butt fucked forex traders ....

all the consistent traders I have seen in ET use stat arb aka mean reversion strategies. classical momentum strategies that worked for decades don't work well enough to pay the bills.

do not be deceived, momentum trading is dead and buried ....best u can do is to break even over 1000's of trades.

acrary probably can't trade his way out of a wet paperbag....

I use a mechanical system to alert me of a potential trade and the rest is my own interpretation of P.A-damn I hate the word as its misused.

still talking about 'system trading ' after all these years.....

read all highly regarded T.A books and system development books note all the systems written are worthless junk to avoid.That era was a different kind of market. now start designing your own system using your knowledge of what doesn't work a.k.a T.A and systematic trendfollowing. target...

I bet you were doing arbitrage before ....which strategy are you going to use in fx? breakouts/ momentum strategies ain't working well coz of low volatility and mean reversion/cointegration just don't work in the long run coz fx is traded in pairs. fx market has the least edges of any market.

this thread is depressing. The old P/L threads was the stuff of legends.

in the P/L threads,all of the consistent profitable traders did stocks. but then I guess the pull to FX is very great...like a moth to a flame.

I remember Richard Dennis stating that 9/10 things that worked in the past don't work now.People laughed when he 'denounced' systematic trendfollowing 13 years ago.now look at the performance of CTAs during this time, FLAT. we all know all The T.A stuff is nonsense. Price action is lame &...

I think lescor should not abandon this thread.I understand how tiring it is to answer the same petty questions over and over. I think we would be satisfied with just one brief review of his trading every start of the year. I think that's not too much to ask.

Corey is in the self actualization phase.I Wonder why Livermore,Richard Dennis etc kept on pushing the envelope and taking unnecessary risk leading to blowups.It was inevitable. I read the assertion by Livermore that no one can beat the market in the long run and it somehow messed with my...

the silence of lescor is an omnious sign about how difficult it has become to daytrade going foward.Mean reversion is failing after a 10 year super run. just like bitcoin mining the markets are becoming exponentially harder to trade until its not worth the effort.

if you have a strategy thats working well in this low volatilty market,youre far ahead of the curve.
