Agree with most of what you say here. Although I would never claim to be an outright extrovert, I work in customer facing sales so am hardly an introvert. I think trading FT alone would be far too a solitary existance for me so would always need an ...

Yep, not using a stop loss is definitely the best way to not blow an account

How Many Accounts Did You Blow Before You Got It Right?

Yep, dead right. It's the subtelties and nauances I think that are missed by most that either help you see entries that others won't and keep you out of entries that others will take and shouldn't. As much as i've sort of known this for a long time, ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Thanks 131, great to get your insight on that because it really was a picture perfect trade (albeit a little higher than you wated). Can't believe how quick you went green.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Morning mate. Looks like you got a great entry but I do have one question about that trade. The signal candle that you entered on close bearish and slightly lower than the close of the previous candle which to me would be a warning that the bears ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Top post Dharma and agree with your take on this. Also, you probably noticed that the hammer failed to close below the wick of the previous larger hammer to the left. Extra confirmation that a turn was forming.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Not sure your position size will affect the outcome mate, unless you have a very dodgy broker There are no realiable stats. if you've read the PDF, you'll recall that EO said something like "i've not tested it but it works 90% of the time or ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Hmm, good point!

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Yep, think that pretty much nails it. I do wish he'd bob in every so often so we could pick his brains over some of this stuff.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Morning 131. Bang on as well, trading should always be about what you can see, understand and then ultimately grow to trust. If a setup doesn't make sense to you or you can't wrap your head around it when looking through the charts, you should never ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Decent explanation Dharma. This trade was something of a diversion from his usual approach to trading for EO. He was a VERY technical trader and had a great feel for where markets were headed and really understood when to take note of a candle ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I'm not. England were an absolute embarrassment to the tournament. Terrible football

Euro Cup 2012 winner heads for bailout?

I now find myself slightly fascinated by you Wulfugar. It sounds to me that you have studied more aspects of the markets and trading in general than most decent traders i've come across. Yet still you have failed to find a way to trade with regular ...

At What Point Do You Give Up On Forex

I guess you can keep it simple but I would expect that any system that does keep it simple will be far more straining on the emotions than one that takes a more insighful view of the market. Why? Because you never know if and when it will fail. Will ...

Will trading be simple?!

Excellent post and I think you've raised some oft ignored and very valuable points. I do, though, have to say that you appear to me something of an enigma. You seem to me to be both articulate and switched on. You've said yourself you've done the ...

At What Point Do You Give Up On Forex

I must take issue with that Custos. You can never know. I understand from reading your previous posts that you have developed an automated system that appears to deliver you 50% return per anum. That's great and long may it continue for you. ...

Believing in yourself

Some fair points there, maybe i'm just a little too cynical.

Hey Dharma. Yep, I think you are right about the hint being that that large candle failed to close high and failed to close above those prev highs. I always see big candles like that, that close back in the middle of the candle as a big warning that ...

I'd settle for that....and a sexy equity curve

At What Point Do You Give Up On Forex

Interesting review as I usually value your opinion. I struggle with one aspect of this whole thing. If a trader has some wonderful idea to bring us that can help us all propel our profits, you would have to assume that they are using their own ...
