there is no secret, believe me...you are correct

Successful traders are very, very rare to find

"One of the most frustrating (I would use a different adjective!) answers I've ever heard is that you're not supposed to ask Forex teachers to see their trades. This is probably the most strange/unfair argument I can imagine. This is not a joke! ...

has anyone EVER seen a successful trader/trading system?

I think it's kind of important to define what success actually is? What is success to everyone? I rarely post, but today someone said to success if if you gave 10,000 trades & you're winning then you're successful...is this success??

What is forex?

An interesting topic...I find it absolutely fascinating some of the stuff people type. Very interesting thought processes going on, and people's views on what they are actually doing.

What is forex?

It's a very familiar journey I think many people take, then they just give up at about year 3, a few will make it to year 5 maybe then just give up.

I understand your thought process. Back testing is good only for what has happened in the past. It's no indication of what will happen going forward. Believe me I've done a hell of a lot of back testing on different EAs. I've used EAs that have ...

Interesting thought you have here, 10,000 trades is a lot. I do approximately 5 trades a month if that, for me to do 10,000 trades it'll take me 166 years. Again reflecting on the 10,000 trades over 10 years that'll me mean me doing 80 or so a month ...

Jumping ahead but a very valid point, my target is 3-4% per month, anything more is a bonus, what is long run for you? And over what period must one be consistent to show sustainability? Thank you for reading

Another quick thing that kinda of annoys me is that if you're going to show people a system or try to teach people. Then why not use a trade explorer or a 3rd party to verify what you're trying to teach? Or am I being silly??? I understand people ...

So I went on to learn the basics, which was a bit overwhelming to be frank, however I put some serious hours in. I then came back here to Forex Factory & started to read about the trading systems. I thought wow if I can master & learn one of these I ...

I left this seminar, conference or whatever you want to call it thinking what fools wasting all that money in this rubbish. Didn't think anything more off it, or anything more about Forex trading. Few weeks passed, I spoke to my brother in law, he ...

I'm just trying explain here how I've got into this world of Forex & my situation from my trading journal. Sorry if I bore anyone before I start but this is just my journey. So late in 2010 my brother in law rang me on a Saturday afternoon, asking ...

If you have a vision in your mind that you're going to driving a fast car, having 5 holidays a year doing this, sitting on a beach trading. Then I'd probably stop reading right now. Yes it can happen if you're extremely lucky. But the chances are ...

Firstly if you want to be in a trade just so you can think in your mind that you're in a trade, then this is not for you. Many think you need to be in a trade to make money. But it's not always the case. Sometimes you need to protect your account ...

Sorry I've just seen the post, and I don't think I attached the trade explorer, bare with me whilst I try to figure it out, as I'm doing this from my mobile. Thank you
