Relax fella's,
It's not about the money, it's about "this" trade.

As simple as 1,2,3.

If,
I focus on each trade in the following manner.
1. Objectively identify the edge.
2. Pre-define and accept the risk of each trade.
3. Act without hesitation or reservation. (This includes cutting losses)
Things will go well.

I will make more pips!!
His goal is 20-40 pips a day.
He trades all three sessions.

I trade 1ish hr london.
2-3 hrs NY.

Relax.

so what you are trying to tell me is that trading 10x your current size is not going to affect you emotionally as long as you stick to your plan :roll:

this is not going to be a good idea

1. you will be emotional
2. you shouldn't trade a goal, and now you are going to trade your goal and to also to beat his daily pip goal.

"It's not about the money, it's about "this" trade."

--- it is about the trade and not about the money but the money causes emotions and emotions cause stupid trader mistakes. You already know this, but seem to think it will be different this time for some reason.

not going to say anything else on it

good luck
Bend over and assume the position for another 4 years of hope and change.

The dream of all dreams................
I envision this when I sleep, When I'm day dreaming at work, it's when I wake that kicks my ass.

Written by M.O.

I don't think that anyone here has ever attempted to trade as I do...

My method is not about finding a trade today, but finding a trade with the greatest value where value is defined as the possibility for price to move in a single direction for days, weeks, or months.

It takes advancing and then retreating from corrections once or twice and the willingness to risk everything that you have made thus far in exchange for massive profit.
It takes sitting out of a pair for days or weeks while the heavens align.
It takes entering on small time frames and working the trade into the larger charts.

As soon as a trade is significantly in profit I can manage the trade with a smartphone.


When I first showed the method to the people here I wasn't dipping below 4 hour bars for analysis...
even now I will not trade against three hour momentum.

Starting from the multiple minute chart before moving the trade to the hourly helps to reduce risk.
You could stay on the small time frame charts however it is unlikely that you will traverse great distances with small feet :Shocked:

I started reading this thread because MightyOne mentioned
he did some posts here. Starting from post 1 until page 84
I started to actually feel sick.

Wow, PRO this thread brought back some memories of my
path to learning to trade. I was skipping around from system
to system. I would worry about missing moves so I would have
too many indicators and systems to watch.

I learned to be a trend follower then I realized there is always
a different trend going on depending on your timeframe. So
that was not the answer. That was only one example, I went
a lot of indicators and methods.

I then learned to focus on ONE method of trading. I learned to
trade the news successfully. 100% return per month, and I
was getting better. Eventually this type of trading became almost
impossible because of several factors. I had to learn something
new to replace it.

Back to the drawing board, I went down the path as PRO has been
with a bunch of things going on. I eventually settled on ONE type
of trading method. I was using supply/demand methodology alone
until I came across MightyOne. His ZL methodology has meshed
well with Supply/Demand. Now I am looking for supply/ demand
balances/imbalances with held profit.

The moral to the story is:
PICK ONE DAMN METHOD PRO, AND MASTER THE HELL OUT OF IT
PICK MONEY MANAGEMENT WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RIGHT 90%
ONE LAST THING HAVE YOUR WIFE SIT NEXT TO YOU AND SMACK
THE PI$$ OUT OF YOU WHEN YOU BREAK YOUR RULES.

I really enjoy your post and am glad you have joined Kreslik. I laughed OUT Loud when I read your Moral Of The Story: PICK ONE DAMN METHOD PRO, AND MASTER THE HELL OUT OF IT PICK MONEY MANAGEMENT WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RIGHT 90% ONE LAST THING HAVE YOUR WIFE SIT NEXT TO YOU AND SMACK THE PI$$ OUT OF YOU WHEN YOU BREAK YOUR RULES.

We all need someone sitting next to us smacking the Pips out of us when we don't follow our own rules. Fantastic.

I am curious, you mention that you did really well trading the news until something happened. Have you identified what happened that made your strategy move from 100% a month to a loosing strategy?

Thanks, Patch, In VA

Hi Patch.

I had to stop trading the news because the broker I was using actually
went bankrupt. It was hard enough finding a broker where I can get good
spreads and fills during news. There were other brokers/spread betting
places I could use, but not so reliable.

The second reason was the economy. At one point the news would have
a very predictable pattern. Once the "economy retrace" started hitting
mainstream, the results were hard to predict.

So now I learn a method that is not effected by those things and make
the same return :)

Asian, London, and New York combine.

+7.2 pips total.

I won't show the trades because it was a rough night/day.

I will say truthfully once rolling that $1 pips started feeling the same as 10 cent pips. I wasn't even thinking about $ and was just getting pissed at my exits. They stink.

WE ARE TALKING 20SEC -2 MIN TO SOON!!!

Unbelievable how far the market can move just after you exit your trade, most times for a small loss.

Those guys are very tricky the way the move that thing around.

While I can't say...

Postby razorboy » Mon Aug 31, 2009 8:51 pm

that I trade quite like MO......but I get the idea of sitting on your hands.....and using the small time frame to manage risk. ive gotten my average loss down to about 9 pips....(and have yet to have one of those trades turn around and hit my profit target) as evidenced by my trading stats on the ej


After 55 days of trading....

in pips Risk Return payoff ratio
win ratio 8.42 114.37 13.58
0.24 6.36 27.98 4.4 (risk adjusted)

24% win rate.............earn 4 dollars for every dollar wagered.........on 93 trades.........less than 2 trades a day

pro - since mid june i have been averaging 35 plus pips per day.................BUT there are weeks where my daily average is 2 pips and others when it is 80 and others when it is 50 and sometimes 10 (last week I lost all six trades and earned 2 pips a day).

So what am i getting at is focusing on a daily goal per se may not let you see the forest from the trees and cause you to throw the baby out with the bath water.............

pro - have you defined your edge and its risk reward?

PS.......no more metaphors from me.............
