Trading forex profitable is impossible!
You need iron will to trade successfully.
Anyway I saw that you showed a lot of interest in the mouteki strategy. A week ago it turned out that he was as fake as hell. If you keep drawing enough lines on the chart (like he did) eventually the price is going to hit something. That he used fib levels is very nice. And they work sometimes! But not because the law of nature (fibonacci numbers). Just because when enough people drawing those things on their chart and buy and sell at those levels eventually the market will turn around.
My point: It's b*llshit!

You're wrong about this as well.

hey some people spend decades trying to figure out if they have what it takes to be profitable, at least you saved yourself a lot of time and can go spend it where you feel better suited. Nothing wrong with that

So I assume you are here just to read all the topics and comments for fun, because you are already profitable for year after year after year? Right?

I look to see if there is an overwhelming bias among the people here. I also look at other forums as well, but I only post here.
I don't read all the topics. The system ones don't interest me. I've never read James 16 thread or any of the others that so many claim are good (I don't doubt they are, I'm just not interested). I've looked at them, but I don't read them, if you understand that.
I'm highly amused and sometimes annoyed by forums, but I'm also a forum rat by nature. I've frequented guitar and game forums as well as trading forums. I think the main reason is that all three of these things I do (I don't game anymore) are things in which it's hard to find people in my life to share with. This is especially true with trading. Reading these forums help in the loneliness aspect of trading. It helps to know that there are others out there who value the same thing I do and there is a place where they talk about it.
As to making money, yes, for the past three years I've been making money. Will I blow up eventually? Who knows, but I doubt it. I may lose a lot and stop, but I probably won't blow up given my nature. Will I be doing this in 10 years? Who knows? I have a very successful career that I love more than anything, including trading, and I'm doing it full-time again because I missed it so much. For me trading is just retirement money, it's not my ticket to escape the rat race because I don't feel as if I'm in a rat race.
Do a search for Ed Krebs. He has a site called HERB. It's an eye opener. Also, check out Christopher Hitchen's book about god. You're Dutch so you can probably read it in English if it hasn't been translated yet. Also, I just read an article today about an Israeli academic who has just published a book about the history of the Jewish myth. I can't recall the title right now and the paper is at work. No one is challenging him in Israel, but I'm sure the American Jews will be in an uproar. He claims there was no diaspora and that the Palestinians are the descendants of the Jews. That ought to put a lot of panties into a bind.
I look at the news.

But anyway, I would like to thank you for your comment. It is probably the best one in this topic. And thanks for Ed Krebs. I will look him up.
Appreciate it!

Hi all ... I was actracted by the topic of this forum. I'm a 3 year experienced trader. I followed many interesting systems, I've tryed many of them, I took free and also expencive on line courses. I've read tons of e book, spent lot of money and incalcolable amount of time. I lost partially my sight on the computer screen. If you mention a system or book or famous "trading guru" for sure I know him and hei metodology but ... still nothing This "magic" forex market can't give me a regular and sure income (actually, give me just losses that I can cover by now - fortunately - with a regular job
Am I so stupid or what?
Thank you for people who want to share opinion with me ...
ciao Luigi

Yes and you will stay there for a long time, if not ever
Guys, I don't want to start a war here. But still no one can tell me any real reasons why it is possible to trade forex profitable day after day, week after week and month after month.

So you are a profitable forex trader? You got the answers? You are so successful that you have enough to go on a forex forum and post useless comments?

In the university i had some collegues that wanted to graduate, by they weren't able to do so... Hey i would like to be a Soccer player, but i know i will never be one. Some people would like to be traders sure, but they will never become one
Nothing wrong with that, there are plenty of other things to do with your life.
Actually i am not a trader, i am a dentist. One of my clients is a trader and my interest was born from a small talk with him. I really don't need to trade to make money, i got my share.

Positive or negative, it doesn't change the odds.
