This won't be the first time Silat50 has generously given us the keys to the kingdom. He has previously stated more than once his firm belief that a trader cannot succeed without sharing his faith in god, which is why he is on my iggy list. Don't be ...

The one reason that trumps all other reasons why traders lose

Slapping retards can be addictive. If you hit 'em just right their head snaps straight back up and asks to be hit again, so what can you do indeed. Feels good, but it doesn't really improve the bottom line.

Hard Way, Easy Way

I think one of the biggest differences between profitable traders and unprofitable traders is that a profitable trader should pick a genuine price chart from a bunch of random ones, as nubs has apparently done. If you cannot identify nonrandom chart ...

why have you accepted the price-predictability assumption?

I like this one better, watch it every December video

What kind of music you hear while you trade?

You are thinking about it all wrong - news doesn't affect the market at all. The only thing that can affect the market is people buying and selling. Sometimes news events cause people to buy and sell en masse, sometimes they don't. Whether traders ...

Which news events move the market

Good point. If pair A/B is valued at 1.000 while pair C/D is valued at 2.000 but the two pairs have the same daily ATR, relatively speaking pair A/B is twice as volatile. To use ATR to comapare volatility of different pairs accurately it would need ...

Which pairs are least volatile?

One more thing. We all think trading is an endless learning curve - we should never stop learning and improving, if we just keep trying and practicing we will get better and better with experience. But this isn't borne out in reality, if you look at ...

The one reason that trumps all other reasons why traders lose

OP is a long time member of my ignore list, I very much doubt we are going to see the result of deep, profound thinking here.

The one reason that trumps all other reasons why traders lose

Yeah after banging my head on that wall for a few years, i gave up and just started straddling price ranges around certain economic events. Started a thread on it, you should check it out. I also noticed that my charts now bear a striking ...

The one reason that trumps all other reasons why traders lose

I would say lack of understanding what is happening off the charts, an inability to view market action on more than one level simultaneously - people switch between TA and FA and treat them separately instead of seeing one as a manifestation of the ...

The one reason that trumps all other reasons why traders lose

This IMO trumps all other reasons. If you don't have a thorough understanding of what is happening behind the charts, who is moving price, how, and why, why different underlying conditions cause different price action, you cannot have a sustainable ...

5 Reasons Why Traders Lose

Thread is funny. Like trying to rate one's own personality, I guarantee none of you can do it accurately - evidenced by the result of the poll in post #1 which is statistically absurd. Your account balance is either higher than it was previously or ...

The 5 Steps to becoming a trader

Marketwatch gives volume data for indices like dow30. Actual volume for currency pairs doesn't exist since there is no central exchange which can measure it, each broker matches buyers directly with sellers itself.

Actual Trade Volume Histogram

Yeah timing is everything. It's uncanny how often a fundamentally strong currency will fall back to support, or a weak currency will approach resistance, just before a major news event. You still never know which way the news will go but if you are ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

I haven't read this thread and I probably won't bother - large parts of it are hidden anyway thanks to ignore function But I believe it is possible to trade profitably and sustainably using rotational hedging instead of S/L - if you know what you ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

John Murphy's book Intermarket Analysis is the seminal work in this line of thinking, although he has a rather negative view of using other markets to predict currencies - like most intermarket specialists he kind of assumes that currency movements ...

Causation and Correlations

There are many reasons both for and against, but here are two very big factors that often get overlooked in these debates: 1. A successful trader, with significant amounts of money in his trading account is NEVER going to give his account details ...

Show Trade Explorer, why Yes or why Not...

Hi Your method is very similar to mine - I even got the same entry today @ 1.3507, target is 2 pips higher than yours. My method is in the Trading Systems forum. A few differences - I trade several currencies against USD, not just the euro. I don't ...

Asian Breakout with trend

Trading in the Zone is undoubtedly one of the most helpful books out there but like any other book, all it can do is put in place one or two pieces of a larger puzzle. There isn't any book that assembles the whole puzzle for you - you have to do ...

How did you find success?

funny shit goes on on some of those explorers. This guy you linked to, has never posted but he has two subscribers - tebu and zulfadzaly. tebu and zulfadzaly are both subscribed to: silverapis silverabd silverlat miliunsilver silversur silverja ...
