There is no such thing as willpower or being disciplined.
I AM a paleolithic eater.
I just finished a 20rep set of squats with 250# at a weight of 168 and the last 8 reps I had to take 5-8 deep breath's between each rep just to be able to squeak out the next rep.
There is no such thing as will power or discipline.
I AM a fitness fanatic.
A consistently successful trader is by far......One Bad Dude.
I have not yet agreed within my very core to be one. YET.
Or so I read.
I'm working on it.
MightyOne,
So a close beyond the "pivot point" or "whatever zone" of the previous candle determines the investors strength. Bull or bear.
TRO pivots or 1/3 dots would come in handy here?
For me it all seems so simple and everything is black and white, or green and red. lol
It's the Illusory candle that gets me when trading live.
Take away the current candle and it all looks like $$$$$.
What time frame do you recommend for noobs?
I feel the 15m's will be best but get side tracked with the 1m's.
What did you and richie start with when you began.
Went the to movies with the family.
Was thinking.
This is ridiculous. 4 of the 5 time frames had a shi-channel that was trending up. All but the 5m.
I start scalping and lose 50 pips.
All the while the currency went up 100 pips.
Why couldn't I just make sure the trend is up.
Wait till I get a 3 at the bottom of the channel.
Take long trade without a stop.
Wait an hr or two to collect profit.
I told my wife this is not rocket science........She said your right, It's "Rocket psychology".
Doh.
Do you know how to trade a YEARLY candle?
What about a MONTHLY, WEEKLY, or DAILY candle?
No, I am not suggesting that you trade long term, I am saying that if you know how to trade for 500 pips then you would know how to trade for 5.
Weather you are going for 30 pips or 300 it is all earned in a single candle and that single candle has corrections, but your strategy remains the same; trade in the direction of profit.
Again, whatever candle and whatever time frame you are trading trade in the direction of profit.
Long term traders make money
Short term traders make money
Long term traders make money from the big boys
short term traders make money from long term traders
brokers make money from short term traders
I guess what I am trying to say is that you cannot see any thing with your face planted on the chart.
Unless you trade via a longer term chart you are just throwing dice around.
That said, my favorite chart is the 13 and 130 minute chart.
