This is incredible...

I just realize I have a special ability. Every trade that I take on FX...as long as I trade opposite from the way that I think the market will go...I ll make money!!!!!
If I think forex go up...I should go down...If I think it will go down...I should go up...Its like I have the ability to predict opposite outcomes. That or the FX market has some kind of grudge against me...its amazing!!!!

Didn't you know they have a camera in your computer room.

You should keep a journal of your trades in the forum for everyone to see.

[NesmithDJ]

If you really have psychic powers, you and I would be best friends. Oh yeah post your results on the forum so everyone could see how your psychic powers work.

It seems that from time to time I have those same powers. I wish they would go away.

Common. Every newbie I ever talked to has experienced the same feeling at one time or another. I know I have! It's in my journal. Not that mine is very pleasant reading sometimes . . . .

Actually, that happens to me about every 6 weeks or so, It means I have to stop and go do something else for about 4 days.
Once it starts, it just seems determined to do that for a few days.

(Notice that I take no blame for this myself)

I agree, don't put the blame on yourself. It's the damn market's fault. You just can't carry around that kind of responsibility.

Okay,..I was laughing when I saw this.
You'll think this is dumb but, when I first started trading, I was self-learning and I had a strange method. I couldn't wrap my head around the concept of making money when the trade had gone bearish. Maybe it's a female thing, but I couldn't switch the pair dominance in my head.
So, I would put about 5 varying degree sets of Bollingers on my chart, and a macd, and stand my laptop up sideways. Then, I'd imagine the price was a slaloming water-skier, and the furthest edge of the bollingers were the "banks" of the river my skier was in. Then, the macd would tell me when my skier would have to change direction.
I had a good grasp of candle formations,...only sideways. And there was no up or down, just right and left banks. I used S and R but considered them as "wake' so I knew my skier would have to jump over the S/R line to get any further in whichever direction.
Luckily, I eventually figured it out, but some part of my head still has the nagging notion that I can't make money when the market is bearish.
So, yea, I DO still sometimes have the laptop standing sideways while trading.

Now, I know you're all laughing. You're right. I'm nuts. (Thanks, Jarmin for catching me on this!LOL)
