Slim, because my opinion and methods are different to yours, why do you assume I need help ??

As I'm said, everyone is trying to trade all using the standard method's, I even wasted some time on it many years ago, they don't work, if they did everyone would be rich and money would be worthless.

My goal here, is to help others break away from the standard method's and start thinking for themselves.
Turv, in the interests of helping you but more to the point helping others that may make the mistake of thinking you actually know what you are talking about. I HAVE to repeat what I and many others have said to you before.

THE STANDARD METHODS DO WORK!!!!!!!! It is YOU that are failing to make them work, man up accept that fact and stop wasting your time. Life is too short.

I will repeat that again because you just don't get it, YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK.

What part of the phrase, "high probability", do you not get, high probability chart patterns are just that. They allow you to calculate the statistical edge, your job is to work out the good from the bad, many, many people have done it.

Get over yourself and open your eyes.

Good trading to everyone that has the sense to believe simple is best and that it can be done.

Turv, in the interests of helping you
Going by what he posts that seems like an impossible, not to mention thankless, task! Others have tried but he dismisses their help and guidance because to admit to himself that he needs to totally rethink his approach would mean his dream of being a full time trader would be shattered, and after 7 years trying it must be extremely depressing to realise you're actually no nearer today than you were on day one!

Exactly. To allow his opinions and approach to go uncommented on might give a novice reader the impression that his way really is the way to go. I'd like to think anyone considering trading as a full time profession would have enough common sense to spot the obvious errors (ie adding to losers, not adding to profitable positions, bigger losses than gains, etc etc etc) but then unfortunately that doesn't always seem to be the case, this business is open to anyone who wanders in off the street with a few bucks in their pocket!

[quote=the redlion;5619033]

the market is mostly random 60% of the time (empirical study by an ivy league the exact reference escapes me)

that is why we need to treat the risk management as such, the edge comes from observations of what works then to keep net gains you have to build positive mathematical expectation.

and the SL has to take into account position size and volatility.

example on the eur/usd average daily volatility is 0.64% and average variance is .0004% this translates to about 77-150 pip average true range with 122 as average (77 being the 1st quartile and 150 being the 3rd quartile)

so build a model that takes your stop away from volatility and your t/p within volatility with with r:r > 1:1 to create positive expectation.

To add a little to this... if your strategy cannot achieve or sustain a positive expectancy with R:R of 1:1, then it won't with R:R greater than 1:1.

After a quick look at your posts your not profitable so it should read like this :-


I believe / want to believe the standard method is profitable cause that's how I'm trying but as yet failing to trade, but I will defend the standard method because my ego doesn't want me to be wrong and many others who aren't profitable really themselves claim it works,


Bashing the person who is profitable is kinda retarded don't you think, I have simple setups which give me 80% ish win rate and a average R:R of 1.3 ish to 1.

Sadly for most the damage is done you are incapable of changing your opinion, but I've had a couple of newbies learn become proftitable and thank me later, so it's all worth while

A very pertinent observation on this thread which most of you will ignore----when you set yourself to judge other people you introduce the illusion of separateness. When you bag Turvyed you are bagging yourselves as well.

I thought you are still dealing with peanuts? 100 to 400$. Not sure where that shows that you are profitable.
You might have a lucky streak, but calling yourself profitable with such a small account is really not suitable.

If you can bring those 400$ up to maybe 40.000$ then you can call yourself a profitable trader, but until then you are more likely to be a loser in the long-term. (especially with your approach)

From 400 to 40.000 no matter have many decimal places you put in, would be losing and not profitable

Do you realise how long it'll take to turn $400 into $40,000 years unfortunately.

My concept is proven, time to scale up, can I trade it with more $$$'s at risk is the question, answer should be yes, but I'll add money slowly to my account to ease into it.

(especially with your approach) yeah your right I should use your, how thats going for you, ohhhh sorry to hear that!!

100 to 400, back to 100, back to 400, back to 100.....9 times apparently, it doesn't bode well for the future, and scaling up isn't going to help in fact it's likely to make things even worse!

You purpose is not to prove you have the odd winning trade, it is to prove that over all, after losses, spreads bla bla bla bla bla that you can sustain a useable profit.

Even a coin toss is right 50% of the time.



Not 1 -person, other than me, has proved that they can actually do above yet.

Well you seem to be the only one out to prove something, maybe to convince yourself you can become profitable, who knows, who cares.....
