Are you tired of being on the "wrong" side of the trade?
If you seem to "always" enter a trade and immediately it goes against you, here's a way to reverse your fortune.
Open a practice account.
Enter the trade in the practice account.
Watch it go against you.
Then see the entry signal you should have waited for and enter in your real money account.
Sooner or later, you will start to wish you had entered the trade in your real account because you will have mastered the entry. Then, you can put the practice account away.
Simple, yet effective.

It works perfectly for me. When I have entered the trade with my practice account the "need" to get in disappears and therefore I can find much better place to enter with my real account.
It's like masturbating.

This is seriously brilliant.
Another interesting technique I discovered is that I consistently fail to predict trends. Whenever I draw a trendline, the market will INVARIABLY go the wrong way.
I am seriously considering developing a trading system that involves me making a judgement and then trading AGAINST it. If my judgements are 100% wrong, then doing the opposite of my judgements would result in 100% winners, right?

you are a cruel cruel man Tro.

the best teacher dont tell you what to do to get it right, they tell you what NOT to do so that you wont be wrong.
