Cable 1.9955... and I'm still bored.

So bored, in fact, that I resorted to downloading bad 80s music on my 'for trading only' laptop. And I mean bad 80s music.
I also downloaded Margaritaville - I think that's rock bottom.
So, please, Cable, do something fun. Enough of this 'oh, I hit 23 fib, I better go down...' or 'oh, my xyz is overbought/oversold'... come on, surprise me!

you seriously believe no one can make over 10% a year.
No, it wasn't what I said. But I am leaving it at that. Warper and myself are not communicating on a level where we both understand each other.

I was a thinking the 5m chart might be forming a S/H/S pattern. Pop over last high would negate this thought.

10% yearly although not impossible either is pretty darn good.

If anyone reads Futures magazine it shows some of the best traders averaging something like 20/30% for any particular year and most of the top positions on their list change year to year..... Trading is a not an alternative to hitting the Lottery.

Response of one of those James Trading gurus... (the guys that also run hedge funds and trading schools and FF and whatever)

lol nice another pro trader that knows everything...


10% a month(on avg) is more then doable...and if i was only making 10% a year I would not be wasting my time trading my own account.
Who should i listen to?


Quoting SunTrader
Warper and myself are not communicating on a level where we both understand each other.
I'm sorry about that. Believe me, the tone of my writing or what i feel when i write, is not in anykind offensive. I can assure you.

Unfortunally with everything that i see everyday on forex, and the time keeps passing by... I'm just not ready to say, "hey you we're right, forex is only really avaiable for multi zillion dollar traders"

I'm sorry. I don't have anykind of proof that make me change my mind.

You don't trade like me. You don't trade the same ammount. You don't trade short term.

You trade every pair like a carry trade... It's not wrong... In fact its easy and almost riskless money, but riskless money comes with low return. Everybody in the world knows that.

I just don't get it, why and how do you speculate about short term traders return, if it's not your main way of trading.

Anyway... explain me this.

Why does the big economies in the world make 3 percent year at max in the best time of their economy cycles. They pass to 1-2 in bad times.... and emerging markets are averaging 10%.

Hard one to respond huh...

And what about this....

Today i lost 2%... Now imagining that i have 2:1 R:R... and i make 150 trades per year. Do you have any idea of how much times i have to lose....

But imagine if i have 1:1 RR.... After 150 or 200 trades.... 10% means that the difference of being a loser/bad trader or making 10% is a "couple" of trades that i won instead of lose.

With that kind of trading, making 10% or losing 10% after 200 trades is a matter of luck since we are talking about a very few difference between a negative win/lose ratio and a positive one.



I hope you understand someday...! You might be a great trader i don't doubt that...... but mathematics and short term trading are certainly not for you.

I give you that... you trade well... but don't judge what you don't know.

Hei.. Warper.. no need to dig up the battle axe of war again. Suntrader already leave it as it. IMHO it might be best to do the same for u. And focus back on the trading and the jokes. Its so much more fun to go with jokes rather than this kind of argument. Just my opinion. Dont want to involve in something like this. Peace...

He still doesn't get it. So I just sent him a short but sweet PM and now have added him to my ignore list. Funny thing until now have never used that feature before.

hey bro,

I got a serious advise for you, I'm from India and let me tell ya that banks here return 10% PA (2 yr) on fixed deposits AND for 6 months its slightly lesser of course.

If you are not happy with this, you might wana invest in MFs, they return anywhere 30 - 80 - 100% every year, not bad and you are safe with economy growing at 9% PA, one of the fastest in the world.

I wonder why you even trade and put your money at risk ?

If one is not making 50 - 100% PA year after year off the FX, I would suggest such guys to invest in financial markets(tiger economies) like Singapore, India, China, Thailand etc. etc.

AND THEN retire, and enjoy your life with your family, do charity OR whatever productive ways you think can help the world.

FX can be a pain if you are not good, then why spend your time on it and risk your money when you can make hell more safely ?

Of course...! Look.... i just gave an awnser to a liar...

Bravado asked him...

The guy said it didn't said anything.

Now that he is seeing that his yearly targets are very wierd for everyone... he sends a PM with not pretty words.

Thats fine lol. Why should i care...

I apologize from my part....

I think its enough discussion about how much u should make per year out of forex. Everyone has their own trading style.. and if they are satisfied with that. SO BE IT!!!
Im much more concern with the fact that we are 30 mins to go from cesarnc --> (becoming) lubianca . Cable hasnt touch his "call" until now.

also, i've been getting 2 or 3 PM's on my trading methods.

this is my reply:

i do anothing out of the ordinary.
i use channels, trend lines, sometimes fibs, MACD's, some candle stick patterns.

there are informations on these everywhere.

know that what works for me may not work for you.

know that,
it is good to listen to or read what other successful traders have to say.

but also know THIS:
the BEST mentor you can have is YOURSELF.

and the best tool you can have is trading ITSELF.

just trade. and keep trading.
