Thanks T - will take a look. Headed out to dinner with the missus in about half an hour so will be a late read.

Great thread. Enjoying following - keep up the good work!

Re: Market Wizards Interesting view.. and lets be honest - the very best out there did not make money doing what all the rest did.. Will be interesting to see which way the EURUSD goes.. good luck!

Re: 6 rational trades Very wise. Thanks for sharing. No worries. Not wise just a view and hopefully of some help to you. Been having a very busy weekend and just back ontoday. No trades so far. I'm happy to watch the market for a while - don't know why but I don't feel like I would be...

Re: 6 rational trades Thanks Mate, however I've made an entry into the S&P which is not currently going so well! That's the discretionary trading life I guess.. currently breakeven on the day, S&P at its high's. Should I cut here or continue on.... hhhmmmm.... If it retraces at all I'm back...

Hey 50pip Great thread. Keep up the good work.. Although I've rarely posted on this web site I have been trading away in the shadows for the last 5 years and only believe that I have only started to grasp this game in the last 18 months. Interested to see how this thread develops and glad to...

Hey Bobbogh.. Sounds like a good idea to me. I've tried making this meet in the past but work commitments have kept getting in the way! Maybe some point over the next 6 weeks? You sound in a very similar situation to me, self taught - been trading about 3 and a half years...
