I used to read ET regularly some time ago, but now, i access it once a week, read a thread like this one and shut the whole thing down. It seems as though everyone is talking negative things, why this, why that, when 90% of the discussions don't really have a coherent direction .... It's...

Does this thread make sense!??!? Did anyone ask himself this??? What the hell does the work "WORK" in the thread's title means? This is abstract and any REAL trader that is profitable should refuse to read and get involved in this crap.... Who started this thread is imature and...

not quite anybody :) I know someone who went broke from 1mil. But, about the percentage, you are right... It's all about having a constant %.

yeah. everyone here is a successful trader and a SOB now! :))

thrash the threaaaaad !!!!!!!! yeaaaaa :))

I absolutely don't understand what the words "cutthroat" and "tough" have to do with trading.... Maybe one of you non-wussies can tell me! On another note, to the original poster, i recommend you do not speak to other trades about anything that has to do with your trading.... Ever.

ahahhahaha :)) I have a girlfriend, but the 3 woman advice is top notch :)

Believe it or not, just the fact that some people replied to my original post, got me a little out of that state... not bad. I started just now to work on some long term goals....

Well, right now, and i risk sounding mean to some people, ET has been a source of fun... I see a lot of people asking the questions that i used to ask other people back in the day :) and sometimes i send PMs to some people and tell them this and that... but they ain't listening.. Other than...

You're prolly right...

I don't actually care for the real reason volatility has increased, but i know this, when something like that happens, and we have been having that for a week or two now, it time to stop complaining the setups don't work, especially if you are buying dips and selling rallies. You need to get...

I cannot automate my strategy. You see, during the years i have learned to recognize the subtleties of my setups, which are very simple. It's how the setup(given it's valid) "feels" that tells me how much i put into it... OK... Thanks for the replies again. I will take a break, clear my...

Well, i am trading the european/london/london-newyork overlap sessions. I can't say that there is a period of the day when moves are setting up more frequently, as some have occured at different hours in the morning as a continuation of the asian moves, and some occur fresh during the day...

Thanks for the replies everybody. A bit of everything you suggested might be adding up and i need to sit down and analyze and come up with a solution. Basically, I started trading out of the necessity to escape the daily prison called work (i started working at 18). I also wanted to gain a...

Thanks for the post Nihaba. Well, i have been so into my "thing" that i have ignored most of my friends. Some of them i lost, but some of them might still be available. I am in my mid 20s so i have no family to support. I get regular exercise, although i might have to lose a few...

Hey y'all. I have been trading currencies for some years now with a fairly good track record. I am constant with an average weekly return that suits my objectives. The problem is that - and this may be due to the fact that i have been working hard on it all year, being online every...

is this thread of any use to anyone ?

With all respect to trendlines (and i would like to refer to the Tom DeMark trendline construction methods and everything derived from that) i couldn't use trendlines for trading as i prefer something much more objective. Different people can draw different trendlines on the same chart. For...

Mr Ronblack know it all.... Why don't you expose your sizing methods? You just dismissed what i have been using for years. And by the way, i exposed two strategies, of which one is "losses string" safe.... ( I just stated that my system produces 50% on average and trust me i have about 7000...

yeah. no need to start the thread like superman here ... currently i have a sizing dilemma also. My system usually yields 50% winners. I usually go for the 1:1.5 ratio. i settle for nothing lower than that. I size my positions in two ways, and i am still testing out the best one...
