Yeah. Blowing an account is probably a bad sign. Either you failed to do due diligence (learning the basics, risk management, etc.), or you were that bad of a trader that even with the basics you were still able to draw down the whole account. Even ...

if 99% fail why not reverse what we trade

Can't say I disagree with anything he's saying there, but why do people listen to Alan Greenspan still? He supported the Bush tax cuts in 2001 (didn't do shit to help, now he's against them) He said there was "no housing bubble" in 2003 (lol) He ...

The U.S. budget crises

It's funny reading the comments in this thread. Almost unanimously every professional trader I've seen comment on the subject of men vs women traders has consistently said that women are better traders than men on average. Men are more egotistical, ...

why are almost all of traders in the world men?

You're an idiot if you truly believe that's the case.

Hey, live trades are great. If you're willing to put your name (not that it means much here, but whatever) to some trades and put a dollar amount on that, by all means. Same thing with your junk

Meaningless statements: I just made 120 pips on that EURUSD move

If we're talking meaningless statements here, posting on an online forum about how many pips or how much money you made on a trade after the fact is entirely meaningless and completely lame. There's seriously nothing worse on here than someone ...

Meaningless statements: I just made 120 pips on that EURUSD move

Wasn't around to see it live, but I get the feeling that stops weren't honored without massive amounts of slippage on most brokers. Even conservative position sizing might not have helped too much on this one, I'm afraid.

What the ^&*%% just happened?

You are obnoxious

After that long-winded tirade about how dumb everyone else here is, how smart/ballsy/awesome you are, and a bunch of other random irrelevant shit (this country is going down the drain, bla bla bla), you never answered the OP. You made some ...

Help required with respect to GBP/USD

It was a joke. The above statement is stupid. Bragging about how good of a trader you are is not immature bullshit? Above statement? Stupid. Jokes on a forum have nothing to do with why the vast majority of traders lose in the end. Stupid. We all ...

Help required with respect to GBP/USD

^^ Classic. I made 2873% last night on the same exact trade! It was PERFECT. edit: I meant to say I AM PERFECT. INGENIOUS.

Help required with respect to GBP/USD

To add, I also have a US Desktop Pro account and I use the MBT Mobile for iPhone 4. I only use it for execution, which I haven't had any problems with. It's a bit awkward getting around on a touch screen on a phone to edit orders and stuff like ...

Price moves because people are buying or selling, the underlying reasons are often contradictory in nature and of no importance. Trying to judge the behavior of the masses based on "news" or "inventory" is grasping at straws; if people want to sell ...

Daytrading What IS

Very simple and to the point. Hope to see more discussion, thanks.

Daytrading What IS

There's no doubt they have issues, as with any broker. I would say the majority of complaints you'll read here come from MT4. I have no experience using MT4 with them, so I won't comment on any of the legitimate issues. It's worth noting that many ...

I haven't looked at a EUR/CHF chart in a while, but this thread made me take a gander at the weekly and monthly chart. Holy crap, that is an intimidating picture. It's just a parabolic drop with no signs of slowing. Don't catch a falling knife, the ...

Went long EUR/CHF around 1.08, target 1.40

Have you ever traded? Have you ever traded on weed?

The Logic Behind the Pitchfork

Chart based/technical stops, maybe (trendlines, horizontal support & resistance, etc.). The biggest caveat is that newer or inexperienced traders tend to block their stops together in areas where they think "this is far enough away from my entry and ...

Question about setting stops

Go to school, it is as much a life experience (when you are young) as it is educational. You can also easily trade from school, depending on a few things such as your chosen degree. My senior year, when I first started getting into trading, I had ...
