I'm sure it happens to just about everyone. I nearly went broke in may. I barely hung on and have been doing decent since just 20 or 30 pips at a time. Of coarse I was riding high when I got punched in the face on friday. Hope you come back refreshed and ready to go.

lazy pennies did the same thing now he's flying high

I know exactly how you feel, Lazyman. I had to take a vacation from trading myself last year when things just weren't working out for me. I was taking way too many losses and I just got totally discouraged.

It was probably the best thing I ever did. I took a lot of time to study, play the demo account, and just step back overall to re-evaluate things. It's amazing how the pressure just disappears when you're not trading an actual live account. It allows you to get a real perspective on things without the emotions involved.

Good luck to you and if there's anything we can do to help, we'll be here for ya. :-)

Take good care! Like pennies said it was the best he ever did and so did I myself for over 1 year.. Only reading and testing and set up a complete new style for myself. I blacked my charts and began with zero and then tried everything I read in Hub or the world wide web. It was a lot of stuff and then I found this board. The best eye opener for Forex ever. Tried the EW and realized too complicated for me for now. So the fib rules and BUT I went over all studies in the box of the board of simplegreen. Step by step and changed when he changed and after a while i realized not all off them i could use. I began to private message him and others and suddenly I saw the great white light. I now use EMA 20 and 89 and 169 the macd 21,34,8 without the pinches and a Oszillator and Trendline studies from my chartist ProRealTime. Now it's working so fine. I' m mostly scalping but at one weekend in the past I realized after some comments on the board that there pattern on 15 min too. What you need to tell you yourself my friend if i may tell you:

1. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
2. Step back and go over yourself emotions from A to Z!
3. Believe in you cause I think you already knew how to trade BUT you need the absolutely Confidence in yourself and the action you are going to do!
4. Be smart and take it small and simple!
5. Be absolutely HONEST and MODEST to YOURSELF!!!!

YOU are doing the right thing and you know before it can get better or freakin fantastic easy and better it has to go worst first of all.

I think this is a absolutely FANTASTIC board with so much super knowledge and heck
The Personality here are truly a blast!! Let us know how you are doing from time to time!!

All the best to you and talk to you soooon again :-)
