Former members indeed start their own sites and chats. Such facts exist. And Baron should understand that ET should stay in competitive shape which assumes a decent traders chat as a part of online community. If ET stops evolving and drops down to just forum, it will soon lose much of it's...

Chat down again. BTW, I think it is a strategic mistake to restrict ET to just forum rather than full community portal for traders like most modern competitor sites.

I agree with you Mark and indeed there are many rooms. But ET room is somewhat unique and I like it.

It works again today. But really would be better to have some clarity on this matter. Either chat is dumped and we never visit it again or it is alive. Current neither state is worse than any of two outcomes. Baron, as far as I know, some people among ET participants and who are IT...

I would say no market is a place where amateurs can profit, unless they go long the bubble like 90's in stocks or last years in oil... And stop "trading" before it bursts. :D How many "profitable traders" there were in late 90's... Most are blown up and gone since markets became more...

Oh really? Real traders don't trade currency futures? :D

You could avoid so many lines and simply write: "I got reaped in forex"... :D

Crooked brokers have nothing to do with the market. Simply choose credible broker or trade 6E. It's that simple. :D As for informational advantage/disadvantage: Information is a perishable good. Some insider information only matters for smallest price moves. Wider swings and furthermore...

Hahaha, great post!

Absolutely. Technical details of how to trade is the easy part. Hard part which most fail to grasp is changing yourself, your mentality. And this is what takes years of practice.

Tons if information about how to become a trader is available on the internet, including ET. Do some work searching for what you consider good methodology, practice several hours a day for at least couple of years and you will invest more labor in this business than probably 90% people. This...

Yes I do, but not just FOREX. Also stock index and bond futures. And my main point is your question should sound like: "is it possible to trade for a living", because "FOREX" part is absolutely redundant in the equation. FOREX is just another market, not better or worse than anything else...

Check quotes of both and see if there is any difference.

Don't get the point of question: "FOREX trader". Forex is no different than any other mkt... You are either a profitable trader or you are not. Period.

Sad...

Assuming I am clear of any debt (and I really am), $1000 a month would be enough to sustain a living. Not a decent living of course, but possible to live on...

Down again... :(

Same...

It now is working for me.

Same here... Not working.
