Then come the profits with experience.
Not always, experience (the wrong one) can be of a burden.

Thats how my trading began. I experienced good performance on bad trades due to the financial crisis and lucky positions.

I was wiped out shortly after increasing by a factor of 50. There was no knowledge learned. Other than the forex market was something I wanted to learn.

I take longer term bigger positions now and am much more consistent. My win ratio is very high although I may go days without trading.

I miss many opportunities that other take advantage of but they are not 100% plays for me so I cannot take them.

You get experience only by commiting mistakes, others are just repeated boring tasks.

Sounds good to me.

Trading is nor easy for various reasons. and who says otherwise has different objective.

I can see on this thread a particular poster saying trading is easy. I think that is BS and he is given wrong informations. He is only driven by his huge ego and to appear differently for what he is.

Trading is about human condition, to trade well we need to know ourselves and that is f@cking hard, unless you drink a bottle of Vodka ......

I agree with you, you do not need to trade everyday. Money is the big swing for me, but I am also not that naive to belevie that different way of trading can bring huge profit for others.

Sorry I agree with you once more.

I also belevie that the right education can be of an advantage because not all of us has the ability to filter what is right for us, yes the mistakes with help us rectify that, but it will take longer time if not guided and many do not have the luxury of time.

Back later.

It's like the calm before the storm. But maybe it's a setup for a bull/bear trap. I'm leaning towards bearish for tomorrow.

yes...no confirm direction until break out...
so best option is wait..or scalp within range before break out

I prefer some more down though...

I don't post much, or really at all for that matter around here lol, but I've started to develop my own trading system by seeing what has been the most consistently profitable for me. I noticed this especially after I started tracking each trade I made. I've tried plenty of different ways to trade by lurking around here for awhile, reading, watching videos, testing my own theories, etc. and think I've got something down for now at least.

I definitely noticed that not trying to force trades or chase trends has benefited me greatly. If I miss the entry point I want with my system, then I missed it and I wait for the next setup to get in. As for this week, I've had to be patient and only made 2 trades. It kills me to make only 2 trades but they were both profitable and on the trade setups I like which is what counts. Yeah, I may have missed some setups I wanted but with school, work, trying to trade, and some sleep somewhere in there it's gonna happen. I've had to realize that I can't stare at the charts 24/7 and to not be in a trade all the time. This is just some of what I've learned so far and there's definitely a long way to go for me in becoming a good trader.
