I was intrigued until he posted a chart, wow im tripping out just looking at that chart, indicator frenzy. Theres only one route for ppl with charts like that, and im not going to say it out loud as all the profitable traders will know the answer. That is all

i used to have a chart that looked like this 14 yr olds, and i lost about 90% of the time.

Then i discovered James 16, and sam seiden and price action trading, i mixed all 3 together, cleared my charts of all indicators, so all i had was PRICE and PRICE ONLY now i win 80% of the time.

By the time someones mac d or moving averages has crossed for an entry or whatever you do, im already in way before the indy fans at the turn using supply and demand. That is all again

its one thing trading breaks through support and resistence but its another when you know its going to break before hand

You're stepping over the line. I have my goals in life. You don't set them for me. I am only homeschooled for this year of my life. I have something with cloggie, he's like a mentor to me, almost like a second father. Forex does not owe me anything in life. Forex is a business. People do business. Im not trying to go too quick. Im taking this a step at a time. Don't ever tell me to think i talk smart for no reason. Im sorry if you're not in a top 100 university, but that is your fault not mine. Don't compare yourself to me. I have my goals, i know...
.....don't mess with the kid.well written young man

I honestly don't know what on earth is wrong with you mate. I know i am young, and its usually uncommon for young people to advice senior people. Human being to human being, you need to change your attitude. You're an adult, you'll figure out what you'll need to change. After this post, we forget about this, in here we are traders. Keep it that way.

trendlines are fine, its not an indicator, i use trendlines all the time. Pivot points i also used to use alot of the time with JAMES16 techniques and proved to be good enough.

Im not being nasty, im just talking about another youngish person at 26 years old in this business, been through the mistakes, been down the indy path, been down the EA path, and down the buy at the green dot and sell at the red dot path. Luckily i didnt lose too much doing all this, it has cost me probably $1000 in total learning all these mistakes, my account was at $104 beginning of this year.

So i thrown everything away started again, with james 16, then later introduced supply/demand and price action, and just recently to put the icing on the cake i discovered a user on here called ROCKY who really has finessed how i look at the markets. now my account sits at $1105

not bad for a live account

How's this for a chart?

I really hope i can determine price action, and even more pinpoint entry exit strategies this way. Thanks for the tips about the chart.

Hey man, thanks for the story. EA's are definitely for the dumb. If i was that dumb, i wouldn't care to learn FX, ill just go and buy megadroid or fap turbo for heaven's sake. How can people learn by doing this? Haha, green buy, red sell? I don't do that. Those indies determine possible support and resistance levels. But judging by the facts shown, i deleted most of them, and see my progress through.

Well done Mr. Ken! I opened a trade based on resistance and support style on EUR/AUD, and looked at action on EU, and using corellation as a base, and i am happy now. 40 pips profit.

good job. Ive never looked into correlation, i know some people like it, but something ive not really studied, as each chart will have its base rules and others will follow creating same points all over.

Heres a thread i highly suggest going through, this really opened my eyes, all credits to ROCKY for this one.

I'm glad to see more people realising that too many indicators actually disturb trading. Keep up the good work guys and keep this thread drama free.

Hey,

I am 16 at the moment (had my birthday on the 13th of this month) and have been trading live since May this year and demo for a year before that so I also started at 14 and I definitely feel that this is an advantage to us.

I (and probably you) want to work as a trader when I'm older and I am of the opinion that Experience is worth more than good grades, now don't get me wrong education is very important, but say I go for a prop trading job at Goldman when I'm 21 (with 7 years trading experience and a mediocre economics degree). Whereas my close friend goes to London school of economics and attains a really high and respectably degree and also applies for the same job. I believe that without a doubt (as long as I can prove I have a good depth of market knowledge) that I will get the job as a trader.

Now in my personal situation, I have good contacts through my dad at many major banks and trading firms in london and currently attend one of the best independent schools in the south of England and feel I can along with having 7 years of experience get a good, firm degree. Because of this I feel starting at a young age can almost guarantee me a job when I'm older (am emphasizing almost).

Anyway It's nice to know there are others out there who started a micro account with chump change and since may I've turned $301.08 to ~$2200.

Jeremy.

Hi everyone, i am having a hard time understanding supply and demand. I heard on websites i searched and rocky's thread, that it is very different from support and resistance. What i grasped is that when there is more demand of a currency, price movves up. When there is less, it goes against. I still can't grasp how this is connected to Forex, and can be used to our trading skills, and make us even more proficient as traders.

All help is appreciated in advance,

Thanks

when price stops for a while on any chart, then you know its even between bears and bulls, then all of a sudden the price surges away like a train, now you know at this level that theres an imbalance and lots of orders sitting at that level.

Take my eurgbp above, the zone i marked shown price go up 2 green candles stop a little bit then a huge surge down like a freight train, only 2 things in this world can do that banks and institutions, so know i knew at this level there are still going to be alot of SELL orders because it was such a violent move down.

match this with some trendlines and a fib levels which everyday retail traders use, then u got a sure thing, not only bank orders also alot of retail traders will be trending off the trendline and fib retracement.
