Best Read Threads On FF

Hello All,

I have been a recent user of FF (months) and to be honest I never realised there was so much info on here. To my surprise I have read some very interesting comments.

So I thought I would like to hear from my fellow FF's ... which threads they consider read worthy and if they could perhaps copy the links.

Many Thanks

Depends, what time frame do you prefer and have the time to trade?
Plus its not the system itself, its the money management because all systems are profitable.

I prefer short term ... i.e. I am an intra-day trader.

However I am happy to read anything of value, above is purely my own personal preference.

The most recent thread that has intrigued me is the one about purely watching price action, without the need of indicators etc.

To me this touches a soft spot ... I like the idea of looking at price and making a call on that basis. Alot of the indicators are lagging and miss opportunities.

Most Price Action threads here on FF spin off of James16 Chart Thread,

Long thread, long journey..if you want to trade without indicators and just price action. I'd salute you if you could read it all, lol I know I couldn't.

Yeah it is, but it can be objective at times which isn't that great for some traders like myself. Though I did learn pretty much all my price action from there. If you want to trade just watching a chart with no indicators then that thread is where you should be.

I trade breakouts and long term support and resistance.

Support and Resistance - Silent Service
Breakouts - 7am-9am Big Dog USD Breakout
- 0400-0700 GMT Breakout Strategy
- 4H Box Breakout...suspicious lol

I remember reading The System II (Yes with irony) long time ago. I gave up on it because it wasn't for me.

I would say that focusing on posters as opposed to threads may be more fruitful, this is what I do anyway, those big threads are 99% crap.

For sure!

I would add that IMO if this entire forum got a CTRL+ALT+DELETE and started over from scratch with zero tolerance for spam it would be a good thing.

Talk about looking for a needle in a haystack! LOL.

Check out his recent post from Jacko:

Hi Twee,

I see that you have an unenviable issue facing you here.

Without wishing to want to influence you in any decision you are making, the concern I have for Forex Factory is that you just take care that the forum is not over-populated by novice traders (or even non-traders) who have no idea how to trade.

From my quick observation, the front pages of the Forum is now full of threads by novices, who have no idea how to trade, advising other newbies. This will result in many traders following their mistakes into financial oblivion, with the obvious backlash against the credibility of the Factory

The Forex Factory had a excellent reputation of being supportive and instructional to new traders and this was teamed with a quick and decisive moderation to keep the trolls, spammers and the aggressive troublemakers out. The credibility of the Factory was second to none on the internet.

As I have said, you have an unenviable task ahead of you in progressing the future direction of the Factory. I wish you luck. The future and credibilty of the Factory is in your hands. If I can be of any assistance drop me a line.

Wayne

As long as they are taken in context and to some extent, time frame.

A previous poster mentioned wisdom vouchers. However, I've recently seen a spate of vouched for members who seem to be vouching for novices so they can be vouched for in return.

I recommend reading threads with posts written by Rabid, Merlin, Hanover, Bemac, Craig, Mikkom. There are numerous others but these posters have a better systematic approach than others and whenever they post in a thread, I take note.

Good luck with the reading.

if the voluminous james16 thread is a basis, i think the answer is YES.

Someone else mentioned the price action (current) in the EUR USD pair....

SO, here is my take of the current EUR USD 5 minute LINE chart...

I am also attaching the candle chart, which is what most people (not me ) here use.

My annotated pictures show my take on this move.

I only use price ction in LINE CHARTS. I have made a few posts in this forum, seach for my postings, in there I present my method in a very detailed manner ....

FWIW

IMHO

Some of the insights fti shares in his thread "Technical Analysis Fallacy" are invaluable.

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=57639

I agree with the other posters that some of the larger threads have gems in them, you just have to sift through. For all of us it largely depends on where we are in our own personal Forex adventure.

I would also include smjones in my list of contributors to stalk..... lol.

Good Luck.
