    Young trader, looking for advice regarding future

    Hello everyone, Thanks for your replies. I haven't been keeping up with this thread the past week, and I will tell you why. Firstly, let me say that I have begun a Bachelor of Business (Financial Planning), with the goal of getting an MBA. Also, I have recently researched and become...

    And to those of you who contribute nothing but skepticism and bashing, I can already tell from your posts over an online forum as to why you are unable to get the results you want from trading. One word: E G O

    I do not pretend to know anything about your trading strategy, so don't pretend you know anything about mine either. I originally asked for advice, and many people generously gave it. But it seems like now all there is are jealous, bitter old men, who are mad at the possibility of...

    No, not at all. I do agree, this kind of stuff could definitely be very useful in social interactions. Thanks again.

    I am not disputing your results. You are obviously very successful. However, that trade where you lost 50% of your capital, was gambling. There was no edge, and if this is the same method you applied to other trades (50/50 probability), then your success was due to luck. Like I said...

    That's fine. But their strategies are not the same as mine. I said I trade price action and use technical analysis. That encompasses an endless possibility of strategies. If they are losing, then they are either lacking an edge, or lacking in the psychological component. It is just...

    Also, if you're curious to know HOW I trade, I will obviously not divulge that information in any specific manner. I use Technical Analysis. I do not trade fundamentals, nor do I trade news. I simply trade the market's reaction to news, and stay out of the market during high impact news. I...

    You are welcome to believe what you want. I didn't come here to dispute my results or to boast. I am simply stating reality and asking for advice regarding my future. This has nothing to do with the validity of my results. Yes. I trade currencies, indexes and commodities (gold, silver and...

    Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. Your post is inspiring. Funny also, as I too am abysmal at Mathematics and hate it with a passion. :D Thank you again.

    I came here for advice and that is what I received. And I plan to follow it. I am enrolling back into University undertaking a Bachelor of Business Finance. I may get a double degree in another field, if it will increase my chances of success within the industry. I will also obviously...

    I posted a reply to this previously, but it did not post it for some reason, so I will try again. I do not mean this at all in any offensive way. I am not trying to be rude at all, nor imply that I am more intelligent than you. The reason you lost is blatantly obvious to me, and it...

    Every moment I study is a conscious effort. I enjoy what I do, and I want to do it. I like the fact that I can watch the charts, switch to any time frame, and analyse the probability of outcomes that could potentially lead to making profits.

    I did not mean it like that. I meant that is not my end-game. If I could get an unpaid job cleaning the toilets and getting the lunch of the traders at Goldman Sachs, I would do it in a heartbeat, make no mistake. Or any Investment Bank/HF for that matter. Just so I could be around...

    It is really encouraging to read comments like this. It is comforting to see that someone believes in you, in a world where nobody does. Thank you.

    The competition can waste their time with women. And while they waste their time, I will be improving, and getting better. A common question people ask is, what sets you apart from everyone else? Everyone says "My work ethic, blah, blah, bullshit". This is what sets me apart from...

    And regarding my duration of study each day, I am being completely serious, and I do not regret it at all. I am here looking for counsel, not to waste my time lying to people over the internet. I believe my burning passion for what I do, my extreme determination to succeed, and excellent work...

    Young trader, looking for advice regarding future

    Thank your for taking the time to respond to my thread. I appreciate it. It seems there are a lot of people who are skeptical, and choose to treat me as any other 18 year old, which is completely understandable and anticipated. Now, regarding your criticism regarding my returns and...

    Young trader, looking for advice regarding future

    I know backtesting means nothing, as it does not account for the huge psychological factor of trading, but I have used forex tester 2 to backtest many years of data, in which case, my strategy has always been profitable. In fact, I have never cared, nor noticed any of these changes you speak...
