If I understand correct, I agree,... Many good strategies are dumped everyday because a few trades go bad. I guess it was too much work for some to fine tune it. Lazy comes to mind I guess....

The one reason that trumps all other reasons why traders lose

A quote from the Architect in the Matrix just came to mind. The Architect said to Neo.... , "Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of our greatest strength and our greatest weakness." There is no place for HOPE in ...

You're replying to the wrong guy. That's not my philosophy. I agree that you can be profitable with 2 trades a month. I trade daily so you are replying to the wrong person.

I trade my own account for a living. Tell your story

Yes but wasn't the title of the thread "I trade my own account for a living. Tell your story" The person was telling their story and expressed how they felt which is unique to them. It really doesn't have to be debatable. Anyone reading about ...

I think his post was useful to a newbie who might be over trading so for that I thought it was valid and agree. I read about something similar as well as stated in my post #334. Now on to myself.... I personally have no use for that strategy. My ...

Your post was a good one and I often go back underground in forums as a non-member because the same thing happens to me... Sometimes it's like why bother. However, if your post helped one person it was successful so stick around cause I guarentee ...

Interesting that you say that. In the book Market Wizards or New Market Wizards (I forgot which one I read it in) a few of the top traders interviewed only make one or two trades a year. They are large positions that they may hold for weeks or ...

Long term Vs Short Term Trading

EURJPY is in an uptrend in every time frame. You made a trade against a huge strong upward trend. The probability for success was highly against you. Trade with the trend to increase your probabilities in a trade. So since you are trading off trend ...

Hi there, did you buy or sell? Nothing went wrong yet as it really hasn't done anything yet. Looks like it's trending up slowly right now at 9:54 EST. What is your target?

Price Action and Trading Discussion

Hi there, On the chart provided I don't see a sell-off underway. Highly probable on a clearly defined supply zone but it's not happening yet. That's one serious bull candle there. Clear your mind and don't anticipate anything. Well you can ...

Pure Price Action Trading - NO lines or indicators

Yes clean charts are best but I honestly need my zone box drawn out on the chart. It helps me keep perspective on where price is when jumping to lower time frames. It's easy to see key zones on naked charts in larger time frames but I'm lost once I ...
