I am lol...for accounts. There's one last confession...then we trade.

Low's Journal

As a side note, should anybody feel compelled to advise me, this is not a cautionary tale, sob-story, or cry for help. This is simply me pushing the reset button. And clearly identifying my location on the trader timeline.

So, this little story is both amazing and sad, depending on weather I stress how much I made, or how much I lost before it, and in keeping with the confession theme, I'll just be strait about it. My "system" has always had a high loss rate, but my ...

In regards to my previous (wrong) post about the success rate of trading in general, and where the stats come from, here is the only article I have found (thus far) that quotes actual studies. The conclusion seems biased when we consider what ...

And thanks to everybody who has wasted their valuable time reading this drivel. There are two more stories, then a post-game wrap-up/conclusion. And then I'll be moving this thread into the present, where time and price can tell you everything you ...

The next series of failures aren't really that clear to me. After doing sufficient damage over-trading gold, I quit trading until the new year, as December is pretty lame anyways. Time passed, trades were taken, some winners, some losers, nothing ...

Thanks for the kind words Smikester, by the time you hear the end of my story, you'll be happy with your results. I can't believe I'm still thrashing around with so little to show for myself. Technically my live account will be 2 years old in April ...

Thanks Calderone, I'll be putting up some charts later, and if you like I'll put them on your thread as well, I've just recently realized I don't "swim with the current", I pick bottoms and tops. An expensive habit that is....lol. Anyways, more ...

LOL, that's why I asked Malcolm about the DXY's vol. I been looking to short gold for a bit now, and high vol on the DX buy side would help with decision support. I'm still flat gold (and not a VSA follower, but I appreciate what Malcolm's done ...

It was shortly after that that I stumbled onto FF, and spent most of my time between Jacko's thread, and Chris' Silent Service thread. I really wanted Jacko's method to work for me, and spent a lot of time there, but in the end I just overtraded it. ...

Could somebody with a real (not only FX) feed post a DXY chart at the end of today? I just want to see the volume. Thanks in advance.

Silent Service Method

Hey Malcolm, Since you have better feed than me, could you post a chart showing today's volume on the DXY? I only use freestockcharts, which doesn't give accurate volume. Thanks in advance.

ATM we're seeing some nice reversal PA on almost everything dollar denominated except the yen, yet tomorrow is NFP...Bear trap? I don't really know. Because it's clearly a dollar driven, no reason to load the boat, but we could well see short setups ...

aussie, kiwi, euro and pound too. is it just profit taking, or an honest short signal?

Price is everything

gold is looking similar....hmmmmmm

Silent Service Method

If I remember correctly, the 95% failure rate was derived a study performed at a futures trading group, in a study done back in the late 80's. I could look into it further for something more concrete. But as far as I understand it, that single study ...

Silent Service Method

On a trading note, I would like a good signal to short gold a well, been watching for a week now. Today's unreasonable action may be a good place to look. We'll see how it closes.

This is a great post, thanks for sharing.
