Do you suffer from this disease?

Its called “Indicator Junkophitis”. A closely related disease is called “Expert Advisor Junkophitis”

Symptoms include:

• Navigator window of Metatrader platform contains minimum 500 indicators and you don’t know what 95% are or how to use them
  
• God-like worship of forum members claiming substantial increases in capital
  
• Trading activity has diminished substantially since receiving so many indicators
  
• Appx. 10 hours/daily searching for the "next best thing"
  
• Excessive excitement of holy grail indicators (then finding out they repaint)
  
• Picking fights with forum members that have an “agenda”
  
• Start posting trades to enhance self-discipline, but when they all start losing, you stop posting
  
• Sending private messages to members claiming coding ability, demanding they code the indicator you saw in this month’s issue of “Currency Trader”
  
• Modifying trading activity statement and posting online to enhance pride
  
• Posting thrashing criticisms of forex systems/ea’s you have purchased when you fail to use them as explained (or without previous investigations into the systems)
  
• Indiana Jones found the holy grail. Why can’t you?
  
• Wife is gone. Kids are gone. House is gone. Car is gone.
  
• Backtesting results of ea show no losses. And then one day you get a margin call, and the rest is history (wish they said something about that rascally drawdown)
  
• Loss of eyesight from staring at computer screen
  
• Increased sense of introvertedness

Cure:

1. Take 3, 4 tops of your best indicators, attach to a chart
2. Watch price action
3. Buy/Sell pullbacks
4. Take profits and get paid for trading
5. Repeat daily

Thank you.
