We were expecting to be taught how to trade, the key word being 'taught'. He didn't teach anything, he just left us all to run around like headless chickens with no guidance. For gods sake, he was telling us that we would be able to forecast the ...

Feck that BS. Were you convinced by Skunnys claims that his method exploited the secret orchestrated price movements of the Illuminati? That was the point that I left.

This post is in-line with my beliefs.

His posts seem grounded to me, except the latest one, thats a little/lot over the top. I'm guessing his handle comes from Harry Larris book T&E. EDIT: LOL, the LARRY HARRIS book.

With all respect, unbridled positivity is ignorance. Would we live in the world we do If no one had ever questioned what they were told to be gospel? This forum requires the questioning of what others say because that is how we learn and separate ...

Might sound sad, but the most important thing in my life is, and I feel always will be success. I figure that everyone floats on by, fits in to the system, and does what there told to earn their living. Trading offers the chance to do something for ...

Lol, don't do that to me. Serious note to the guy Marsh replied to. For some of us here, it has been impossible for us to settle for the explanations we've been given for price movement by the 'wanna-be Guru traders' who rely on TA and ...

Add the bold above to the list of recommended topics I submitted on your site earlier. The more you speak, the more complicated and discretionary you paint the picture of orderflow trading to be. Not really. I would have made a comparison between ...

Ahh, so it's the close of the 4hr candle told him that? It sucks to be a GMT trader, missing out on these wonderful trades.

Ive read your posts, and if you get the time this should be a very interesting thread. Leon

The truth...my story, my journal

Possibly luck, but there has to be some solid information more than 'feel' and fundamentals if it's not. Interested to hear what the average loss compared to average win is for is for this 'type' of trade, if a type exists. EDIT: Average Drawn-down ...

I should have elaborated. Reading on testing an edge, interpreting fundamentals and economic factors, maybe something on correlation. There are plenty of other blank spots in my knowledge. For those of us who who have commitments during prime ...

Very interesting, thank you. Can I ask you some questions? What was your education and occupation before becoming a successful trader? And, can you recommend any useful reading? Regards, Leon

Nice setup. I bet its so much better having a desk facing out toward an open room rather than a wall.

Show us your workstation!

On second thoughts, maybe some things can't be quantified, and feel is all we have. We enjoy reading your posts, if you enjoy writing them then I see no problem. Leon

Well, this post is a surprise. Feel the markets? Doesn't sound very objective. Maybe I understand why you say psychology is important now. EDIT: You beat me to it Deusomega.

Thoughtful post. @Darkstar To call yourself an order flow trader do you need to know where/who the orders are coming from? Any kind of trader could call themselves an orderflow trader if you consider knowledge of 'the trouble in Greece' as meaning ...

I'd add one thing to this responce... Fortune tellers are bull shitters. @OP - Do you really believe that there are people who can see in to the futures of others who they have no knowledge of, or influence on?

Ashraf Laidi "calls"

Yes, but I thought you were from the school of thought that inefficiencies only exist in the short term. I'm not sure if there was a particular post that made me think this or just a general feeling I got from reading your posts. If you ever want to ...

I decided to lighten up a little and change to Berlusconi. He is a funny guy after all. Next up is Niccolo Machiavelli.
