My Biggest Problem

Hello, everyone. In this thread, I would like to talk about my biggest problem. I do not understand, for instance, there are Forex traders, Guru traders, who allegedly want to help. They are millionaires. They offer their signals, and at the same time, they are all very popular and in high demand. But why is that so? And many of them, like MambaFX, for example, seem to refund money for signals. I do not want to; I have never given money to signal providers because I understand that I should not do this, as I am not earning now because I am too young. Moreover, the entry fees into their signal groups are at some exorbitant prices because even if I pay now, I do not know there, an entry into signal groups for 50 dollars, then I need to recover those 50 dollars and earn something extra, and since I do not know how to trade, and their trading signals are crappy, then there is no sense in joining. So, how then to earn money, and why do these guru traders enjoy such a huge demand, and it turns out, how do they get promoted on YouTube? Why do people choose them, they also started from some kind of zero, right? It is all about marketing skills. I will secretly tell you, some feeling of resentment towards the whole world came over me, and I also decided to create such a group. I promoted it as much as I could for two months, but all I got was a lot of unsubscriptions, and the number of unsubscriptions exceeded the number of subscriptions, so I gave up on it, and then I cooled down and did not want to engage in fraud. That's it.


I sincerely hope that at least on this site of smart traders, someone will help me, since I don't even know who to turn to. All the mentors, either they ask for money when questioned, or they simply have nothing to say. But personally, I already feel that if they ask for money, then they will also have nothing to say later because initially, they just want the money. Personal mentors can offer nothing. It's just garbage that doesn't even want to make money from people. And when you pay these mentors, all I got were results that were actually quite different from those posted, say, in some groups where customer reviews are located, who are in this group and trade according to these signals. Reality is actually deceptive. That's another thing I realized.

So, first, I want to talk about the very concept of charging money for some knowledge or courses. Let's imagine a scenario. There is a Forex trader who seems to know everything. He just takes money; he makes millions. He charges money for, I don't know, a signal or mentorship. And most importantly, he charges $50-100. So please answer this question: why does he need these pennies? Maybe I am from another planet, maybe I am from a different dimension, but I would never take money for mentorship when I am making millions, because I don't need this money, I would create other passive income sources. And this is just some kind of fraud. Most likely, this mentor is nothing special because making a mere pittance when you are earning a slaught from trading just doesn’t make sense. Let's stick to logic here.


Speaking of free learning methods, as I understand it, there are three paths here. These are videos, for example on YouTube, various posts, articles, etc., from the internet, on various forums, websites, and lastly books. Well, let's first talk about videos. Even if a person, who releases some Forex trading tutorial videos, shares a strategy, and I don’t understand why, let’s say, about an indicator that supposedly doesn’t repaint, although it does repaint, I really don’t understand, does he actually think people are that stupid? Why would he blatantly lie to their face? If an indicator repaints, and he says it doesn't, what kind of nonsense is that? What kind of audacity is this? Even if he wants to say something with his video, it’s that nothing really exists. No matter how many videos I’ve watched, they all say that this indicator is good, price action is good, ICT is good, etc. Something there is supposedly good, but it all turns out to be just empty noise, because much remains unsaid, and most importantly they still try to promote their mentorship and take money from people. Because of this, of course, faith in real earnings from trading is lost. Therefore, after 8 years of trading Forex, I can confidently say that I have not seen a trader who not only makes money but would at least pretend to be a mentor, a legitimate mentor who would show, a, his trading history and, b, how to backtest his strategy on the history of the chart. If he adheres to these two points, then I don’t know, maybe he is very skillfully disguised or he is really that trader, that mentor I've been looking for over the past 8 years.




Well, talking about the Internet, it depends on where we are. Either we're on a type of website like babypips, where normal contact isn't possible, or we're on a forum like ForexFactory. There, at least, you can ask someone if they have comments open under their post, if we're, for example, in a channel about their strategy. So, here you can find a strategy and at least start learning about it. Because I forgot to mention that most mentors, especially if the mentorship is free, don’t really engage with people. They don't want to interact because they have nothing to say, and they are busy not with the human factor but with the material factor.
So, if we talk about information on the internet, excluding forums, it's basically the same as on YouTube 100% of the time. The only difference is that information is presented in text form. As for books, I would rather recommend reading books about psychology than about trading because, again, everything about trading is disappointing. They talk about some completely stupid and incomprehensible funny patterns; there is no specificity. I recently read some trading books, I've given up on it, but when I read them, I got the impression that the author didn't want to focus on what really matters to the person who bought the book. They need a way to make money, a specific template, what to do. How to create a trading plan, there isn't even a guide for that. Just some completely incomprehensible abstract texts that don't stay in memory long after reading the book. Since books are a completely useless thing in trading unless you are reading about psychology, I've given up on that. And I think the traders who will respond to this post also don't read books about trading.


