  1. ... if I can't trade visually how the f*k am I going to do it writing code?
  2. That's all just a w4nky way of saying that you have no chance of making any money trading.
  3. There you go again with the bullsh!t ... So all you need to make money is a 'risk management strategy'? Tell us all about it.
  4. Well Patricia? What's your take on this whole unseemly business?🤔
  5. When? Oh I let it run out to my stop loss. . When my stop loss got hit I was spooked and closed my Wall Street trade, but that trade would have made me money if I'd left it
  6. I don't go lower than 15 mins chart (where you can clearly see the bearish turn). 1 minute seems to be for extreme scalping and for people who can afford to bet £10+ per point, so bagging 5 - 10 pips is worthwhile
  7. Helping people to cope with schizophrenia with talking therapy yes, CURING it I don't think so.
  8. I lost my nerve today. If I had kept my stops where they were and let the trades run I would have made money. (Except on the Nasdaq, which reversed sharply, but that has turned into a shorting opportunity on the day - so probably will get the money back.) Here we go, I've got enough mojo back to try again next week
  9. Well Tamsin sweetheart, the weekend is nearly here so it's not worth taking a short
  10. Towards the end she talks about a Manhattan psychoanalytical outfit 'curing' schizophrenia by talking. That is not a mainstream view ... she is quite possibly a chancer and a quack. But a well-paid one no doubt.
  11. Hmm. I'm short on U.S. Tech 100.
  12. I've never seen anyone demonstrate a consistently profitable system using stochastics.
  13. She started out as a trader and ended up getting a proper job as a career coach / psychoanalyst lol. Notice that EVERYONE abandons trading as soon as they can possibly find something better.
  14. If I can win ~50% of the time using discretionary trading on historical data, why not live data?
  15. Nothing 'simple' about that to me. If market constantly changes to the extent of invalidating a system then that just confirms that backtesting is pointless, then.
  16. I recommend using TradingView's 'replay' function to do 100 trades on past data. I think it's free for daily replays, unfortunately you have to pay for intraday replays but you can get a free 30 day trial.
  17. I've done two runs of backtesting using the replay function on TradingView (100 manual trades each time), approx 50% win rate in each and both profitable because of the 1:1.5 risk to reward ratio. When I trade LIVE, I don't even come close to a 50% win rate lol. What the f*ck is going on... maybe I'm just not thinking straight when I'm trading live?! I feel like such a dumb c&nt
  18. Well, I've had a wee five-knuckle shuffle and I still can't stop looking at the charts. I need serious help
  19. This is all a waste of time and money ... Really need to kick the habit.
