thats easy to say but during the last months we saw that a whole new set of lows and highs were established due to the bad economy of the US so what are the lows that i hould buy at or the highs that i should sell at?

i mean cad reached parity with usd aud jumped to 0.93 pound to 2.1 e.t.c....
It changes every nanosecond

But if you can't see a trend then close your position and go out and tame the squirrels to eat peanuts out of your hand - thats what I do.
Yesterday, one of them got 'mated' by a big buck squirrel while I was feeding it - it's just like forex in some ways - if you stand still for a minute the market will do that to you

I thought I am the ace when I have started my my day with 5% gain on my scalping account. Then I have managed to wipe out the whole of it and some. Then I went mad doubled my risk and worked back the whole of it.... So yes FX can do to me some funny things. And now I am tired and exhausted like after wrestling with a 300 pound b****

Correct acidguy but M just wondering how could this chinese trader deliver the 1,069% in just a matter of 1 week it only means that everytime there are big moves or shall I say strong volatility he perfectly took advantage of that wowww:

Basically the more you risk the larger the loss. What is thought. And that risk should be avoided minimised etc. I tell you straight. Those made extreme fortunes out of nothing have exceptional skills and take exceptional risks too ie go broke or go rich. and when they gone rich they do it again. go broke or go extremely rich. etc. So basically if you want to make a fortune in whatever that is, say FX, you need to take extreme risks despite what is taught constantly that is do not risk more than 2% on any one trade. Why not? If you want to double your money in a year you need to risk a bit more....

My 2 cents.

I think people who make 1,000% in a week are doing little more then just gambling. Sure if you managed to do it then great, but i wouldnt try it again!

I dont think you need to take extreme risks to become as you put it "extremely rich" in fact i think its the opposite.

You see, if you can come up with a consistant trading strategy that works, then in effect you can leverage it to any amount you please. I think its about creating something sustainable, Otherwise you are just gambling and if you get a big win then its best to stop cant keep it up forever.

I agree with you though trading in this manner will lead to becoming very rich or very poor. Depends what one is looking for. Something sustainable or temporary.

Sorry I was talking about the risk taken not the system. This is a totally different domain but I do agree. You cannot take large risk without consistency and discipline. Otherwise, as you said, it is gambling. I have trillions of calculations and I know for a fact that if you risk small your gains will be small no matter how disciplined you are. You have to drive with sure hands and skills if you drive fast the same applies here. By the eay what is extreme risk? If I play conservative I risk 0.5%-1% but I never exceed 5%. You are talking about leverage. Well this is a horribly diversified, rich and complex issue. But basically clever money management is needed but still you need to take CLEVER risk. I did not speak about gambling.

AcidGuy,

Politicians, love to keep us all in the dar, of what they are doing, and what is really happening in the economies here and around the world. The US Economy is no different that all the rest. One goes and they all go into a skid.

They love to in our presence .........and and make up afterwords and then go WITH HUNGRY on our coin. Polititians are all while the Dollar Burns. This is the plan. This can't go straight up. I do see next week being a down week again. AIMO
