Falling asleep is the enemy. I missed this easy move!

**Mike** · 03-02-2010, 09:37

EURO took a hit an hour ago, and I missed the move due to sleep.

But if you take a look, it was really quite a simple short set up. I'm trying out the new FX Trend Bias tool which really is quite effective. Along with our other strength indicators, it really does indicate that price is about to go in the direction it indicates.

"Falling asleep is the enemy"
I agree...

It really is, because there's these trade setups that happen and you only have a small window to enter the trade. Every time I miss that window, I am always tempted to get in the trade against my own rules with the hope of the pair going further in the same direction, almost always at my own peril.

That's the name of the game, you have to be at the computer to catch the trades you want, unless you have automated your plan accordingly.

There's always speed, or espresso.

So, whats the solution?
Dont sleep from monday 0:00 to friday 23:00 (GMT)!
Thats it my friend... Just like the guys in the Elm Street movies...

You could always hire migrant workers to watch your computer screens while you sleep. But then will your stuff be there when you wake up?

**RolandPax** · 03-03-2010, 01:26

Can you tell me a software, which sounds when the price reaches a certain level? I use MT4, but i didnt found an option like this..
(i bet that, some other trading software have this option)

**RolandPax** · 03-05-2010, 00:18

I found it, in MT4 (...my friend told me)

**BigE** · 03-06-2010, 00:46

Yea, try some crystal meth, you'll be up for 3 days straight trading ... no sleep

**Jones** · 03-09-2010, 08:44

Ah, drugs will impair your judgment, Crystal Meth could make you so paranoid, you'll never enter a trade.

You can get a whole case of 5 Hour Energy at Costco!

**FXMatics.com** · 03-10-2010, 07:17

**BigE** · 03-13-2010, 01:43

Alerts don't wake up my boy Mike

He sleeps through anything!

I have the same problem, when I run to the kitchen to make a bite to eat and a pot of coffee. I finally got the wifi setup at home, so i now have a laptop in the kitchen.

Let's not advocate the usage of mind altering substances whilst trading, you must have a clear mind to trade effectively.

**TopTrader** · 03-15-2010, 09:12

You definitely need some caffiene to catch all them moves

**AARP** · 03-16-2010, 16:02