Approaching the conclusion of my post, I want to ask if there might be a fourth option? How can I start making money in trading after 8 years? What's the secret? Because they even say that price action works. They blatantly lie to my face. How can price action work when we cannot be sure that the market structure, that is, this price action, will be maintained further and further? If you don’t know that the market wants to beat you every second and is much smarter than you, then you are completely new to trading, I assume. So these simple tricks cannot work here. They are just childish. It's probably more about the risk-reward ratio. I've realized that this is the last thing I will focus on in my trading career since win rates don't exist. You need to play on some kind of psychology, even cunning. You need to play with the market. Somehow you need to not outplay it but follow it, but not through price action, because, as I mentioned earlier, in most cases, if you have a higher low, when you enter hoping for a higher high, you will be stopped out because it's all just too simple. The market will go against you. Trading is not an easy thing, as those same mentors tell you. If simple methods don’t work here, what will work? What is the main key in trading? My psychology is completely fine. When they say that trading is 80% psychology and 20% strategy, it just makes me shiver because it's such nonsense that should never have been repeated by the person who came up with this heresy. If you don't have a strategy, what psychology are we talking about? Even on the forum here, I read someone wrote that you can even make money with the worst system in the world, the least profitable system in the world, if you have skills. Basically, if you possess some self-control skills, if you aren't afraid to lose or miss a situation, etc. You must understand yourself. I just wanted to throw myself out of a window from such nonsense because lying so blatantly to people's faces, I just don’t understand how the earth bears these people. And the reason why I'm angry with these people, and I think you understand me, is that they just waste our time while we learn. Therefore, I sincerely hope that if you fall for these mentors, you are young, because I believe that one should spend their youth gathering and filtering data, so that later, as I understand, you can build your own system in a complex, custom version.



No one really talks about the fact that these years of trading primarily involve gathering all this noise and later gaining the experience that will eventually enable you to build your success in a trading career. Well, I'm basing this on logic. And all that surrounds me now is marketing—pure marketing, marketing mentors, marketing motivators; they all want to push their project, but unfortunately, they're not out to help people. Maybe I realized this too late, because I am now 19 years old, and before this, I just didn't even understand how the world works. I don't exclude this possibility, and perhaps I should even be thankful to God that I started trading at, it turns out, 12 years old. Sorry, then I’ve been trading not for 8 years, but for 6 years.


So, I would be very grateful if someone could give me some tips or even that very article that would help me achieve success. I speak so bluntly because I'm fed up with all this. And I also suggest, for those who can't help me, at least to engage in some discussion, maybe give some advice. But please, not the clichés like "you need to develop psychology," "you need a trading plan," "you need a strategy," "you need this," "you need that." Maybe I've even morally snagged some mentor right now, so I ask you, dear friend, not to vent your displeasure in the comments under this post. Instead, please just close this tab and do not return to it, since you are already in a good place.


Also, the reason I am writing this post on this forum is that I am confident there exists some Forex signal provider who I may never find, but this signal provider is the only most profitable and legitimate one, and I need to stick with them. There is also some lone mentor who does not take money, who is genuinely a millionaire—I am not talking fairy tales here; I had one such instance, but, unfortunately, that mentor for some reason left the group. Perhaps he wasn't even a millionaire, but at least he pretended to be one, taught us, and gave some profitable signals. There was a time. So, I think he was indeed a millionaire; he showed us everything we asked for, even showed us his money, but he lived modestly, so I didn't really believe him. In general, that's the story. I'm sure there are some unknown groups that are very hard to find out about or are very hard to find, since even that mentor I just spoke of, I found him in a very difficult way and lost him at a moment when I needed help, and I, so to speak, set off again on a free float. And unfortunately, that's my journey. I find someone, then I leave; I find someone, leave; I find someone, he leaves; I find someone, I leave, because I'm deceived. There, I find someone again, I leave, because I am not confident in my future results, as this mentor, for instance, does not allow personal contact. It's all quite sad.

