I'm a long time lurker - but something just doesn't stack up. I can't count how many times I've seen boasts of 90% win rate - 10 wins in a row etc. I know, I know - it depends on the size of the wins v size of losses. But the braggadocios are implying they are super traders. If they could make a few percent a week, compounded on a regular basis they'd soon own the universe. How come none of these people is wealthier than Bill Gates.
As for those that are on a winning run - read 'Fooled by Randomness' by Taleb. He's seen more superstars crash and burn than most. If a million people are trading forex worldwide, you are bound to get a few superstars for a period - then they crash and burn.
If you really are a superstar - my apologies.
As for myself - I win some and I lose some - at the moment it's more of the latter. But with micro lots it's a fairly cheap form of entertainment. Please don't tell me to use a demo - it's no good for emotional training.
