Quote from ddaytrader:
My biggest fear with forex is that the powers that be decide to attempt a renewed fixed exchange rate system and take floating rates off the table. But until then ... wait for it ... wait for it ... and trade on!
geezz!!... I don't believe what I read here. First of all, come to reality and second, in case that you don't know, fx is not the only market, there are bonds, commodities, stocks, etc.

truth is only humble tradersare losing traders. Being humble is an excuse for the losers who can't back up their words
hmm. probably because english is not my first language... I did not explain in the best way. So, to be a humble trader is... :
-accepting when you are wrong and get out of the market, don't wait "a correction and get out"... you must to be humble and say yourself: "you are not so smart as you think and you don't know if the market will come back, just follow your business plan!" So "in front" of your trades you should put this "humble" think and eliminate this " I'm the smartest and I can beat the market!!" And if you think in this way you can accept much easyer that you are wrong and you need to cut your losses asap. Of course you can think in this way only if you start from premise that "Markets are for the most part and in some extend, RANDOM! and can't be predicted with 100% accuracy"
-after a while when you had a good period of trading don't get to confident, BE HUMBLE!!! or otherwise the market will HUMBLE you!
You guys need to get out and meet some real traders not just look on tv/youtube and see traders/brokers from City when they are showing how idiots thery are. Try to meet some real traders who trade for themselfs or trade some "small" private funds and exchange some thoughts with them and see how thery are thinking! Of course I can't guarantee that you will meet real professional traders or just some idiots wich pretend to be "the smartest" and they worked in the Shity, sorry, I mean City.

Btw, I don't want to say that all this City traders are losers! But do some research and see what is income from trading and what is income from brokerage operation from different banks and you will see how "well" this City traders are!
And yes, there is a connection betwen beeing humble in trading and beeing humble in real life! But also, if you see a trader with a nice Aston then he can still remain in this "humble" category! ... I don't want to continue this discusion... I don't have to much time to post here. But I think that I explained enough. Apologize for writing mistakes.
