Paul's journal [Brand New Pip Machine]

[immy]

Paul!

I have no words... without suggesting too much about your age, I have to say... you've put them guys to shame who say M1 is too fast or they can't trade and they are to oold for it... its just pure smashing stuff!

~~~ Respect ~~~

[Paul]

My thank's to all AIMSTERS for their encouragement and help. maybe I have at last found my true calling, I was a merchant seaman from the time I was 15 and saw the world (and learnt to say FOUC in 8 different languages ) I thank those who read my journal and hope it encourages them (age should not be a discouragement ) Have a great time with AIMS, it is THE way forward.

Regards to all Paul

14.20 Buy 11414 close 11444 +30

comments- the addon at 11.33 was just below the AIMS box at 11422 but was not triggered until 11407 maybe due to the sudden spike of the entry candle,
The last trade I took could have been better I got distacted and old habits came into play and I closed the trade violating my rules so.

DS 6/1

the number of trades is more than I usually take , will have to be careful not to over-trade ! My goal is 1% per day.

Inspirational Paul, you're becoming like the AMAZING DISAPPEARING FRAN who never ever lost,or do you only post the winners.
Your strike rate must be 99.999999999%, I envy you mate. (whew)

[Paul]

Hi Kooky , I have had losers ( rents ) for sure , now I am trading very conservatively and the rents do not really matter as long as I am following the rules , I can post the rents but as they do not constitute more than 15 pips maximum they have no relevance, I have disciplined myself after 3% loss (3 trades) I stop and take a break and have not suffered any catostrophic losses and I am not a newbie trader though I have just recently returned to AIMS, do not envy me aim (no pun intended ) to replicate ,I want to encourage AIMS members to post their trades and enjoy the process , if you see rents as negative you will bring fear to the table and then you start to doubt yourself and your abilities and the system and start to wander looking for the ' holy grail' . I want our members to be able to say if that old b*st*d can do it so can I . I am glad that you chose to make a comment and I want you to be encouraged too, to do better if you are not getting the results you want/need, go for it mate the losers DO NOT matter. Paul (hug) :-bd ( it's all mental mate ) If you are struggling I suggest you join the chat-room , you will enjoy it

Comments trade at 10.14 I opened the trade before the candle closed ( itchy trigger finger ) so technically it's a mistake so have had a good session now to help the grandkids with their English ( Auslish ) homework.

On Frankfurt open I was thinking that I bet Michael and Paul are long and it will be interesting to see their journals. Apparently you went long exactly as I did with the same exit. Short worked nicely even though the start was with itchy fingers.
