No grinding halt, I have been super busy with other things but I will not tell anybody to mind their own business as everybody is entitled to an opinion. As far as your post, I believe all trades are gambles. Nobody knows where it is going to go in ...

Jason, you have a hard job. On a positive side, maybe this will push FXCM to step up their security to prevent another hack.

Was an average week. Better then last week. 9/22/15 – Short EURJPY - Short term trade, was a good entry, got clipped shortly after entry, but trade was even. 9/22/15 – Short AUDCAD – Short term trade, was a good entry, just barely got clipped for ...

A boring week. Not much action. Due to the aggressive trend of the market I will most likely not have any long term setups anytime soon. They will most likely be all mid and short term. 9/17/15 - Long AUDUSD - Very short term trade, trade was ...

Thank you Seabreeze Well not happy with this week. I didn't trade Monday. Had a few marginal trade setups but they didn't get to the entry that I like, although one did go for some good money which would at least have put me in the black. Looking ...

Full time trader. My hatred for working in corporate America and reporting to idiots with less education and experience than myself pushed me hard enough to become profitable. When I went pro I had several nights laying in bed, wondering if I was ...

Traders Identikit: What is your primary occupation?

It has already been summed up by others on here, but nobody will give out their hard earned profitable strategy. They have nothing to gain by doing it. A long time ago when I would buy people calls/advice/strategies I remember paying $6,000 for a ...

Does anyone offer tutor sessions?

I sort of use a martingale strategy when I got to the horse track and although I have had some success that is strictly for entertainment. I would never attempt it in trading. It is a fools errand. If you system doesn't work with regular risk then ...

Does the martingale system really work?

I trade 31 pairs, also several futures. I look long term and those setups only come every once in awhile. I have done the day trade thing and have spent thousands on programs, systems, morning calls, ect none with a glimmer of profit but back then I ...

I agree, I don't like MT4 either. I gave it a try for about 20 minutes and no. I look at 6 screens simultaneously so I am a long ways away from the screens and I find the text hard to read. I like to be able to see exactly where my account balances ...

Why do so many people use MT4?

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade or seem negative but I agree 100% with this. I learned a while back it takes more then just technicals to be profitable. I use technicals to get an idea of where I feel the market is going to go, but I use price ...

Expert Advisor: Did you create your own successful EA?

I don't think anybody has brought this up yet, but the US has a 60/40 split on taxes for futures and forex. 60% is taxed capital gains and 40% regular income. If you make $200,000 in forex you will pay about 16% in income tax and that is not ...
