No profession requires more hard work, intelligence, patience, and mental discipline than..speculation.

I find trading like body surfing, catch the right one and you will make it all the way to the beach.

Yeah, this consolidation and subsequent break that is imminent is surely going to push this puppy to R110 (and beyond maybe)!
Wow Seriously? My TP is sitting around R102-R104

Thanks P...Will try and reply later...but off the bat on those percentages are excellent(Average broker house only has a 40% successful trade rate) but your average trade gains is in not so lekker territory. iow..you win 7 out of ten trades but the it just takes the other 3 losses to wipe out your profit. Points to cutting you profits to early and letting your losses run too long? Not trying to teach or preach but we have been coming along a long long time
Hi C
Stats for last 115 trades.
68% Winning......32% Losing
Average pips Winning = 25 ........Average pips Losing = 63
The following context applies:
After having been on a losing streak for some time earlier this year, I took a break to re-evaluate strategy and to mentally recuperate. Took all my remaining money out of trading accounts and placed it in a safe place, in order to reduce stress about having funds available for future family requirements...and to build that up through normal monthly savings.....purely a mental health improvement strategy.
Tried to trade with a very small amount on a month to month basis, and saw that it was not feasible after 2 months or so. Then, since beginning Nov 13, used a slightly larger amount to trade. At the moment quite positive....happy with my trading plan. Mentally quite strong. Emotional reaction levels to trades significantly reduced. Confidence in ability to make up to 100 pips a day has increased. Therefore, with my quantum size account, I am confident that I can build this up to such a level where all previous lost money has been recuperated and I can tell my wife what I am busy with. LOL!
Areas to improve.
Staying in a winning trade longer.
Minimise occurrences where I deviate from plan
Faster mental switching between bull and bear trend changes
Minimise revenge trades
Reduce over trading levels
Combinations of the above
Must still to an analysis of when most of my losing trades occur. It has happened frequently that I was strong in the money in the earlier parts of the day, then losing all or most thereafter...and then making up some later again.
Overall I am in a happy space atm and with some further tweaking and continuous learning through experience it can only get better. Close to the point of becoming consistently profitable.
My appreciation to all posters on this forum .... loving it!
