While skfx's posts are worth reading, I spend most of my time here hanging out in the lounge, hurling my own feces at passers-by and posting obscure music videos. Reading all my posts will probably leave you with a head full of useless information ...

One stop shop for fundamental analysis links

Interesting..... when I look at my answer from two years ago, I would probably give exactly the same answer now. So maybe I perfected my system way back then, or maybe I unknowingly took a knock to the head somewhere and stopped absorbing new ...

That is exactly my point - she made $7M profit, which is far more significant than the %Gain or absolute gain. I'm proposing that she didn't just have $1.5M to trade with in the beginning ..... maybe she had $5M or $10M, and only chose to deposit ...

Who is the most profitable trader on Forex Factory?

You're right, she appears to be very successful. But I suspect that all her capital isn't sitting in those forex accounts, she most likely has invested or deposited much of it elsewhere (assuming she is legit, which she appears to be). Which means ...

Who is the most profitable trader on Forex Factory?

I was talking about big time traders. Which I doubt you are, if you keep all your money in a retail broker account.

Who is the most profitable trader on Forex Factory?

Serious traders don't measure their gains by % return of their account - to do that you need to keep all your capital in a broker account, and beyond a certain point that becomes silly. That's why you'll rarely see trade explorer/myfxbook accounts ...

Who is the most profitable trader on Forex Factory?

Yeah it's possible, it's not even as hard as most people seem to think it is. The two biggest drivers of a currency's value are central bank direction (longer term) and current risk sentiment (shorter/medium term). Learn those two things, learn them ...

I want to be a fundamental trader

There is only one way to properly protect yourself from black swan events - including broker risk - and mambomango nailed it. Keep only enough capital at your broker to cover margin requirements and put the rest in an interest bearing savings ...

Black Swan - Are you prepared?

I've watched thousands of trading videos over the years, including many by the world's best traders, but this video - made recently by Tom Dante - is the best I've seen. If you are reasonably intelligent, with a calm, stable and patient approach to ...

Aussie GDP Growth came in higher than expected today which didn't do my AUD/USD short any good ..... but the daily has pulled back to the 20EMA and the RBA is still threatening to cut rates again while the Fed is talking hikes, so if the pullback ...

That's correct .... The US fed is hiking rates, and the Bank of Japan is cutting rates, which is a BUY signal on USD/JPY - but USD/JPY is still trending down on the weekly, so there is no trade opportunity there. (Always trade with the trend). I'm ...

Cool ... don't forget that the precious metals are correlated, they generally go up together and down together .... so if you are risking 1% of your account on each trade and you enter similar trades on three metals, you are basically betting 3% of ...

I've been watching sugar too. Last week there was never really a decent pullback on the daily to get long, but it looks promising with a lot of higher highs and higher lows hovering on or above the daily 20EMA. There is a pullback of sorts happening ...
