Why is trading so difficult?

[padutrader]

Why do I feel like traderGOD is trolling? Two ticks per trade, really? Are you exercising hft trading?

may be
others can call it anything. I call it making money
HFT is not illegal. or is it?

i know, how i should trade, if i want to make a living.

but i just do not have the capital, i need to trade for a living, like a pro:so i trade like an amateur; i trade with lunch money with large leverage so ...i keep blowing accounts.

i do not blow accounts because i do not know how to trade.

What would you do different with more capital ?

if the market, is like in the live chart [below] of eurusd, why on earth, would anybody scalp:it is only when the market is volatile in a range then scalp is an optionView attachment 185974

Why scalp:
- dozens of great opportunities every day
- much easier to make very short term predictions than long term predictions
- providing liquidity --> market compensates you for this over time
- minimise risk (very little time in market, usually just a few seconds)

Profitable traders know to pyramid into trends and stay out of chop.

If you don't pyramid into a trend (make the most of ur winners) you will lose over the long term

With such a rigid and dogmatic attitude you might do pretty good as some kind of religious extremist. In the markets however, you wont survive for very long that way. You wont even have to wait for the "long term".

Trading is not easy. Its not everyone's bread and butter. If everyone could trade, then everyone would be millionaires. The company is a volatile and toxic place. There are many factors to consider before investing in the market.

TraderCod, I remember reading a post that you follow Al Brooks.

There...... that is the reason, and the reason only, that You say that Trading is so difficult.

ROFLMAO

what on earth are Brooks patterns? if i [re]name America, macaroni, does it become 'My America'
There is nothing new in what he teaches: only renaming of old classical technical analysis patterns.

Three pushes, or more, up or down, or both, in a sideways PA movement are a triangle REGARDLESS OF HOW IT LOOKS. Classical tech analysis would not call it a triangle if it doesn’t “look like a triangle”.