Since I am currently experiencing stagnation in my journey, because I even lack the imagination to figure out what I need to do next, please help me advance further up the ladder. Send me some really cool articles, perhaps videos, articles from forums, links to Telegram groups, and so on. I am sure that there is something out there in this world that I am not aware of, and that just does not pop up in the search results of the same Telegram when I am looking for something

Guru s sell you the dream, thats how they make money. they dont make money trading. If they where selling the truth no one would pay them for it



New Cable Thread & Other Pairs

There is a big disconnect here. People think they can sit down start trading and pull in millions a year with zero knowledge. Tell me, where I can start a business knowing nothing and pull in millions. I will do it tomorrow.

Next, why should anyone tell you how to make millions. Tell me is there any business in the world where someone will encourage the fried chicken to pop into your mouth.

Become a:

Doctor
Dentist
Lawyer
Plumber :-)

Spend 100K on education and suddenly after 5 years of study you will start to pull in money.

So, you have two options, pay for the knowledge, spend five years looking for the solution in trading (It took me 17 years). Or simply cry about how unfair it is that people ask you for money for signal. I know a good signal provider, the guy gets it right and wrong, but mostly right.

I pay him, but never bother with his signals now, because I have the tools to slay the markets myself.

Had I the choice I would have, should have paid someone 10K to teach me, I would have save year, not lost money and had a better life. I post my trades every day in our discord group, most of them are winners, its free.


Your comment " There is also some lone mentor who does not take money, who is genuinely a millionaire" and exactly why should he spend his time helping you?????

Just to add, I run a discord channel because I like trading and trading is really boring, I do analysis so people that don't know anything can benefit from my knowledge. I am not a millionaire yet but at my current rate of growth I will be this year. I spent years at this so I know 99% more than most people, not boasting just saying that most people are lazy, stupid and can't be bother to apply themselves. However, the biggest problem is no free indicator will work, no free information will work either, The markets are manipulated, the "Free Information" you read and "Learn" is total utter rubbish.

You are cannon fodder for the markets and will remain so if you attitude is it must be free.

So you can happily fund a trading account with 2,000 dollars, but don't want to actually pay for real market slaying knowledge???

Why make the broker rich, my advice for you is forget trading, do anything else, keep your money and work on educating yourself.

I do make money trading as well.

real forex traders don't need to sell signals or forex courses to be successful 95 percent of those so call gurus and youtube trader aren't profitable sell dreams to take advantage of struggling people desiring their lifestyle they play on the untapped greed of human nature to fund their luxurious lifestyle if you want to be successful trading you have to gain knowledge through experience learn from others many are here on forex factory but know this is a trial and error there is no 100 guarantee win rate strategy be discipline.

Alright, you wrote, I don't know if this was addressed to me, but you wrote that people can now just sit down, start trading, and they will be making millions with zero knowledge. The problem is that I don't have zero knowledge; I even have more knowledge than these mentors, all of them combined. All I do is study, study, study, study, and study and i'm tired bcs i have nothing left to study LMFAO. I haven't invested money in a long time; I invested it when I was younger and accordingly had less experience. And now I don't even give money to anyone. Because not only did it not work, but also these constant reviews, I don't know, the exposures of many major traders, they fueled, they, so to speak, poured oil on the fire. And therefore, not only do I have doubts about this, but I also have to, it turns out, find a trader who will take money from me, well, let him take it, but the main thing is that I must find the one who takes money and teaches. And in most cases, you pay money, and no one teaches you. When I don't have the opportunity to be a diligent trader, I don't understand why they tell me that I'm whining. I'm not whining; I just want justice. And I'm also curious about which signal provider you know. People are very secretive and even, I think, you won't tell me who your signal provider is, because good information is always kept secret and I think you won't give it even for money. How lucky I was, three years ago I found my mentor, he left, but the main thing is that I was lucky, at least I learned something from him. I don't want to be, actually, a doctor, a dentist, a lawyer, and so on, that is, I think that especially in my country these professions are not valued at all, but for me, the main thing in life is money. Plus, it so happened that I will never quit trading and besides the fact that you earn an infinite amount of money here, trading also causes me a wild interest.

