At some point you will start to realize that the best way to trade is to not give a F**K. You will get that way when you have defined your trading style and method in such detail that every time you open a trade or close a trade you know exactly why ...

why are people so lazy?

Because when they fail (and the lazy ones will all fail) they will place the blame on something other than themselves. "I tried so and so's system and blew my account". LOL! They will also ask if there is an EA so they can be so gracious as to ...

why are people so lazy?

January and February had decent longer term moves. March everything slowed down but like others have said intraday is good. For most traders this is a problem since they hold full time jobs. Hard to check the charts during the day for most of them. ...

How's 2018 been for you so far?

To trade forex and not believe at some level you will succeed is insanity. It would be more logical to buy lottery tickets if you felt that way. Hard work is the number one key to making it. Most people start trading Forex because they believe it is ...

Who are the winners in forex?

I fully evaluate every trade. Profit or Loss. If I followed all of my rules for entry but still it turned out to lose money then there is nothing to feel bad about. The trade was valid per my rules and the markets just didn't agree with my decision. ...

How do you deal with your losses?

I have the upper limit set for 5% but rarely hit that level. Typically it works out to 1-3%. In the U.S. you run into a limitation due to the reduced leverage on our accounts. This mostly happens for me due to trading lower time frames which allows ...

Why you should trade 1-2% of your account on a trade!

1. Understand the difference between how much you CAN buy/sell versus how much you SHOULD buy/sell. How much you can buy/sell is determined by your leverage, how much you should buy/sell is determined by your risk. Back when I first started trading ...

What Have I Learned Since 2006??

Stream is live and has been for a little over an hour. Sunday nights can be wonderful or tricky. After an 80 pip or so gap down on opening the markets have been unable to pick a direction for GBPJPY. My initial short right around the time the stream ...

Y'All Hold Mah Beer And Watch This...

I have set aside the entire month of October to do nothing but trade. No distractions, just me, my trusty computer and the markets. A trade explorer is good but what if you could watch my trades live as they happen at no cost (now or ever)? Well now ...

Y'All Hold Mah Beer And Watch This...

1. Having investors will dramatically change the trading dynamic for you. Some can handle it, I could not. Where can you find them? Put up a long term trade explorer online and they will find you. Prove it first and finding investors isn't a ...

Career path decision

Not that anyone really cares but I moved the balance I had in a FxTrade (Oanda) account to an MT4 (Oanda) account. I will leave the original trade explorer up so no history is lost. I needed to move it to MT4 to allow a new EA I created to run on ...

I agree that it isn't the best solution but certainly better than sleeping for a predetermined amount of time. I am guessing here but they are probably using MT4 for their code which is rooted in old technology. Knowing nothing about their code ...

a break to an ea

Rather than putting it to sleep why not execute the full code only after x amount of ticks? This would allow it to work harder during very active times and less during the quiet times.

a break to an ea

How is BagX doing it? Notice how many times Bag is posting during trading time..... almost none. Focus is critical when trading like that. This thread has nearly 1,300 posts and very few are by the originator. 1300 posts in just about 2 weeks, wow ...

50 to 22000 in one week

Sunday nights are hit and miss. Mostly miss. Trying to forward test an EA I wrote this weekend. Hoping we can get some decent price movement over the next day or two. If it looks good then I will run it on an FXCM live account I just opened. ...

That's why you should never choose just one.
