any real contest would take into account drawdown and floating PL.

they aren't using stops and are leveraged like fannie and fredie.

Those "traders" gambled as they opened full 10 lots and got lucky enough to win.

Im pretty self disciplined in the ways of MM so I cannot take those contests seriously enough.

so... if banks win all the time who are they taking money from?

retail traders? NO

we are insignificant in this arena.

the entire lot of us make up about 12% of the total volume.

Its a 0 sum game so why are you trying to say that all the profesionals are winners. How is this possible ?

Alot of people just jumped out the woodworks with some rediculous boasts in the last hour.
I'am sorry I dont understand how your comment relates to my post.
making green pips large and red pips small this is my goal.

Of course pros lose, losing is part of the business, but they lose small that's the difference, because they predefine risk and adhere to money management rules.
I personally know of a money manager later last year blew one of his hole accounts which was 12 million dollars.

Here is another example:

Long-Term Capital Management L.P. (LTCM) was a hedge fund management firm based in Greenwich, Connecticut that utilized absolute-return trading strategies (such as fixed-income arbitrage, statistical arbitrage, and pairs trading) combined with high leverage. The firm's master hedge fund, Long-Term Capital Portfolio L.P., failed spectacularly in the late 1990s, leading to a massive bailout by other major financial institutions,[1] which was supervised by the Federal Reserve.
LTCM was founded in 1994 by John Meriwether, the former vice-chairman and head of bond trading at Salomon Brothers. Board of directors members included Myron Scholes and Robert C. Merton, who shared the 1997 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[2] Initially enormously successful with annualized returns of over 40% (after fees) in its first years, in 1998 it lost $4.6 billion in less than four months following the Russian financial crisis and became a prominent example of the risk potential in the hedge fund industry. The fund was closed in early 2000.

I like your style.. If I work for Bernanke team, I'd definitely

hired you as a promoter of the Fed course

Point is not 1260 or 1300 or whatever.. Gold going much higher,

in the next 2 years at least, but then, I don't see why trend should reverse

other than complete Dollar collapse and exchange for different currency such as "Amero" or whatever.

So why would anyone sell GOLD knowing that it more likely will push

new highs in coming month, other than flip flap daily traders getting

couple of pips on counter trade here and there... SELL DOLLAR, BUY GOLD.. Copy that

make it red in 128 size Verdana Font and stick to your bedroom door.

Or better loan your house out and buy gold and let FEDs pay for your

prosperity, (let those idiots inflate their own money!!!) that's was my initial plan in 2005..

Long term is unclear yes. 1.33 level needs to hold for a retest of previous highs.

There is no clear trending on higher TFs so I dont trade it now.
yes, The problem i trade on higher TF and weekly and daily still Up to me but u see huge bearish pressure last few days so no long entry
4h Hanging between 1.40 and 1.3570 break 1.3570 on 4h mean 1.3360 which is my TL on daily and give more chance to reverse down!
Is that what big players going to...


No perfect entry I can c so far
Maybe Maybe small position Long @1.36 sl so tight under today low 1.3570

Hi,

Well your first line is "But I see this 95% figure referring to traders,But I been in business around 25 years and that figure certainly does not only apply to traders."

Well as zero sum game traders are doing battle against each other, someone wins and someone has to loose.

I am trying to say this game is just not about trendlines and trends. It is so far ... but speaking from statistician point of few (I tried to explain this earlier) no matter how good your system is back tested, your next 20 trades may no matter how well executed to plan they were, they may all turn out to be loosers. Its not that you did anytthing wrong , you followed everything that you done in the past but your next 20 trades can still turn out to be loosers.

I also think some other comments shown how ppl get carried away like Skyzer, who said that he never had a looser before ... despite spending all last week yelling about dollar at 1.4000 by end of Monday.

Played it twice already, days like this is just a matter of finding the right levels and keep playing of them.

It is becoming boring, 85 pips out of 3 identical setups.

Skyzer, who said that he never had a looser before ... despite spending all last week yelling about dollar at 1.4000 by end of Monday.
I said I didn't lose PRINCIPAL balance invested overall, this doesn't mean

I don't have loses.. But anyways I wasn't aware of Ireland BS, when I

made that target.. It's a wrong timing.. I have not a single doubt that

Dullar going to drop back like a rock.. How many days it will stay afloat

and who's paying to promote Ireland "default" campaign, I think I have

a clue.. By the way, I don't have position in EU right now.. Not enough

momentum for me. Possibility to getting lower is there, but, for the same

time possibility for the Dollar to Drop dead even higher... So, I'll stick

to my game plan.. "Trade what you see" or "Trend is your fiend"

Those 2 are most stupid statements I ever read, cause according to this

95% of the Forex traders are either blind or have no clue what so ever what

trend means, or both....