How can a person with so much knowledge from trading earn nothing? He doesn't even try to overthink; he just lacks the simplest things in strategy. Or rather, not things, but one thing. Seventeen years. Seventeen years of studying. It seems too much to me. It seems that somehow some people are lucky, and they find that perfect signal provider in a year, but it took you seventeen years. Honestly, I don't want seventeen years. I think six years is more than enough. I hope you've heard the quote that you need, I think, ten thousand hours to become an expert in some field. And accordingly, if I become an expert in some field, I must grasp all its aspects. I must grasp not only the theory but also the practice. And by practice, I mean money, if we're talking about trading. I see, you would pay someone else ten thousand dollars here. Well, sorry, of course, but it seems a bit irrational to me. If you were just throwing money around, then probably you are either sick or rich. But again, I could now ask you for your Discord channel, well, that is, the link to it. I will see deals there, and possibly there will be necessarily some catch, because you yourself even said that there is no such thing as a free lunch, but at the same time, you, as I understand it, run your own Discord channel and thus contradict yourself. Accordingly, you post some nonsense there. Maybe you manipulate the recording there, for example, you write one stop-loss, then change it to another. Maybe you edit something there, I don't know.
Trading is anything but boring if you're making money. How can trading be boring? I don't understand. If you're not making money, then of course, trading is boring. You know what I'll tell you? The most boring part is trying to climb out of the hole you've dug for yourself when you're trying to start making money. That is the most boring time. Maybe, by the way, I didn't quite understand because of my knowledge of English, because of the language barrier, but you said that I would be better off quitting trading, that I had put it at the end of your comment, that I would be better off quitting trading, to save my money. This is the most incorrect attitude towards me because I have already spent so many years on trading and I advise myself not to quit it, because then I would simply be physically dying of boredom, dying of, you know, missing some opportunity and so on. I could have chosen not to start trading at 12 and just have fun with my friends, but God gave me such an opportunity that I wasn't meant to live like everyone else. And accordingly, if it's not a coincidence, and it's not a coincidence, then it must lead somewhere, and it should lead to success. But what I will have to go through, I don't know. I want to say that I am grateful for your message; you wrote it a bit harshly, but I'm not offended, and I understand your point of view. I hope you are indeed a profitable trader because I've seen plenty of cases where people wrote under a post and pretended to be smart. This is why I don't dive into all these groups and so on, because people are very smart, but they actually pretend to be dumb. Everyone is too sly and crafty, it just makes me want to vomit.

You might say that if you're always looking for a catch, you'll never make money, if you're always distrustful of everyone and so forth. But on the other hand, do you agree that my approach might be correct, because this endless pouring of money into some sc*mbags has to stop at some point, right? I understand that you've become somewhat profitable. So, it is possible to become a successful trader, right? Accordingly, there's no need to give up on it. Maybe, like you, I will need another 10 years to grasp this.

Here is a quote from an actual millionaire trader that sums it up:



Most trading educators are traders who could never quite cut it, which plays a role in their drive to teach others. They are still desperately trying to fathom it all for themselves and it both empowers and comforts them to pass on a big bunch of trading tropes to hopeful aspirants that all seem to make sense of the world, especially so when applied with the benefit of hindsight. Wherever you find a mentor who is talking the talk, but not openly walking the walk and putting into practice what he preaches in real time, then walk the other way. Same thing also goes for a trader that has perhaps had a lot of success in a certain area, doing only one very certain thing, who tries to instruct and apply his paradigms in very different market environments, invariably without ever actually trading those markets himself.

Now, I have come across trading 'gurus' who do deliver. Namely, they set out their stall, demonstrate their thinking, and most importantly off all, openly put it all into action in real time, allowing for their followers to copy trade if they so wish. This is key. It really isn't about setups or patterns. That is what n00bs do. 'pattern chase'. It is about effectively framing the market in order to know when, and when not to apply any given strategy. And that, takes thousands of hours of experience. No written strategy or concrete trading plan can ever come close to capturing what it takes, as I am sure you are aware by now. It is about intuition. Both learned and instinctual.

"Trading is 95% about Psychology"? Yeah sure it is. But erm, best of luck to all trader psychologists out there with anything less than 10000 hours trading screen time under their belts.

Once upon a time, I would have offered to show a few 'tricks of the trade', but I have grown wiser now and now that 'I can', I no longer have the desire to wax lyrical about something which is so empty, boring, and totally fucking arbitrary when it comes down to it.

For those already with significant capital to play the markets. Find a bull market (right now, Gold would be a good pick). Get long, and stay long, long term. Enjoy your life.

But for those who get drawn in and absolutely insist on playing short time frame and/or intermediary swings on high leverage in the likes of Forex or whatever, then if I were to pick out one statement above all others that may actually benefit the trader, it would be....

"the market is there, to take your money off you."

