$25 to $25k in 10 days em Sistemas de Negociação May 17, 2011 at 03:24

Hey guys, I've been doing some pretty heavy introspection in the last day, and trying to figure out why i am not trading to my best. I've found the questions to the answer but not the answers to the problems! It all gets a little psyco from here... I have for some time felt like i must be losing for a reason other than my ability to read charts. It seems to me that i am a victim of self-sabotage. From everything thing that i've read the last couple of days I have possibly over the course of my life picked up several limiting beliefs. they could come from from my parents saying thin...

Hey pip, thanks for the kind words, really if i was that good this would have been done weeks ago! i am finding that my brain cant react to the market fast enough to make a decision! I should be able to assess the market, modify/place a trade, and then reassess in seconds, but its taking me minuets and by then its all ready gone too far.See the thing is that i'm only proving that i can throw away $25 a week on this idea, the last 2 weeks i've not gotten past the second step. Its amazingly frustrating, i know what i should be doing, but i'm hesitating. Usually if your wrong about a ...

Morning, a slight change in strategy. I feel like i'm trying to run before i can crawl, so for this week i'm going to drop the only 10 trades. Heres the thing, as much as 10 trades in 10 days is perfect i have come to the conclusion that just doing it in 10 days is hard enough! I've been doing some heavy back testing this weekend and i am finding the success rate considerably higher if i allow my self to take 2 or 3 trades per step. $ vol tradesie, 25 - 50$ .1 (10+15) = 2 trades 50 - 100$ .2 (7+12+6) = 3 trades etc etcI will still have the 25 pip target i...

@ pip, er... thanks for the input, its just kinda a hard one to get my head around! er... to put into simple terms what your saying is trade anything, wait, if negative get out asap, if positive let it run locking in profits?so decide on limits of loss that are acceptable, then assume that probability will make you profitable when you let gains run?intriguing.if i have a little of your attention, may i ask a couple of questions? (yeah it was rhetorical)how do i cure self sabotage?do you think that this is possible, $25 to $25k in 10 days in 10 trades?where could i get a coin that you toss?thx

@PipGnostic bahahahah the hall of shame charts! i hope that everyone goes though the process of loading up a chart to exploding point, then paring it back to something thats actually workable? or is it just me having a brain fart?sorry and trying to post the stoch indicator, but its not up loading...

Hey Pip, thanks for the kind words :)over the last couple of days i've been refining my chart setup, i've included a new screen shot, and some new indicators, all of the settings are the same.I'm just looking for a suitable strength indicator, looking for exactly 25 pip moves has always meant filtering out the strength, using rsi just isn't cutting it for me so i'm gona find something that does! came close yesterday but its still not what i want... i'll keep you updated :) on on...

@horacioo, not at all my good man! the only person responsible for each of my trades is me.when i'm trading i need to be in a certain mindset, the only way i can describe it is having a kind of clarity, the last 2 weeks i have been all over the place, and as you can see i'm allowing it to affect my trading.when i make a decision and its wrong there is always a reason for it, this time i didn't include the longer time frame charts, I was too focused on the short term trend line and i 'expected' there to be a third bounce, instead of checking all of my charts i got fixated on...

Hey Guys, That sounds amazing.I've started to write down every single rule that i can think of for this system, as soon as its done i'll pm both of you and send you what i have, unfortunately I've never even thought about having a system coded, so your going to have to treat me like a 3rd grader and layout what you need from me in real simple terms 😳, what i can do is show past trades, highlight the indicator signals and my thinking behind each trade?i've attached the indicators that i use, i'm sure that there are better versions out there and i'm always looking...

Hey, I wouldn't even know where to begin with how to write down the rules! let alone code it, part of my system is in my head! the discretion and experience of the trader is still needed to evaluate the setup, and i use multiple charts for confirmation, which i understand would be difficult to code?but maybe thats not a bad idea. do you know anyone who in could talk to about coding it?psy
