What about the books out there that are compilations of interviews with successful traders? Books like Market Wizards, New Market Wizards, and Elder just released a new book of interviews with successful traders? A lot of them aren't out there ...

Christina: Well what do the technicals tell you about the trade? Where is the trend heading on multiple time frames? Do you know how to figure this out? IMHO, if you don't know how to figure this out and come up with a reasonable forecast based on ...

summit, are you going? I was at his 1/2 day with the DTG group during the summer.

vder, I'm really new at this too, so maybe I'm reading this wrong, but... When I look at this chart I think you definately want to figure out how to plot the trend line here and also on the lower time frame chart. In fact -- stop trading until you ...

She's doing a presentation to the DTG this Saturday and I plan on attending unless something comes up. I'll let you know what I think. I read her Forex Trading Secrets and it was ok but not great imho. And I agree that she seems super keen on ...

AHHH! My eyes! That Dial Gold burns! Dial Gold: It Puts the Red In... P.S. -- Just took my first real winning trade -- 17 pips. Look out George Soros.

Oh heavens.... Since I opened my demo account and started trading I've only closed two trades with surplus pips -- all the rest have been duds. The only reason I got THOSE surplus pips is I hit the CLOSEME button almost immediately after the trade ...

I'm sitting by my mailbox every day, all day, til I get my Murine from Dial.

Is your trading partner there to help prevent you from overtrading FXOpportunist?

LOL -- poor Simon, he only has 8 posts or so and he's already got all the old timers here giving him a hard time. If you can't beat 'em up, might as well laugh with them Simon... But seriously, this and various assorted threads here sort of ...

That InnerWorth article is worth the gold that dragon is hording. As far as your friend -- he's really cheating himself. As the saying goes: "Give a man a fish, he eats today. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime." Your friend is only going ...

I don't know what to expect but I've been bouncing all over with the EURJPY -- I'm ashamed to admit I'm still doing trades that amount to "uh, looks like a down trend to me, let's short"....so I was shorting when it spiked down, then realized there ...

I've been demoing with FXSol, so far I like it. My one complaint is I haven't figured out how to control the entry price -- it seems like every order functions like a market order regardless of how you select to place it. This makes it hard to set ...

Irish: I think the issue is that you want to know the right degree to get "a job". The thing is -- what job do you really, really want? Others have dissected it better than I could here -- I've never tried to work for a bank and wouldn't know the ...

There, you have it. Especially #1. Too many bad projects and a change of venue doesn't change that.

I think perhaps there is something wrong with IT. Maybe not everywhere but it's no accident that I hear so many people say they'd love to leave IT. I'm in IT myself (currently I'm a systems tester) and I'd love to leave it -- I have been for 11 ...

Dial - Is using pin bars any better/worse than using candlesticks for the same reason? I have a hard time "seeing" the pin bars -- especially price. To me they just look like marks on the screen. Whereas I can see what's going on with a candlestick ...

Well, I have to have an Asia centered approach, since my alternative is to stay up all night. That's not so good, since I need to leave for work 6:30-7 am MST. But I actually like the idea of a slower market at least while I'm getting a handle on ...

What struck me as funny about this is one reason I'm getting into forex is that I LIKE sitting at my computer and tinkering with it. And I like research and analysis. I'm interacting with the computer all day and all night. I have to remind myself ...

I've been told so many times that trading Asia is not worth it, that it's scared me off. Truth is, Asia is the only time I really have available to trade without massive pain. So I've been avoiding trading. (during NY I'm busy working for the man, ...
