Hello all,

I started to play with a FX demo account 2 months ago. My first trades were a success as probably been for every other beginner, but after starting to read more and more articles about trading I began to lose. I depleted some demo accounts, started others ... tried to make a system going.

So I decided I am better as a trend trader and the charts I am using are: M30, H1, H4 and D1. I also decided NOT to go live for the moment. I need to learn more ... I tried several ways and my success rate is somewhere around 50%, which is not good IMO.

Can you please point me to some good documentation/articles about trend trading? Strategies, indicators, chart reading ....

I am trading EUR/USD pair mostly.

Thank you all.

Everything you need to know about Jacko;s method is in the first page of his thread. You have no experience to understand so READ the whole thing.
You need to decide now whether you want to put the work and dedication it is gonna take to learn this game - if not drop out now.
In trading, there is no bullshit. You either make money or you don't.

Totally agree, forget about making money for a year focus on studying how the market works and finding an edge as well as, then practice.

Jackos thread is here http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=27286, first 10 pages or so should get you going.

I am 1000% sure I want to learn how the market works and become a real trader, make this for a living. If I was going for "easy made money" I would have already lost a lot, but I realized I am not prepared.

Thank you for info.

It is only about learning, making analysis of mistakes and not to repeat same mistakes.
