Commercial members that cannot backup their trading performance with link to Myfxbook account (not just screenshot but link to the account) are 99% scammers. Basically, all commercial trading educators should be presumed to be scammers unless their Myfxbook trading records prove otherwise.

Don't worry, everyone's an expert on FF. You take the nuggets that make sense to you and filter out the rest of the noise.

i agree 100%. without ff, i would not be able to piece together my strategy. if you go back to posts from 2004 to about 2010..you will see a lot of information that can help you create a profitable strategy for yourself. after that, things seem to be repetitive...

FF existed really at the start when forex became public on a grand scale, so the earliest posts is where you want to look at.

A lot traders who feel they have something to prove, on the forum, by sharing useless information! You can hand them a glass of water when they are dehydrated and they would continue to look for water!
Learn, a forex trader must, unlearn and relearn he will.

not even this, if you see myfxbook is total scam too, if you see it later after performance is there. you can open 20 accounts (even real accounts), trade some in this direction , some in other so you lose only spread) and post the best performing account or connect it to myfxbook. or you use 100 demoaccounts and put in crazy martingale experts and post the best one later, and hide, that 90 crashed same time with only minimal other currencies or parameters, the others wil crash an other day.

performance only counts after you can take a look, before is all fake able so easy and its done most oft the time in easy or hard way, if someone look at this is very unexperienced. i would ignore all what was before first look, so account cant be changed. and of course fake brokers (private whitelabel to fake all trades and change what you want) and wrong brokers (that dont show commission in myfxbook or are shown as withdraws) should be avoided.

I have learnt that you are a troll. I have also learnt that twee is not doing his moderating job well.
Thanks, FxLapozi. I have sincerely enjoyed that post!!

But not to ignore the question... LOL

I have learnt that there are many, many losers here, hidden behind their high impact membership.
I have also learnt that there is no other way to make it in this business than to go your own way.

I have also learnt that the market has as many faces as there are traders. And I have learnt to respect that.

I've learned that the lack of (credible) evidence and a (widely held) consensus standard for reporting results has created an (online) atmosphere where successful traders don't post their results at all, and unsuccessful ones fake them. Therefore the only way to know if a system works or not is to backtest, forward test, and live trade (any likely) system for yourself, which is horribly inefficient.

For someone who trolls as much as you do, how can you not sense the sarcasm? And i doubt you trade. So, let's agree to disagree.

I've learned that the vast majority of what's considered common knowledge or fundamental to Forex trading is complete nonsense and anti-productive to actually making money. Trading systems based around indicators are nonsense. Candlestick "patterns" are nonsense. Technical analysis, as it's marketed to modern Forex traders, in general is bullshit and is the Forex equivalent of reading tarot cards or using holy water. And don't even get me started on this "2% risk" horseshit. If you're only risking 2% per trade, you'd better have a giant account, otherwise your trading strategy is garbage and you need to reevaluate what you're doing.

I have learned that Forex Factory is what you make of it. If you look in the wrong places you will probably find disappointment and become bitter, but look in the right place and you might find a key to success (there are many keys). The problem is that finding your key isn't the end of it, it is just the start - you must learn how to use it.

For me FF is a great place because I take what I want from it and I know what I want so the rubbish is easy to avoid. It also gives me a platform from which to give a little back which is something I enjoy.
