Why can't they be equally important?

Fear in itself doesn't help or hurt your trading. Fear, like all other emotions, impacts your trading based on our strategy. If I have a great strategy but I'm very fearful, then it will hurt my trading performance. If I have a terrible trading ...

What makes you think trades can't be deliberate and only taken with careful analysis using an android/IPhone? I work 9-5, so make that one of us that trades via a smart phone. Thanks for welcoming me to the thread.

I'm happy with Oanda.

Why would anyone use an unregulated broker? We already know they are willing to do shady things by taking US business. What else are they willing to do? 50:1 leverage is more than enough to do well, IMO.

How many people here trade with only your mobile phone at work?

No, they aren't actively looking in FF. But, if your track record is good enough, somebody will give you money to manage. The thing is that nobody cares about how well you do with a $500 account. Just like it's a whole new emotional game when you go ...

Apparently, I should be ashamed to be NYer.

I know and I don't hold them high. I believe the London session easily has the most FX trading volume. So, there will be better movement.
- Smokeymar replied Oct 11, 2012
Are you implying that because it’s hard to trade the NY session, they must not know how to trade? That doesn’t really make sense to me. If anything, it’s probably the other way around. Seasoned institutional traders are better at hiding what they ...

Why do you care? If you are looking for forum fame, then just let Trade Explorer track your account and link a thread to it. Just remember, the markets can humble anyone, no matter how smart, disciplined, or skilled you are.

Just let me know as soon as the lots are filled so I can go short.

I think this is where your problem is. You are putting an enormous amount of pressure on yourself to be profitable every day. I think this causes people to over trade. "Arrrg, I need to get back to break even for the day"......more trades.

TBH, I used to think about making abnormal returns and being great. But, recently I have stopped thinking that way. I don't need to be the best or make the most. My goals have become more realistic. I just want to stay disciplined to my approach and ...

Good luck with the new account! I'm also trying to find my way. My explorer has been live for a couple of months now.

After 12:00 on a Friday. 99/100 times you will grind your account to bits at this time. Shut it down and make it a liquid lunch.

Stay positive. "Many of life's failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." "Results? Why, man, I have gotten lots of results! If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. ...

Great job bro! Stay focused. For a brief second you made your balance public. Shouldn't you be on the October leaderboard?
- Smokeymar replied Oct 1, 2012
Yup, I'm in NY. Thanks.

I have never traded the London session, but I agree with you about the NY session. Basically, I wait until all the economic numbers come out and never trade after 12:00pm EST. On a typical day, I only have a 2-2.5 hour window to look for my scalps.
