The story of Yirbu

[Yirbu]

I'm having some posting issues last 2 weeks. When I try to post something it automatically logs me out. Annoying

If you were Pro and posted 10 times a day that would be even more annoying

Happened to him and he was indeed annoyed

Guess that's why Pro post 20 times a day. Just to make sure Kreslik doesn't log him out

Today I planned to do some posts but I failed.
Failed because I just didn't trade; I got distracted but I did manage to take these two.
First trade was a bit annoying because I knew that taking trades around the daily open (blue line) is tricky...
2nd; I just imagined it was an inside bar because I wanted to get in and get at least 7 pips to the low.
Held on and got X5

This morning I did some trades, up, down etc and some small gains, small losses and then I wiped Asia out.
Didn't catch the complete top and my entry was a bit late but still catched 33pips so thats 70% of the downmove.

It was my intention to close my trade just shy of the Asian low, somewhere below the daily open.

It was a while I took a trade like this!

Today I had some losses when I started. I suspect it's the market that moves a bit different when important US news is coming out and me not being able to sync soon enough. Decided to do something different. Oil was "in" something and got "out", came back in once more and then I decided to hop in.
Exit was when my speed line was broken, so it took nearly 2hrs.

Still red figures for the day but this helped

No, I was just wandering through the threads.
I had read most of the threads anyway and while there is a lot of value in some older threads, it's hard to derive it when the conversation is dead.
So I guess you are at the right threads now.

Why dig through old threads? anything good is carried forward, everything else is left behind.

Sometimes you try something, it seems good at first, and then it loses its shine.

You're going to make small changes from month to month and after a few years it's going to be something new.

Those things which do not change are your "truths".

Although I hate the phrases "my/your truth" I agree that you evolve your trading over time. I do believe that old threads and videos can have value.

No way in Hades Dave Teaches is ending with a losing day.
He says to NOT learn from a mentor that does/could have a losing day.

Market does the SAME thing every day over and over and over.
If you lose, WHAT CHANGED?, cuz it wasn't the market. LOL

Think about Doctors, Surgeons, etc. You wanna learn from one that has a LOSING day? hahahaha
Not me.

Kreslik is back online. I actually wasn't looking anymore.
Really happy to see you all are still here.

Alias you are back too, sorry for your loss and I hope you are feeling better.

I've got some reading to do

So you are saying, as a scalper who has very tight risk control, it's impossible to win every day?

If so, maybe you should change mentors.

Hell, if I controlled risk just a itsy bitsy bit better, I'D NEVER have a losing day. hahahahaha, WTF?
