Well, we have one here on ET, EricP and I'm sure there are others who've never posted on a trading forum.

A question for you and all the others who claim highly successful trading is either impossible or a blatant lie (and there seems to be many of you on ET): Why is it impossible, specifically?

I believe he traded his own money (when I asked him back then he said he started with a mid 5-figure account of his own money), and he posted far more recently that he's financially independent thanks to trading gains and no longer has to worry about money. That sounds like success to me...

I found this quite interesting: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-treatments-for-computer-eye-strain/ I used to drink a lot of black currant juice, but I can't find it anymore.

Here's the original tune for those who aren't familiar with the melody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RePtDvh4Yq4 Traders ain’t easy to love, When they’re losing their dough. They’d rather fight a strong move, Than just go with the flow. Dreams of quick millions and new red...

With regard to the OP's request and my recommendation for him, Volman's price action concepts placed me on the right side of several large swings during RTH today and I never had a stop greater than .14.

I'm just suggesting there's no way to know if his "method" (assuming he has a method and isn't just trading by the seat of his pants based on some ideas) is valid during his pre-market hours because he said he's only been at it a week and had a few days where he was up during those hours.

Hard to say how good the method is when he's only been at it a week. Also he's ending up on the wrong side of huge swings during RTH which tells me there's something very, very wrong with the trading method.

Although CL is a technically beautiful instrument for day trading/scalping, it can quickly take you down with the smallest lapse of discipline. I recommend mastering Bob Volman's Forex Price Action Scalping using a 1-min chart/1-min 20EMA during the pit session hours. Once you've done...

I trade similar and would've entered at the same place using a 1-min chart. I look for a specific demonstration of strength or weakness and that's the trigger. The 1-min chart is then used for my entry. I tried a 3-min chart for a few weeks back in 2010 and personally found it...

Oh crap, there's an age limit????

It opens gapped down. Gaps are all about emotional reactions. Buyers step into the gap immediately, thrilled to get what they perceive as a bargain. That's a signal for a "gap and go" scenario. As an intraday price action trader, I'd look to buy a break of the opening 5-min bar, or I'd watch a...

Agreed. My trading plan includes exit strategies for every setup/price environment combo (hereinafter referred to as "setups") I trade. I already did the statistical research involving max favorable and adverse excursions surrounding each setup and developed exit strategies based on that...

Over at Volente's, the OP has demonstrated this fall how to trade futures without a stop loss: Just "exit" and "roll" :D

The key words in your post are "could have". You're making a statement based on a known outcome. FB could have also chopped in a narrow range the entire time, allowing an intraday scalper to extract many times the profit of a swing trader, or it could have experienced an severe overnight price...

If your current trading ability is good enough to attract investors, you don't need crowdfunding. If it isn't, then it's always other people's money you're using, eventually :D

dbPhoenix has been providing in great detail instructions for how to day trade profitably. Amit is demonstrating a consistently profitable day trading method in his price action facebook journal here on ET and RN is contributing some great details. Geez offered me (and others) his trading...

Your friend made a million 20 years ago and then looked down on everyone else. What caused you to extrapolate that to "money destroys the minds of most of us"? The extremely successful traders I've connected with here are very humble and open to sharing their experiences and helping newbies.

Consolidation after a strong push in a defined trend is far more often than not the ideal entry for a measured move in the same direction, which is a price move at least equal to the previous move. The odds are especially favorable if the consolidation occurs in a narrow range (flag or...
