If you are not successful why would you do it?? Casinos are for gambling

Mingary immediately comes to mind. He's a shining example that we can succeed in retail forex.

Hi......I am Bala
Of course there are many successful retail traders out there......may be I can help.

there are, but not me for now...

I know a guy. He doesn’t tell me much about what he does, but I know that he went from rags to riches trading forex. He had his own hedge fund and then closed it after the investors were angry at him when he made only 20 percent a year. They were always calling him.
But I know that when he started he did all the noobie mistakes. He only trades usdjpy in the Asian session. Only uses price action. Closes his positions by the afternoon. No overnights. Always uses an emergency stop loss but does not care about risk reward. He only uses stop loss for unexpected circumstance. Korean missive, Brexit, Democrat winning Alabama. But closes the position quickly when the trade doesn’t go his way. He told me that his previous weaknesses was that he was too stubborn. He wanted to win. And he told me that you are a winner when you close a trade when you see the market change, win or lose. Soros used to do the same.

Sorry, my question wasn't clear i meant famous successful Forex traders like Soros but in retail

most, if known, is because not in retail anymore. just like Soros.

Doesn't have to be a celebrity, just moderately famous for trading forex as retail successful.

My friend is famous here in Japan. There are articles written about him in English as well. I see him on Friday. I’ll ask if I can mention his name on this forum.

Well actually if you were to read most of the posts posted in this forum on trading, 90% of the traders here are successful and you will have a real problem to find a unsuccessful one. Hehe.

so many successful RETAIL Forex traders here, we can help .

successful RETAIL Forex traders??? HAHAHAHAHA! ROTF LMAO! You've got to be kidding! The very fact you're asking should tell you the answer.... Think about it......

Just the usual topic that gets very few replies ... I wonder why...

Here you go.

Social trading and trade copying are horribly flawed for both "traders" and "investors", just another scheme that benefits "the house"

Yes. Here is your evidence.

Now, let's have some fun. I'll bet gravitist 10k that he won't be able to restrain himself from posting some kind of reply, directly or otherwise. Same bet applies to the other usual suspects. LOL

And I'll wager an even bigger amount that their replies have no effect on the future performance of the account. Which kind of makes any exchange pointless, as money speaks louder than words, or at least it does in my book.

Get out your popcorn, folks.

Now, no offence, but I'll tell you why I can't take threads like this seriously.

What is "successful"?

Any account showing a positive balance after 1 week? 3 months? 2 years?
10 wins out of 10? 90 out of 100? 700 out of 1,000? (see this)
1% return per month? 10%? 50%, but with a 50% worst case drawdown? (see this and this)
5 consecutive profitable months? 20 profitable months out of 30?
A profit factor of 5 after 100 trades? Of 1.5 after 2,000 trades? (see this)
What about a martingale that's made 200% return so far, without imploding? (see this)

What level of performance is necessary to prove trading 'proficiency' over mere 'luck'? I've recently been arguing this point with skeptics. If somebody is skeptical enough, it doesn't matter what you show them -- even if luck can reasonably be ruled out, they'll find other reasons (e.g. accusations of faked results, demo, whatever -- see this, for example).

At the end of the day, nothing is completely provable. That's why I consider threads like this to be pointless. And that's why I doubt you'll get too many replies from serious traders.

If you're happy with your own performance, that's all that matters.
