a TR. Is there something obvious...

Sorry, but what do mean by this? Is it back to a trading range?

Hi Guys Beginner Question: Would any of you try to scalp the Dax while it is in the current trading range? Or just wait till a confirmed break? ps Happy New Year.

Thanks Neil Good reading for a wet Sunday afternoon.
