I've read most of the posts on the thread. Regarding the highlighted statement above, you are definitely talking about your personal experiences in your posts. You clearly have an emotional connection to everything you've said. I would not jump on ...

The word DISCIPLINE is overused

Wow, I had just decided to skip making a post on this thread, then you said this. Your comments lead me to believe that you are failing as a trader, and from a previous post, I'm going to guess that you just experienced a margin call after stupidly ...

The word DISCIPLINE is overused

Target hit but too late for me to be in the market.

You're just messing with us, right? Here's a news flash: if you have a broker that offers a lower spread, your spread will be lower. Brilliant! But that's not the point, since no one who actually trades for living randomly enters orders and then ...

You seem very slow to take the challenge, so I posted my trades on the G$ in my journal this morning and am posting updates as I go. Please feel free to join in with your trading ideas.

Are trading costs the main reason of losses in trading?

This is a current, real time chart of what I am trading right now, with three open trades on the G$. All three trades are targeting the -.27 fib extension from the 4H chart, at about 1.2045. The pink band is a previous area of support/resistance, ...

Clearly, you remain an idiot. My offer to compare trades remains. For me, it will be trading. But for you, it's just pictures you dont understand. Good trading!

Are trading costs the main reason of losses in trading?

I take copious notes every trading day, of every trade I've made, for over 15 years. For every trade, I note why I made the trade, what my expectations were, how the trade developed, how I was feeling at various times, how I reacted, and how the ...

Are trading costs the main reason of losses in trading?

Clearly you're an idiot. The whole journal is analysis and trades. If you can't read English, or more likely, don't understand how to trade, and can't read a chart, then I understand why you missed it. Go back to the journal. Read the words. Learn. ...

Are trading costs the main reason of losses in trading?

Like I said, you can see how it's done by looking through my journal. There I show how I trade, how I use multiple trading accounts, and make clear that if anyone is looking for a trade explorer, they can go fuck themselves. I'm not here to satisfy ...

Are trading costs the main reason of losses in trading?

You can visit my trading journal here on FF for a pretty accurate view of what I do as a trader, including analysis, entries, stops and targets. Let me know if you have any questions. I'll refrain from further derogatory comments on your post, ...

Are trading costs the main reason of losses in trading?

I deleted my derisive mockery of your post. I believe it is impolite to make fun of stupid people. But to summarize, your 4.5 strategy will deliver 4.5 pips, no matter the spread. What you assume is that a lower spread will increase your testicular ...

Are trading costs the main reason of losses in trading?

Let me be bold and blunt about this comment: if reducing your spread/commission from 3 to .7, would increase your return from 40% to 140%, you are not a serious trader. There is no fucking way, that reducing your cost by 2.3 pips per trade, will ...

Are trading costs the main reason of losses in trading?

Let's make this simple, using the example from attached video. You open an account and deposit $10,000. Your strategy delivers a 40% return in the first year. In my universe, the 40% return is net transaction costs, so at the end of the year, the ...

Are trading costs the main reason of losses in trading?

Well done and good approach. I'll take tomorrow off from trading due to NFP in the US. My experience with NFP is not good, so I just avoid it all together. Have a good weekend and good trading to everyone.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Yep I had to change time frames to find entries yesterday and last night on the GA. It just wouldn't retrace on my usual charts. It seemed to be just a determined, unrelenting move. Retracing through the morning so I'm now back on alert. Been n the ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Well done. I've been trading the GA all day. Hope you have been, too! Looks like the reality of Brexit has taken hold. Trade well!

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Ok, so in summary, and based on the way I trade, my costs are different from those of other traders. But the basic point to take away is that I dont care, nor do I ever think about, trading costs. But after reading some of the posts here, trading ...
