:D --- r u one of my neighbours Nun?




i think just setting realistic short term goals is the key ----  my original goal was to stop losing bucket loads of money lol --- (done that)   ----  ive been lucky --- ive been able to sit in front of a computer for extended periods to learn ---- most people dont have that luxury ----




agree Mirc ----- first punters have to work out what time frame they like to trade in -------- short suits my situation ---- the pulse of the market is the momentum of the chart right at the coal face ---- its the only 'reliable' information to me ---- u gotta think in reverse sometimes  --  eg ----

if yr gona short the Eur ---- where is the safest place/lowest risk to get in ----  at the last high of course  --- doh!!  --- just dont short it until the momentum has shifted otherwise u'll get crucified!!





great training exercise to try on FX as well  ----- when there is an obvious trend up for eg ------  only allow yourself to take short trades (or opposite for longs) ---  punters will learn more about the instrument in one night than a week of trading breakout patterns ----


bludy TH !! ------ i wonder if folk realise just how good he actually is ----




nothing clever about what i do Mirc ---- basic chart reading --- i just like to read off 1 second charts -----  charts in any time frame look the same ---  so i figure y not put the microscope on and get in close ---- eg if the 5 min is in an obvious up trend --- wait till the 1 minute hits a momentum low --- then buy the next higher low off the 1 sec  chart just as it turns --- simple as all crap in theory ---- if u can manage to get the momentum low of say an hourly to marry an entry with the shorter time frames chances are u'll get a very nice swing trade ----


Time relative to the range of any move is also often important to gauge whether the momentum is fake or not  ----- (Frank D is the man to explain Time)


would post a bit more detail but got a few issues to deal with this week --- hopefully get a chance to continue in a few days




losing brings out the true character in people for sure Bob --- winning can make u greedy or lazy ---- losing can make u hungry




onya too Nun ---- egos can get in the way of epistemology eh!!


thanks for the input all round lads ---- sorry if the first post was a bit crazy!! :eek: ---- ya get that occasionally ---
