There is a forum section called "trading systems", that's where you can find other traders' strategies and systems.
Risk Management is of utmost importance!

I don't think it works like that. Even if I give 2-3 systems that earn, it does not mean that you (or others) will be too. The fact that I understand and mastered them does not mean that they will work for someone else and vice versa.

I completely agree with your claim (tested and confirmed)

I can vouch for this. I gave my system to a friend and he blew his account in less than a week. Trading systems is only maybe 20-30% of what it takes to be a good trader.

Nope.

No BS, it literally will take (most) people years.

If you think the markets are so simple that they can be beaten by some clunky strategy with a few straightforward rules, then (like so many newbie traders), you are very sorely mistaken.

The trick to being profitable in the markets, is getting a feel for where the market wants to move to, and why it wants to move there, 'who is trapped at that level, who gets stopped and/or liquidated at this level, and so on.....and that, takes thousands of hours of screen time.

Sorry, no short cuts.

Hi Gus,

I have to disagree with you here. To have a feel for the market might be your trick but there are literally thousands of ways to pull profit out of the markets. I don't believe the market can be beaten either. I rather see it as a devious mistress who favors you, or doesn't

Everyone has to find his own way to trade. Fundamental, technical, a mix, the position of the moon. Heck, I once a trader even placed his trades based on the tides of a river. He even pulled a profit, lol. He did it just to prove how random it all is, and at the same time, it isn't random at all.
What works for me will probably not work for you, and vice versa. You just have to find what works for you.

The best of luck to you all!

"Either favours you or doesn't".

Right! And whilst a simple strategy may be favoured for whatever reasons for a period of time. Most of the time. It won't be. A trader with a whole tool belt of simple strategies and a knack of knowing when and where to apply them, might find himself being favoured more often than not, but then we are leaving the realm of the mechanical trader and moving into the realm of the discretionary trader.

I am totally open to traders consulting the Moon, or astrological signals to advise their trading decisions. I had a complete clusterfuck last week, where I scratched a profitable short in the GBPUSD, but then thought I would go on to do more or less the same thing in the AUDUSD, only to get stopped by 2 pips, before market reversed back hard in my direction. This and other little niggles where it just seemed that any decision I made would be the wrong one, caused me to go check the planetary movements. Mercury went retrograde on 22nd-23rd August.

You can kick rocks

As of 2023, on earth, we have one rock to rule them all.
All of the most complex systems, all of the networks outstanding are derived & governed by the properties of this hybrid rock.
How much programming can escape the fundamentals of a rock?

oh, and what broker are you trading the USDCNH with, that allows for such tight spreads as to be taking ~6 pip moves, whilst maintaining tight RR policies?

The initial post has a “get me rich quick” vibe. But it’s crucial to remember that everything worthy in life takes time to develop. And what comes fast and effortless, goes away likewise.
Successful trading strategies of others won’t help to understand the market and strengthen your emotional durability. And you want that qualities if you are striving for the sustainable success,

Absolutely true!
Trading is something everyone needs to understand by themselves and the saddest part is that most will never succeed in this.
It's just like learning math in school. The teacher may be a professional in his field but the majority of students cannot and will not understand mathematics.

I think this is a very wrong attitutde to have.

First off all, why would profitable traders be willing to share with you? Yes, it doesn't hurt them. But there is no reason why they would.

Secondly, even if someone shares with you their system/way of doing things, it doesn't guarantee it will work for you. Different strokes for different people.

Every profitable trader knows, that their profitable system is themselves, and the intrinsic understanding and feel for how the market moves, that took thousands of hours of observation and interaction with the markets to acquire, and which cannot be easily captured by a checklist of a few parameters and bullet points.

As for allowing copy trading....personally speaking, fk that. One thing someone basing their own idea on something I post, and then being responsible for their own trade management, quite another thing posting a trade to someone else and being responsible for their trade management as well as ur own.

Who needs that extra level of responsibility and interference with one's thought processes?

Not me.....

......and anyone who can handle it, will generally charge a fee for access to their signals.

Why share?

Give back to the community.

Different strokes for different folks. Spot on.
