Let's discuss PROFITABLE trades only

Hello!


Good day to all my fellow traders! This thread has been started to discuss ONLY PROFITABLE TRADES. Yes, ONLY profitable trades. If you have made losses on any trade, please don't discuss it here. There are a lot of other threads you can discuss about your loss making trades, but please, not on this thread.

You may ask why am I starting this thread. In the words of Buddha, "The mind is everything. What you think you become". I believe that we should only look at profitable trades, discuss them, think about them, to make sure we just keep taking profitable trades.

Traders of all levels are invited, whether you are professionals or beginners. If you were in a profitable trade, share it with the world! No matter what your strategy/method, if you made a profit, share it with the world! Keep the prosperity going on!

Again, LET US ONLY DISCUSS PROFITABLE TRADES!

Here's to great profits!

Have come across an interesting thread in the recent days, where this trader Tim has a goal of making a million Pounds from his investment of 500 Pounds. He has earned about 50% of his investment in a few days, and he seems to be going strong with his trading. Interesting thread to go through if one wants to see some profitable trades being taken by Tim: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=524945

Oanda has an interesting feature on its website, which shows the most profitable trades taken in the last 24 hours on Oanda's fxTrade trading platform. These are real trades taken by real traders with huge amounts of net pips in the past 24 hours. This list of most profitable trades is updated in real time, it seems, and has many currencies covered, right from majors, minors to exotics. This can be seen here: http://fxtrade.oanda.com/analysis/be...ade-of-the-day.

DailyFX, in its educational information (which is regularly published on its website), talks about the most profitable period to trade every day. I think this is a very important factor to consider, since if you aren't trading in this time period, then you are probably leaving money on the table. They have backed this information with good research collected from the past. And believe it or not, the most profitable session is the Asian session, since its more range bound. It makes sense, since there is lesser volatility in this session because most of the central banks in this session don't move markets as much as ECB, Bank of England or the Federal Reserve does. Yes, the central bank of Japan does move markets, but when ECB, BOE and the Federal Reserve come together during the European session (Federal Reserve coming towards the end of the European session), markets are known to be extremely volatile. More about this can be read here: http://www.dailyfx.com/forex/educati...me_of_Day.html

When talking about profitable trades, we definitely have to honour the greatest, most profitable trades in history. Mankind has always honoured and showered accolades on great people who have done great deeds in the past, and we shall do it too in this thread. Here's a list of the 10 most profitable trades in history: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-1...e-2009-11?op=1. Depending on your age, you may have seen these events in history happen personally. The most recent one is the 'reflation' prediction by the great John Paulson, where he predicted that Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program will lead to spread in money in the economy and take markets to new highs. Not many expected this to happen, because they felt that quantitative easing meant that the economy is in bad shape. But... when you think about it, when more money is circulating in the economy, more goods and services are also going to be bought and sold, which is exactly what has happened in the past few years (and US is making good recovery, thanks to this program). We can all see the evidence: markets are making new highs. This same man, John Paulson, predicted the sub-prime crisis as well! The same trader predicting two major events, and making gigantic profits out of these predictions! His hedge fund alone made over $15 billion when his predictions about the crash of 2008 proved true! Now that's some trader!

Im sorry but to only focus only the profitable trades is a very bad idea one because you have to understand that taking losses is a good thing and should be celebrated for accepting that. To only want to discuss profitable trades is what any monkey that can push a button can do. Whoever you know that is a 'great' trader or the best didnt get there by not taking losses or just taking one trade then becoming multimillionaire. I think discussing losses are the most important because that is where you LEARN and get better. The profitable trade is just what is the outcome of your learning and experience from taking losses and trading screen time. Any noob on this forum will just post winners but then one loss and boom he aint able to post anymore because he has NO capital. Would rather see losses posted TBH.

Whereas you have a valid point, what I have seen on here is that people get fixated with losses and start to discourage/scare others into believing that too. I never dissed losses, if you can see in my 1st or the 2nd post above. You seem to be a smart person to say that, so I am sure you have learnt from your losses and have moved ahead to great profits. This thread is for those who are looking for that silver lining when they have encountered losses or have had a bad day. Just like a person, who, after having a busy day at work comes home and would kick back on the couch and put on something funny on television. To relax, to calm down. Or may put on something that may raise his/her spirits. That's what this thread intends to do. Please, for the benefit of others, share your profitable trades, RTM. It shall only help those who feel stressed out by trading sometimes.

You are a good person, I am sharing my explorer which will show only profit and continued growth, how about that?

Sounds great! Please, go ahead! I am sure a lot of people will love seeing that and wishing for more profits for you! Don't they say you should always spread happiness?
