I'm new to forex, and always have been wondering if it is possible to know live trades of the forex godlike traders. Also, if i were a broker, and i see this guy turn 1000 bucks to 1M in a few monts, then why not copy his moves???

I hope this isn't a stupid question, or has been discussed earlier. Please also don't convince me that turning 1000 to 1M isn't possible, i know a guy who has made way more, so it is possible.

Thanks in advance!

Think for a minute...do you need to?

I would rather be conspiring against this trader than looking to copy his moves...

but I could be a crappy broker.
I believe . . .

Brokers make much more money taking some here, some there from their customers. They don't need to "follow" a trader. Also, if you know a guy who has been so successful, why doesn't he/she show you what to do? Are they that greedy that they won't share the process with you?

The official record is 10k to 1.1M, so does this person have a site to show this?

Information you seek, how a person could get such a profit, is broken up into different types of information packets, to make a profit on them as well.

People with a site who make a similar claim, Zanger, Williams and Dennis (article), sell signals. Their initial runs were probably a bit lucky, and based on the individual's personal skills, rather than something easily taught. One or two of the records they show are really good, the rest stable; none of them show what you're saying.

It's on the trader to make entry and exit on signals, which one or two help train for, only I don't think live.

Also, these peoples' indicators/patterns are mostly publicly known, and are one among hundreds more just as good.

Months of live trading videos from a competent trader would seem a more viable solution, to learn the trader's attitudes and decision approaches. If you look on ff (or google), there are several who already offer this, some free.

This guy has 15 years of trading experience, started from scratch and now has his own private jet, so that record is BS. He never goes to forums like these, because it leads you to the wrong path, he does check forex youtube videos tho XD.
He doesn't use a system and only takes a few trades in a week and let them run and enjoys the good life. He has very tight stop losses and only trades one currency. He told me that it is impossible to trade different currencies, because they are all different. He adviced me to read Larry Williams and use very good money managment, trading is easy in his eyes... That's why i tried to give it a shot.
Just wondering, if someone would work at a broker (just an employee for example), and I would have the information to know the moves this guy makes, why not copy them...

You're talking the end part of the journey, grasshopper. Everybody remember how a frog turn to a prince overnight, but no one remember how long he was a frog prior to that fateful night.

Do you think he felt that way during the first 5 years?

Actually, he never blew an account, so yes. Stop being all negative, i've read your other posts, and i can see that you are a frustrated person.

I don't get it. You're defending this person who won't speak for himself.
This is after you suggest doing a possibly illegal act (unless you have permission to copy the person's trades) : May want to consult someone, I don't know.
Is this thread about you being a trader, or ...

Thanks, didn't know copying someones trades was illegal. Now i understand that it isn't possible to know trades placed by a person. Don't want to defend this person, just tired of reading that forex doesn't create millionaires .

The world and life itself always consist positive and negative. Nothing is all positive.

And if you think I'm a frustrated person for all those negative you see, let's see how you feel a couple of years down the road.

Just because somebody never blown an account doesn't mean he felt the same all the way. 15 years is a long time for anybody to have a change of mind, even if both are on the same positive side.

And here's a frustrated person unwanted advice: if you try to copy his feeling 15 years down the road, try to copy an already finished house, instead of following him brick by brick.

In case you still don't know, feeling and beliefs are two different things.

It is always easy whenever you have 15 years of experience and multimillion dollar/eur or whatever account. Getting to that point is not easy. It's like telling 3 years old how to hook up home theater...with right instruction he/she will do it couple of times right, if you point finger at what to do next.



It's not like I don't believe you...there are certain people that have certain gifts!!! And you forex prodigy is most likely one of them.
