A lot of traders didn't realise trading is one of the worst ways to make money.

I don't drink alcohol, I rarely go into pubs, quite like the quaint ones next to mountains I climb and the one my sister in law has in The City. Some have blackboards in for their daily special, maybe you should get one to write your to do list on? Get dressed, tie shoelaces, turn computer on, draw some silly patterns, lose money, chant helpful mantra...hahahahaha

Don't you have a job to get up for in the morning????

There's a lot of sense in this post it's subtle too, therefore it'll whoosh right over the heads of close on 100% of the delusionals on this thread.

manual trading is just a good way to become INSANE

I think maybe some people think that technical analysis only refers to using indicators since they are also called technical indicators.

While others who only use price action analysis are also calling PA technical analysis.

These 2 groups argue a lot since they seem to be opposed to the other type of TA.

Then there's the fundamental analysts who actually to wait for price to be lower if they are bullish, so they are also using some TA, but don't admit to it.

I scalp, try to swing and only use price and one 20ema for my TA, and the basic correlation of the crosses of my main pair, EU.

I make money, or I can, when I actually follow my plan I have for my PA TA.
big money makes big moves and then hides during small money chasing.

if you want a profitable system (statistically) just buy when the previous bar closes above BB and vice versa, you can try different parameters/tf's/instruments to c which one works better. look at the candlestick OC and if h-l is >than...or use a simple MA and look for a slope.

I can't belive it's so difficult for u guys to find a profitable system!!

I agree. But anything else requires action. And I think there is a high proportion of introverted people among wannabe traders. They would not say it and it's quite impossible to see it thru their posts. Hence they see trading as the only way to escape from reality, and possibly make money.
Precisely. It is alright to get into trading. It is the motives behind trading that get people into trouble.

Just forget all about the money. And simply trade properly.

If you do well, you get paid.

If you don't do well, you take small losses and move on.

Traders who trade with the 'MUST WIN' mentality, and those who get emotional with their wins/losses tend to make the worst traders.

For a short time, it's possible. But regularly enough to sustain your living, I am not sure...Do you know someone in your country who can live from trading Forex ? Maybe you?

It's a big 'IF'

Most traders get account rekt forever.

That's why I mentioned it's never a great way to make money. It's not a joke that forex trading is classified as a high risk investment.

Although the Cheetah is the fastest animal in the world and can catch any prey on the plain, it will wait until it is absolutely sure that it can catch prey. He can hide in the bushes for weeks, waiting for the right moment. He will wait a baby antelope, and not just a baby, but preferably one that is sick or limping. Only when there is no chance to miss the prey, it attacks. This is, in my opinion, a summary of the professional approach to trading.
