I must say I some what agree with 80% of what you're saying. Very true. Lagging indicators are like a poison. Worst thing is anyone can make an indicator & people just start to follow them blindly. I wouldn't agree with the fact you're saying ...

Agreed it's still good movement depending on what ones targets are

I don't think only losers trade over the Xmas period, probably doesn't make much difference tbh, to either win or lose you need movement in the market, during this period there will be less movement..

Hi Togu, I've mentioned this earlier, you can't dwell on this. If you're sensible this market will keep on giving you opportunities. Time & time again. Look at my earlier posts in this thread, you'll see clearly some of the opportunities I've ...

Depending on the life style you want to live, you must be able to support that from forex. Think about it you need to support a family, then is this really a viable option. Is it seriously a steady form of income for you month in month out? I've ...

Hi BS4 my account size is a personal question. But you are correct totally in saying with account size psychology changes. Trading a £100 account to trading a £10,000 account is totally different. £10k will mean a lot more to a person then £100 ...

Thank you, I'm just trying to be honest and say it how it is in my eyes. Some of the posts I read are so cringe worthy in the systems thread. Gurus posting & other people congratulating people on starting a thread. What's to congratulate? Anyone can ...

I'm not saying to anyone they have to show their trade explorers. That's no one's business other then your own. It makes no difference to me what so ever. What I was trying to say is that if anyone is preaching to someone else, then it's only fair ...

Absolutely I agree with you, traders love to cut themselves. Any method that is to simple, is probably the method that works & it's when people start to add indicators etc that a simple method becomes over complicated. And I did say earlier on no ...

I understand what you're saying this is your view. But what if your trading style does not consist of taking a 1000 trades? Yet I'm consistently making profits & growing the account over a 48 month period?? Would you say I'm not constant? I think if ...

Hi friend, thank you for reading, I don't know if it's wisdom I'm passing on or just annoying to members. Just my experience over the years doing this. I can't say I've read any books to be honest. As you can probably tell from some of my grammar ...

Yes I agree with you. You're responsible for what you do. You can't follow others then then blame them when something goes wrong. Same goes for indicators & eas, ultimately you're the one in the driving seat & making the decision.

I agree with what you're saying. The forum here is to enjoy & learn of others. It's important to understand there is a limit to doing this. Don't let it take over your life. Enjoy it

Good point friend.. If you're losing money constantly then something is obviously wrong. If you're trying to trade your way out of this situation you're doomed. You traded your way into this situation. The method of trading is not working. So why ...

Yes correct, I agree with you, it becomes like an addiction. Then you'll get the people that exploit that.

Makes me think why I even began to post after 10 years, especially when trust is so high amongst fellow traders & this industry in general.

To be successful... cut out the noise

I can not believe how some people get so defensive when you're questioning a point they are putting out there. You're putting it out there so people can read no? And you have to be open to be challenged no? Then you ask ok do you have a trade ...

has anyone EVER seen a successful trader/trading system?

I'm not getting mad, I'm just questioning what you're saying that only people who risk 1% can get everything they want. Regardless your statement here says it all. I trust you., I trust what you're saying without any proof. Hopefully others will to ...

has anyone EVER seen a successful trader/trading system?

Well yes it does change everything. It's miss leading to the community. Especially the newer members who are here to try to learn. You're saying some big things here, telling me to go back to day job, but I've never left my day job in the first ...
