  1. Good post. Re: I recommend adding a few ‘complications’ - an important metric is how much of price's ‘travel’ you do and don’t participate in. This typically works out to be some permutation of how many potential trades you missed / how many setups and triggers you didn’t take This metrics opens you ways to access and assess own personal set of dynamics re: >strictness/looseness of your SETUPs and TRIGGERs, consistency of same, etc... >bodybrains states >and how well you recover - from wins and from losses, from victories and defeats, from rights and wrongs, from lucks and no lucks. > etc etc (btw it took sorties into the metrics of automated trading for me to really appreciate this metric in manual trading. In all my trading now, the only metrics more important than this one are measures of sizing precision...) other manual trading metrics that may be needed individually ( all trader&system dependent btw ) -how many trades you take that your entry leads or lags too much -how many trades you take that clearly don't make SETUPs and TRIGGERs threshold -many manual traders will see their overall performance go up if they consistently set their loss point prior to TRIGGERs work and entry... in some systems even prior to SETUP completion... if your system needs it, simply counting the times you did and didn’t do that will raise awareness... and frequency of the bhvr, etc.

  7. It is interesting putin didn’t man up and ignore the trick bs like he usually does... but I don’t blame him one bit for reacting Omg - The Hubris O - The hypocrisy Now that Trump's In Office, Media Suddenly Concerned with US Military Killing Civilians + The U.S. military's stats on deadly airstrikes are wrong. Thousands have gone unreported PS I would bet orielly apologizes when the kremlin “returns to the matter in 2023” - or will wish he had.

  18. FXeco, Good call. We need more professional experts. I am not an expert (anymore)... but, fwiw, I’ve been saying the Euro is trash since before it was 1.56 vs USD and have taken oodles and oodles of USD out of the market applying that bias... and see no ‘reason’ to drop that bias (yet). The longs I do in the Euro are 1/10 the size of shorts, etc... Re: “nobody knows what’s in the Trump’s head and how many surprises he prepared for us.” Nobody? Do you know his opinion about the Brexit?

  22. re: "Post #92... zdo has perfectly illustrated the point I was making about the feckless nature of "the news". This is not news you can use; just more pot stirring. It's laughable, yet sad at the same time." That’s a weird criteria - "news you can use" ???. Maybe you score some serious utility with the news but for me, 99.99 % of MSM is not news I can “use”. I find about 0.0001 % of ANY news is news I can “use” so re: “do yourself and your neighbors a favor and turn off "the news".” ------ It’s not “news”. It’s even worse. It’s “just sayin”. JP, in light of its even worse “feckless nature” you would probably be best served ignoring anything prefaced or followed by “just sayin”. It might stir your pot. just sayin
  23. I too am looking forward to trading the 'trump' years - even though it will probably not turn out like any of us may be imagining now. The automated FX trading has already been great since late fall just from the uptick in ‘price travel’. Finally getting back in the groove with ndx trading... I haven’t been around to trade much since late November - holidays, kids visiting, sick and dying friends, friends visiting from overseas, new office and hardware, and etc etc. and while I’m calling names jpeeny you are a White Helmet ;);)
