HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, here it is. Being new to the forex system I gotta believe that this is the way to go. Having spent too much time on options and losing a lot of money to the dreaded "expiration" dates I believe that Forex is a breath of fresh air. But now I come to a fork (with many tines) in the road. I would like to learn a sure-fire method of making a living doing this and getting out of the nuclear world that I have been involved with for 20 years now. To the meat of it all I see that there are numerous threads started by what appears to be some very intelligent people. But which one shall I follow??? I started with Billy Ray Valentines' No Brainer Trades which seems to be a no-brainer, then I open another thread with 5 stars and I also seem to be attracted to that one. I am asking you people who have been involved with Forex Trading on the direction that I need to follow. I need advice from the Forex sages to which way to go without overloading myself. Do I just pick one and go? or do I spend the next year figuring each 5-star thread out???..............thanks for listening!

Draw a trendline on the GBP/JPY weekly, and place small sell orders as price approaches the upper line.

Otherwise, my advice would be not to take these forums too seriously. We are all wrong at times. In fact, I'm wrong 50% of the time.

sigh ... there is no substitute for hard work.

stop littering the forums with these idiotic threads.... honestly, how many "HEEEELP!!!!" threads do you see around here?

hint) none.

Yes you should just pick one and study it thoroughly rather than jumping from thread to thread. You wont do much better than BRV's no brainers. He is all about identifying support and resistance and entering trades with an excellent risk reward. Its not exactly "no brainer" for a newbie but its not rocket science either and everything you need to learn it is in the thread, for free!

Perhaps you should start with babypips.com...

Once you have a clear understanding of which beliefs, mental states and mental strategies are the core factors in top trading performance, you can then teach the same skills to others and have them perform well too. And when you can see this success duplicated in others, which we have been able to do in most aspects of trading, then you know you have a workable model.

The key psychological traits of top traders are
1. Personal Responsibility
2. Commitment
3. Their psychological “profile”
4. Working on personal issues (e.g., self sabotage)

Trading fundamentals include the Ten Tasks of Trading.
1. Self Analysis
2. Mental Rehearsal
3. Low-Risk Idea Development
4. Stalking
5. Action
6. Monitoring
7. Abort
8. Take Profits
9. Daily Debriefing
10.Periodic Review

Traders need to be reminded of these tasks and to eliminate any self-sabotage that keeps them from following the tasks.
Many traders have a hard time “believing” this and it is almost the antithesis of what people learn in academic finance. So only you can decide whether it is worth the time to learn more about yourself and the psychological aspects of trading.

"People get exactly what they want out of the markets. Most people are afraid of success or failure. As a result, they tend to resist change and continue to follow their natural biases and lose in the markets. When you get rid of the fear, you tend to get rid of the biases" ~ Van K. Tharp, Ph.D.

Dude this thread might be the only one you need....
