Interesting thought but a little far from the mark, Roztom, this more basic psych, than actual, the extremely bad habit of second guessing yourself & thereby turning a good trade to bad, relates more to personal self confidence than anything else ie: you knew the position was good when you placed it........then self doubt kicks in :doh: Fairly common mistake I usually tell noobs to try a little hypnotherapy, Paul Mckenna is a good example..... But then I've only been trading 25 years & have psychology as a major so what would I know :missy: I'm sure some armchair trader with weeks of experience will always know better

What is this amateur psychology pap, really? .......I have a friend that teaches Psych @ melb uni if you want to take it up with him it make me personally uncomfortable @ £100 a pip because UK brokers have a habit of putting you on manual handling...if you trade like that for too long & that can really damage your profitability (avg being 4-6weeks) on your points, sorry to disappoint you, I do know what I'm doing & I haven't overtraded since 2003.......(& that was a busy day).:missy: As for the market catching me really???....:rofl: your philosophy not mine but then I've been trading for over 20years This is not supposed to be a slagging match after all I have fond memories of newtown :boxing: I was just making the point there are a few good mentors out there & a plethora of scam artists

Unfortunately there is a wealth of misinformation in the market, Tam I find following trending is the easy part, as its usually good for 200pips a day however it does get uncomfortable @ 10 lots a pip :missy:

" you can't buy someone elses experience." No but you can learn from it, unless you're incredibly opinionated or just plain thick. I know a retired fund manager that has been conned into to mentoring after his ex-wife thoroughly reamed him in court :doh: But he does not suffer fools, so there are some good ppl out there, but the vast majority are just leeches, selling a service with zero knowledge/experience to back it up......
