hey, guys, after oldtime jinxed me last night, I had a bad day. And I don't plan on coming back to this site. It's not totally bad, I just took the trade on the daily TF and now I'm in some drawdown, but still with the larger trend. I'm much more comfortable with lower TFs. But this is the worst...

Simpletrades: $1200? I won't knock it because you could have started with $10 for all I know. You're are exactly the kind of person I'd like to compete with. You show some steady results. Just transfer your accounts to MB or Oanda. We get some more people and we'll have a good contest. For me...

Oh, I forgot, if you think IronFX (Cyprus) or Thinkforex (Australia) are bucket shops, I'll be happy to open an account at MB or Oanda, just as you guys would have to do for purposes of a contest. Leverage is lower in the US, but no problem. We just have to agree on an intitial deposit. Now...

Here's the challenge: you open a LIVE account at any forex broker of your CHOICE. If you're American, Oanda and MB have good accounts. You put your CONFIRMED results (2 checkmarks) on myfxbook. Let's see who wins. DEAL? If the site owner is up for it, I'd recommend something where people pay to...

You said it yourself: LT trend is DOWN. Just by knowing that you have a MUCH higher probability going short. My favorite vehicle is the EURJPY. I sometimes trade the 5 min charts, but prefer 15 for intraday. 1-minute results in more RISK than the possible REWARD is worth. The moment you...

oldtime, I don't have 3 years of performance like this YET. hot streak, no. If you really have a trading firm, you would be able to tell the difference between "hot streak" and "consistent results". +$237 on fut contract now. Go look at what I said about the trade setup where someone put...

I totally agreed with you on the exit comment. But the "context" comment, I'm not so sure. Do you mean "discretionary factors"? Yeah, I also thought it somewhat lame that he blacked out what the instrument was. But in the end of the day, a chart is a chart, at least for me.

Once you had the exhaustion candle (to the left of the red arrow down), you should have put in a sell-stop if it went below the doji immediately after the exhaustion candle. That's considered "agressive" by some, but not to me. Your take profit is up to you. I'm very *conservative*, but it's...

Oldtime, you have to be kidding me. What kind of proof do you want? Do you want me to record the trades with the screen maximized? If you want me to trade with you watching over my shoulder, just come here. The guy who kicked me from his chatroom is up 50% this year. Is he also making it up in...

@Stela, stick to top rated brokers. There are a few good forex brokers out there, like Thinkforex. I have an account at IronFX (with the nosebleed high results), but I wouldn't recommend them. I feel that a trader could have even better perfomance with Thinkforex due to the tighter spreads...

0) NEVER BELIEVE **DEMO** RESULTS. They do not reflect "broker games" as I've already mentioned in these forums. As I said, IRON FX DOES play games. Thinkforex and Dukas, no. When people try to show me demos on Facebook, I say DEMO DOESN'T COUNT because the brokers have no financial benefit to...

@everyone else, is this guy a troll? @oldtime You know as well as anyone else on here that it is impossible for me to be lying. Feel free to follow me on Twitter and you can compare what I write there to the results. Also on LinkedIn, same results. You already talked about your account...

That's why in the forex world, we use sites like myfxbook. They are awesome, for making things public or even analyzing your own performance. Today I logged in to see what my st dev was and my expectancy because I had a small loss on Friday. It's a shame that it is not available for Ninja. I...

marketsurfer, I bet people are taking the opposite trade of what you do. Keep posting!! Your gold call is very Nostradamus-like. 50/50 chance. Given your track record, more like 10/90. :D You should consider getting a job in the MSM. Do you look and act a little like Jim Kramer, by any chance?

Humpy, I personally don't read any books anymore. I believe there's too much misinformation or many missing pieces. Why is someone who is successful going to altruistically tell you how to be sucessful?? If people start mirroring their strategies, it will only make things more difficult for...

oldtime, I also worked in a 24-hour major grocery store when I was in school. I was the sole employee at night. I wasn't trading back then, maybe just losing a couple thousand holding losing stock positions or mutual funds (never again). I didn't have a problem being something akin to a C-store...

I'll be curious to see how this plays out. Duarte, you must be Portuguese? If your taxi cab driving neighbor (or brother in-law) starts asking if "investing" is easy- how can he get started, then markets are likely to tank. No kidding, in 2007, I had a 3rd-world bar owner (buteco) ask me that...

nazz, no, I haven't actually started it yet. If they don't refund me, the it will start on Monday. I maybe shoulda talked to some real prop traders [for more time] before paying the fee. :mad: I just hope their platform is easy to work with, like Ninja, MT4, jForex, etc..

Will do. Thanks for the suggestions Dealmaker and the others. My hope was to get something based on my results so that I could look at the wife and say "We have to move back to the US (or Europe)". But I can't even consider moving back there without something better than I already have. I guess...

Speaking of steaks, my wife picked up 2 kilos (4,4 pounds) of trimmed unsliced file mignon and tenderloin at the grocery store for US $23, on sale. One big piece that I cut into several steaks. Nice quality too.. :D Too bad ribeye steaks are hard to find here. I like those too.
