Disliked{quote} QUOTED FOR TRUTH. I said it many times in this forum. 99.6% of traders LOSE LONG TERM. Only 0.4% are profitable after 1 year of trading. Go figure, people.Ignored
DislikedI have been trading for many years. I am up $50 Million and change now. But at the beginning, I blew up many $200 live accounts before I finally got over my emotional issues to trade successfully. Back in the day, I worked demo accounts with great passion to test and prove my strategy. When I felt I was ready, I would go live with $200. When I blew that up, I would go back to demo and work out what I was doing wrong. Was it my strategy, or was it me? It was always me. Trading live is a whole new set of emotions to deal with. I eventually learned...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Need students? What fantasy is this? I do not market for or needs students. I have no Forex ebooks etc for sale. I have no internet marketing Forex training web site. Nor have I suggested I am a nice guy. I simply answered the direct question of the OP's subject line. I have made a lot of money with Forex, and I continue to do so.Ignored
Disliked{quote} 200-300% a week for the long term is very very very unlikely, so I don't believe you. But if you're really doing it, good for you!Ignored
Disliked{quote} Dude, you sitting in the cheap seats and slinging shit at people; hmmm, I doubt anyone gives a stuff what you believe. I trade 3 lots per $1,000 in my account, which is leveraged 400:1 ECN-STP. One 34 pip scalp doubles my money. A second 34 pip scalp doubles that doubled amount, for a net 300%. I am good at what I do, and I worked hard for years to get good at it. Known as very successful, occasionally people approached me for mentoring. If I liked them, I agreed. Two have retired when their financial goals were met. Training and mentoring...Ignored
Disliked{quote} There is a simple way of proving your claims - by posting an account statement or better yet, linking up your MT4 in the trade explorer. Again, I don't give two shits if you make a lot of money because I'm pretty sure you don't. There are plenty of great traders who make more in a single year than you have ever claimed to have done., so no need for me to get jealous at your claims. Your claims are however damaging to the newbies because they will try the same thing and blow up their accounts. My bet is that you've lost a good ton of money...Ignored
Disliked{quote} You are not very knowledgeable about Forex brokerages, that much is clear. But then you've been here on FF for a whole 7 days, I guess that is to be expected. ECN and market maker brokers operate entirely differently. ECN brokers take no risk; they simply forward orders to the liquidity pool for a fee. That said, why would you guess I use only one broker? If I wanted to publish my trading accounts, I am sure I would have thought to do that before now. If I had some point to prove or sales pitch to make, I am sure I would have. But for a...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Getting a little defensive, aren't we? That means, I guessed right! The fact that I've been here a mere 7 days doesn't mean anything. I work in the industry and am very familiar with all of this, especially risk management because that's what I do in my real job. 1. If the price spikes and your broker isn't able to fill you at the price you have your stop loss at, the broker can only come after you for the loss. And if you're broke, then he takes the loss. You sound like an absolute n00b. If you read the client agreement of any ECN, you...Ignored
