http://www.hectortrader.com is pretty good too. And he has a lot on youtube as well. I don't trade his system, but I find his methods very sound. And he seems very genuine. His name is WTB on these forums. Merlin trusts him, so he can't be all that ...

Something I learned today. (Another head piece from clockwork..)

Im not too sure how to answer this, other than read my quote. But lets be honest, indicators are basically just crutches. The only thing that EVER matters is price.

Exits: Our worst enemy

And I would add, that when you get this kind of action.....go fishing/shopping/whatever instead. If it isn't clear to you, then why bother? There are traders that are good in a sideways range-bound market.....but I am NOT one of them. I bet WTB has ...

Fibnacci trading..Are U thinking what i'm thinking?

Right, and I think that our discussion really cuts right to the heart of the matter. The truth is, no matter what system/method you use, unless you can see a good trade, then it's just a guess. Even under the best circumstances, and best set ups, ...

Exits: Our worst enemy

Yes, I have found recently that walking away is a really good way to make pips. I can't screw it up at all! Actually, I have been using 4 hr candles and weekly pivot points to good success lately.

Fibonacci obscuring reality

I have to agree with what some others have said. Try a small account, what the hell? Nothing more than a few hundred dollars to get the ball rolling. Because there is something you haven't demo'ed yet. And that's emotion. Demo is almost useless. ...

Do I need a reality check?

I only say this because this question is in the "Forex Beginner Q&A", so if you have experience in this market, please forgive me. But I am willing to bet that these "patterns" he is writing about are the seasonality of forex. (i.e., Swiss Franc ...

Oh hell no!!!! I just figured out how to make my first million. Thank you, and I will send you 1% of the door fees! Think about it: What this world needs is a big, cheesy, casino-style "forex resort". Free drinks, Wayne Newton, the whole sha-bang. ...

You have some big ones man.....and to be honest, I have been thinking along these lines lately.....hmmmm, getting an idea or two. However, as I am a chicken-sh*t, I am going to wait for a daily trend line to be hit in GBP/USD, or one of the others ...

Pip Farming: An Experiment

Wow. Thank you. It is indeed an honor, as I have learned so much from the good people here.

If I knew then what I know now

That's not true at all. I have magic fairy dust I sprinkle on my trend lines before I put them up. It is like a universal force field. FEAR MY BIG GREEN TREND LINES....

Fibnacci trading..Are U thinking what i'm thinking?

Someone once told me that if you get 5 Elliot Wave traders in a room, you will have 5 different waves. I don't trade it at all, and it takes too much thought. Much like that description of the GBP/JPY you just thought out. You want to know the REAL ...

Exits: Our worst enemy

90% of traders lose money! True or False?

If I knew then what I know now

Yes, in fact it really wasn't that long ago. I had gotten to a point where I just didn't seem able to come out ahead. I was getting better, as in smaller losses...but couldn't quite make it over the hump. Then I had my first "AH-HA" moment. It had ...
