We are so cynical as traders and with good reason, but I know some just want to help.
and freely share what they know.

Because it happens to be true. It is like the old axiom, don't bring a knife to a gun fight. If you do not stay on the right side of the traders equation, you have zero chance of making a profit. Seems like common sense, but I guess not.

Ok I will share with all of you NOW immediately a less than 2% NO LOSS strategy. Long and sell any pairs right now and you will be guaranteed you will NEVER lose more than 1% of your funds. Anybody who lose more than that can ban me forever and revoke my FF membership. The secret is not to close both trades if you don't wish to lose. No need for SL.
I give this strategy for absolutely free of charge and to be generously shared with all in FF.
Happy trading.

Cheers
Sry its getting boring hehe.

Being free does not mean I am not a scumbag becos I know that my shared free method is a sham and sure to never be profitable. So moral of the story is not all free methods are good to trade and should be held to task for sharing useless strategy destined to fail causing untold misery to those gullible who actually trade it with their hard earned money.

I dont understand the point of sharing strategy here at free. I could share my strategy but most likely it would not work with anyone else unless I would spend most of my day teaching and explaining how and why I do what I do. All strategies need constant fine tuning and rethinking so again I would need to be involved with other trader all the time.
To become succesful trader everyone need his on strategy. One needs to know what he doing and why. Needs to feel comfortable with strategy. Copying others trading is not going to make you better trader. In this business you have to start from zero every day and understand that every trade and sent up is a new one. Trade by trade you either success or fail. There is no easy way.

If you truly feel comfortable with a strategy, you should feel comfortable enough to hear what others have to say without being rattled.

An exchange of ideas doesn't mean copying of trades/strategies. It is simply understanding a different strategy and if it makes sense and can be used to enhance your current way of doing things/trading, then use it. A different opinion/strategy can be true but useless to you. If it is not useful to you, then ignore it.

To me, it is about knowledge. The more you know, the better it is. Having said that, of course apply your own filters.

I beg to differ. To me a robust strategy to trade any asset classes are it is what it is..a robust strategy no matter who uses it. Most failed becos the same robust strategy cannot be applied to ALL assets classes.
I rest my case and good luck.

I believe that we need to share our experience. First of all, in order to support those who gave up. Experienced traders show beginners that earning forex is real. However, copying someone else's strategy is a waste of time, because, as mentioned above, the strategy works only with an individual approach.
Watching someone else's strategy, I choose useful aspects and sort the information as necessary and not necessary.

What is shared here in Forexfactory has nothing to do with real trading. No one is going to spoon feed anyone. What i see and what you see on the same chart is very different. Ofcourse basics can be learnt here in Ff.but not real trading it takes lots of time and patience. ALl those trading systems is all BS. But still noobs go there and fall prey. I kept telling but none get it.

The reason behind this "old-fashioned" rule is that the distribution of returns does not really change - probably since the rice traders in medieval Japan. This means that the probability of sustained price movement is larger than what you'd expect from a normal distribution (i.e. if the statistical process would just be Gaussian noise). In other words, the distribution of returns in reality has thick tails. If one wants to exploit this statistical fact, one should better cut the losses short and let the winners run. Or else the losers run - the distribution of returns has thick tails from both sides.

I beg to differ. There are plenty of profitable strategies shared here in FF.

take for example ProfitFarmer My Way to Highway forum; he does share his strategy and trade it live for all to see.

The failure is to be blamed on the users who are lazy; and not on the people who are sharing good trading ideas.

As a trader I assume that sharing of the strategy it's like a test. my strategy is undergo some criticism. It all depends on personality, I suppose. I don't really like to publish all the details of my strategy. Sometimes it's better to explain in a personal email if someone asks for help.

Great example of an ego driven post. Someone was even kind enough to explain in statistical terms why "cutting losers short" matters. Instead, this poster finds something to reinforce his own belief. I see why you are a member of the suicide kids. Your belief systems are clearly attached to your sense of self worth.

Quoting Ernest Hemingway
He always thought of the sea as 'la mar' which is what people call her in Spanish when they love her. Sometimes those who love her say bad things of her but they are always said as though she were a woman. Some of the younger fishermen, those who used buoys as floats for their lines and had motorboats, bought when the shark livers had brought much money, spoke of her as 'el mar' which is masculine. They spoke of her as a contestant or a place or even an enemy. But the old man always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favours, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them.

Personally I will ride the bears up and the bulls down. One thing that only advanced intermediates to experts understand is that the charts cannot lie to you. You may or may not see what it is telling you, but it will tell you when accumulation starts and ends, and when distribution starts and ends. They are called price action bars, and may happen over one, two, or even ten to twenty bars depending on the granularity you are choosing to look at. The chart will never lie, it is the language of any kind of trading activity. If you cannot read it, don't blame the market, practice more.
