It's not easy for 99% of us. If it was, weren't we all millionaires... But after many years' hard work, yes, it is possible to get in the top among those 1-5% and average between 5-10%. Finn

is it difficult to profit 5%~10%every month?

Super cool set up!

Trading Station with Multiple-Monitors

It's an impossible question. It depends on so many different factors. 1. How good you are 2. What's your trading style 3. How big is your account 4. How much risk per trade are you comfortable with etc. Also, monthly results vary hugely. One month ...

Realistic Account Growth?

Hehe, yep, everything is now revealed. #2 is impossible for me, since I'm a student and I trade also at school via my mini laptop, and I don't always go in the toilet to set / manage my trades. So questions are asked, and I can't resist ...

Discussing trading with non-traders

Small brokers might do that, but bigger ones can't afford that. It would kill their reputation, if they banned successful traders. I have never heard that anyone would have been banned from Oanda or Alpari UK for example.

Trade Transaction Tax - The Death Of All Us!

Sure they want rather bad traders as their clients, but since 95% lose they will get nice profit even when 5% of their clients are winning lots of money. But yes, not an ideal place for a talented trader, but it's good to know there's this ...

Trade Transaction Tax - The Death Of All Us!

One thing came my mind. When you trade with bucketshop type of brokers, who always take the other side of the trade, then there isn't any transaction of different currencies, am I right? We basically just "gamble" against the broker, not in the real ...

Trade Transaction Tax - The Death Of All Us!

Yesterday I did some googling regarding this tax, and found some great articles of it (Finnish though). It seems that this tax is so complicated and problematic to implement that I'm pretty sure it'll not be realistic in the next ten years, at least ...

Trade Transaction Tax - The Death Of All Us!

Hehe, gave it a second thought and I think this would be trading right into a trouble area, so forget "some good space". Spread being 6 pips, it has only about 25pips to go before it reaches possible troubles. Might still work, but not me in it.

Bar close alarm indicator?

CADJPY daily dbhlc. I almost pulled the trigger here, but I don't like the first blue area being right below the bar, so I'm going to pass this one. How do you like this setup? E: Oh sorry, I didn't notice that bakko had the same setup asked.

I'm am also on daily CHFJPY pb and on daily USDCAD buob, and they are not looking good, but I don't mind, because I think I haven't done a mistake here. I have a same kind of attitude to trading that I have when I play poker. Those who play poker ...

How about this one? EURUSD 4H beob. I think the bar is too small in relation to the recent big bullish move?

Hello arthur Actually nothing went wrong here, but it did what was expected and went to first trouble area.

Thank you Jduester and sC! I mean that it would have closed within the previous bar. Now it closed almost, but about 5 pips below the low of the previous bar, so by a definition it wasn't a pin bar, but very close. Actually I didn't take a full bar ...
