Actually thats no true.. some people prove theirself better than other.. well most of them stop posting eventually. Bull Bear, Global Macro, Grashid, and many more.. Sorry if i cant put every good traders name.. But, yes, you cannot learn how to trade in here. The best way or method to learn how to trade is experience.. 7 years should make u a great trader. if not, I questioned your selfskill..
my trading skill is not bad at all...
doing great..
not there richest man here..
but enough for me and my family..
that mean i cant learn from other trader?
trading is continues learning process..
before i dont use MA..thank to mr.magix i understand how MA works..
everday we found something new...

Well, it does seem a bit more logical to me. We got some dollar news coming out in a bit, should be no surprise though anticipating bad numbers as the subsidy ran out.
expecting price to find support there and rise.Good luck bro.

hmmm.. no, I think I had a good supporting cast, the only thing not in my favor was the lower 1Hr Trendline and perhaps confirmation on the doji, but based on where the doji happened I felt pretty good about it.

BB think he was giving it the "Ivor Big 'Un"!

In all seriousness though good luck to the guy, if it works out that's what we should all be wanting to see for each other. I had the same sort of call with cloggie last week. Why is it that you both think your style is trading and his is gambling. Surely you are only entering at a point you think you are going to make money. We have already seen that different brokers report different prices on their 4 hourly charts so none of us have a perfect methodology.
Nothing wrong with being a Swing Trader. I have been forced to swing trade as I have no access to my MT4 platform during the day and I can only control my trades in the mornings and evenings. Yesterday, I posted my trade here -
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...08#post3884108

My target is ~1.5 and then let's see what happens when we get there! My trailing stop is massive, but I have already locked in profit and this has been my only trade since last week. I missed the Euro this morning, as I had a short order at 1.3065 with a SL at 1.3100, but otherwise that is it for my trading these last 10 days. You have to be much more selective when swing trading!

His trading style is gambling because there is zero Money Management involved. He starts an account with $100 and risks 15% of the account on his first position. Money Management rules state 1%, max and I mean MAXIMUM 2% of your account on any position. Anyone that is not adhering to any sort of Money Management rules in my eyes is gambling.

You can easily still make 6% per day as Dr D. says, by risking 2% on a position and ensuring the R/R ratio is 3:1 on the trade.

I have already locked in 3:1 and looking at 10:1 if I reach my target. Swing trading is a very different style of trading and requires serious amounts of patience. You also must be VERY selective when entering the market and one will miss many opportunities, like I did with the Euro this morning, but that is what swing trading is all about.

So no, I am not against the style of reversal or swing trading. I am against his non-existent money management skills. This is how 95% of people lose money! Not because they know when to go long or short!

Doji tops and bottoms are distinctly different, you can sell a Doji at the top, but the bottom always requires confirmation first. The reversal signal at the bottom is the bar afterwards, not the Doji itself.

Funny you mention that... I have noticed that with most all candlestick formations. The tops are easier and require less confirmation than the bottoms. Funny, I wonder why that is?

wow.. no help from the news, which is not surprising...

When you joined in Jan 2010, you said that you were a newbie and now you state you have been trading 7 years. Why don't you go through your own history of posts. What is it going to be? Are you a newbie to trading like you have stated in previous posts that I pulled out, or are you an experienced trader.

It is your LACK OF MONEY MANAGEMENT SKILLS! You have proved FOOK ALL. I can make $1000 from a $100 by backing a horse that is 10/1 and if it comes in, I have done the same thing.

You CAN make money from a Mini Account or a Standard Account, it does not matter what account you use so long you use proper Money Managment. But giving people the hope that you can 10x your account in one day proves nothing apart from that it is a complete gamble.

You just don't get it, do you! I pity any newbies who try to do the same that you just done to try and multiply their account by a factor of 10 in 1 day!

From your lack of money management skills, you are definitely a newbie!

I have nothing more to say to you. Goodbye!
