Hi I'm new to the forum and I was wondering what trading strategies people were using. I'm new to forex don't know a whole lot about it. I've been in the futures markets. I was wondering if it was similar to futures.

I use Elliott wave a lot in futures trading and have had good profits. I was wondering if any else is using Elliott wave and fibonacci.

Hello,

I am new to the forum as well. I just joined today. I have been using the FF calendar for sometime and started looking at the posts here. Honestly, the reason I hadn't looked earlier is that I have seen forums from other FX sites and there was no useful info. Just a lot of bla bla bla.

After going through a few threads, it is nice to see that the posts have class. While some don't get a long with others it is mostly handled in a positive way.

I look forward to contributing when I can along with some good reading and continued research for the system I am currently building.

Thanks again,
Pip Hunter

Welcome, welcome! You'll find that FF is the best, IMO, forex fourm on the web. Sure, there are others, but I would be afraid to post over there without getting attacked over any and every little thing. You'll find the people here are kind and calm.
Speaking about fibs, I just found out how to put them in my platform, and sure enough, the retracements are usually right on the money. At first, I was a little doubtful, but when you think there is a breakout and it bounces off a fib level, you realize some smart guy/gal somewhere had the right idea. Very interesting, those fibs.

Elliot Wave works in forex as well. If you look at Dave's thread in the the "journal factory" section, you'll see that uses Elliot Wave with great success.

Welome to Forex Factory, and all the other new members too.

Enjoy your flight

Hi I am new here also. Just found the forum several weeks ago, and I really like how nice and friendly everyone is here. I have been trading for about 3 yrs, so I pretty much know what I'm doing, but I am not considering myself a pro yet. I first started with around 300 dollars and was able to take it all the way to 3 dollars without any problem. It was actually pretty easy. But since then I have learned that 1-2or 3 percent per day or averaged out is actually pretty good trading. After learning this I became more proud of my trading and quit letting myself destroy my account, by going for the big one. Which is really how I lost it. I would set a trade in revenge, hoping to retrieve mosyt of it back and would watch how my trade would ruin me, hows four hundred pips loss on single trades without stops. I showed them!!! Finally I had to close the trades eventually. Since than I have been grinding my 3 dollars up to six dollars in the last 2 months. I know that sounds funny, but I am proud of my trading now. Learning the power of doubling and compounding is the holy grail within. I set my sites lower, set my stops and my tps and go for it. Also minimizing charts takes you out of the forest where you can see the trees, as far as the trends go. So any how just wanted to say hi.
