GEfx, Hi there, thanks for sharing. Yes, it is a structured market, definitely. I mentioned before that we retail traders must follow momentum silently, wherever price is going. We small traders cannot make movements on the market because we do not ...

What was your "holy grail"?

Another thing: I cannot stand forums. There's so much just downright, shitty information out there on forums, websites, etc. And there are people who just hate. I still don't quite understand it... are people just jealous that they aren't succeeding ...

What was your "holy grail"?

Fxjesus, There is a reason why market can drop 50% against you within minutes, and why it can run 50% to profit in minutes.

What was your "holy grail"?

Yes, or you can do that. I know this one trader who utilizes all the timeframes and has monstrous periods where he rakes in 5000+ pips a week. Then, I know some traders who purely use 5M timeframes and can rake in 500+ pips a day, including me. My ...

What was your "holy grail"?

I'm sitting here eating my bagel and drinking orange juice, stressing about keeping up with the charts, then I snapped out of it and it hit me like a brick. I usually scalp the 5M timeframe and I'm in and I'm out of trades a few times a day. Very ...

What was your "holy grail"?

Nice, I mainly look at EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and GBP/USD as well. Damn, I'm jealous because I do not have access to exotic pairs like USD/TAR and USD/ZAR, that sounds extremely profitable, wow. Well, if I can't use those pairs, what is your ...

What was your "holy grail"?

Redeflect, Hi there, thanks for sharing! "there's no shortage of opportunities. there's a shortage of patience." great advice, so true. That's the problem with most traders, they do not have the patience to be trading. It really is a virtue. Traders ...

What was your "holy grail"?

Copernicus, Interesting, thanks for sharing. So, what you are saying is that you diversified your trading across a span of different systems for changing market conditions? So sticking to one system was not for you? For me, I believe if I were to ...

What was your "holy grail"?

Darastonius, You are so right, especially about point number 3. I usually just try to take the loss and move on but sometimes I can't help myself and think about "oh, if I would have done this, I could have profited from that trade." Or, I instantly ...

What was your "holy grail"?

Hmsr, I fully agree with you. Why would you share your profitable system when you spent hours upon hours developing it??? You're right, nobody shared anything legit with me either so why would I dispose my view of the market when nobody else helped ...

What was your "holy grail"?

This may sound weird but one of the factors that caused me to trade better is scalping on my iPhone? Lol, I just see things so much clearer on my phone, I have more confidence, whenever I am on my laptop/desktop trading, I'm prone to take more ...

What was your "holy grail"?

So important man, people just do not get it. Sure, switching from multiple timeframes benefit a lot of people but me personally, I don't see the purpose in that. A move is a move... that's all there is to it. Yes, treat it like a job. You must look ...

What was your "holy grail"?

Rogerha, I agree with you man, the key is using REAL money and SCREENTIME. I never used demo. Well, I opened a demo account when I first started out to get a gist of all the buttons but I never really traded on it, I started using live money right ...

What was your "holy grail"?

Deepshtt, (your name is hysterical, applies greatly to Forex haha) You are right. This is a competitive market, the most volatile and hardest market to compete in. I agree, sometimes I still get worried about a trade going wrong. But that's the ...

What was your "holy grail"?

Aus, Oh yeah, sticking to a system and trading small. When I first started out, I was one of the suckers that thought this was how to get rich quick... of course the market humbled me. I learned that it is a slow and steady race. It took me multiple ...

What was your "holy grail"?

Scotty B, Believe it or not, months ago before I even made an account on this website, I have read many threads in which you have posted in. I've learned quite a bit from reading your arguments with other people haha. You and a few other traders ...

What was your "holy grail"?

LOL, people like your pretentious, stupid ass is what's wrong with ForexFactory. Constantly spreading negativity because you're mad about not being profitable yourself. Do not even dare say you are profitable because why else would you be on this ...

What was your "holy grail"?

The big "secret" varies among traders. For me, it was discipline and patience. Learning to sit on your hands when you are trigger happy is extremely difficult. Overtrading is a large factor as to why traders fail. Also, risk management and position ...

The Big secret to trading success

I have been trading for several months now with a live account and learned a lot... unfortunately there is a price to pay when you decide to become a trader. You MUST make mistakes and learn from your mistakes, I believe that is the only way to ...

What helped you the most to be profitable?
