but my Stop changed to 10-points when I moved the slider and couldn't put it back. I didn't know that could happen. I knew i'd end up chasing the Stop if it kept going up to previous High. Smarter move was to get out.

the fucker looks like it's going down lol

I've proven my point to myself. I got out for -£2.80 I don't care which way it goes. It was a lesson to myself. Stop buying into Consolidation areas! Stop buying Slow moving Instruments.

Hmmm, I moved my Stop to see where it would end up now i can't move it back down. Is this right? I suppose it's the 6pt minimum.?

Well, I got it wrong. what would normally happen now is I'd let it Fail, then assume it's going the other way, for it to be Fake then drop lol. Then I'd end up chasing it............ Maybe I'll leave this one and walk away. I think I'll wait to see if there is a big drop and find a way to go Long instead. i know you're not supposed to move your stops, but would it be wise to move up up to 709? This is a £10 Stop for me. 10points. Let it Fail or Add? Just advice. I won't shoot you if you're wrong lol

Yes it was always possible. The recent News suggests a big shakeup. Could provide enough to drive it back up. Seems it's going now. There's my £6 quid gone.. Pooof I think for me with DB is I had no faith in a recovery. Looking at the Weekly, it's the lowest it's ever been; relatively. Since the big drop last week I figured it was numbered. I expected it to drop back to 580. I seem obsessed with Drops :O Maybe it can turn around.

Is this proof why I keep failing? Am I getting in too early before a clear direction is proven? Regardless of the direction on this one, it was necessary to prove what I keep doing wrong. Guessing instead of following. This will be the last time I enter a trade until the direction is clear. possibly another £6 lesson.

Thanks. and as a trade, where would the Buy'Sell position be? Or am i doing it wrong again by anticipating the direction? Am i too early? I thought myself it could go either way, but what signals are there if any? Recent news being Top Millionaire Bankers are being brought in to crate a Super Team. What Time frame should I be considering when looking to Place?

What I'm asking is, is there anything obvious in this that i'm not aware of, that i should be considering? I know it's a slow mover and with only £1ppp it's not going to make me smile after 4hrs. I'm just going over my own ideas to see where i might be going wrong.

How's this for a Trade Idea folks.? Back to DB. Any thoughts on it.

It certainly is. Knowledge is knowing, Wisdom is knowing what to do with knowledge. OK, pissi ng contest over. Di..cks well and truly shown. I have an education to acquire pronto. I have every day for this. My success is a few pages away. Here's hoping that's true. My greatest learn is not about Instruments, Indicators etc. but how I perceive the market and my approach to it. It's clear to me now that with only 1k I can only really achieve £2.50 or £5 in small amounts. I'm not trying to make back my losses, they were a lesson. I just want to grow from £953. Peace

I feel bad saying this now. Knowledge is knowing a Tom is a Fruit. Intelligence is not putting it in a Fruit Salad. Intelligence is the ability to think to analyse, to digest. Knowledge is learning. Learning that a Tom is a Fruit, for instance. You can be highly intelligent but know nothing. But you can now everything yet fail to be intelligent. But i get your point.

Agreed. The Ego is left at the door. Just try not to be such a **** about it ey! We're not the Market. We're people. I've started watching the YT vids you suggested. I'm 3 in. Nothing i don't know, but everything i don't apply.

This isn't me. I don't have a concept. is it going up or down 10 points? I can take 5 going either way. That's my Plan. I'm highly intelligent. But intelligence has little to do with knowledge. I've told you my errors. Pre-emptive Breakouts. Consolidation. Small Stops. Reversals. Betting against the Trend. I know time and time again what i do wrong, even as i do it. My problem isn't what i don't know, it's about what i do. I can read a chart. I know what candles are. I know Support Resistance. I know about Stop Losses and PL ratios. I know Spread and Bid Mid and Ask. I'm not at fault because of what I don't know, but what I do. Let's start again. You can be my Best Man if i ever get married

@Caseynotes Place any chart in front of me. I will plot it out from start to finish on how i would approach it.

I have said it before and will say it again; i thnak you for your effort and patience with me. This is not the first time I have acknowledged you. You haven't actually given any answers Casey that relate to ME, the Person, The Ego. It's not that easy. I'm not a number, I have a personality, a character. This is the fundamental curiosity before we even get to a chart.

Do you still want to help me? everything I post is pregnant with thought

@Caseynotes Stay with me pal. I do appreciate it. we're not robots bud. It takes time, erros, questions, understanding. It's not something you learn in a paragraph. try not be be so angry and frustrated. Stupidity is expecting a change because of words, not learning. You think i'm stupid? Wow. I learn by doing, by failing. Cost me 20k for U~ni degree, learned Eff All. Cost me so far 1k about trading in 4 months. I think that's a Good deal!

You are insulting. You're certainly not supportive. I still thank you for your input. As for being Polite and BS.....well. You said it pal. You can either Help or be Insulting. If you do both, it's kind of redundant. Psycho babble? Basic Human decency. Manners. Social decorum. Delivery, Politeness. Why are you here Casey? To Educate, to to regurgitate? Am I the pupil or the teacher? i'm here to find answers, yet you seem to have them all, so why are you here? As for account dying....I've lost more money on Wine, Drugs and corrupt biz partners. 1k.....christ it's pennies.

I'm going to guess you are in your 30's. You have trouble in social encounters and often feel alone. You think the world is dumb and you are smarter than everyone around. But you feel desperately isolated. Maybe you are on the Autistic Spectrum? I don't know. I'm just guessing as you have about me and what I've revealed about my Learning Process. You might have a partner, but you don't feel appreciated. **** life is sedated and often unfulfilling;; for them. You are self involved but lacking spontaneity and generosity. you feel like it's easier to belittle and prove your worth , that show support and humility. I'm guessing here. Maybe if you stop insulting clients asking for guidance they' stop revealing who you really are. But i do wish you the best. If all that above seem Random, it's not. Before i decided to learn about Trading, I was considering becoming a Psychologist. 6 years either way, I figured in time I could make more money this way. But everything I said above may be entirely wrong.; but how could I prove it anyway. I still thank you for your input Casey.

No, not within a few hours. I've told I've noticed this since I joined the forum. There's no doubting your input Casey. Not at all, but your Bedside manner needs some work. You can't offend me, ever. I don't take insults online by strangers personally, for that matter, to my face with people I know. But it's obvious you're trying too hard to save face after you attempted to insult me cos you basically Got it Wrong. Now you can't step back. I've encountered many many people like you in my life. Like I say, No humility. Yet here you are still asking for permission to be Right. You were wrong in your assumptions. You are still wrong. What would you like to achieve here? I'm happy to resolve any misunderstandings. Can I ask what you do in the real world and how old you are? It might help me understand your Sarcasm better!

You are incredibly defensive and seeking acknowledgement. I've listened to you and thanked you the entire time. I'm often met with arrogance ignorance and sarcasm from you. You assume knowledge is the same as Learning. It's not. You assume everything about me and know Nothing at all. Your opinion is based upon text only. you assume most of your knowledge and it's simply opinion. I've been very open in what I've done and why I've done it. I don't need your validation to know this. I'm learning. I'm happy with this. Thanks

I did Thanks

Almost every assumption you've quoted above above is wrong. Nothing else to reply. Thanks

Forget all that ****. Put some trade ideas up. Have a beer.
