Hi everyone,
My name is Mike, I live in Los Angeles with my teenage son whom I home-school and I’ve been on Social Security disability for several years now. I’ve finally begun to heal enough to work at putting something together for myself and my son and so…
I blew out a demo a few years ago but I did learn some of the basics while doing so. What I’ve been doing since then is, well, growing up enough to try this again. I found ICT’s threads and wow.
I’m here to make money - consistently. Right now, I have nothing to offer and I’m open to any and all constructive criticism.
I’m going to set up to work only with Fiber and Cable for awhile, I’m going to start with $ 100.00 USD and I’ll form a corporation to run everything through.
With nothing to offer anyone as yet, all I can really say at this point is to those who have clearly put so very much work into this website, thank you.
I look forward to skirmishes with the “Central Bank”. : )
Happy Memorial day to the Vets too, and most of all, thank you.
Mike
Good choice Mike… perhaps the best two to start out with. In my humble opinion EU is probably the better one to read, GU tends to be a little more choppy. But none the less, good choice and good hunting!
Thanks R. I downloaded FOREXTrader Pro and I didn’t like it. Now I’ve got FXDD Meta Trader 4 (is there only one MT4?)
Yes. MT4 is a stand alone platform widely licenced to brokers. You might find the odd tweak here and there between differing brokers but essentially its the same.
Wish you much success Mike,
I have 1 key tip for you,
WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN,
You see something on a chart that catches your eye? WRITE IT DOWN
WRITE – DOWN-- EVERYTHING,
i have been in Forex for 21 months, I have averaged 1 notebook a month in notes, Even tho, I rearly go back to them, things process in the brain differently when you write it down…
Your definitly on the right track, since you drifted off, and came back, there is a reason,
Now do it right, ( Thumbs Up )
ICT has the goods, smart Man, Follow his lead…
Hey thanks guys. I want to be able to start out live with (if that’s what I decide to do) a deposit of $ 100.00 USD cuz that’s what I’m gonna demo trade with… Any suggestions?
NVRSleeps, you know, I’ve been writing down SO MUCH STUFF and I’m not even writing down [I]everything.[/I] I’ll fix that now, though and thanks for the tip. Big problem is indexing the information so I can find it later.
Amen to doing it right… : ) and I’ll follow ICT for as long as I can keep up… that’s [I]good[/I] stuff.
Mike
Yes, keep each trade to a max stop loss of 1-2% of your account balance. Don’t know your strat or preferred tf/tf’s but unquestionably the longer trend is currently south on EU & GU.
Hey Mike, dont even worry about indexing, just put a star on the top corner. See, what happens is, you go hunting for that information, but you subconcously see 30-40 other things while leafing thru the note book… Even tho your not reading it, your really seeing it, and storing it in the brain, without even knowing it,…
Like I said, the chances of you even having to go back are slim… Keep a seprate note book for Top Level Info, But have the special front page… These are things I read everyday… I know by heart, but still, seeing it, and reading it aloud, makes you a better performer on the field " Chart"…
Just take your time, focus on following ICT, Keep it simple, and let yourself evolve into a trader…
There is a process, it dont happen over night, Making the pips is simple, but making yourself the MOST DISCIPLINED TRADER possible is the challange…
Great Profits to You
