So happy for you, I also see you much more relaxed in what you are doing, you take the good and the bad at the same way and this itself shows how you grew up! Great job today, your trade was less easy to take then you described
Your landscape and view a bit better than mine. Also you are pushing it more. During summertime I tend to run 7-8km as well. But I have been realized, I was getting tired for the afternoon session. From weightloss point of view it was a huge. In 3 month I have been lost 15 kg, but from trading perspective it was not profitable. So I am concentrating for a good run, try to do it every day, before trading - if I am not running at least go for a good walk Consistency here and in trading is the same thing for me.
But I am super-jealous for the landscape
Sorry guys. No time for trade today. Did not even meditate. We have workers at home, they are changing our windows, to do not get freezed out during winter time.
Missed a nice entry, missed my 25 tick profit, so got out. Market is smelly for me for a drop, dont want to overpush it... Sorry to dont see a nice clean disciplined trade. This is what it is...
Hm. We have been dropped like a rock yesterday (250 tick or something like that...). Oke oke not after this one, after the next one... But my sense was at the right place at the right time...
I missed the runup, got out to early, was not fast enough and brave enough to move away may profit target. I was happy with a green dom, even if I would know where we are heading. Anyhow, clean and nice day. Should have been played a bit better, but I am oke with it. You can call it, ah it is crazy, ah it is rollover, we are after a drop bla bla bla... Yes all true, but the entries are entries, and the market moves are market moves. So missing this runup, was costy for me, (200 USD at least) but building the confident, and reading right, and reenter long is more benefitial, than anything else! Consistency every day, is killing any kind off big fish hunting. I will be there. I told you, ONLY THE TIME IS THE FACTOR!
Time to time I am seeing new people to join to this thread. This is great! I am trying to highlight major milestones in the summery page of this journal, to make the reading easier. I will also collect someday the most thanked posts also, which maybe worth to read, till that, use the summery:
Long time to see you Mr. Anderson, right? After a lots of learning curve, and going up and down, mostly break even, I have realized I still need lots of learning, to sharp my trading skills. I had 3 mental breakdown, for 1-2 days, when I was feeling that, …
And thank you for join. Please do not hesitate, to ask question, or send me PM if things are not clear, but also please take time to read first, to understand things first, before asking
I made some comment on this thread recently ( ), which makes me remind to write this post. So here is my confession list:
- In the begining I paid hungarian company to teach me forex (profit.hu - onsite training). My journy has begin here, it was a …
- About trading systems and different styles here at nexusfi.com (formerly BMT):
Ugh. That's what I am talking about baby! A hard day, a long day, a green day. I was trading more than 90 mins. As I did promised last week. I am not saying without an error, but without a huge mistakes. Here is the report:
I met a friend today. He was one of my old customer and he used to work high position. He was a good man, nobody liked him because he was strong and agile. Then he got fired, but he got enough savings to do not think on hard work again. Anyway after 5 …
Oh ye baby it is happening. I believe everybody has his own dream. My biggest dream is to help people. I do know that I am not able to help everyone. During my professional life I have been faced many many challenges during delivering projects, creating …
- out from the water after changing to Russel from YM:
No doubt, I am not fully satisfied with my progress, but I am very-very proud of my self. I was just reading some memo from the past, 1 years back. I was checking some personal blogs, and setups, and Oh man. I have been improved so much. Really so much... …
Not so important:

You are a great trader and I think you become greater trader every day! I appreciate all your suggestions: Lumosity, Headspeace, Runkeeper...What books inspired you or what books you read ? ( I read all the journal here I hope I did not missed that info somewhere) Adrian
I believe the greatness is trading comes with time, but thank you.
About books: I do not have good answer for this. In the begining I was trying to believe it is good to read books, but for me did not played out well. We are all different, and based on this everyone has to find his own best thing to do. What I love about books to read is the ideas, and not the solution. I am giving you an example:
Reading Van Tharp till he is giving you an idea about the R, and other thing is good. I am not using them as it described in the book, but I do aware of that, what is it used for, so I tailored the information to my use. But, reading for 300 hundred pages about this concept is get me tired.
Otherwise, reading market wizards Jack D. Schwager is a great pleasure for me, even if he is not giving any solution, but highlighting a lots of interesting view and thinking around the market. So for me is reading books is to get experience from others, and not solutions.
This is the main reason, I am trying to not read trading related books, or listen podcast, I am trying to read, and listen other stuffs, ideas, stories to keep my brain thinking and processing information, and not to get solutions from others.
