One reason you don't want to spoon feed folks is because it will prevent them from coming up with even better trading strategies. Most people do not have the time to spend 25,000 hours on a trading strategy.......the other alternative is to pay for ...

Forex Trading & Secrets!?!

I guess you can liken it to taking down a few wine coolers before the inlaws come in town to visit. It just relaxes you and puts you in a good mood. Do I do this all the time?......No.......but it is OK to do it every now and then in order to ...

Forex Trading & Secrets!?!

It has to do with a thing I coined as "RTB Delta = Red Line Thrust Bar Delta". It is a series of correlations that has taken me years to perfect. I mastered different elements of it over the years, but I was never able to combine all the different ...

Forex Trading & Secrets!?!

Charlie Parker, a musician, was another big time drug user that revolutionized jazz as we know it. There are elements of his creative contributions that you can take for granted. Also, Sigmund Freud was a big cocaine user and revolutionized ...

Forex Trading & Secrets!?!

It wasn't about trading while high.....it was about studying your charts while high. The question was whether or not you could uncover an out of the box strategy while in an altered state.

Forex Trading & Secrets!?!

lol....great!!!

Forex Trading & Secrets!?!

I agree.....however when you are not looking at the market in the right context; it is extremely good at "tricking" your eye into thinking you have a good trade set up when you really don't. It took me years to figure out why a signal would work one ...

Forex Trading & Secrets!?!

I definitely would not advocate taking drugs in order to learn how to trade. I just thought it was an interesting statement from a clinical standpoint. In the 60's a lot of jazz musicians used cocaine in order to stimulate their creative juices (or ...

Forex Trading & Secrets!?!

I use a concept called Red Line Thrust Bar Delta and it has everything to do with TA analysis. It took me from a so so trader to a very good trader. It is not TA in a traditional sense, it is an out of the box concept that unifies TA and ratio ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I will read your comments....just dont get personal. I have never said anything derogatory about any one individual. I just have a problem with the thread itself. I'm sure a lot of people have asked the same question. I think I have been around long ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I challenge you to produce a three sentence summary of what this thread is about. Personally, for me, it is not about TA or fundamentals. It is both. It is not about one timeframe or the other. It is all timeframes working in harmony (unified ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

LOL....that's my point. There is no way anyone can go thru 200 to 300 pages and somehow find the meaning of a thread. When I first observed this thread, around 3 years ago or so; I never thought to post because there was nothing meaty to discuss. ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Oh no....I think it is great that you guys have a place to chat. I just feel that the original meaning of the thread has been lost over time. Personally, I like to see fresh, new ideas and not the same thread over and over again with nothing new to ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one.....the Trend truly is your friend. There are two things that can happen if you jump in early before a trend starts: 1. You will be waiting around forever until the trend is engaged and rolling 2. You ...

Forex Myths

Hmmmm.....interesting. I am fully convinced that in order to trade well you have to think outside the box. It is interesting how drugs help you do this. There are all sorts of ancient cultures that relied on drugs to think outside the box or to see ...

Forex Trading & Secrets!?!

Does ne1 have any idea what this thread stands for anymore? It just seems to exist for the sake of existing. It seems to be a General Discussion type of thread to just shoot the breeze. Perhaps FF should change the title or something.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

I second...............it does not matter really. But I have had a pretty good week so far. I bailed on my GBPUSD short way too early though.....ouch!!!

I dare you show your statement

The whole notion of 10,000 hours is part of an equation for success. If you consider a Competent Mentor, or a competent classroom instruction as variables, then it is very possible to reach a level of competency at the 10,000 hour mark or less. ...

10,000 hours to greatness and the Mastery Asymptote

The reason 95% of people lose while trading forex is because they don't understand that losing is part of trading.

Why 95% of Forex traders lose in Forex?
