And so the show goes on....endless repetitive drivel in most cases. Saying the same thing over and over and over. The same serial posters....mostly red flags....all saying the same thing day in day out. I find it amazing that someone can generate ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

These incredibly volatile times that we are all seeing in the markets are a goldmine for brokers of course. And this is particularly true for those traders that operate off of small t/fs, winning one, losing 2,3 or more etc. A genuine trader needs ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Most people who want to try to make it as trader need to get back to basics. Basics means a few things of course, and it's easier to say what basics doesn't mean, ie silly oscillators, listening to others, wasting time, stupid time frames, ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

It's been an interesting trading week for sure, some will have won, some will have lost, most will not really know why they have either won or lost though. Timing a trade entry is probably the most important part to any analysis. The markets always ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Much the same as before, muppets continue to post muppet rubbish. No one seems to realise that any approach can work so long as the individual sticks to it. There is no hard and fast way to trade, just develop your own rules, stick to a tf, stick to ...

Have I missed anything the last month....nope! The same insecure bunch all relentlessly touting their methods. What's the point.....well, none, other than bolstering their own insecurity by persistently posting their own approach. Anyone with half a ...

Back to EU....as previously shown. Pending order P1 triggered into T1 and nicely hit TP1 for 30 odd, so a decent return for the start of the year. P2 & P3 not triggered but remain for now. All pretty clear clean and simplistic, and as the chart ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I've just been reading a couple of posts from some guys journal. He talks a good story but that's about all. He is a typical example of an amateur trader who looks like he is only a talkative paper trader judging by the fact that all his posted ...

The new season kicks off, and as mentioned before, I'll be looking to find my entries via the H4 t/f for the initial months ahead. Everyone has their system and beliefs, and everyone has their motive for posting. In the main, posters just like to ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A new year is almost upon us, and time for everyone to reflect and consider the past years trading results, and to see whether there is room for improvement. In my case, (bearing in mind, that I am an out and out swing trader using the daily t/f), I ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

So many talking utter rubbish as normal, trying to convince themselves and others of a way to succeed in trading. Pretty much all of them haven't a clue what constitutes a real trading opportunity. They get lucky occasionally, and then say their ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Everything that we know, including our instincts, has obviously been accumulated, honed and developed over thousands of years of human knowledge and natural evolution. Armed with all of that, gives a sentient specie such as our own the capability of ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

There are thousands of people out there all dreaming of making it big in trading. Of course no one makes it in reality. The majority are demo guys, and a few will trade small fry lots. Those are the cold facts. Any trader, aspiring or not, needs 2 ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

More hindsight gurus in these journals today I see lol....I won't mention name(s) Telling everyone how they won....afterwards....wow....brilliant. Do the same, 10 trades in a row, but this time live and with a chart showing entries etc and I ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I have seen only a tiny handful of traders, perhaps 3, maybe 4 that appear to be quite successful and interestingly. none are red flag holders as I recall. Two of those have vanished, and one still posts I believe. Their approaches were fairly ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Whilst it is true (imo) that anyone from any walk of life who has an average level of intelligence could be a successful trader in a relatively short period of time, it is obviously also true that very very few actually do achieve any kind of ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A sad fact is that there's plenty of hindsight traders as usual. People saying what they did and how they made a profit, but scared of showing anything in real time. Let's be honest, any muppet can say they won and if they really feel that inclined ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Forums are filled with thousands of people thinking that they can use an indicator or candle or whatever to take a trade. Obviously 99.9% fail to find any consistency. That should tell you something. All of these do not understand what constitutes a ...
