Wow!! who would have thought you would have such a spiritual connection with the man trying to kill you by selling you packets of smokes

Trading outside the box on LSD

I have to say...this is spot on in regards to the way I think and the things that I tussle with mentally. My girl is an artist and knows all about teaching that "right side of the brain drawing"...I might get her to see if she can get my right side ...

Trading outside the box on LSD

I quit smoking after 20 years....no big deal. I assume by your comments you no longer trade?? why involve yourself in a forum devoted to trading?? Quitters never win

At What Point Do You Give Up On Forex

At What Point Do You Give Up On Forex

Maybe it's time to give up when you feel it's necessary to start a thread asking the question "at what point do you give up" I am sure pound trader knows it but for all you others......please just relax and dont jump down my throat...its a joke. ...

At What Point Do You Give Up On Forex

THis is a great post.....100% spot on....and anyone who tries to tell you trading has nothing to do with prediction is talking rubbish. IT's using data from past events to attempt to predict an outcome

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

What's better: A 1:2 Risk Reward Ratio applied to a method that has a 35% hit rate or a 1:1 Risk Reward Ratio applied to a method that has a 70% hit rate? The answer is neither. They both yield the same profit.[/quote] Well said.....

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Yes point taken in regards to the EA and discipline. I agree. I guess the basis of my post was that old saying.....a good trader can take a ordinary system and trade it profitably and an ordinary trader can take a great system and lose money. ...

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Are you sure about that? So a martingaling, averaging, nedging, overleveraged, scalper is trading the best way because he adapted a strategy to suit his personality? Yes I am sure......many traders succesfully use martingale and averaging amongst ...

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

This thread is hilarious!!! However all you guys really are in an absolutely futile argument/discussion. THere is absolutely no better way of trading than using the method/system/RR and MM that has been specifically adapted to your own trading ...

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

As you have admitted, none of us know which way the market will go at any given second.....so what YOU consider the market is offering you at that time is different to how everyone else sees it. So whilst YOU are seeing it as an oportunity to let it ...

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

I agree completely....R:R is for each trader to decide what suits his own trading persona and the market conditions he considers himself to be trading in. Its foolish and naive (or both) to say one is better than another.

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Could you please give us all the details of your system and instructions on exactly how to use it In all seriousness (is that a word??) yep sure...its quality of life for me that denotes success.

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Yep I have to agree with you on this one.....this game forces you to take a long hard look at yourself internally and more than likely do things you have never before contemplated mentally.....

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Nice arguments from both of you......I actually agree with you both.....a succesful trader HAS to change his mindset, particularly in regards to accepting the fact we are dealing in an instrument that we can neither predict or control, however we ...

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Yep I agree....I was merely stating that trading does indeed require an element of prediction.

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Every trade entered into has an element of prediction.....regardless of your method whether it be using indicators or candles or whatever.....once you decide to enter that trade you are placing an element of prediction as to the direction of price.

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Please dont take it as criticism. AS per your post, you are trading a trend strategy and along with that obviously goes a let it run attitude....and again...thats all cool becaseu it works for you....but as you mention...others may be trading ...

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

I am saying that it is futile trying to compare one trader to another ...whether it be an argument about RR or method or pairs or trading times.....whatever.......none if it can possibly be argued because we are all vastly different with different ...

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Crucial part of that statement is: "everything in my trading strategy" You havent missed a thing.....your strategy works for you and thats how it needs to be....if 1:1 works for others so be it....one is no better than the other....trading is ...
