What I do is ALT+Print Screen to capture the image. Then I paste it into Paint (ctrl+v) . Then I will draw a rectangle around the bit of the image I really want, and crop the rest, then save that image to my pc. Then I upload that image to tinypics and paste it into my posts.
Hope it helps.

I can pretty much relate to most of what you said Scratch. I just wasn’t getting it with demo accounts either. I’ve downloaded a few trading books, (just in case you don’t know, if you go onto Jay’s unofficial book club in Newbie Island, ICT posted a link pretty early on in the thread that takes you to a web site you can download loads of trading books completely free. I actually downloaded a couple I was going to buy myself for Xmas)
Also agree in that I am my worse enemy when it comes to my trading. Don’t have a lot of patience, which doesn’t help sometimes. Also I’ve made a few decisions based on what other people have said that have made me think a few times about giving up the forum all together.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not using them as an excuse for me getting my trades wrong, but as you say, sometimes things can just mess with your head.
However sometimes it is just good to talk to other people about FX. Sometimes when I start to tell the wife about it all I can almost see her eyes just glaze over right in front of me. Either that or she just stares at me as though I’ve got 2 heads.
Anyway, talk later, off to bed now.

lovely action today right from the asian 1.2700 up to 1.2808 and then move down to hold at 1.2730s
.
industrial levels seem to be playing a major part at present probably always have since the dawn of time just i finally worked it out. even though Ict mentions it regularly so using them as my main areas of focus for now
overall feel for me is caution
but buyers are holding that bottom in place as it was a big range play last week caution all over and sellers
are eager to protect that 1.28 for now so nice range to look at for tommorow
areas for me to look at
support 1.27000/1.6651/126500
resistance 1.27906/1.2800/1.28171
pivotal 1.27532
keep safe
Patience/Discipline
remember Risky business
sure was a heck of a day as I posted last night Caution was my goal today thing is I totally ignored
It and got stubborn and tried to short the move up not 1 time but times wow emtions city gotta work on it.
what happened was got up early but rushed around to get ready for trade session and guess what just jumped in turned on
laptop and pushed a trade what the hell!!. It was like a inner demon must trade at all times, Its ok made back pips later on when i chilled out walked the dog drank coffee took a break came back in a better frame of mind. wow big lesson dont go near screen if mentally tired or rushed.
every day new advnture in the land of forex the more time im doing this starting to get what the pro`s are saying when they its 80% physcological so off to bed early to get up for LO thoughts for tomorrow are.
I am keeping the same chart setup it has not changed much since the begining off the week
sup 1.28171/1.28008/1.27348
res 1.28775/1.2900/1.29290
pivotal for asian 1.28597
am expecting some sort of retracement as that is 3 significnat days up but again price is price and shall do as it wishes
1.2800 still the key to moves as it has been for a while now
keep safe

ok back in the run have revised my trade plan and setup strategy. am changing onto 4h charts for these posts trying to improve my risk managment by stepping back into the higher time frame to see how this effects my trading.
looks like 1.30600 is going to be key for tuesday for resistance if this holds i will be looking for some form of retracment down to 1.2900
COT report is an interesting read as Commercials last week pretty much have all their interest in long and non-com are short
I would imgine there a lot of folk out there thinking wow this must be the high and shorting and then getting sucked in as it
goes higher I was one of them last week early on.
keep safe
Patience/Discipline
remember Risky business
Well that was a fun week went right back to basics. And came out the week not to bad going to post charts weekly as have stepped right back And taking a long term view to my short term trades to coin a phrase, from larry Williams . Look forward to see how it goes. The more I watch price the more ICT makes sense
Just looking for a bit of consistanacy now
