And please don't call your self a newbie i consider you an organized thinker.
oh and about the trading this week actully i've done better in other accounts but i'm commited with the signals i gave so i don't show any thing but them and i'll appreciate if goined me here and lets make a team effort to amke this thread work out for better, as i'm convinced as Leutzuro said that you chose what suits you and what does might not suit another person, so thats what i keep telling the guys who come to me and say hey we found a great system and the guy who tried it said he's making 100% each month..i say good for him but when you have a good car why change it if you're happy with it, you might get it new tiers, new radio or sound system and do what ever but you never change the car it self..i remember this actor robert doval with john travolta in movie i think its name was civil acts, when john asked him why don't you get a new suit and a new brief case he answered him with this great sintence "you never cahnge your sox in the middle of a match".
i hope you got the idea and i'll be looking forward to your contributions

Hi cementman,
Thanks for your encouraging post. Well I might be an organized thinker and I might be a veteran in theoretical trading but trust me, I'm a complete newbie in live trading... Well I do have some experience in trading stock on Prague Stock Exchange but that was way before I discovered things like technical analysis, money management, discipline etc. So it was not really trading, it was gambling. I realized it and quit at a loss of 15% of my capital knowing that if I continued doing it that way I could earn it all back but with equal chance lose what was left... so I went to Forex and have been studying ever since then (nearly a year now). But I'm opening my live account now... The bureaucracy of it has taken some time already but it should be finally done next week. As soon as it is, I'll start trading SimbaSystem the way we developed it
I think you will make a great teacher, too. At this kind of forums, great teachers are those who are willing and able to think aloud, in real time. And you are. And, second, you'll have to f**k the lazy ignorants and disruptors who keep asking for clear-cut rules, EAs, and free money-machine. They won't come until in a few days or weeks. Now, in the beginning, they will hold back because they will be able to stay disciplined as long as this thread is brand new. But later, they'll get bored and desparate and start pushing into you. Please don't let them bother you. Whether you choose to f**k them hard like JohnnyDenver69, or smartly humiliate them by rock-hard arguments like Simba, or just ignore them, please don't stop posting
That's the only way to get rid of them without the hard-working followers losing their chance to watch you at work.
As far as your trading, I like the style of giving the market chance to breathe and reach the TP, yielding a high win ratio. And I know that can be good for maintaining my weak, beginner's discipline
So I'm looking for your further insights, knowledge, philosophy, and thinking aloud that would open some new things for us.
I think Simba would join us, too. He, and I too because I've been learning from him, is into cyclical analysis according to J.M.Hurst and John Ehlers -- the way he teaches it in his two threads. But this is not about systems, this is about knowledge that applies to all systems so I'm sure I can learn. And even if you reveal parts of your system, I like to at least check out anything that works (because most systems are overfitted and don't work
).
Thanks for your work and you bet I'll post what I think if I can. I'm just not sure if I should post it here or on the thread mentioned in your signature.