For the short time frame trader, the above statement provides the actual real reason for the vast majority of price action. The market is a parasite, on the hunt for liquidity. When you know that, and when you know how every trader and his dog are haplessly framing the market, because they are doing all the same hapless shit that you have also spent vast amounts of time doing, you may be able to develop a knack of knowing where the market needs to move towards, to trigger the next most easily harvested bunch of Stop Orders. Get good at that, then you are also going to get good at identifying price target areas, which can often also prove to be good trade entry levels (i.e. when the market has just rinsed a bunch of traders, perhaps it no longer has any motivation to continue in that direction, and will thus reverse).

You already acknowledged that when you attempt to apply your Simple Simon setups, that the market is almost guaranteed to proceed to go after your Stop Loss, I am pretty sure you could build your own bespoke strategy up around that. That is how started to finally get good. I started looking for situations where the setups I was trained to look out for, where clearly sitting on a sticky wicket, and would literally trade against my old mentors setups.

Spend long enough closely observing price action, and you absolutely will start to 'get it'. And another thing, this shit has to be done freestyle. So all those rules of engagement and parameters you learned from some 3rd rate 3rd party educator. Chuck em in the bin. Or at least, take it all with a pinch of salt. Hard and fast rules are the death of the Retail Trader. What serves you, will come from within you, although it may take a fucking long time to figure out what that is, and to calibrate and fine tune it enough to become on the whole, profitable and most important of all, safe.....plenty traders out there who have a good run of fortune only to blow up their accounts in relatively short order. In fact, this would be the rule among 'profitable traders' other than the exception.

Ok I read your post. So you did try I will give you that. I was taught by a complete idiot that was the so called master of pattern trading, when after two years of mentorship, which involved me just losing money hand over fist, I said to him how do you make money, he said I am off to China to promote my book.

I told him straight what I thought of him. I then talked to another mentor, this guy was promoting Elliot Wave theory, Dynamic.... I will let you google the rest another clown. When I thought I must be an idiot, because all of my trades just failed, I see him on Youtube making his same crap predictions, they all fail as well. The beauty of it is, he does not even trade for real money. He takes part in trading contests, then shows his results. Sometimes he gets a place most year he looses.

He then shows his years when he got a place, and forgets about the 6 years that he failed massively. So I know what it is like to follow a guru.

Following traders calling trades is just dumb, if they stop, you got nothing. Following their trades if they are winners and understanding what they are doing is smart. I post on my Discord channel before I do the trade sometimes days in advance. All you have to do is see my posts, because unlike these so called gurus, I do my analysis on the markets before the turns happen and I post my charts, before the levels are reached.

Trading is boring, lots of waiting about watching. I do not give a rats arse about winning or loosing. Its like saying to a plumber, I bet you got excited when you fixed that leak, yeah really its the same every day. Its a job, just a job that pays well.

You can't trade because you don't have the correct tools to analyse the markets correctly, you are clueless about what makes a market turn. Its not your fault, this industry is full of scammers and con men. I met quite a few in my time. That why I post my charts live, before the markets turn. Anyone can post a chart after and say I would have sold here.

PM me and I will share the guy whos signal I bought, he's quite good, you can even come on my discord channel and look at my analysis, its fine by me. Maybe you will learn something.

Everyone "sees", understands, puts things together differently and everyone has gained different trading "knowledge" and everyone has different reactions, feelings, and circumstances that we allow to control us or smother our abilities.

After your years of time gathering knowledge you will come to the conclusion that you can no longer depend on others for your journey. This is where you are right now!!! And that is huge progress and you are ready for the next step in trading success.

The majority of long term consistent traders stopped leaning on others and created their own trading system.

Here are some thoughts I wrote a while back after 14 years of gaining trading knowledge that I would want my younger self to know if I did this all over again:

https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...profitable-yet?

Also, these two videos (part 1 and part 2) might help you on the mental side of trading:



Good luck to you on moving forward to the next step of creating your own trading system now that you've gathered more than enough book knowledge to do so.

lmfao so why do they just scam people?

and not “blah blah blah” but my point of view which is way valuable than scammers’ shit combined

Judging by your writing, you seem new to trading, because if you think that among the thousands of people who either pretend they want to help or genuinely want to help, all are scammers, and all, even those trying to help you for free, have nothing to offer, then you are deeply mistaken. This is because, even by probability theory, it would be foolish to assume that a full 100% are scammers. Or just wasting your time. I don’t even understand the purpose of those who deceive for free. I don’t even know what to call them, and I just don’t understand. I judge that they are deceiving not because I am failing at something, which would mean I should leave the group, but because these groups constantly have a new conveyor belt of people, meaning every month a new cycle happens. One composition of people, then another, then yet another, and these compositions keep changing, but only the leader remains the same. The compositions leave because they simply aren’t succeeding, perhaps because there is no real input from the leader, or there is input but it’s complete nonsense and he uses marketing tricks to keep people. So maybe some even realize this and leave, and so on.

