Inner Circle Trader's Pro Traders Club 2012 - 2013 Series

Yes, BUT you move to country, and what do you get? effing farmers with their effing tractors and the smell that goes with it!

And I don’t care cos I got one of these :smiley:

Dont worry the ground will catch you everytime

Unless you’re a skydiver!

hey! my father was a farmer!

haha, while I was dreaming about tractor’s… Fiber is tanking… anyone catch it?

/DX 80.35 is getting alot of action

So was mine, he left me one of those in his will, mines got a safety frame over the top, I think it’s a legal requirement nowadays, I’m having a little trouble with the control box on it at the moment, it’s not charging properly, but I’m dammed if I can’t figure out a simple electromagnet combination before I pay £50 for a new one!

Well, it’s something to muck around with a soldering iron while you’re trading.

I know what will happen though, I’ll burn my finger, get an electric shock and order one on ebay and get the mechanic to fit it.

That is cool. I’ve been using an excel spread sheet with overlapping columns. That’s a great quick reference.

That’s it!

I’ve had it I have ICT to blame for all this that has happened to my account I swear stuff like this might have been avoided if I and most people have listened to people like JackMarkets, people who come in never trade, but only sole goal in coming to trading forums is to “expose” those phonies.

In summary I only have your methods ICT to blame for this

To be continued one second…

Congrats Tansen!

Lies lies lies, Photoshop again, nothing but a bunch of liars on this thread, always after the vent :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:


Here’s My Card

Have you ever been to a Specialist? Perhaps you needed a Medical Evaluation completed or a specific procedure done? Imagine how comfortable you’d be or how little in fact, if you discovered the Specialist you came to see wasn’t a Specialist after all? Would you hold the same confidence in he or she you initially had while driving to meet your appointment?

Now let’s contrast this with your Trading Career Development. Regardless of your current position in your personal development as a Trader… this one stumbling block has been encountered once or twice in every Trader’s pursuit to find consistency… the Identity Crisis.

How many times have you switched hats and changed your Trading style from Position Trader to Scalper or Swing Trader to Intraday Trader? How has this worked out for you? I’d imagine you felt the same feelings I experienced when I myself did this very thing. It can be very frustrating and stressful early on in your development and dealing with the “Rush” factor.

You cannot rush your development… you cannot hurry the process up. Each of us require specific time and pace to find ourselves. Your time should be spent developing a Trading Model that fits your personal style. Just because your Mentor trades a specific approach or manner, in no way implies you must do the same.

I get a lot of Traders in development contacting me on a daily basis asking what type of Trader I think they should be. This is an impossible task for any Mentor. I can no more determine how you should best Trade the Markets than you are at telling me how to be an ideal Neurosurgeon… it simply won’t happen.

Instead of trying to force yourself into another Trader’s Mold… discover how you think, react and feel personally and find a model that suits your unique Trader’s Profile. Over my nearly two decades… in the Trading world… I have learned that the closest thing to finding a unique approach is to reflect on your personal personality. What makes you… well… “You”?

If you wanted to start a company selling plants would you build your business plan around the process of selling cars? Would you advertise to the world you sell plants with ads showcasing tires and auto parts? Perhaps you like cars more than plants? Wouldn’t it make better sense to sell cars than plants? You would have a better chance of being more passionate and focused on selling cars than plants.

The business of selling plants might have been an idea shared or promoted by another person or perhaps a friend or family member trying to “help you” figure it out. This is a bad idea… and you can replace friend or family member with Mentor here. As a Mentor I am realistic and honest with myself and those who I share with. I understand I can’t force you into a specific mold… you know more about you than I ever will. This makes trading a difficult task not only for Mentors but for those in development.

This stage takes time to complete and you do not want to force or rush it. If you try it will only result in emotions running high, depression creeping in and an even greater sense of rushing will overwhelm your trading and thus you will encounter difficulties. This is all avoidable if you submit to time… take the required time and effort to find your unique approach that matches your life needs and individual psyche.

Forums are fun and I enjoy posting and reading others thoughts on specific things and processes. I witness folks take on a metamorphosis almost daily from being the “Authority” on Day Trading then the next day it is Swing Trading. Recall our initial question…

If you went to see an eye specialist for a specific need would it impress you if on his Eye Specialist business card he was a previous World Poker Champion? Most likely not… but folks like to be viewed as a “Jack of all Trades”. You just need to be a Master of One. Mastery of you and not a specific approach should be the starting point. You will discover how you should trade by learning more about you as the Trader and what makes you tick.

Once you understand the importance of finding your place in Trading and becoming comfortable with not being a Day Trader and missing huge intraday swings… while you are a Swing Trader of higher timeframe charts. This is a sign of maturity as a Trader and control over one’s self is obtainable… and thus should be a primary driving force initially as a developing Trader.

Now think for a moment… if you had a business card and you wanted the world to know what Trader you were… what would appear on your personal card? Would it say… Fiber Day Trader – Intraday Specialist? Or perhaps it might read… Kiwi Swing Trader – Specializing In Intermediate Term Moves? Whatever it is you determine you are… and what your card reads on its face… stick to it!

Lawyers don’t pretend to be Pilots and Nurses don’t pretend to be Iron Workers… they know their specialized unique professions. They understand what they must do to be effective in their field and tasks. It is clear to each of them what results will unfold if they try to be more than they are prepared to be and thus equipped to perform as. Do Lawyers quit practicing Law if they lose a case? Do Nurses stop nursing when a patient passes away? No they do not. However, Iron Workers stop working when they try to be corner cutters and fail to build safely. Pilots crash and burn when they try to pull stunts they know they shouldn’t.

Shouldn’t your Trading take on similar characteristics? Should you not have the same professional perspective one of these “Specialists” hold in their respective fields? When you sit down to exchange time for opportunity with the Market… you want to know and have complete confidence you know your “Identity”. You understand who you are as a Trader… and you engage the Market professionally and efficiently working within the specific processes unique to your Trader Profile.

You stare the Market down and identify your opportunity… when you identify it and it falls in line with your approach… you calmly reach into the Marketplace and state… hello opportunity… “Here’s My Card”.

GLGT :57:


Thanks for that. I am one who truly appreciates your time spent spreading knowledge. I intend to teach my friends when I get it down.
