    3 months on and it is panning out

    Thanks Magic, that is sound advice. rarely have i made 10 pips on a trade so bravo to you, but its more fear more than the opportunities not presenting themselves. I just enjoy 'scalping' my small profits daily and consistantly. sometimes i just take 1 or 2 but doing that a couple of times...

    3 months on and it is panning out

    thanks :) i prefer GBP/USD for two reasons: 1. I am very comfortable with it and kind of 'feel the pulse' for want of a better expression. perhaps because i have always traded it since i started. my system apply to the Eur/USD but i prefer to stick with what i know. 2. I find that the...

    'drawdown' ..... its so good to share this and learn. thanks i trade both but find down directions to be faster to exit with less chance of weakening positions during a trade although ultimately both succeed. as long as the trend is definate. i NEVER enter when i'm unsure because i've learned...

    It is impossible

    Hey Bill, I would certainly like to think that more than 95% of traders are making gains on the balance. However, I think that if someone is serious about making trading their living they need the right software, hardware, time, money and emotional balance to succeed which basically...