After all, why wouldn't I be willing to share my knowledge? I don’t understand, will my knowledge change the statistics? Will 95% of traders start earning and only 5% lose? In other words, will everything be the opposite? Based on your logic, I would be the first one to do this, meaning I would be featured on television across all channels, and I would have the most popular group because I'm the only one in the world sharing knowledge, is that right?
I don’t understand, should I feel psychologically uncomfortable about sharing knowledge? Maybe I feel somehow wronged by the world? But what’s the issue, I don’t understand? Why can’t I be motivated by the fact that... I’m not only changing... I’m not only changing the world around me but also the worlds of other people whom I teach?
So, do you really think there's no one else like I would be, who gives free PROFITABLE signals and gets a thrill from not only earning money themselves but also seeing other people earn? That there's no such person? I would never believe that. You just need to look for, BUT HOW.... AND WHERE R THEY

TINSTAAFL.

Thank you for this informative message, sir, but could u please suggest some traders whose lunch isn't free but comes with lobsters and black caviar? At least for a fee, if not for free

A long post with small writing so did not read it all. But gist there was.

You need less of everything (youtube gurus, telegram groups etc.) Nonsense captured crowds.
Real mentors. Not following signals.
Knowledge, experience, and guidance.
Learn from your own decisions.
Watch and take notes from long timers. Some comment but don't mentor for example.
Forget methods, focus on self and how the infrastructure works. Understand risk. How do professional money managers/traders grow accounts and make income?
Learn from data?

All the best.

I was struggling with currency trading for good 10 years. Its nothing but a sideways movement then one big candle one direction or the other. Stay away from currency trading. Then I changed to gold trading and my results improved immediately. I have very simple strategy with simple moving average and I can make money with that. Maybe its not you, its the market you trading.

With some detailed research you avoid falling into the hands of charlatans and you can find traders who serve you seafood and caviar,
the reason some of these traders teach, is because trading is a risk, and there is nothing safer than having a second source of income.

But don't expect to get rich overnight or make 1 million by investing 1 dollar or have 100% wining trades or using 2000 of leverage or putting your money in a dubious broker, sometimes even the most reputable ones suck, and the list goes on.

"Traders" come to this business undercapitalized, without knowing how the market works, without a tested strategy, with zero knowledge of risk management and without a realistic objective in according to their knowledge.

The majority spend years in this loop until give up.

Cheers

Out of all the Forex educators I have checked out. Charlie Burton is the only one I would 'recommend'. His trading room however comes with a fee (and he is a bit of an arsehole).

He sets out his stall. Trades what he teaches. Allows for copy trading. And he makes money.

And again, like all the other educators methodologies. Chances are if you simply learned his setups and started applying them to the market yourself, then you would LOSE money. Thus the art isn't really isn't in the strategy, but in the trader's understanding of the markets, which has taken many years for him to develop. BUT, having routine access to someone who shows his trades in advance and/or when he is taking them, is generally profitable, and who openly describes his thinking, has got to be better than one of the multitudes of hindsight traders selling Red Herrings justified by cherry picked hindsight examples, with either a lack of real time trading, or worse still, faked real time trading.

You can come to my journal. I'm not selling anything. I have 0 interest in getting you on an IB, PAMM, MAMM, or anything of the sorts. I will never ask you for a dollar. Read through my posts, and you will see for yourself (also to catch up). If you truly want to learn, I truly want to help. Ask anyone in my journal. I sit around all day and give trades and tips, and I'm transparent with everything I do. I've had multiple successful trade explorers, but I am changing projects often which I am constantly updating in the room, so they keep changing. But feel free to ask anyone in there. I hope to see you and anyone else that actually wants to learn without the bullshit.

Hi keyman! Try to look at volume and delta. In fact it is not possible to give tips on forum. Trading is very complicated thing, there are a lot of math under the hood. So I can just point you: read RickM posts. I chose the right road after he pointed it out to me

Dear aspiring trader,

What has caused you so many problems is also what you are asking for in the end of your post.

In as few words as possible, what are you looking for exactly?

Warmest regards,
