DislikedTake a look at the attachments. You have spot forex on top and futures contracts on the bottom. This is for swiss / usd.
They in complete opposite directions, comparison between futures contracts and spot forex. Do you see my point, More volatility, wilder swings, typically less of a trading pattern.

DislikedNo actually those two charts are in the same direction. Think about it. Top chart is USD, bottom chart is CHF against dollar. But you are correct, swings are wilder. Forex isnt for everyone, if Futures and equities work for you stick with it, nothing to be ashamed of. Honestly, I dont have 100K to put into futures, if I did I would trade it. FX is riskier, but can more more rewarding than futures and equities combined. I think that's what appeals to some many average people, including me. Best of luck to you.Ignored
DislikedMay be some day I'll revisit FX, as of now I think futures and equities are better suited for me. If I do trade FX it will be a different strategy and very small.Ignored

DislikedNo wonder I don't like cats; they're irritating. Just kidding but what's it to you if people want to post their views on a dead market. We're like fisherman on the dock of the bay waiting for the fish run (which will take place in January) having a beer talking about old times, fishing techniques, the one that got away and fish theory. Why not? What are you doing that's so important?

DislikedI do trade completely discretionary. But timeframe matters if you want to make more than just pips per trade.
Trading lower timeframes increases the decision making and the chances for more errors just like an average driver running with the big dogs in the Indy 500. Sure they can drive, but not at 225mph.
And what kind of strategies are those. The thread author said nothing of timeframe. It is others that made these assertions.Ignored

Dislikedwho does not use stops? I'll use them again when the market dictates it but lately I've noticed the only time I lose is with a SL only to see the market turn around when I'm out. I've been doing this strategy for about three months now and rarely get out of a trade red anymore. I should count my win/loss ratio but can't it being less than a 20:1 respectively. If the market shifts that will require me to use stops again I will do so but until then I am stop free.Ignored
DislikedSorry to say this , but if you find that after you set SL and price hits and turns around...then something is wrong with your entry strategy.
SL is must...you will regret it later if you trade SL free.
Just my opinion, i am not claiming or making any statement here that SL is a must.
if you are ok to take huge loss, that's fine, as long as you know you are taking them.Ignored
