Please read carefully. Now, let us start with this clearly and accepted
theory: "a fiber alone is weak, but when combined into rope is powerful
and strong."

Okay, if you believe in this theory then please reveal the number one
forex secret you are witholding.

Revealing the secret is really beneficial. If we were all to use the
secret, then this means all our money will be combined into the same
entries and exits. Additionally, this means we can move the market
together but not alone.

And this means we will not compete with each other, but make money
against the hungry sharks.

So, what is the real secret that you are witholding???

I don't believe that their is some special secret that is being withheld.

Many here have explained their trading styles in complete detail, and I don't believe that they are withholding secrets.

It may seem that way because no matter how much explanation they give, it is still quite difficult to replicate their results.

The secret is within you. And it is gonna take a lot of due diligence to find it.

Sorry for the very unsexy answer.

p.s. But for just $99 Ummmmm.... no. nevermind.

It really doesnt matter. In these threads and pages there are mountains of tips. Just because I have my edge/s doesnt mean it will make you money. It is something you need to find for yourself, through trading, reading and writing. Through years of trial and error. If you think that knowing all the secrets is going to give you an edge that will lead to profitable trading then you are short changing yourself.

I dont mean to sound disrespectful however coming here and asking for peoples 'secrets' without any contribution of your own is not going to happen.

Sorry

For me, i second the idea that the secret about the market is that there is not secret at all. hardwork triumps like every thing in life.

Support & Resistance. The stronger a price level, the more likely for it not to hold the first time it is hit. Strength is a function of:
1. round number
2. number of times it has bounced off on the Weekly, Daily, 4 Hr and 1 Hr.

That was pretty hardcore right there actually. I had to step back and look at the big picture and it really did look like a black hole with lines being sucked into it.

As for the secret, well I can't personally say I think there's a secret per se...if there was, then it wouldn't be such a challenging thing. Everyone has their own niche that they feel comfortable in, and perhaps that niche is the secret itself.

Find an edge....what ever it is.

Then define what R:R you need to be profitable.....NEVER take a trade that is not AT LEAST that R:R. That is THE success formula....your edge can be as simple as a moving avg and pivot candles trading with the trend.

Come to think of it....simple trend trading always works...

STICK TO DAILY/Weekly charts to gauge where price is most likely to go for the trading week...then get in on the 4hr....MAKE IT EASY.

Whenever I find information that I think might help other retail traders
(like us -- the Smart Money guys are "professional traders"), I post it.

If you click my name, and then go to see my posts, you've see a lot
of them are .pdf reprints of articles from magazines like Currency Trader,
SFO, Futures and so on. They cover a variety of topics but are mostly
related to technical analysis and money management. You can always
browse through my posts and try a few there.

This link goes to a thread for helping newbies. I posted about a dozen pdfs in there.

Yes. Find a professional trader that shows you all his trading. Get to know his system. Watch the system in action. Ask question after question after question after question, until you can do it on your own successfully.
You need to LEARN how to trade Forex. Despite what some say here, it is NOT a God-given gift.
