descartes

Actually i disagree with the statement "Whichever way you do it I think you need a target before you enter the trade because it's difficult to be objective and rational when you're in a trade." If you have a trading plan and believe in yourself then , you should remain "objective and rational" when in a trade. Not trying to be rude but just pointing out that in my experience men are much more rational and objective than a woman. But thats a thought for another post :-) With regards to targets "notouch" does actually have a point but he forgot one thing : what target will i exit at ? You would be surprised at how many people actually pick good entry points but close the trade at the first sign of profits and end up kicking themselves beause they did not trail the position.

Not that i am aware of. I actually asked my broker and they told me "no" , they would not give me that info. But then if you look at charts, it should be easy enough to figure out where about 70% of the action of buying and selling is.

It was interesting to consider what the other posts have said about interuptions from the wife / girlfriend / childeren. I have left my job after almost two years and from this friday I will be trading forex fulltime from home. Before I agreed to move into my girlfriends house , I made it clear that I want no interruptions at all unless it is very serious. Since she will be gone from 8am GMT until 1800 GMT , thats not an issue , but it is something to keep in mind. i know exactly what you mean by being in the zone, I have can be very intense and silent studing charts and price action and when i am thinking and i find 10 to 25 mins of time wasted trying to get back to the zone for each inturuption.
