I need motivation :(

Hello fx-men. Its been 3 months as i switched to real account and it seems like I would never be able to make a good trader. I have gone through Pipsology school and have read several books about discipline but somehow i am unable to follow discipline.
At the time being, i feel unproven, unskilled. It really hurts when you know you can do something but you are unable to accomplish it. Same is the scenario with me. I want to be a successful trader and want to generate some good results. My account statement is attached. I would highly appreciate and try my best to follow any suggestions given by you.
I may hear that i am trying to be rich very quickly but its not about just being rich, i have tons of uncompliled information saved into my mind but I am simply unable to implement it. Please help

Take copies of all trades you did , study them, Try to find the progress you have made ​​from the day and three months ago.:33:

Your account statement doesn’t tell anyone why you got into the trade. Your account statement is the result of the trade.

Without knowing anything about why you took any trades in your account statement, I can tell you your risk is way to much. If you look at your account you can see all of these little wins, then a big loss that wipes out your wins.

This trade 440305050 eurjpy. How did you come up with a buy at the time you entered it along with your take profit and stop loss? I tried to figure it out using 4 hour and below and I get nothing but sell signals. If you used the daily again How did you come up with these numbers and times. Don’t just say price action. Detailed reasons will get you the most help from the other traders; it’s free so use it :>)

If you want the most help,

  1. How you decided on the pair
  2. What time frame or frames you used
  3. How did you determine entry, take profit and stop loss (more details the better)
  4. What if anything did you use to confirm your trade
  5. What are the rules for your trading method. (again more details the better)

you doing ok i think your problem really psycho . when you win i sure you take profit to early , and when you loose you just staying in the trade hoping for reversal . work on it exit fast when loosing and waiting when winning and you will be ok

Thank you very much friend for such plethora of information. i will definitely study all my trades. but is there any way possible as i could export the trading data from MT4 and study it on some other charting software or i have to study it manually one after one … ?

Thank you Sir ! For this very trade, i was using 5min chart



As price went down, i speculated that the trend would continue after price would bounce from Daily support and Weekly Pivot point. It actually did the same thing but my Lot Size was way too high as compared to my equity and i closed the order by myself.

Thanks Dani, i guessed it out all right. The point of pondering is how to overcome tihs problem ?

Keep a trading journal and review it every month, point out your strengths and weaknesses and repeat what works. Also never stop learning new strategies/set ups, the day one stops learning is the day one stops growing. Also maybe backtest your current strategy to see if it still works in the current market condition.

Hey bud, First off, dont get discouraged. There is very little room for that in Forex…

#1, switch to 15 min chart.
#2, use multiple Stochs, if you like stochs, which I do also.

Let me show you my chart, with your trade,

Now, you can see, by using many stochs, it showed a better entry, and would of kept you from mmaking this trade to early.

You have to keep notes ON YOUR CHART, so you can review them, or look back… Its a virtual, VISUAL notebook,…

Here is my chart

Now, here is your pair on the 15TF

9 stochs

6-3-3, Main=Yellow-#3 bold — Signal = Black
10-3-3, Main=Lime----Signal=Red
11-3-3, Main=Lime----Signal=Red
12-3-3, Main=Lime----Signal=Red
13-3-3, Main=Lime----Signal=Red
14-3-3, Main=Lime----Signal=Red
15-3-3, Main=Lime----Signal=Red
16-3-3, Main=Lime----Signal=Red
17-3-3, Main=Lime----Signal=Red

The Blue is the ASI indicator, which you have to download, Accumulative Swing Index (ASI) | Forex Indicators MT4

Now, Im not saying , this is the grail, but What I want you to see is, there is a better way to use stochs, so understand that…

Now, here, because the ASI is high, Im looking to short,

Was in the trade, but I only use trail stops, so only got 8 pips, but getting more confident in my S/R lines, and going to looking for 1:1, so pertaining to my set-up, I should of gotten 11 pips out of it…

This current test of this strat, 9 days, 34-0 up 49%,

U will see in the stoch wave, tight = fast, and when you see waves of stoch, then that is like the crashing on the shore, and look for a range,

Just tinker with it, Im sure it can be of some help.

Great pips to ya, and keep your head high, this isnt an easy career. If it takes you 4 years to get it right, so be it… Babysteps!!

Also, i want to add, you MUST zoom all in, then out 3 clicks… That is the correct way to read the ASI. Then zoom in 1 time to set up your trade, to see better…

Another thing, The stoch gaps… When you see a gap in the stoch,
usually indicator a retrace or reverse

wth? Charts on LSD?

In my opinion much better if you will not afraid and mentioning always your fail…actually as they says Champions are not men who never fail but men who never quit.Try to study your progress and create your own simple chart of it.You already at running progress and you’re doing great already.Put always positive not taking it negative mindset.

A bundle of thanks to you [B]MoneyNVRSleeps[/B]. I am definitely going to drop all these stochs on chart. As an intraday trader, should i stick on to 15min chart as a main entry rather then 5min and should be looking back and forward to 5 min, 1h and 4h charts for price action ?

In order to keep notes on chart, should i take the snapshot and save it or let all the notes remain on live chart ?

This priceless tip worths more then every single dollar i have lost so far. I am surely going to study multiple stochastics.
