Ever wonder why the successful ones leave the forum? I could tell you what I have done this year, but the above is why I (and many others) won't.

No, you don't hear about anyone doing it for 4 years because after 36 months of 50% returns, $100 becomes $145mil. If you had $145mil would you be trading it or lazing about in the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = ...

Millionaires

[/color] That’s because you have yet to discover how ridiculously easy it is to make those kind of returns in a low risk environment. It can be done, is being done, and will continue to be done; although maybe not by you. Mediocrity is a ...

Millionaires

All good points, unless of course you INTENDED to lose money to establish your psychological fortitude. As was stated above, a trader’s ability to succeed is predicated on his capacity to forget about the money. Intentionally taking a losing trade ...

Money is just a scorecard each of us uses to keep track of our progress in the game of life. The more you have the more proficient you are at playing the game. If you aren't making the money you feel you need then it is up to you to improve your ...

Why don't you give it your best shot and let us know how it works out.

Isn't it better to just copy someone else's system?

It was this exact mentality that has led me to ~3:1 at 85%. It IS possible and working to achieve any less is just walking a painful route to mediocrity.

Psychology, Trading and You

Because the 1-2% is what the neophyte traders need to use to learn trade management and keep them alive long enough to figure out the game. If you're looking for an advanced version of how to trade 1%, I would ask why you feel the need to complicate ...

Money Management

I think it's complete and utter horse****. For the guy at home it's helpful to believe that even the best traders fail more often then they succeed, but you will NEVER be a top trader with less then 80% winners. No matter how irrational it may seem, ...

Psychology, Trading and You

Something that helped me develop the mindset of which you speak was to spend less time as a loser and more time as a winner. Starting in the beginning of the week I would try and find a good trade that I felt was sure to be a winner. If I lost the ...

That is by far the worst platform I have ever seen. I'm curious why someone with your apparent capital is mucking around with hotspot when EBS is available?

I feel bad every time I see one of these posts. The only people who seem to respond are demo traders and it gives the impression that no one is really profitable. I am profitable, but as with most profitable traders I am not inclined to discuss it ...

I'm sorry, how large is your yacht exactly? Trading 10 lots for 35 pips on 10 events will yield 35 large in a month. Even if you miss half the move and get slipped for another 10 pips, there is still plently of room to half-ass an exit and get 35 ...

How do you trade news?

You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Fortunately I can easily help you understand why you are so categorically wrong in all your assumptions and conclusions. Just visit: ...

So, how long have we got to trade Forex...?

People act like social security and medicare/caid are some kind of debt, when the simple fact is that they aren't. An individual that pays into the various systems must do so before they can QUALIFY for benefits, but there is no quantifiable ...
