The quest for trading perfection seems to be most peoples one and only objective ….forums are full of people banging on about how they've conquered that particular gift of making money and try to bluff everyone with their ridiculous claims....their ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

The normal chirping goes on with handbags and all sorts lol. The nutty one with the screw loose doesn't actually give any detail on how he trades, he's too busy dealing with his schizophrenia I reckon lol Still, not my problem....I'll leave em to ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A brief update re EA trades that I'm involved in as shown previously. 3 positions were triggered and are still currently in play. The market has marched north against me at present and taken out a previous high in the process. I trade from a daily ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Many systems/approaches, including my own need to be able to spot continuations and reversals. How we all go about that is normally an individual process in some form or other, some may decide to use a tool to ease that process to act as an ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Regardless of anybody's chosen approach to trading, there is always exactly the same general objective...ie predicting what will happen next and that's not much different to life, either consciously or sub-consciously. The term next is naturally a ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

My previous post dealt with some perspective stuff in a subtle manner, presenting a message. Construe accordingly is my advice. There are hard sells, soft sells and the long sell, or any combination of the same. Certain posters on FF, or anywhere ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Imo, everyone on the planet with a mature mind (or not) has a motive in anything that they do in their lives and their motives will always have an objective, whether they be passive or aggressive in varying degrees. That's who we are as ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

It's certainly been an interesting week, not just on the trading front, but also of course on the FF entertainment side. Give nutcase a tiny bit of fuel and he always comes up with the goods.....never failing to set himself alight lol. Keep up the ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Lol....ya gotta laugh Idiot man walking alert....you know who I mean. Just seen some of his posts....he really is a 24 carat nutcase which ought to have been obvious to anyone right from the start I'd have thought, and what's with his 3rd person ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Ref the above... It looks like the thread owner is gradually getting his thread back in order. He seems a smart enough bloke to achieve that. His problem is though, imo, is that the fundamental premise of the trading approach that seems to be ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Is there any logic at all to give a stranger a proven successful strategy on a plate.....of course not! Some of the main threads go round and round and round....arguing with one another continuously. No one actually makes inroads, and there is a ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

[quote=Landline;12267624]A quick review of some of the threads throws up much the same that has been covered a million times already, just cloaked differently in most cases. The cubby guy is still trying....he will fail as he usually does because ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Yeah...I couldn't agree more with you. We all at some point became influenced by someone (rightly or wrongly). Often, big personality characters....you know the type lol....grab peoples attention. We learn who or what to entrust with ...

Stop searching for the 'Holy Grail', work on yourself!

Purely from my perspective...... equally important as the other aspects of any given trade. See post 107 for simple analogy concerning exactly that point. Regarding timing....again, it is related to the above, but there are different kinds of timing ...

Stop searching for the 'Holy Grail', work on yourself!

No problem mate, I'm happy to help and clarify some concepts of clear thinking for the inexperienced out there, because that is the most frequent issue of confusion for most imo. Good thread...keep it going, it gets them grey cells working for many ...

Stop searching for the 'Holy Grail', work on yourself!

Yeah you're quite right in what you've said mate, no argument from me on any of that. Inexperienced traders are obviously the most vulnerable (generally). They pick up poor advice from those so called gurus you've mentioned, and before they know it ...

Stop searching for the 'Holy Grail', work on yourself!

Firstly, the word mastering is a relative expression. Consistently making a profit is the only evidence of whether a traders approach is satisfactory or not. I mentioned in post 112 how that can be assessed to make it easy for someone to know what ...

Stop searching for the 'Holy Grail', work on yourself!

Another thing I find across all forums either here at FF or any other forum for that matter, is the misuse/misunderstanding of certain terms, which are frequently used by traders, maybe to give the impression to others that they know what they're ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

To me, it seems that there's an increase in indicator driven systems all of a sudden. Indicators work some of the time, a bit like a broken watch, it's dead accurate twice a day and wrong the rest of the time.... brokers like the indicator junkies ...
