Pepperoni and pineapple please

ok here’s the truth:

i’m jealous of rich people, since my life is very stressful because of my situation. I just want less stress, I’m not starving or anything.

I’m a smartass, even when I’m knocked out on the ground. (think pvt. Joker) but who knows, maybe it’s just me dealing with stress… I CANT TELL because it’s all I’ve known for years.

If you gave me the money, I would accept and I would pay you back. There’s no question about that. I’m sure in a few years I’d feel ashamed, but to me, right now, it would be worth it.

that’s as honest as I can get man

then leave me alone! we’d both be happier

You still are assuming I have the means too… Lol I haven’t made any claims of wealth

a no-risk assumption!

your availability to post on this forum suggests you have a pretty free schedule that a workin’ man couldn’t replicate LOL

so maybe you’re just unemployed? haha

seriuosly though, you could clearly compound yourself into wealth in a few years with your skill

If its possible… Then you should be able to replicate it no?

I

It does make a difference, but the stress of debt is very much working against me. Maybe I could replicate your compounding if my debt was reduced… I’m sure you don’t pay all your spare money to debt do you?

I just need to get a foothold on my situation, then I can be the best trader I can be, and likely compound the account in 3-5 years.

Let me ask you this… The $500

no, I won’t need to take it out. I actually withdrew $3,000 from my account and already put it towards debt. The $500 is the leftover that I felt comfortable keeping there

Alright… So the pressure of debt shouldn’t be affecting your trading then.

If you are still unable to get to that point in your trading… You could be debt free yet still feel poor and stressed because your trading isn’t providing the lifestyle you want.

well I did assume the pressure would be a negative on my trading, but I guess it could work to my benefit.

I think the next 6 months will be the toughest. I can imagine… If i can double it to $1000 I think that debt will feel a lot smaller.

You’ve got 5+ years of trading experience… You have to have an edge by now.

Purge the ICT garbage and you’ll be fine.

haha we got pretty far without talkin about ICT. I’m not worried about my edge…

yeah I’ll be fine. it’s good to hear someone else say it though

Hi Pizza,

Over the weekend I am going throught your thread and reread everything one more time. And maybe I will come out with few questions if I will need it. Hope you don’t mind. :slight_smile:

However if you have time I have one question for you right away. Basically you trade the fundamentals. You find the strongest currency and the weakest one and you trade the pair.

But where and when do you enter? Do you enter right away? Do you randomly enter or do you wait for a retracement?

Like at the moment the strongest pair are GBP and NZD if I am not wrong. So you could maybe combine them vs JPY or EUR.

But they moved already a bit. So will they keep moving in the direction or are they due for a retracement? I know your TP is pretty small most of the time but sometime if you enter with the wrong timing you can see the pair going against you for a lot of pips.

How do you deal with it? What are your thoughs before you decide which pair to trade and how do you enter it?

An answer would really help me out. If you have time of course. I know it is the weekend and it is party time! For you! :stuck_out_tongue:

A couple a factors that I will look at when trying to decide when to place the trade…

Nice! So the $290 deposit was to get the account to $500? Or now the balance is $790?

I took it right down to $200 for a few days to get myself adjusted, then took it up to $500. It sits at $541 currently.
