Knowledge is certainly empowering, but it would seem the unfortunate side effect is to ridicule others.

How else would a retail trader go about it?

Haha very true!

You could have stopped there as that too is a completely fair assessment. As above.

Week has ended (it's 16:07 GMT, I'm done, no point over-trading now): 8 Trades / 5 wins / 1 break / 2 losses (72% accuracy) P/L +91 pips I lost 1 trade because I wasn't in front of my compute to cancel it (the 4282 short). I've smudged out the ...

I understand it's not a system. But you also have to appreciate that anyone could come on here and post cryptic clues, vague hints, glimmers of hope, and argue that not qualifying any of it is merely to defend their position and knowledge which then ...

I'm disappointed by your inappropriate use of the ampersand. Moreover, your post doesn't really add to the discussion insofar as it states the obvious and what we already know without dissecting the details that raised the original question.

EURUSD, what just happened?

I think that's a fair assessment and reasonable to expect or at least ask for quantifiable evidence of the OP accuracy and success. My week-on-week gains averaging 21% would seem rather large but then, I operate with a modest capital which I draw ...

Over time I'm beginning to see that the issue is the education. I won't single out and particular company or website, but most follow the same hard and fast rules about the technicals and the fundamentals, all I see is hundreds of companies making ...

If you have 'it' inside you, why aren't you sharing this information that you expect from others?

I've just taken another 22 pips today, 109 this week (target ~20 daily). Like I said before, I know (I can see) where other traders are and what they're expecting, but I ignore those areas for my own safety and sanity. Am I wrong in what I'm doing, ...

My edge is that I take the counter approach that most would scratch their heads at. I don't look for these big moves because I don't have the arsenal to hunt the big guys, I'm trading the areas of market fluctuations, the folly, the areas that most ...

Perhaps we're not as far off each other as you may think? I had one of those 'hallelujah' moments a few weeks back, I was trying the usual SR trades etc etc but then I saw something between the lines, I saw a heartbeat in the market and the path, ...

Hi Steve, thanks for an interesting thread. I take it you're making considerable money (and I mean a lot) from the markets, after all you 'get this'? I use a scalping system that works on price action to take 20-30 pips each day, I don't use any ...

Where did you copy and paste that from?

EURUSD, what just happened?

Unfortunately not! I completely missed that piece of news. I had a position to short at 1.4357, target 1.4325. At least I'm still up 70 pips this week, I only target 20-30 a day.

EURUSD, what just happened?

Sorry for not posting, I've been refining my process. Instead of posting up hectic trades I decided to take a step back and re-work a few things, I'll be posting up more info this weekend with some great results.

I got caught out by the same punchy move, I had a number of small shorts (3x20pip stops), unfortunately I wasn't at my PC to cancel them - if I'd seen those speed bars on the 5m and 15m I'd have been out!

4% A Day Forever

I've taken another 19 pips and another lost 10. Days total 104 (20). Some Limit Orders still in play, I'll clear the slate this evening if they haven't triggered. I'll post up the trades later for reference and review.
