1st this thread idea displays total lack of elegance on your part, as you've made question to explicitly aiming it at someone else (Doriotcapita) and his thread. 2nd you are very right, forex scams do exist! My advice here is: never ever put your ...

Trading tips from inexperienced trader

Neither 2+2, bluesteele, myself, or any other trader in favor of stopping/limiting losses has said such thing. Quite the contrary! Reread the posts and you will quickly find we all say the market cannot be predicted 100% of time. Being able to ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

Agreed that only by trading very small can anyone trade the way you've described. I respect your way of doing things, but your way has absolutely no appeal to me. You see, you still a have a wrong idea of what using a stop (limiting losses) is ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

I can only agree with you assuming an account has unlimited funding, and we both know that's not possible. It is precisely because one can never tell the future, that one should always err on the side of caution (after all we're talking about ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

I don't think that's what 2+2 meant exactly. Anyway, only 2+2 can tell. I think that shellsnail was very right when he pointed out most of this discussion seems to be fueled by a mix up between stop loss as concept and stop loss as order. We all ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

Please, read shellsnail useful distinction on stop loss as order vs. stop loss as concept: I'm 100% into the use of stop loss as concept, because the refusal to admit being wrong and act accordingly by cutting losses timely, will inevitably lead to ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

Hey Doriot, This thread in it's short life has already been very good to me. Not because of the trading setups prescribed here per se. I haven't even had the time to learn them properly yet. Been very busy these last days. But, because your personal ...

Trading from an Experienced and Successful FULL TIME Trader

So you are not infallible after all ! You may not use stop loss orders, but you do use a stop loss conceptually (ie, there's a point at which you accept you were wrong on a trade and cut the loss before it becomes crippling). Therefore, you are in ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

Your definition of high life pretty much sums it up for me as well. Not really the materialistic/consumerist type.

Trading from an Experienced and Successful FULL TIME Trader

I know successful (ie, consistently profitable) traders. That doesn't necessarily mean they get to live the high life though. To live the high life from trading income alone one also needs a significant capital base to trade with (compounding effect ...

Trading from an Experienced and Successful FULL TIME Trader

Hi Davit, Those are some of the wisest words. Finding the perfect balance between holding a bias, or letting it go (=changing, being counter human nature), it's what I find most challenging in trading that involves high degree of discretion. That's ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

There was one person defending the proposition that the market could be beaten (not you though, fortunately for you).

Trading Without a StopLoss

I find a bit more complicated than Just by or sell and manage the risk. Entries are just as important as exits. If the entry is not good enough one may never have the chance to manage the position.

Trading Without a StopLoss

I see nothing wrong with the way you trade. You're clearly humble (and intelligent) to accept the possibility your trade has gone bad, and cut the losses before they cripple you.

Trading Without a StopLoss

I find it hilarious that there are people delusional enough to actually think they can beat the market There's no beating the market. All one can do is to position oneself on the market's side, and let the market do the heavy work. Rinse ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

Imho, no conclusions can be drawn using such a small sample of trades. In the event that the trade sample was large enough, the conclusion that you would be better off without using a Stop Loss could still be invalid. It could simply mean that the ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

As you've seen there are other people here who are able to recognize the potential of what you're sharing without seeing 'proof'. Your method seems based on sound principles. That alone is reason enough to give it a fair chance by devoting some time ...

Imho, Doriot is literally casting pearls at pigs here. Good to see there are still some humans with common sense left among this wild bunch

Trading from an Experienced and Successful FULL TIME Trader

Nevermind whose fault it is. That's a thing of least concern. Besides, in the end we're all cool. Everyone gets to trade and learn their own way.

Trading Without a StopLoss

Dude, I have no beef with you, or the way you trade. Your way is simply not my way. I don't have to accept your way, and you don't have to accept mine. That is all. Thought that was abundantly clear in the post where I wished you continued success. ...
