Hi everyone
I just needed to ask the following questions........
1) Are you a professional Forex Trader (i.e. working for someone you have to attain results for to keep your job)
2) What systems, strategies, methods do you use
3) How does your average Forex trader become successful
4) What have you been taught, that enables you to succeed.
Ok I've been trading for about 2 years full time, I have traded literally hundreds of systems from all over the place. Forex Factory, TSD, Baby Pips, etc etc, to name but a few. I have used another 50 robots to try and do it for me, some are actually quite good, but most of the time just break even long term.
I have never come across in that time any information about profitable trading, from real professionals in the industry, just loads of people claiming to have found the "Holy Grail" and they have the system.... the system that will create unbelievable wealth for you. oh! I forgot that wealth will be achieved with little or no effort from you !!
So what works then, is it.................
Breakout
Swing
Trend
Scalp
Grid
Support & Resistance
Pivots
Dumb Luck !
Toss of a coin !
Money management
I've tried and seen them all, backtested them until the early hours of the morning, sometimes at the expense of no sleep at all...... going "Blind Sided" looking at charts. I've designed EA's, written EA's, paid people to do it for me based on my Strategy....... but only moderate success to date.
So come on you Professional Forex Traders lets get down to the "nitty gritty "
What is realistic and works over time ?
Lets put our heads together and get this sorted. We want the definitive answer !!
WHAT WORKS !!
Cheers

Please read the questions asked above (Numbers 1,2 3 & 4), if they don't apply to you or you feel that they do but are not willing to make a constructive addition to this thread then please do not post anything on here. Any non polite or irrelevant posts will be erased and blocked.
This thread is about gathering information from anyone professional/successful that is willing to share there knowledge, wisdom, experience and techniques used to trade. No one has to, but if they do then everyone on here would be interested.
Although many that have posted on here, including myself, have expressed opinions about trading, this thread is not really about that, or is it about debate as to what works, or is it exploring with other traders what might work, or is it the search for the Holy Grail, there are hundreds of other threads that deal with all those issues on FF.
Its about asking if anybody wants to mentor/teach others looking to take there trading to a successful & professional business level and make a success of it. The only question that really remains is do those individuals exist on this forum
