The first thing to understand is that you aren’t really trading anything when you are involved with currencies on the FX market. While the language is couched in trading terms, the reality is that you are instead “betting” to some degree on whether or not one currency will rise or fall against another. Understanding that you’re not trading anything, you don’t actually own a currency, and you aren’t exchanging it it for another, is the first step to understanding what you’re getting into.

Most of the "systems" shared on FF are BS.

I think one of the best advices someone once told me was to never read trading forums - Maybe I should have listened.
I was going to say this. I also didn't listen..

Best Advice To Give:
Test everything and believe nothing blindly.

Best Advice i wish i got:
SLAP!!! "I SAID STAY OFF THOSE FORUMS, DON'T LET ME SEE YOU THERE AGAIN!!!!!"

I wish I knew how hard it is going to be. When I started trading, of course as all the naive amateurs, I thought that I will become rich in a matter of few months. Then after a lot of time passed , I started to think I will become rich within a few years. Today I think I can become rich in a mater of a few decades
Really, if someone could convince me back then, I dont know if I would have started it. With that mcuh time dedicated into something else, I could have become the best in another field. I do not regret my past experience and my present, but if someone less experience would like to listen: forex is most probably not what you expect it to be. It is not a gold mine and there is NO way to become rich here fast. If you ever start to make some decent money, which is statistically unlikely, it will take a lot of time, a lot of efforts, hard lessons and failures. At the end, when you finally break the barrier, there will be almost nothing left of the initial excitement, as you will have understoo that trading is like any other professional field and it is not a fast lane to rich lifestyle or anything similar.

for you its not very hard to say why you are here. most of your posts is misleading persons and be a liar to persons. very dangerous.
like i did see you last posts, where you "very" easy has a profit target near 10% each day (and easy to get for you with your words) and tell all the people your stupid "i get this wins with this return" tables.....

you are realy misleading beginners and you love to do it and like to destroy people. i remember you was not even smart enough to understand simple effect of leverage in last days, and now read such bullshit from you.

so why you are here looks very clear if you see what you write for bullshit posts very often!!

yes, thats why in your text you write down "you can very easy earn 5% each day, no problem at all! you are such a big liar!

you words baby: "TO MAKE 4% DAILY IS SOMETHING NOT HARD EVEN 10% IF YOU USE A COMFORTABLE TRADING SYSTEM TO YOUR HEART AND MIND NEAR."

you even dont know what you talked about in last time!! you are a bigger liar and bullshit scammer then i thought!

yeah, 4-10% easy...bla, bla, and bla.
refer back to your excel BS in 10 or 22 days, with your balance increases.
in the meantime think of over if you will be just as willing to risk equity(on what it seems to be on a lucky 0.01 lot grid)?
why show last thursday gains only, why not show the last 2 full weeks? are they all those easy gains?
let me highly doubt you will ever get to those 5 digit numbers, like some above excel sheets suggested.

trading safely? really?
keep kidding yourself, and keep blowing your little accounts!
these sort of excels and big words about easy returns good for short term self boosting, but rarely end in weeks, or months of consistent returns of the kind.
there is always, always another trade!!

because you are known here as a big loser trader in this forum, when a big loser trader saying he has big wins from 4-10% each day, some thing happens: he is still a big loser trader with bigger ins in some days by luck or he is simple a liar or both same time. you are both same time with best chance.

you are realy here to destroy beginners with your bullshit, you dont know the basics of trading but speak to others about wins. thats crazy.

this is really amazing, to follow a system is our aim, and when one is showing his system, then the teasers will pop up like pop corn...

Trading forex is not just to find the holy grill ( in your dreams only ) and to make put and call trades like binary options.

The mm is required and each one of us has his own way to express the mm.

I am an engineer and my experience in forex lead me to use the supportive tools to succeed, excel sheets are not bullshits as you have written, excel sheets will help you to see your way if you are doing well or just playing with fire.

I will stop here on this point and thank you very much.

EITHER YOU ARE A PUT-CALL TRADER WHO IS SEEKING THE HOLY GRILL SYSTEM AT WHICH YOU WILL NOT EVER NEVER FIND IT, OR, YOU ARE JUST A TEASER TRYING TO TEASE OTHERS TO ENJOY HIS FREE TIME IN THE WEEKEND

IN BOTH CASES YOU ARE ALREADY ON MY IGNORED LIST.

AND BY THE WAY... HAPPY WEEKEND FOOL.

you are a funny man, samer.

you dont have to show anything, to be honest i hardly care, these big claims and stupid excel sheets wetdreams tell anyone what there is to tell about you and your success.
if anything, aiming constantly for 10% ( even 25% as your dream sheet says) is the playing with fire...
and telling ppl to do that, as "safe trading" is just reckless, and most certainly misleading.
for them you own to show you are not a bullshitter only, but can consistently pull returns you claiming you can oh so easily do.
all i had is called you out on your own BS!
never expect you to put your money where your mouth is, all is big talk, nothing else.
do yourself a favor, look into your mirror, once in a while and see how you stand your own lies!

now, feel free to ignore me, i had enough of your bullshits!
least the second recent topic you proved how a high impact member is a simple loser in disquise!

PS.
for fun, here is the year...my year. no BS, no big DD%, very decent return as per myfxbook. ( not a demo, micro, mini account, nor an excel dream!)
