3000 is a lot for a 2 month period. I'd be concerned about a false sense of security. Could you have been lucky for these past few weeks? I don't really know what to say. You might have a keen method for entry and exit that most don't. I personally ...

2,000USD to 2,000,000 USD in 8 years?

When I first started, I could not put it down (the charts) but the potential that drives all of us will be replaced with a WTF moment the first account blown. (Yep, I blew a $1500 account back in 2006)

I am in love with forex!!!

At the end of the day, look yourself in the mirror and decide if the risk is something you can accept if you lose everything. Is 2K a lot to you? To some people, it is not. The key to forex is to always be honest with yourself and not promise ...

2,000USD to 2,000,000 USD in 8 years?

Ha, until that first blown account....

Everything around this forum is speculation. And Euro insolvency is absolutely possible, if Germany pulls out because France won't step up to the plate. Currency trading is not just about chart patterns.

Short on the Euro and it goes to zero...

That's a tough read. Unfortunately there's not much that can be said. I wish I could just say "keep trading an you'll get it back" but unfortunately the odds are exactly what they were before you pressed your first BUY or SELL. Nobody knows the ...

Would it be too much trouble to pay me back my $20,000, my sexy darling?

I want to say a few things. First, I really like your enthusiasm and motivation. Now what I'm seeing here is an attempt at a one hit wonder. You hope to run your account up while there's still water in the well. Have you planned what critieria you ...

Simple H1 GBPUSD EA

Hi. I have backtests through 1992 and I think they are absolutely necessary. The more market conditions you can survive through.... the more realistic your assessment of the EA becomes. A few months testing only shows market conditions for a few ...

Simple H1 GBPUSD EA

My thought on Delta Phenomenon, cycles, etc is that it is a secret between all banks, and they trade it to be in sync with each other. In other words, no magical or gravitational influence on people's emotions, but simply a universally agreed upon ...

Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

I like the live trade calls, but not the plugs for Jacko. Your results will speak for themselves, not how much you praise his services. By the way, you have nothing to prove to anyone. If you are a successful fulltime trader, that is a great ...

The ForexMick Trade Journal- Jacko style

This thread is finally falling apart? If so, it was about time. Jacko was always playing with fire with the anti-hedge. His front page is a great read and really inspiring, but when you actually look at his style, it was built on the good old days ...

Jacko's Forex House of Pleasure and Pain

If you have 500K, you can afford to hire a pro to manage it. And if you are in this for "the thrill of the hunt", you better get educated before you come in. I'd say several months of learning everything you can about the industry.

A Lot of Money and Risk

Great journal.

150-200 pip/month without technical indicators.

What a like about seeing these trades is that you are right on top of things. In and out, a true day trader.

Every single week closed with positive pips

Read some of Darkstar's posts on stop hunting (if he hasn't erased them)

Black swans

Looks like a good journal... Like your enthusiasm.

Every single week closed with positive pips

Why does nobody state the obvious facts??? Every year, there are different world events that are reflected in the charts. If a setup worked 100 times in a row, and then a new world order occurs, the setup may fail due to the market's change in ...

New study shows only 1% of traders are consistently successful

The site says that people holding foreign accounts with 50K or more are exempt from the 30% tax. My question is, what if the account starts above 50K, and then falls below 50K. Does one suddenly lose exemption to the 30% tax? I tell you, this ...

Could 10:1 be the new leverage in US Forex?

Where can I find out when they make the decision announcement? (Or have the already made it??)
