PS: ...have found that tripling a 5k a/c is easier than doubling a 50k a/c...

Very true this! One possible solution is this - use a trade copier that copies trades taken on demo to live account... Most of these are able to automatically adjusts lot size based on equity demo / live ratio... once you have doubled the initial live equity withdraw the initial amount, the rest is "free money" - after a while you will forget that the demo trades are mirrored...

Cheers

Thanks sympathy.
I think I'll give 9t another week on these four charts and then load some more up next month.
I'm learning a lot about trade psychology and position management at the moment doing things the way I am.
I imagine when I go live ther will be many more demons to face

Cheers,

I've been in a lot of pain the last few days from the eyes/(muscles around the eyes?). This has been going on for some years. Started off a few years ago completely out of the blue, with pain in the eyes, and then progressed to all my muscles becoming weaker, and generally physically and mentally feeling completely wiped out all the time (fatigued). which has continued til this day, without any answers.

The eye pain in the eyes is always there, but is usually manageable, but the last few days it went through the charts! I think I picked up a virus, which for some reason set it off. The doctors have done all kind of scans and tests over the years, but nothing ever came up to identify the root cause, and I think they gave up in the end.

My current thinking is that I may have developed up an allergy somehow which over a long period has been gradually wearing me down, and that is causing the muscle pain, fatigue etc. It's a long shot, but I'll be removing all my mercury fillings soon, just in case that is the cause, as they were put in around the time all this started. It is a long shot though.

I'm in Brazil now, so no easy access to medical care without great cost, as opposed to it all being free in the UK! Feeling unwell over a long period is frustrating, as pain in general and long term fatigue really takes it out of you, when all you really want is to know the cause, and then for it to be quickly be resolved, so you can enjoy life more.

Anyway.. Just a bit of background info for you all, no harm in sharing a little. Back to it..

A quick scan of the daily charts found a couple of pairs for the watchlist:

Could be an interesting setup forming on EURCAD on D1. Thinking of going long if price reaches 'c' again around the 50.0 fib line.

I'm uncertain on the EUR at the moment, as longer term it has been in a strong down trend (apart from recently where it has had a strong retrace (particularly EURUSD due to the weakening dollar). This makes me less confident when thinking of placing any trades, particularly on the D1. Any thoughts?

EURJPY looking interesting too. Looking to go long if price reaches 'c' around the 61.8 fib. Will be interesting to see how the EUR pairs play out over the coming days/weeks anyway.

PS. Thanks Dudest for your latest reply and charts. Really helpful.

Looking forward to trading with you all this week. See you all Tuesday

Andy

Most of us probably wouldn't be online at the same time, but for when we were, it would be a good place for some discussion in real time.

I'm currently a member of a skype VSA chat room, which has lots of members, and the trading conversation can be interesting sometimes.

Would anyone be interested in being part of a skype room (or alternative?) to discuss our trades in real time? (as well as posting as normal on the forum here of course). What do people think?

[just an idea]

you can make freely use of our board chat...
