that why im probably intrigued by the game, whats ironic im not even materialistic could nt give a monkeys about money, having freedom nice though
How long did it take?
Thats a good start , dont swing for the fences and trade what you see
10 months on demo… and still counting. 
i didnt mean that to sound flippant just the challenge is as important
I agree. The emotional and psychological side of things really has a huge impact. Still trying to sort that out myself, It also might take a long time to finally figure out how not too get too affected with each trade but at the same time learn from my mistakes.
Soon as I made this my job and started to follow a business plan , using the capital as a tool rather than income it became easier as never consider the money till I bank at the end of the month.

“Trading In The Zone”
By Mark Douglas
Go to youtube and watch every “psychological video” from Etienne Crete - Desire To TRADE
90% of this is your mind, how you analyze and control emotions, how you let emotions affect your processing of information.
You said a mouthful!
That’s very difficult. But definitely possible.
How long have you been in the learning process for?
I started just looking into forex and started my MT4 demo about 4 years ago before Trump was elected and I am now just becoming profitable with equities on a fidelity account and about to switch back to forex
Do you have more of a fundamental news approach or price action?
I’m mainly price action - however some fundamental events can’t be ignored.
Luckily fundamentals dont change that often - we are currently in a long term structural gold bull market as we are in a long term structural tech bull market.
I see. how long do you usually hold your trades? I like to close my trades within a few hours
I trade daily charts mostly.
I hope to hold my trades as long as possible but with the trailing stop strategy I use the market usually kicks me out between 2 - 5 days.
On the occasions the market is being very kind I get to be in a trade about 10 days
How big are your moves? I hate to tie one trade up for more than a day especially with limited funds…also do you trade equities with the same strategy?
How big are my moves? I can’t say - some are big some aren’t
However I trade predominately inside bars - meaning I can use tight (ish) stops and the resulting moves can be large multiples of that. I’ve a preference for volatility breakouts and inside bars are a perfect way to catch that.
I don’t trade individual equities but actively trade the NDX1O0
If you use candlestick charts it would be great if you could send a screenshot of one of your past price action setups including the timeline, your stop and your target for that particular trade. I will do the same …our timelines are vastly different and I would like to compare the two
And since you use a trailing stop just tell me where your stop originated
I never use price targets I prefer to let the market tell me when it’s time to leave.
I certainly would be interested to hear of someone trade the same systems I do but intra day - I suspect they wouldn’t work on the very small timeframes - on say 2 or 4 they might though
