Trading Without a StopLoss

I hear you man and ever since I ditched the standard "rules" about 18 months ago I've been doing great and all without using a SL. I don't trade the number of pairs as you guys do but do some similar things with what I call a cross correlation hedge ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

If you are trading your own money and live in the USA, you don't need to take any exam. I set up an LLC for my business and chose the S-corp structure for tax purposes. In my opinion if you are doing this full time for a living (which I am) then you ...

Hey Robert, in fact that's just what I did. Just returned from a Forex Conference (meaning legitimate tax write-off vacation against trading profits in my Forex Business) in Cyprus. Sorry to say though that I have no hidden agenda either!

95% Lose in FX is a Myth: % Profitability in the US last year

I'm convinced that you cannot create a positive discussion about people making money in Forex without the trolls attacking and everyone thinks if you post that you make money trading Forex that you must have a hidden agenda. Hedge, I applaud you for ...

Great thread Hedge, and so nice to see an attempt to dissuade the naysayers with some facts. I'm sure the 2 Doomsayers (you know the "M" Brothers!) will troll along here and spew the same old garbage about 99.6% losing and that it's a fact!
