Brenda

The way the market has been this past week I don't blame you for getting out there.
It is always frustrating to see a trade move like that after you have got out (hindsight is a wonderful thing). You have 9pips in the bank and that is something to be proud of.

Well done

Very true Richard! I'm happy to get the 9 pips. Actually, if I ever decide to risk 2% on each trade 9 pips would be close to 1% acct growth.

I wish I could say this was planned but actually I thought I had cancelled the buy order way back from the Blue Dot at 14:41 but I guess I didn't. Looked back at my terminal to see that I was up 10 pips so took profit. Sometimes we get lucky...I'll take it!!

Trade #1: +10

Consistency = Patience + Discipline

Consistency is a result of the deliberate process of engaging in an activity that is new and thus initially controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain (the learning process i.e. The Novice Stage) and upon the completion of mastering the activity (Competency) the process is over taken by the right brain, and hence an automatic form of processing of events begins. Thats where the gates to the sub-concious are opened and you begin entering a state of mind that is called "The zone" . While in the zone the "universe conspire" to do good to you. Your inner/higher self is connected to the supreme source and the source does and knows only one thing - Good! It is the state of "knowing without knowing how you know". Once your belief becomes that "The Universe is a friendly place" all sorts of good things begin to happen with or without reasons. It is an upward spiral that takes you from darkness to the lightened fields above - The Field of infinite intelligence - i.e. The state of being Enlightened One!

IMHO

cheers! May the pips be with you!
