I mean there are many "games" in life when almost everybody wins... not much excitement for people... Similar to how few value free things…Ignored
DislikedNot 99% of traders lose, here I don't agree. But really, a significant part is losing, I would say that more than half, even 70-75%. Just because people do not share positive experiences, it creates the backdrop that most people lose money. I have been thinking about this phenomenon for a long time, because trading gives great prospects, but many really lose. I think I found the answer. It consists of several elements, which are the fact that markets are changing greatly. But most traders, alas, are rather conservative and do not keep up with the...Ignored
DislikedYes some good points but I will add something else which I believe is a key or even vital ingredient in achieving success. One point made by all the experts is this: know when to trade and know when NOT to trade. Using a higher time frame chart can help to identify these good and bad times. When that opportunity comes along one has to milk that trade to the full so that one has taken full advantage of the opportunity. It is not easy but you need 2 or 3 big trades in a month rather then try to "accrue" pips by trading numerous times which is a recipe...Ignored

It is also something with personal structure, some can not wait so long, some want build enough training. With a few trades in the month have can build it not in the way as doing more trades in the same period. You also point the myth around switching to larger timeframe. It holds so strong as this is false. Every timeframe can trade by its own. You must have huge patience trading...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Sorry I meant 2-3 trades a week not in a month. However what you're losing sight of is the fact that the market is not some automated unfeeling robot but it's made up of humans who are working in the major banks and large institutions who trade what we call "the smart money". And they are out to make money at your expense! Yes most of the time during the trading month is spent by them gunning smaller players in an attempt to build liquidity for the next major move up or down which often doesn't last that long. These liquidity building periods...Ignored
Disliked{quote} I also trade now some years and can not regnoize the effort trade higher timeframe. This is false and rookie jump to fast to the myths around. Less trading activity is not what you will secure for margin call. If i somtimes drive my car means not that i can have with my next trip a massive damage. Only if i skip driving my car, other things can happen for sure. If fear is the point not going to trade frequently, better break with trading. Sorry i must take my opinion to these crap, nonsense as you said. Found you aswell trade m5. Was it...Ignored
