Good morning friends,

hope some of you have made some good pips with my lady USDJPY in Asian session. Not sure at what price BOJ will step in. At the moment I would say, that they are not in the game yet.

Wish you all the best!
And happy ThanksGiving!!

Hi MaMood, watching the Yen also. If you hear anything about BOJ intervention can you let me know?

Thanks

Auch! 2 years!
Time flyes when we are having fun.
Congratulations to all
and blessings and good health to the chief
that led us in the journey.

So much learned and still so much to learn.
For me, the toughest part was to let go of wanting to predict the market.
First year, I lost some but I survived,
2nd year, I made some,
and
3rd year, I would me happy with making some more.
No need to be rich overnight.
Forex trading is a lot harder than what it seems.
Not because of the charts and TA,
but because our personality is always trying to wreck us.

I thank to fti and all that shared our journey.
Let keep the spirit up!

thanks all,
fti said it will take 1.5 to 2 years to churn out a functional dealer and probably another two, for proficiency under his personal supervision. this is the reason why those who started the thread with him 2 years ago are sharing their testimony now.
for every newbie please take your time and reread this thread at 3 to 4 times before going live. I'm taking my time slow and gently to reread and practice the more. thank lusan for your advise.

All the best to the
2nd anniversary of TAF thread!

Thank you very much, fti, for your boldness to start this experiment with us in a public forum. My deepest respect,sir!



Found a reserach paper some days ago, that was about how our brain is handling knowledge. It stated, that all the people that have reached a let's say virtuosic level of their art (playing the piano or viloin, playing chess, doing sports or trading, meditation) need around 10.000 hours af training. And this 10.000 hours do not included the research...
makes sense to me.

Good morning friends,

wanted to get up early, becuase I had the strong feeling, that Asian session would get very interesting. But was one hour late. and so I missed most of the very strong action. But I made a killing in the last 40 minutes.
Happy dancing to you all!!

I was not around at the start but I certainly agree.

All squared at the moment. Trying to decided on the direction for a scout with the EUR/USD. May wait for a pullback and go short.

All the best for those trading over the thanksgiving holidays. Ray

Greetings to all the great minds here on TAF. Happy anniversary. I have been here right from the start but had been quite silent. I have learnt quite alot and still learning. Forex trading is quite profitable but... you must spend time to learn and unlearn and relearn. You must know who you are, your capabilities, strengths etc before you can make meaning out of the markets. Like fti said you cant tame the markets, you can only tame yourself!
Best regards to the boss FTI, to Lusan, Mashewara, Mahmood etc. I have learnt alot from you guys. Wishing you another great year in the business.

Hi V,

sorry to hear about your loss. But one thing that I can say for sure: Losses are part of the game....

Regarding several articles on the news feeds, there has not been a "real money" intervention from the BOJ now. But very big japanese heads have mede several verbal interventions. And the wording was getting strictly stronger from yesterday to today ....

this thread is true people. TA is just a bunch of hogwash.
you will make more $$ at vegas or macau than trading forex based off TA.

i think he is trying to say he was frustrated with TA fallacy and is happy, like most here, he found this thread.
even though i cannot trade the specific way of trading teached here. i also think " this thread is true" and super valueble for the people who study long and hard.

Some people manage with TA, seem use fundamental, some both, what works for one trader does not work for another, just find your own niche, there is no universal answer...

hello sunwave,

i realy agree with what you are saying, your style has to fit with your peronality.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the
enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know
neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

i don't know if you have read this thread??? but the idea is, that we try to use TA in a non rigid way. the fallacy is that you can build a mechanical holy grail with it.

i think most TA invites you to be predictive/not flexible and in short term trading you have to trade what is going on NOW.

kind greets, pax
