{quote} ok I dont understand why you keep sharing some charts, you proved your point, but this thread is not about that. For me only consistent entry, stoploss and target IN ADVANCE does for me. Those charts are useless, especially in this thread cause we all know when you follow anyone's trades you will only lose. You can stop now cause its beginning to look like you want to prove something to others. Yeah you can make money as a trader, many do, but seeing charts in this thread is the last thing I want to see. there are hundreds threads where...
Actually, these types of posts are on topic for this thread. GEfx or anyone else can post their winning system and it may help someone who is not winning as a trader.

The real time wasters for this thread are the argumentative people who carry grudges from other forums into here which I am hoping they have moved on to haunt other forums.

Why are any of you still entertaining any of the following fools? Haha

Jmn5611, Artcool, Alphadude, Profitfarmer

Can we all agree that any professional trader making profit could care less about what other people make and whether or not they are profitable? This inherently means that all those people mentioned above, whining and complaining about posting profit statements, have not mastered trading and are looking for ways to vent? Anytime someone feels bad about their own skills or actions, I guess it makes them feel better to try and put others down?

LMAO, just put these jokers on ignore and let's move on please. I for one could care less whether anyone here makes a profit, as it's none of my business. I just like conversing about trading and continually learning.

Best of luck to all.

Hi Nealpek,

Don't let these bad trades get you frustrated. I have been enjoying your posts and hope to see more. I see talent in you and I think I can learn from you.

On FF, I have found since I became active again that these people are like bad trades but not to be treated the same. With a bad trade, you study it, see if you can determine what went wrong, and if you can fix it. Then you let it go and say "next".

With these bad traders just let them go and say "next" I use word "traders" loosely as some of these posters are really (im)posters. They don't trade live accounts, they probably don't have demo account. They are here simply to kill time in their boring lives and will prey on anyone willing to argue with them. Don't entertain them and they will move on to better fighting grounds

I am certain I will get a few rebuttals from them, and I will ignore them as it's just another failed trade I made, no need to look at it any more.

Solid wisdom from Atreides and newbeggar. I don't know what's happening to me, must be the infection trying to grow roots in my grey matter!

Your right, I will not respond anymore. Now back to my demo trading....

I can see that the message isn't getting through. I have a wardrobe full of t-shirts. What's the best way to trade? To find a trend and join in. How to determine a trend? Simple Market structure (HH/HL or LL/LH's). Ok, how to join in? Wait for a pullback. Right then, here is where years and years of going around in circles using indicators led to nothing. Waiting for MA crossovers, waiting for this to turn red/green and CCI needs to be above 50 or 100 blah blah... You can use 123's as a back into trend or trend reversal, or break of Cup & Handle...

Awesome! I am relatively new to trading and I have been learning more about Supply and demand from a very confusing 'paid course'.... and it was explained in such a complicated and unclear manner. However your post has literally just given me the whole supply and demand section of the paid course and made it so much clearer with the market makers orders. Thank you!

Added to my position, took a little heat at first. Not sure of targets yet, the action will tell me! {image}
Hard for me to see on the chart but looks like USDJPY. Are you long or short? I am going to get short but not at this level. I will wait for some in the 107.40 area or not get in at all. There is something wrong with YEN, I suspect VIX money is chasing it.

Nealpek,

Remember your own words from earlier about not responding? ;-)

Every response gives them that much more reason to come back. I won't even be referring to their names anymore. Got bigger fish to fry.

Good luck!

I have it now leaning south, but it hasn't made my trading list for a few days now, given a jittery 1H picture, and a neutral 4H chart. That said, it seemed to be targeting levels below but PA is now consolidating at a -.618 fib extension. No compelling reason to buy or sell, IMHO. For what its worth, my friend.

some ideas doesn't say nothing how succesfull a trader is come on, he may be on some demo account etc... and besides we all now there are very profitable traders out there, like I said only enty, stoploss and profit target does it for me. Shouting some ideas is preaty much useless in my opinion, or maybe its just me, yeah it can help some noobs which is a different threat all together anyway...

so I have blow up more than 100 accounts so far with a total of 5.000 usd maybe. I have achieved returns of 300% per month, yet I have lost everything at any given month. The beast has beaten me down sooner or later. Yet I have found a way to be constant profitable. However, I had never had the right psychology to follow my rules. Finally, everything is a state of mind.
and rules come from having more knowledge, right?

we aren't talking about if there are succesful traders out there, its a dumb question really cause there are many, we are talking why they are sucessful, at least thats the way I see it to develop a thread a bit further

nah, I just have a few minutes to waste to reply to this thread, read the title of this thread, of course you can make money as a trader, so this thread will now become posting ideas thread? And like I said, I have hundreds of discussons like this and let me tell you, when i ask any trader to give me an entry stoploss and target they began to argue that this should clear from a setup or some other dumb reason. For me a plan is in advance before entry is taken, with a stoploss and target. Isn't that logical? Am I being negative? Am I here to argue? Nope. I simply state my opinion based on my experience that's all.

For me it's just funny how this threat is developeding.

I took your criticism to heart, and posted a few things for you on my journal, starting here: https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...5#post10782105. I'd love to expand on the topic with you, and everyone else here who knows how to trade.

Cashed out after the long U/j spike and reversed position, the bias is definitely down. It's coming into an interesting area starting at the mid 105's, it's a big zone about 300 pips deep, but for me the reversal lies in this area. Keep your eye on it, this is 4 hr chart!
