work on longer time frames and trade 1 strategy till your a master at that then move on to other strategies. also dont follow to many markets focus on just a few.

no indicator is a "holy grail" just like a caprenter who can not build a house with just a hammer, trading is the same way. Sim trade for a few months if not 6 months. start with only 1 lots have a 2% stop every day 10% stop for the month, take your time. If you want to play football you...

i have to agree this is the greatest indicator ever created. hey is that uranus on the opening bar?

whats the point of having 2 balls? you can get along fine with only 1 nut. hell you can get along fine having no balls. Me i like to have both my nuts. If you can trade at an airport with only 1 nut hell all the more power to you. lol.

here's some advice for all you guys that has saved my ass several times. When you lose 10% of your account, STOP trading live for the rest of the month and go to a sim account. refine your system and correct the mistakes you were making in the sim environment. this will allow you to learn and...

if you have never blown up your account you will never become a profitable trader. As in life, in trading first you get the test then you get the lessons. the questions should be how many people have blown up their accounts and then had the balls to try again? I may be down but i am not out...

one thing that has helped me hold my winners a bit longer is just watching the candlestick bars. if im short at a resistance level i will ride the market down(as long as im profitable) using the current bars high + 1 tick as my stop. I let it go where it wants and just follor the bars. i...

trading is 80% mental and 20% system. few points of advice- work on your psychology, dont revenge trade, when you lose 10% of your account stop for the month and sim trade to improve your system, you will never have all winners so don't shoot for that. I personaly after 15 months of trading...

why dont u get a t5400. i got mine from dell and they are great. No problems at all. i did get some more memory but that was it.

Hester its obvious you have no control over your emotions. Perfect example that you are not ready.

did we ever get a picture of Alexis, i just love tall european women! :cool:

i wasn't trying to be rude or judgemental, i was refering to my own knowledge at 18 compared to what i have now. I am only trying to give you some advice so you don't blow your 30k. at 18 you have plenty of time to learn about trading. you need to be taking upper level math courses...

at 18 you don't know shit about crap. here's my recommendation. take your 30k put it in a cd. take mathematics and statistics in college. sim trade for 6 months. No need to rush trading you first have to get knowledge. maybe sim trade for a year, take more college courses. Also date some...

Anyone know anything about this forex system? I don't trade forex but i was thinking about getting into it and didnt want to spend years figuring it out. This triad trading doesnt seem bad but was curious if anyone had any experience with it.

from my experiences i have learned that if you want someone else to make your trades for you, you will always lose. Stop for a minute and educate yourself about trading. there is no short cut and taking other peoples recommendations without doing your own work and not having the knowledge...
