FTI: This is a BIG THANK YOU for the most valuable information ever to set foot on FF. I've been following the thread dilligently from the start and slowly attempted to apply it to my trading. Finally, it's starting to set in my mind. It's working. ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

You are like one of those people that would sentence crazies in the middle ages to death by hanging because they said the world is round but it is obviously flat. You are sewing ideas in other people's minds when you post here, so it is my duty to ...

The reason why 95% of new traders consistantly lose money

It's so sad that you are talking out of your arse. You need to get to know some traders personally that do this for a living, trading intraday. People do it. Most that do it don't define themselves as "intraday traders" they are just traders. They ...

The reason why 95% of new traders consistantly lose money

I think your comments about the fed's plans are slightly off, look at these statements out yesterday: "Fed's Mishkin: Financial disruption poses substantial downside risk to growth outlook; Should take back easing once recovery is established - ...

Trading Contest - Started Feb. 3

The only sad thing is that most of the 1kt members have nothing to contribute in the Trading Room or simply do not do so (the former being the most likely) yet go about requesting to be vouched for in order to stumble around the factory screaming ...

Go ask Jimmy Young what he's going to do when he gets slipped 20-30 pips when anticipating a 20 pip profit? Besides that, Using a market order does not increase the probability of the market going in your favour, you even admit to that- you said ...

Market or Limit orders

Nice thinking leeb, what timezone are you looking at? This can make a difference on occasion. The 50% point is a great level for entries, but here's what I think (based on my gbp/jpy stats): Let's assume we're using the GMT timezone. If price is ...

Sharing a method which has been profitable so far

You are forgetting that traders with a high hit rate >70-80% can make money with negative reward to risk. Whatever you would "rather" do is obviously up to you, but having a positive r/r is not "essential" as you coined it in order to make great ...
