@Cindy and Nubcake, People who trade without charts successfully usually are those who rely on other types of information (other than the mere graphical representation of past prices), such as insider info, news/news to be released, etc. etc. Some ...

Good reply Cindy. Keep one thing in mind though: "Those who say, know not. Those who know, say not." -Lao Tzu (most of the time anyway) And good luck with your journey. Ah, my bad. I will amend my post. haha, indeed (if you want to put it that ...

CindyXXXX, I'm relatively new to this forum, but you sound like a smart guy with passion and potential. I like it when people share their experiences, both good or bad. I do however think that you're wasting too much time with this. Listen to ...

Let's be Honest

Just saw your post nubcake, spot on.

Ridiculous Trading Myths

The holy grail is a term that, when used within the context of trading/gambling, refers to a system/method/strategy/style/whatever that wins consistently. I'm saying that it's amusing to hear people say there is no holy grail, you just have to win ...

Ridiculous Trading Myths

Last time I checked, winning consistently = The holy grail.

Ridiculous Trading Myths

Best post in this thread/forum.

Let's be Honest

This one always gives me a laugh: There is no holy grail, you just need to consistently make more money than you lose.

Ridiculous Trading Myths

No, unless you trade during news times.

lol, well said.

Ridiculous Trading Myths

Yes but both are more likely to still risk 1-2% because that's what the common trading "education" says you should risk.

Ridiculous Trading Myths

That's just typical wishful thinking. It is neither about their lacking patience or discipline or whatever we want to believe. The reality is least discussed or accepted because it is less appealing to the wannabe dreamy trader or the ...

Ridiculous Trading Myths

Ridiculous Trading Myths

Unless you can't handle the emotional swings, it doesn't matter if you lose 65% as long as you have a positive expectancy ensuring that you'll win in the long run. Call me aggressive, but I believe that if you have an edge, you should make the most ...

Ridiculous Trading Myths

Yes, that was my impression. lol, you got that right. It's the typical newbie attitude. It's also the reason I never trust br0ker reviews and places like "Forex Peace Army" and "Forex Realm". They're never objective, only filled with newbies who ...

OANDA Discussion

evil-brokers-who-took-my-money.com Of all the dickhead posts you've just made, this is the only thing I agree with. Just stay away from news releases folks.

OANDA Discussion

Some ridiculous trading myths off the top of my head: Price is not mostly random. Discipline/psychology, and money management are the keys to success. Money management alone can give you the edge. You need big capital in order to be successful/have ...

Ridiculous Trading Myths

You don't have to either worship the br0ker or hate them. Criticism and feedback is essential. If you have any experience with retail trading, you should already know that there is no br0ker who is 100% perfect. If you seek to trade with a market ...

OANDA Discussion

Agreed. For some businesses, being already widely known and successful is the reason they won't work their asses off to improve their (already selling) products. Like I said though, in my experience with internet-based br0kers, shit will pretty much ...

OANDA Discussion

If that's what I wanted to say, that's what I would have said. Ok here's another post of mine that probably better explains my point: I am sure that the percentage of people who actually LIVE off of forex trading is even smaller than 5%. But when ...
