You remind me of… well me…
When I ignore my rules the market knows and force feeds me some humble pie. When I follow my rules, the market may move against me now n again but generally speaking I profit, I definatly profit in the long run.
But I fell into a trap, blew my account, now, a week after I started pulling my stuffings togeather I need to more then double my account, just to get back to where I started… oye that stings. Hopfully a lesson I will never forget.
From the sounds of it you may have headed down a similar path before you started a journal?
Keep up the pipping! You know you wana take them pips… just not from me 
I didnt blow my account persay, I still had $1.20 left at my lowest… one of my biggest problem is psychological… My system works, my emotions don’t…
It took me so long to try to find a system and then I gave up, went back, gave up, back and forth for about 2 years, demoing diffrent systems on and off, untill I noticed somthing really stupidly simple. The market is more likley to follow its trend after a counter trend is over then it is to go against it. All I have to do is look for strong trends, wait for a counter trend, and then proof that its reversing… I just recently used bollinger bands(instead of moving averages)… but I dont use them for cross over, just as another point to keep in mind, sam ewith trendlines etc… seems so simple now, just wish i could get myself to follow my own rules… oye…
Although this past week and a half ive been doing good…deposited $20 and am up to $34 and I’m feeling confident enough to keep depositing money 
another $20 is soon to follow. Thankfully if I blow my account, honestly I’m only out about $100 right now…
Nice trade journal you got going on here…keep up the good work!

Did you forget you have your own thread where you can share your trading knowledge instead of derailing others’ threads?
I refute your claims that I derail threads. I have done nothing but offer valuable input to others.
As far as this thread is concerned, I have transitioned it over to the Price Action Hero thread.
