Narafa, Really enjoyed reading your stories. Helps me a little with my "patience" issue. This is totally a guess, so take it as that, but, my thought would be, "when is winter wheat harvested in the southern US?". May just might be the harvest, ...

Trade & Trader Idea, Concept & Circumstances

Great post, Dopey. Now I know I'll make it. Thanks!

Technical Analysis Fallacy

It's at a pretty good support level now, 221.75 area, so you might get lucky and have a bit of a bounce. Other than "hoping and praying" for that, you're gambling. Sorry to be harsh, but I've done it myself enough to know the feeling. It is a ...

turn 1 to 100'S : Straight Foward Trades

Read the first post.

Years vs Methodology...

I thought the problem was too many alerts for a single signal? So if the alert is disabled until a fresh signal occurs, wouldn't that solve the problem? I prefer only one alert per signal, so it must be disabled or you'll get alerts until the ...

Add an alert and get my indicator for nothing

I've glanced at this all of 45 seconds, so I may be FOS, but I think your problem is in your Case1_Shown and Case2_Shown logic. I've used them differently than your intent, but believe this will work as intended. If an up condition occurs, you won't ...

Add an alert and get my indicator for nothing

Full time for just over a year. Not profitable long term - improving exponentially as of late. I'm close. I get up when I'm rested, whether that's 1 am or 5 am. I analyze charts and wait for trades. I eat when I'm hungry, take a nap if I'm sleepy! ...

How many full time traders here and other questions?

This still isn't what you're looking for, but it's one step closer. Someone around here knows how to get the MT4 update for price into it. Until then, scroll down and right and plug them in manually. I don't know who did this, but it's slicker than ...

Position size spreadsheet

There are plenty of mutual funds getting 30 - 100% per year. Sound risky? I don't see it that way. Latin America, SE Asia, China, India, Canada, emerging markets in general, will continue to grow steadily for awhile yet, before the bubble bursts. ...

How to turn 50k to 300k.

Thanks for sharing, 1 to 100's. I have a blown Oanda account which I still use for things like this. If we turn 1 to 100, I'll end up with $3000 in there!

turn 1 to 100'S : Straight Foward Trades

The key here is the words "what I have found as 'truths' for me". That is exactly the whole point. For every piece of advice, the exact opposite is coming from another "expert". Traders have to figure out for themselves what it all means -- what is ...

Self Help Regurgitation

I agree with GF. I know people do it, and I have on very rare occasions, but mostly I feel that if it's time to get out, then it's time to get out. The only benefit I see is that it could allow you to gather your thoughts and figure out what to do ...

Hedge a losing position?

Anybody watching the CWH breakout (also a wedge BO) on the U/J 4H? You can go all the way down to 15M and see nice chart patterns (another wedge/triange/flag/coil whatever you call it breakout).

That is quite an awesome idea! What better way to derive a system that would result in harmony, fun, and success in trading!?

Tips & Tricks from the full time traders??

A good trader can use just about any system and make money, so ignore anyone making blanket statements about anything in forex (except the one I make below ). Ok, let me say ignore anything that can't be proven. There are people who see success ...

Tips & Tricks from the full time traders??

I'm restating what others have said, but maybe have a slightly different take on it. Money mangement is, of course, a huge key. I played poker last weekend with a group of seasoned players, I was the newbie. I came out ahead both nights. Most games ...

Tips & Tricks from the full time traders??

Nice to hear (again) that you're doing so well, and how young you are. Now, how about answering the question?

Absolutely! I take as much as I can, but 10 pips a day will make you very rich. I'm sure you know the math.
