Luckily for me, I don't need you to trade. Given how empty your posts are, we'd still be discussing how to define randomness in 2017

Forex Dream Chasers - The 90% rule of randomness

Or, to save useful time away from this thread, just trade in the direction of the weekly/monthly charts by choosing the right entry points on the 15mn/1h/4h charts

Wow.... Simple, modest and compassionate

Forex Dream Chasers - The 90% rule of randomness

Gobigfx, are you trying to make a point or just ranting? Of course the market is random most of the time, most traders here understand that and look to capitalize on the few daily/weekly/monthly occasions where probabilities favor a direction on a ...

Forex Dream Chasers - The 90% rule of randomness

Zeno was part of the Sophist movement and their motto was "man is the measure of all things". As such, they don't abide by fixed norms and any truth (even mathematical facts) can be disproven when tweaked with a change in the perception a human ...

The Illusion of Motion

I guess the generic answer is "when you no longer find in trading what you were looking for"... - quick way to riches - adrenalin - independence - gambling - leverage - a sense of being in control of your life - steady and predictable income (good ...

At What Point Do You Give Up On Forex

I think the fault resides in the original post of this thread where roofx has been very generic in his affirmations. A RR of 1 works, so do other RRs and, in some cases, a pre-set RR is not recommended. Like any argument which has faulty premises ...

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

Dean, You are right in the sense that anyone can have their own strategy provided it works for them. However, I was under the impression that threads such as this one were used to confront views in order to help the community through individual ...

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

I must clearly miss something because trading with a R&R of 1 implies pretty much the opposite of everything in my trading strategy. Maybe this is because I am a trend follower as opposed to range traders but I fail to see the benefit of limiting ...

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

Hard to distinguish between system and psychology. Once you have a system you are 100% comfortable with (i.e. where you are psychologically ready to take losses given that you know you have a positive expectancy), there should be no room for ...

Clearly, today is not one of these days...

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

Thanks. I used to use your strategy for a while and it works nicely indeed when one masters one's technique. My problem was the re-entry on the same trend and, more generally, the trading frequency of this strategy. I now trade less frequently (say ...

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

Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to patronize you or anyone about their strategy. If that works for you, I wish you the very best. One's entry point is someone else's exit point, and so on...

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

I hear you, but how do you feel when the price goes your way another 100 or 200 pips after you take your profit? Wouldn't it be a better use of your successful entry to let the market tell you where and when to take your profit?

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

I guess this need for a preset R:R stems from the human need to "feel" in control of its environment. The sooner one realizes such control is an illusion, the faster one progresses as a trader and, more importantly, as a risk manager IMO

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

While I appreciate the need to set stops and targets in a trade, I fail to understand how one's arbitrary R:R rules really fits in a market dynamic. I personally see R:R more as an output rather than an input based on one's trading strategy. If, for ...

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

I totally agree, I wish most retail traders were winning traders, it would make life actually easier (for trend followers that is)... Nice thread, keep it going. Best, D

What kind of music you hear while you trade?

We all have graphs, we all have indicators and we all have backtested a lot of strategies, and yet we don't all trade profitably in a consistent way. I believe I have seen every possible indicator being put to the test in these forums, mixed with ...
