I really dont 'think' if it is supported fundamentally or not- just do what you see. There is only one thing that you can do-Buy at a good price. Many people I know lost money last Friday just because they thought the whole bull move was unjustified and did not "see"

Just be quick, just change your opinion as soon as new facts emerge. Be a bull, or be a bear I dont care but dont pls be a pig in this bizness.

Got to love that. I would love to meet my daily profit and walk away just like you someday but a 16 dollar does not even cover my steak lunch where I live

Hey Guys,

I'm new in forex trading.....

5 months back when i first started out, i lost $1000 within 3 days (even not knowing at that time what pip is)..... after which, i told myself to learn as much as possible.....

I'm still learning and cant even compare 0.0000001% to any of you guys out there who's more experience and have more money to roll......

I've added another $500 dollars into my account 2 months back and this time i'm focusing on how to remove my emotions out of trading.....I am willing to lose this $500..... because i believe that's the only way i can learn how to trade and how to walk away with profit and not get greedy.....

Last week was disasterious when i lost $160+ from the $500......

But this week i am better then last week because i've learn more then last week and i want to disipline myself.

I will only trade 2 times per day & if any of those time i was to achive my 15pips, i will stop trading. If i was to lose both of those trades, i will stop also.

I'm going to do this for the next 2 months......

Guys..... please excuse me but i'm new and i like to hang around and get experience......


Feedbacks & suggestions please.......

If your target is only 15 pips, I'm guessing your risk/reward is wrong. Personally, I don't think you should ever target a specific amount of pips everyday, because its unrealistic and limiting. The market giveth what it will. Also, if you have less than $500, then you'd better be a very good trader or trading micro lots (1K). An experienced trader can trade with $500 but if you lost your lost account in 3 days, do be quite careful and please reconsider your risk-reward on each trade. And good luck!

Rizal,

Appreciate your willingness to learn this market. Not sure if I can drop any technical tips cuz I beleive every man has what suits him--but I have a few words to say when you say you lost 160 bucks in one day. or a 1000 in 3 days.

I would never risk more than 1 % on any trade. So on a 500 account I would not risk more than 5 dollars.

So if you are only trading twice a day, say that when you lose 5 bucks or make 5 bucks you would quit. Leanr the probabilities in this game, if I was trading full time and made 20 trades then I only need to win 11 trades out of 20 if my RR is 1:1 . Is 11 trades out of a 20 really that hard?

So I giess yeah you wanna learn with the 500 but make sure you dont riks 1 % or more during this learning process.

Hey dude, how ya been?

I did some reaseacrh on this volume thing (I got a demo from IBFX) that is intra bank volume (per their claims) and I put the A/D indi on it. I see some interesting relationships on the M5 and M15 TF.

May be when I am convinced I am not making an ass of myself and talkinf all gibbersih I will post some stuff. Though looks good on back testing.
