Cruising around a few threads here and ran across this post. Getting parts to build your own computer, yeah look out for delays and pricey components, especially a good video card. If you dont mind sharing, let's see the end results once complete. ...

Being a "certain type of trader" will be the downfall of any trader overtime. You have to be able to adapt. Adaptability is a key skill in this market and probably any market.

Lost its luster? Largest market in the world, its far from appearing to be on the way out, unless you want to provide some research on why you think that? What are you looking for in a market?

Neither. How much I can make on a new trade does not come into play and I already have determined how much I can lose before placing the trade. Some additional input: Bag up the traditional risk/reward and throw it away. Stop asking yourself is it ...

The brutal truth of day trading

Why backtest, if you can not have faith that that system or strategy you are trading will work? It seems like you believe in live forward testing. My thought here is backtesting is another energy wasting task that people get consumed with. Hopefully ...

Ric - Not sure why you would get any backlash on that. Money management is very important and its a great call out. I think the reason its lacking is because thats they way most are led. Meaning the never get to that point. Most are stuck trying to ...

image Just circling back to this trade, closed at .7427, roughly 150 pips, 2 days. Opened a long trade at .7425. I wont be in this one long.

Curious to know if you took the trade or were able to capture any of those pips?

Heard of...but never researched either one of them. At first glance, does not look like Ampglobal services the US. Might be good options for others not in the US.

You would do this with FX futures. You do have that option living in the US. Take a look at tdameritrade.com or visit the thinkorswim.com site (no affiliation other then, like strat, that is where my account resides.). Plenty other platforms would ...

RickM, thanks for the comment. It would be an interesting discussion for sure, but at the end of the day I don't think it really matters who makes higher profits or who trades less or who trades more given the two scenarios. If I trade once and make ...

Well, lets see those very few, and its not just one post that will do it, consistency is a key factor, I think it would actually make a great thread, if those few participate. Your right, very few here are profitable/successful, this business is ...

So why leave? Seems like you are here for a good reason, being helpful and to make industry related friends. Not many Traders have friends that are traders in this industry unless you are working for a firm, and other scenarios where you may be ...

The USD pairs are all out 5 decimals and JPY pairs are 3 decimals. 10 pips is 10 pips weather your looking at 4 or 5 decimals (USD pairs) or looking at 2 or 3 decimals (JPY pairs). However in discussion, at least for me personally, I always discuss ...
