Admitting contempt for your fellow thread buddies, who have been trying to help you, seems beyond the pale to me. Just for the record, early on in the thread, you asked for examples of trades, which I was happy to provide. A few pages ago, you asked ...

Trading for a living

This is an excuse for failure, not a reason. If you are fatigued, can't concentrate, and are making poor decisions, then you lack the mental character and intellectual toughness to be a trader. Not everyone has the IQ or the stamina to trade. You ...

Trading for a living

This is, objectively, incoherent. Knowledge of a subject allows you to better understand that subject. With understanding comes awareness, and with awareness come the ability to focus...on the relevant and important things. If knowledge causes you ...

Trading for a living

They appear subjective because you lack knowledge. They become (more) objective with knowledge. You lack focus and attention on the things that matter.

Trading for a living

Clearly, I am not going to post a month of charts for you viewing pleasure, but here is one from today. On this 10M chart, trade 1 had a target of 55 pips, and trade 2 had a 35-pip target. Both trades are 4 standard lots each. I would also direct ...

Trading for a living

This is bullshit. In your last reply to me, you claimed to be working a strategy that has delivered something like 13% positive return to your account. However, you continue to talk about the need for an approach that delivers sufficient returns to ...

Trading for a living

It's much worse than that. If you start the month with a 10% loss, you need 9 positive trades of 2% each to recover the loss and make enough money to live on. How many times have you made 9, 2% trades in a row? What are the chances that you suffer ...

Trading for a living

I started at 5:00 AM PST and worked my charts for 4 hours, during which I entered 4 trades. I just returned home from a 5 mile run, and my 4 trades today as still open. I have 2 open trades on the G$, and 2 open trades on the $j. The biggest stop on ...

Trading for a living

Last words on my trading: In the last 24 hours, I have traded in G$, GY, $CAD, and I have an open position in the $Y. I have made more money in 24 hours than you stated you need for your monthly budget. In 24 hours, over $7,000. When you go to bed ...

The irony here is that my approach delivers exactly what he is looking for. Last night, I got an alert on my phone that the $J had broken 153.30. I checked the charts about 30 minutes later, and noted that PA had moved to 153.00. I entered a trade ...

Trading for a living

Perfectly reasonable questions. I'll provide the following answer. My last 44 days have been outstanding. I enjoy trading every day, but don't enter trades every day. Today i traded the G$, the GY, and the $CAD, skipping a trade on the E$. Targets ...

Trading for a living

This is a strange question from a person who has read 150 market and trading related books and been studying trading for 10 years. Are you suggesting that you'd be willing to risk 10% of your margin account to make 2%? If you lose on your first ...

Trading for a living

No, from what you've said you don't know enough about the market and fundamentals. I am not interested in what you've read (perhaps you have read the wrong books or you just are not assimilating the information). I really don't know what you know. I ...

Trading for a living

I would hate to think that anything I have said here would/should/could be viewed as general advice. I have made some observations about what your comments in your posts and that is all. Your motivational framework in becoming a trader is to make ...

Trading for a living

I've been using the same strategy for over 20 years. It continues to "work" because the controlling and operational forces of the forex have not changed in that time. Their technology and their methods have changed, but the underlying rules and ...

Trading for a living

Trading or learning to trade is not on the path to achieving mental health. In fact, mental health is a prerequisite to becoming a successful trader. I recommend that you lower your expectations of employment and income, learn to live on the income ...

Trading for a living

A stunning example of entitlement expectations gone wild.

Trading for a living

First, you opened a thread on a public forum that is dedicated to Forex trading, asking for advice and information on earning a living as a trader, and you expected everyone, or even anyone, to take time to establish a deep and thoughtful ...

Trading for a living

It's not that I think you should quit, or that you've been trying too long. I think you should never fund a trading account until you can prove that you know what you are trading, how that market works, and what is required to be successful. You ...

Including that example in my post would be piling on. In the final analysis, we have failed.
