This guy gets it.

Twee? Is that really you? Say hi to your mom for me. I left a crowbar by her bed so you can roll her over - last time she got flat on one side. Oh, and you need to buy another bucket of Vaseline.

I don't know if Nubcake uses any other aliases on this forum, but I'm not one of them. Numbnuts is the only name I have ever used in FF. I do agree with what Nubcake has had to say in this thread though - if you can't clearly and immediately see the ...

Hello Custos, It's nice to see you here again. I find that different assets respond to different measures of sentiment. COT report is my favourite sentiment indicator for commodities, but not currencies. For currencies I follow whatever economic ...

How do you trade? I wait for pullbacks/corrections on long term trends, and if the fundamental reason for the trend is still in play, I enter as price turns back in the direction of the trend.

I take my directional cues from central bank and COT positioning shifts, which I view as a direct proxy for Global Macro. I posted my strategy here: url I don't discuss my trades/positions anymore but I still trade the strategy. Take from it what ...

65% accuracy would make you one of the greatest traders of all time. If you can't profit hugely from even a small edge, your problem lies elsewhere. As for your indicators - suppose you watch tomorrow's weather forecast on your TV. Then you listen ...

Hello old friend, it's good to see you still around too. I still use FF's calendar but generally avoid the forum these days - I posted my entire strategy here in 2016 but soon realized that hanging around this forum is counter-conducive to trading ...

Very good post Hanover - I would also urge any rookie to watch this video, about the mindset and attitude behind trading successfully. video

Here's one I've been waiting a long time for. SPX500 has been supported for a long time by very loose monetary policy from the fed. Now QE has ended and the Fed has started to raise rates, the SPX500 has moved into a downtrend on the weekly: And the ...

At what point would you change your mind about President Trump? What specifically would you need to see happen before you ceased to support him?

Opening a new position in the opposite direction to a trade you have open, has the same effect on your bottom line as closing your original trade. Period. No offense meant, but anyone who can't immediately see the mathematical truth of that ...

Both. If I buy EUR/USD thinking it will go up, I should be able to answer the following questions: Which currency is moving? Is EUR going up, or is USD going down? If the Euro is increasing in value, why is it increasing? If the US dollar is ...

My one piece of advice -- train your mind to assess individual currencies, not pairs of currencies. A nations currency is a tangible asset whose value increases and decreases for a variety of clear, discernible, real-world reasons. Learn and study ...

Stick to the plan you made before you entered the trade - don't just make things up as you go. Make a note of it though, be sure to note your frustration in your journal. If it only happens the once, so be it. But if you end up with a whole lot of ...

While skfx's posts are worth reading, I spend most of my time here hanging out in the lounge, hurling my own feces at passers-by and posting obscure music videos. Reading all my posts will probably leave you with a head full of useless information ...

Interesting..... when I look at my answer from two years ago, I would probably give exactly the same answer now. So maybe I perfected my system way back then, or maybe I unknowingly took a knock to the head somewhere and stopped absorbing new ...

That is exactly my point - she made $7M profit, which is far more significant than the %Gain or absolute gain. I'm proposing that she didn't just have $1.5M to trade with in the beginning ..... maybe she had $5M or $10M, and only chose to deposit ...

You're right, she appears to be very successful. But I suspect that all her capital isn't sitting in those forex accounts, she most likely has invested or deposited much of it elsewhere (assuming she is legit, which she appears to be). Which means ...

I was talking about big time traders. Which I doubt you are, if you keep all your money in a retail broker account.
