Rich, I have been reader of your site for 6 months already, and I have been having both success and bad luck in my trading initially until I lost almost 90% of my trading capital trying to use Elliot Waves. Damn it, that’s the worst method/strategy out there. Now I am trying to recover. A while ago I discovered Nicotina’s strategy, http://forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=51365, it’s automated system and it has EA available. Since then I have recovered 68% of my initial capital (during few months).
The point I am trying to make:
It’s difficult out there, and it gets even more difficult if you don’t have confidence. I was not confident, rather scary after I busted my account. And what worked for me to regain that confidence was Nicotina’s strategy. You would be amazed on the power of a winning strategy over your “discretion” on the market. The majority of the wins came in situations I was SURE it will be a loser.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe in “discretion” but it seems “discretion” starts working only when you are CONFIDENT and play on casino’s money. Until then, you can rely more on automated systems.
Just my 2 cents as you are returning to trading after a long break. Best wishes in new year!!!
