I think if we took 100, 5 year olds, and taught them which buttons to press, i would bet good money that they would do better then 100 well educated intelligent adults.

Okay so maybe that statement is a bit drastic, but open your chart, look at where price is on the left hand side of your screen, and then look at where price is at the right of your screen, is price moving up or is it moving down? place your trade in that direction. try it.

lol, quite likely, kids keep things simple, adults always needs reasons, confirmation, they like to complicate everything.

Probably some deep Freudian psychology here...

i use a stoploss to get me out but even then deciding where to put it leads to a puzzling emotions and mind?

ive done trading for a bit in loads of other things but made my home here.

i am a fan of price action over indicators any day now

plus you guys know your stuff to and if your saying it too im not arguing

Thanks again for the advice and your thoughts

as for the hand of god

The only thing is a time frame and the value of movement considered either up or down. Daily movements and thick movements have not the same weight for judging about the market trends.

Side by side keep searching for an alternate career as well. After getting bust in Forex, you will need an alternate career to fall back on.

Like all things in life. This is easier said than done.

You need to take into account the whip-saws and trading ranges. If a market is ranging, your strategy is designed to trending environments. You will be caught out - "naked punting is for idiots" as someone famously once said.

Whether you are a retail trader, institutional trader or prop trader. It all comes down to this: "There is only one bottom line on Wall Street and that is how much money you will make."
"The trend is your friend, until the end."

No Its not and never will be. Oh yea let me clear my mind ,then look at a chart for 2 seconds if its going up I go long No wonder 95% in this business go broke.
If any 5 year old can trade then please bring them forward. That's why Citibank has decided to start recruiting from the local preschool.

Oh and another thing, at times It can be insanely stressful. Most people go to work knowing at the end of the day they'll have something to show for it.

Kyle_Vee mentioned that slightly guided 5 years old could do better at Forex than market educated individuals. Why so?

Is there any real science to this?
