I am hoping that this to be my diary recording my progress in learning James16's method of Price Action (Pin Bars, BUOB, BEOB, etcetc) so I might have somewhere to review my past trades, and members knowledgeable about this J16 method can help me out from time to time!

My desktop. I began learning about trading in my final year of college (September 08) out of a teacher who has helped a whole lot in shaping my life and career goals. (I am 23, btw) He had been a big mutual fund trader back in the 80s/90s. I have hooked on stock trading. I read everything I could get my hands on in another 6 months, and opened my first live account in March 09. I don't know how many Canadians are still here, but it is called a TFSA - Tax Free Savings Account. I made some money. It ended up being a mix of my study , chat space calls, and other crap I came up with. Not a sustainable way to trade, but I heard some money management, the way to make use of stop losses and trailing stops, and penny stocks that are crazy are! (both good and bad!)

I moved to work at a prop trading company in July for a month, before realizing I had to learn a LOT more if I had been to get good at this game. I left there to do precisely that.

Anywho. I stumbled uponforexsoutheast.asiaand J16 while Looking for reviews on Van Tharp's trading courses. Https://www.forexsoutheast.asia/gene...imulation.html I began to read about J16, and so lots of people seemed to hold him in such high esteem, so I thought I would give it a read over. Needless to say I liked what I saw. I have tried all sorts of indior and desired that crap off my charts. I knew there was a way to trade price. James16 method provides to me.

I have read the initial 2080 articles in that thread, and currently keep up as best I could with the newest articles. I have read the Pin Bar intro (twice) and innovative that lwoo034 put together. I am curently working my way through the videos in from the J16 PF guest section. After I do this, and re read a few of this chart thread, I plan on linking the PF.

I have a demo account with OANDA and I utilize FXPRO's charts (daily pub ends at 5pm EST) I have made 4 trades so far, which I shall outline below.

I have MUCH to learn. I understand this is a long and chilling journey I confront. But I will learn this. I'll learn how to profitably trade the markets. My purpose is to trade for a living. I'll take action if it takes two to accomplish.

One of my favorite quotes on the j16 chart thread goes something like this: If there were a college program on the market that guaranteed you a thousand dollar a year income at the end, how long would you be willing to go to college there for?

Provided that it takes.

I have read James16's guidelines and rules to start this properly. I will deal with this as a business. I am currently in the Demo phase. I could demo for 3 profitable months prior to investing in a portion of my money. At the moment I am learning how the software operates, and also the differences that Foreign Exchange presents.


. . .Well, that came out longer than I expected. However, you know a bit about me.


Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice you supply, or even simply for stopping by and checking out my thread.

Cheers!
Andrew
