I always thought it was curious whenever the general tone of various forex boards is that “the market is difficult right now”, or “even a monkey could make money is this market”. The purpose of this poll is to, hopefully, capture some of that sentiment from Forex Factory traders. It might be helpful to know how other traders are doing (generally speaking) in the current market.
This poll is for the month of September only. If many participate this month, then I plan on doing a separate new poll for each month.
This poll is by no means scientific, and I realize that there are factors that may skew the result. Obviously take it with a grain of salt, but I think that if many participate, then it could serve as a good benchmark. It is not meant to be some kind of contest, since (if I do this right) it will be anonymous anyways. However, please feel free to add any comments that you think might be helpful to those viewing the polls – ie: “The market might be easy/difficult this month because of the holiday season/because we’re in summer trading/we hit a major fib line/the gods are happy/reasons A, B, C”, or other comments.
Please vote according to your level of experience and whether you lost, profited, or broke even for the month of September 2009. For the purpose of this poll, please count only trades that CLOSED by the end of September. Open trades don't count.
Thanks!
