Aliassmith Psychology 101 and other stuff

[Braathen]

Ill have to think about that alias.. so i dont just let out a load of crap.
But just to say something...
Fear always plays a big role.. in many diffrent ways..
and there are many diffrent ways to get past these fears i guess.
One i think is confidence.. but thats not enough imo.. experience.. not enough either imo.. now in your signeture u say "Master Yourself".
This is one of the most important aspects for me. Ive said this a few times before but it just keeps coming to me as a huge turn in my life
"Your mind is a tool, It will do what you TELL it too"... and also.. give yourself every advantage.. stay fit.. eat healthy food (u can drink bear and be healthy!) This is a good place to start on every problem u have.. ask yourself questions.. answer them.. learn.. "Behavior modification"
This is not so much about the actual trading but how u can prepare yourself for actually using the info u have been storing in your brain for months.
Wow what a long post.. sorry.. ill post it anyway.. ill think about the emothinal demons

Sorry for putting you on the spot.

One of my demons is/was holding onto losses to long. I rationalized the
behavior by thinking I would work my way out of it. The thing is I
researched this line of thinking and in just about every case I would have
been better to cut my losses. I am now confident that cutting losses fast
is the way to go.

Alias, thought that I was lone one in that boat of being able to come back from holding losses.

Having looked at the charts when using your method, or dragon33 method, if entered right there is maybe 2 pips heat. If entered wrong the heat is never ending. A rational person, obviously not me in the past, would recognize this and the light would go off saying at 5 pips, something is wrong.

Having done a fair amount of reading, it appears that holding losses stems from the not wanting to be wrong syndrome that we were taught since infants. Sorry for the long winded post.

No apoligies necessary! Thanks for your contribution. Too many people
are "man if I just had the right method....blah...blah...blah". The thing
is if you can't correct your bad habits then you won't be as successful
as you want.

Any number of the gurus here could spell out what they do down to the
smallest detail and most people will still fail because of some deep rooted
emotions.

Range/correction/order stack

Study how the market behaves at the order stack area. It is important
for small timeframes and small drawdown.

GBP/JPY might be my new love
Didn't take the after pic, but it hit my TP for 35 pips.
I see why some of you like this pair.

Some trading logic!

There is a market move where price closes over S/R and comes back
near it and "tests" the S/R area.

Is it really a test or does it have to do with a trader's prayer?

"Dear God please let me get out of this trade at break even"

So S/R fails for some traders and then it corrects because of stops. Then
it comes back to where many can get out at break even or a small loss.
This cause new momentum.

Brain thinks of many things while watching charts.

skin missing.
