That's funny, I always thought it was the other way around.

I learned that many traders here at the factory are rather derisive of "red flag" members. Why is that?

I'm not, but I am guessing because these flags mean nothing.

Flags should be given based on TEs.

It's an odd system they've got here, where flags are given according to the popularity of posts, in other words it has absolutely zero correlation to experience or profitability. Case in point; ex bank trader came on here who knew far more than 99.9% of retailers chasing their tail, offered to help and was chased off by those who'd been upvoted by perennial losers. You can lead a horse to water etc...

Some amazing posts have been written here by those with a red flag. Others with nothing against their name. In other words, it counts for precisely chuff all.

Flags system here is completely messed up I can have you suspended for no good reason and it is a power completely undeserved not all red flags are undeserved but must are

Red flags are given based on the amount of advertising revenue a trader is likely to bring too Forex Factory.

I have learned that cliques are really a thing here at FF. So, here is the story. I was wandering down memory lane as I do on the weekends, and I found this thread. https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...s-waves-cycles I put the OP on ignore because he is a very heavy poster, and the thread is 258 pages long. I wanted to get through the thread in less than a day. Of course, he puts me on ignore in return. This is how the Cuban Missile crisis almost ended the world. I tried to reach out to another...

One thing I have learned is to always do the work, never rely on someone else's forecast and be careful about the overwhelming presence of false information related to trading that you find pretty much everywhere these days and not just about trading, sometimes spread by websites, institutions but also people, especially forecasts to lure retail traders on one side or the other, that and the many trading videos, sometimes with catchy titles trying to sell you courses and stuff and I won't even talk about the scams you find on Youtube trading videos like "Mr Bambi helped me make a $10,000 return with just $500 in 7 days. You can call him on his Whatsapp number which is........." I guess it's all about filtering the noise

Sometimes I think that the industry willfully spreads misinformation to get as much money out of learners as they can.

Actually not - they all like to win but reality is different.

* The market makes money, but not your strategy.

* Decision making is somehow dictated by the market, but not otherwise.

* Behind every loss is one of three possible elementary mistakes:
1. inattention
2. ignoring risk
3. greed or haste

I have learned if forex trading needs confidence and patience, but also dare to take the risk, in this point as a trader doesn't need to scared upon loss, indeed it's part in trading and sometimes inevitable, but if fear mastering minds, whatever step will do it, seems always wrong.

One thing that I have learned is that brokers want you to trade as often as possible, as large as possible.
True but only B Book Brokers... Genuine A Book brokers are only interested in you winning and having some longevity.

I agree, that is why we here in the states have only two FX brokers, and most countries will not take US clients.
