If I had to bet my life on who is the more successful trader I'd pick daytrading, it's hard to pick up emotions on a forum but odds are the least combative person is the one who is achieving in life what he set out to achieve...

(can) small accounts make a living ?!

All I can say is . If you don't like the thread content then don't view the thread. It still amazes me that supposedly successful traders take it upon themselves to watch out for noob traders, in a zero sum game where there has to be many ...

(can) small accounts make a living ?!

My guess is there would be several different questions that need to be answered before your question could be answered. - win/loss ratio of system being used - risk/reward of system being used - monthly income needed to meet obligations - $ goals ...

(can) small accounts make a living ?!

I have to wonder, how a guy who says he did over 3,000% increase on a demo account last year, is still looking around at threads like this. Were you just extremely lucky with your demo pipping last year?

What's Your Biggest Obstacle?

My first trend following trade is over. From a high of 222 pips to a trailing stop hit of +89 pips. I have never won a trade where I felt like I might puke when the trade was closed

USD/JPY Discussion

The whole time I was reading that book that was the impression I was getting. A guy pissed off that people he deemed less intelligent than him were making more money (of course some of them blew up). I only read half the book and put it on the ...

We are approaching VERY serious times

Thanks for the reply. It's odd how easy it is to risk money I posses on a trade where there is a possibility of losing it, but how hard it is to leave money on the table, giving it a chance to turn into more, when it does not even belong to me yet.

Trend Following

In regards to trend following, the hardest thing I have yet come across in trading is not taking profits off the table, staying in a trade until the trend tells me it's over. I avoided it yesterday and find myself up 130 more pips. Now so tempting ...

I bought on the 3rd touch of a 4hr support line I had, took a few hours to go but looks like it might be headed up finally.

THV system, final edition

Ah, but saying that a fixed system with rigid rules and ultimate discipline cannot be profitable over the long term is going to piss off all the folks who want to make money in the markets without expending the effort...

First-Strike & One-Night-Stand users, show yourself and your mods, if you dare!!!

Sounds like somebody is losing a bunch of money in the markets...

Just another instance of government deciding they need to protect people from their own stupidity. It does not take any leverage to blow an account.

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

Pip count means nothing, percentage is how to measure success. Reason being you may gain 100 pips with 1 lot, decide to increase your lot size, and lose 90 pips. You may be positive 10 pips but be down on the account.
