I always find it ammusing when people take the time to go on about how trading is a gamble and impossble yet here they are, on a Forex forum. Are you too good for your home? Go and love somebody

Its so counter productive and just negative crap thats all over this forum and exists in people who unfortunetly for them will never succeed at anything

Plus their points are only valid IF they know everything there is to know which they OBVIOUSLY don't... Its really unreal. They lose at trading so suddenly their an expert on the matter?

1) Who asked...
I TRIPLE LIKE YOUR POST.

if trading is gambling , then they should have fun at some place with some chicks and whiskey and gamble , they wouldnt at least have some of the trading stress.

and here is a Chinese proverb " People who say it cant be done , shouldnt disturb people doing it ."

but CindyXXXX , what can u do about it , its a mainstream attitude , u can watch it everywhere

Easy - dont get involved. Surround yourself with negative people and they have a way of turning you ...

block it out, brush it off, do your thing, let them do theirs

Trading shouldn't be a gamble, if it's a gamble your doing it wrong basically, yes most people are gambling, gambling the market will turn here, gambling a S/R point will hold, they should be trading, hey prices are going up go Long exit with a profit, easy!!

Don't make it so hard!!

Because we are bored, waiting for the next setup and it's either read this and keep the brain slightly on it's topic or make random useless money losing trades.


Yet again, don't make it so hard, thats what the little blue pills are for

i dont believe that for a second forex isn'at all like gambling there are systems that do work at the right time in the market, people make mistakes because they get impatient i know because i've done it myself but i didn't quit because i'm learning from my mistakes and i'm making steady profit with the indicators, boilerbands, timesframes that i'm using.

So you suggest people should gamble the trend continuation (also a 50% bet) instead?

Gamble the momentum continuation is my method, faster and more real than trend and there are times ( yes it's hard to see the times ) where its a 90% bet and any bet where the odds are in your favour isn't a gamble IMHO.

And it's not a gamble, as you have the option to close out with a small loss and hold for a big win, thats where your strength is, letting winners run and killing losers quickly.

Ofcourse just setting a 200sl and a 200tp and walking away is a gamble.
