Not the greatest day today. In fact a pretty poor one. Money management has been fine. Looking over my trade log some of the intra day levels that seemed good and sensible in the heat of the moment obviously haven't turned out that way. Need to re-focus for tomorrow. Stay sensible. Stick to my...

Last week ended quite well. It was a positive week. I had a slight wobble mid week where I caught myself thinking about silly trading i.e sat on the couch in the evening relaxing but checking charts on my phone so not really relaxing and being struck with FOMO. Thankfully I caught myself, which...

This week has been pretty good. My discipline the last couple of weeks has also been good. Setting my levels and waiting for them and not doing anything stupid in between. Thought it interesting to download a trading statement for July from my broker account. It's not making millions but the...

Almost a fortnight since my last post :eek: that time has gone so quickly. I've been working hard at my mental discipline and emotions and trying to be aware of them when trading or after trades but alsotake some actions rather than just being aware of them and carrying on in the same vain...

So I've spent some time since my last post going right back to basics. @barjon has been helping in the background which has been really appreciated. So what have I been doing when I say going back to basics. I've just been looking at my charts on an hourly and daily TD and marking off the most...

@0007 thanks for your really comprehensive reply. Means a lot that someone has taken the time to write such a reply. I'm feeling like my issues fall into a couple fo different camps. Mental is certainly one of them. Not understanding my emotional triggers. What makes me want to "show the...

it's such a frustrating feeling spending so many years at this and not having anything to show other than blown accounts. That phrase keeps coming to mind about doing the same thing and expecting different results. I'm starting to think the only common denominator in my experience so far is me...

I've not been on here for a loooong time. In fact when I finally found my log in details and looked at my past posts it's November 2014 since I've posted anything and there's a ton of stuff changed since then. Personally and the world in general. This is more of a diary than a journal. I've...

And he's setup another lovely little blog by the looks of it http://chartingthedax.eu/ How about a quick email to him to find out why his other account on twitter didn't last that long

Don't end up being a statistic, and giving up. Treat this a trading lesson. All be it a very expensive one from the sounds of it, and learn more. There is no embarrassment in admitting what you have done, and none what so ever in going back to a demo account, and learning properly this time...

Hanging on to big losing trades like that and wishing and praying for a turn round is something I would imagine at least one of us has done. Some of us more than once. Sounds harsh, but there's no easy way out. Cut the losses and learn a very hard lesson. Letting them run and praying they'll...

That's not nice to hear nitrader :( I watched him on twitter and while he was here, and some of his analysis was good. At least for a 20 or 30 bounce, not the hundreds of pips he was talking about. But the stuff on twitter about follow everything I do, and you'll have £10k by mid December was...

I just took a really nice poo :lol:

Sssshhhhhhhhh don't say it that loud!

Good luck dealing with them boys. I work in tech support for an ISP and have to deal with BT clowns every day. Harder work than picking an entry on dow with both hands tied behind my back :lol:
