No courses, forex talk in general, I may travel but not at this time and days change but it's often Tues, Thurs. Any interested should message me to work something out. I'm looking for some serious trading pals as my friends aren't going in the same direction.

Candles show support / resistance and is different from divergence. It's hidden from price action like volume is, a large candle doesn't mean large volume, a candle reversal doesn't mean divergence.

I'm a big fan of getting the mind right. Hypnosis can instil the right concepts quickly. You're breaking rules for a reason, figure out what the belief is.

The process is a real danger for investors. Your situation is why people need two years worth of records of consistency. Average funds are down 4% year end. I like Chris Lori, you could join his club. He's a CTA and can train you. Check reviews and make your own mind up.

They are still one of the better ones which says a lot about the industry. Make your own mind up, don't accept requotes. I would hope that they change things after their fine and become a reputable broker, but with the same people in charge it's doubtful.

Ignore the lower trendline, it's connected at only one point. Check the middle one, trendline break followed by retest of the line, common. Test it, figure out probability of success, find exits.

You seem to already have a strategy, how does it work on a long time frame?

If you're profitable, I think your personality and strategy are in sync with each other. I think it's that simple. : ) If you've developed your own strategy that you use, then it's in sync with your personality. : ) I get the impression that there's some confusion here.

Fine, pivots and a candle = doesn't have to be a scalp trade though. Test your strategy on multiple time frames and see what happens. There are many areas on a chart where price will pop, enabling an easy scalp trade. Or develop a method and reduce the time frame down, see if it's still profitable.
