I cannot reconcile having goals in life if there are not time frames associated with it. I guess it is a matter of opinion. I am going for the brass ring which does not mean I throw caution to the wind. Think of all the people who have been ...

I fail again and again and bite the dust

I suppose an unprofitable year could do that. I already had my unprofitable year. I do not plan ever to have another one. If you have more than one unprofitable year, it may mean that maybe stocks or some other investment tool would better suit you. ...

I fail again and again and bite the dust

I have no problem with that. As a matter of fact, I tried, however, my broker account (GFT) is doing maintenance so I am unable to access it. It also requires me to use MT4 which I have never used. But as soon as I can, I will reveal my account. ...

I fail again and again and bite the dust

I don't know what planet you are from but daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly goals are important to anyone who values his or her time. If you take trading in a whimsical serendipitous manner, you will simply fail. You will have learned nothing. If ...

That's a good way to look at it. I'm retired so I might as well stare at something throughout the day.

[quote=Taigen;5149936] Let me add... If you fall behind your daily or weekly goal, all that means is you set your goals beyond your ability. There has to be a point somewhere in your trading where you consistently make a profit. If you are not there ...

I fail again and again and bite the dust

With all due respect to Hanover, the claim his investor friend excoriates as the, "...so much per day" crowd, he himself ends up doing the exact same thing. His timeline may be different but he ends up with the same overall average, which was ...

I fail again and again and bite the dust

Well... — I think you are asking a lot for just one year's worth of experience. First, you should not be opening an account more than a $1000. Now consider that tuition. Give yourself a timeline such as a quarter or semester. The idea is to if ...

Targets — Hi, Just wondering if you have daily TP's based on percentages of the base account. That's what I do and I see similarities.

If it gaps up, it should help in my position 'cloud' if you will for shorts. I'm looking forward for this pair to get into the twenties. I think we will start seeing more up/down activity as it gets closer to parity. Bernanke will try to thwart that ...

What I like about it is your connection to it. Obviously you have tested it many times over and it works for you. I can see it attracting those of a similar disposition. It simply doesn't matter if anyone believes in it or not. If it is increasing ...

I'm not Russian so I don't care one way or the other. Suffering of the proletariat will always be. From the days of Czars to the Bolshevik Revolution to the quasi 'democratic' state now run by gangsters; it's a tough place and the people are ...

Moscow leads the cities with the most billionaires. No one should ever underestimate Russians. Overall they are brilliant yet ruthless; a deadly combination.

Well said. When I used to trade stocks there were people that actually thought they were influential using silly diatribes. Forex is simply to big for anyone to be an influence in any way whatsoever. I do enjoy hearing the successes of others and ...

This has turned out to be a good trading week and it looks like I should end out with my target goal of 10% for the week. Great shorting opportunities which is pretty much all I do.

Yea, sometimes common sense works against you.

No he's real. His name is Dan Gaub and lives in Yakima, WA. You can call him if you want at (252) 542-8239. He's usually available unless he's on his boat. He's a forex adviser and I'm signed up with him. I think this $2000 account is called 'Birth ...

I don't think I said I know how the stock market works. I did trade on Level II and saw on my own the outright corruption before my very eyes where brokers manipulated pricing by fake-outs. Now, they eventually get caught if they are in collusion. ...
