Ive been trading/learning for 3 years/7 months… Sept 26th, 2010 was the day I googled, “Double My Money” and Forex came up, so I looked into it…
The first thing That I saw was, Robots, or automated Trading, so that was the route I went with right from the door… Spent alot of time figuring out coding, and how indicators worked with each other.
I spent upwards of 16 hours a day looking at charts, angles, indicators, and creating Expert Advisers/Robots. The only day I took off was XMAS… Even on the weekends, I ran strat tester in MT4 on Slow, and just watched the flow of price… There are sooooooo many ways to trade, its about finding what excites you as an individual. I love scalping, but I also scalp because it seems to be the safest way, believe it or not… You have no idea what the price is going to do, or you would be wealthy.
Now, back to my google, “Double your money”, brings me to being very comfortable with my 3 pip moves. 1.5 pip to the man, I double my money, PER TRANSACTION… I give 1.5 pips for the ticket, I sell the ticket for 3 pips. I got my investment back, plus enough for another ticket. Its just my logic… And if you followed my journey, my logic is pretty twisted from the rest of the pack…
See, if you have enough validation to throw money at a trade, why cut yourself short in the move? If you have any inclination that your trade might fail, then why invest in it to begin with?
You get these guys that trade with low units, then end up with a 100 pip move, and get really nothing in return… Im programmed for small moves, and I do wish sometime I can set there and watch a trade move 50 pips consistently, but Im already deep in the “Max Unit Moves” and the Stick and Move mentality, But if fits my hunger for the game…
I always practice to be perfect. You play to win the game… Im an athlete, I grew up in the competition arena. I dont like to lose… But it took some time for me to understand, that trading isnt a sport, its a business… But on the other hand, just like a boxer, you have to be willing to take the hits… It doenst mean your going to lose the fight, it just wakes you up, and puts yourself in check that, Hey, this sht will knock you out if you get caught slippin, lol…
Now, Im high Unit trader… I have 528 units to throw at a trade. Im thrown 527 at it, keepin 1 chip on the table… I have to be confident in my actions… And I do pretty good… My downfall is News. I dont know how to decipher it… Wehn i try to get into all the numbers thing, I just get lost, and it seems its all BS anyways… One time i was all set for the news, did research, this and that, was ready… I knew if the numbers were positive, I new how to react. Well, they ended up doing the oppisite, even tho, it was favorable, it still didnt go my way…
Then, I get into the, " THEY ARE TRADING AGAINST ME… I go long, it turns instantly… I go short, it turns the other way, instantly… Almost as if there was a guy just waiting for MoneyNVRSleeps to make a trade, then bet against me with a pile of cash… …
Then there was the stop hunter theriy. I cant even tell you how many times, I set my stop, and the price goes right to it, like a 10/th of a pip… and drops thru my ticket and into profit, like clock work…
alot of frustration, thats for sure… Then you get the flaming from forum posters… They helped me a ton, funny as it sounds… Some of my least favorite posters, tuned out to be my biggest influence in my forex career… I can honestly say, that if I ignored them, I might not be as far as I am today… I might not of taken alot of the advise, it wasnt really about that, but I posses a slap in the face, and woke me up alot…
again, just like sports, the fans screaming in your QBs face, it can get you either motivated, or make you pack your sht up, and retire… It doesnt mean they can play better then the QB, its just they arnt seeing anything of substance, and dont approve of your play… But in reality, they help you earn that paycheck, or make you rethink your career before injury,…
Its a wild freakin career, thats for sure… But I love it, and I never had a job where, Sunday, I would say, " Man, I cant wait to get to work",… Im ready right now to work, lol… I look forward to the work… Because I know someday, Its going to pay off…
