Sorry, that's bad advice. This issue has been debated at length in other threads, so briefly.... Given the name 'nedging' for good reason! There was a big dollar prize on this forum somewhere for anyone who could demonstrate the benefits or ...

Why you suck at trading

I hope you're more decisive in your trading! Oh no, wait, you probably don't trade because you claim it's impossible to be profitable long term, or it is possible, or the probability is near zero.......aaggggghhhh, I can't keep up with what your ...

Trading forex profitable is impossible!

Near zero isn't zero though, therefore there is a probability (albeit small) that long term success is possible. Of course it doesn't, by definition an above zero probability makes it possible. Unlikely, if the stats are anything to go by, but still ...

Trading forex profitable is impossible!

You've just lost your own argument with yourself! Although the odds of long term success might be slim that doesn't mean it's impossible. Evidently it is!

Trading forex profitable is impossible!

Oh well if we're going to post pretty pictures, here's one! Is 1100% in a couple of weeks sustainable? Highly unlikely, but everyone has at least fifteen minutes of fame, even in forex! (the small print is especially for you pip_squeaker, I ...

Trading forex profitable is impossible!

Big fanfare build-up but it fizzled out to a bit of an anti climax there forextraderx....... ....so I guess that was a 15 pip trade? I don't remember you mentioning having a stop loss on the original trade so it's not clear what your risk:reward was ...

Why you suck at trading

Splitting hairs, ok by insinuation or omission then, either way like you say it's pointlessly argumentative and not going forward or beneficial to anyone. Not wanting to repeat what's already been discussed or belabour those points I think it might ...

Why you suck at trading

I don't really see it as a wall, it's a discussion forum and as you yourself said the thread wasn't intended to be monologue so I can only assume you were inviting comment. You're making authoritative sounding statements declaring why people suck at ...

Why you suck at trading

Here's an interesting Jim Rogers quote, this is the reason him and others like him don't suck, sorry nothing to do with finding trades that 'can't lose'! "Every trader must come to terms with losing, because all traders lose. In fact, most traders ...

Why you suck at trading

Sorry I just read my post again and it sounded a bit rude! Don't get me wrong, even if the thread helps just one person (and it's likely to help a lot more than one) it's definitely worthwhile and kudos to you for having the time and patience! It ...

Why you suck at trading

Give it time! Anyway it looks like I'm in the wrong thread, all this 'best way to analyse the market' is a real rehash snoozefest and unnecessarily overcomplicating what is in essence a relatively simple process. By the way major players will only ...

Why you suck at trading

Ok cool, I was just making an observation is all, it should be an interesting and popular thread in that case. By the way, a nice easy-to-read as well as entertaining writing style!

Why you suck at trading

I agree with the sentiment in the sentence above, but probably not in it's intended meaning. I'm not sure the answer/solution/fix to the topic question 'why you suck at trading' lies in improving market analysis, which is the route the thread ...

Why you suck at trading

Well that's all well and good in theory, but the reality is quite different. I can't dispute the fact that the vast majority of retail forex traders will lose money overall in the long term but that is more due to the shortcomings of the 'trader' ...

Trading forex profitable is impossible!

This could be interesting if the other side can sustain their side of the debate without resorting to trying to shoot the messenger! Unfortunately these types of discussions usually end one way though.....we'll see.

Trading forex profitable is impossible!

Right, so you're relying on someone else's word and their experience and opinion? What, that no retail forex traders make money consistently? Where exactly did you get that notion, or is that your assumption based on no opinion or experience?

Trading forex profitable is impossible!

I think personality has a lot to do with it too, some people just aren't cut out to be traders. That's not necessarily a bad thing, especially when I think of some of the successful traders I've met lol True

Trading forex profitable is impossible!

Disservice more like! So in your opinion, and from your experience, no one can consistently make money from trading, is that what you're saying?

Trading forex profitable is impossible!

Which is probably why your account keeps going back to $100, you make a few bucks on a series of winning trades and then give it all back on one or two losers! Who said anything about 'most', it's just a percentage of gains, an ...

Doubling up is martingale?

In mind, on paper, attached to a trade.....what difference as long as it's a defined risk? How can you effectively work out a viable trade size without knowing your initial risk? video
