Was wondering if anyone knew of a nice free/cheap site that offered a nice little forex Analysis type program. Like dailyfx has there forex Analysis program and it shows you the trend and what not. thanks (I'm asking because I lost everything within 24 hours haha... I lost all the money I deposited to start forex so before I try at it again I wanna be prepared.)

Build your own market intuition. Don't rely on what some website tells you.

That's my 2 cents.

Well I was trading demo GREAT but I just started live yesterday using what I looked for previously and I couldn't profit if my life depended on it. also too with nice trends and indicators i think it would help with my desecions wouldn't be my sole factor.

Ignore all that hype for various systems. Remember--for now--this one fundamental rule: The exit is more important than the entry.

With that in mind, I want you to do the following on a demo account:

1) Toss a coin: Heads long, Tails short
2) Manage the trade as you see fit. If you think the trade is bad, exit.
3) When you exit a trade, go back to step 1.

If you can double your account in less than 50 flips, I consider you a good enough trader to go live. I personally average between 20 and 30 flips, and I do it once a week, on the weekends, trading simulated data.


Try it. It helps, LOADS.

No need to complicate things.

If you don't know where the trend is, take Jacko's advice: Show it to a 5 year old.

You can try this - BUT - learn from how they do it - NOT - take their analysis and just accept it !!!!!

You are approching this whole forex thing wrong.
It seems to me like you just read a "How to be a brain surgeon in less than 20 Minutes" Book. Now your first patient is dead after after hitting him on the head with a hammer you ask yourself. What the hell did I do wrong? That sh*t is to supposed to be simple! Man I read that book! It says do this and that and you will make money.

very late reply to the post...but I saw Ronald R strategy...actually his strategy is correct mathematically/statistically and can be proved statistically, for any trading, game where you have a certain probability to win vs loss. The problem, is people and psychology... where we cant apply consistent rules!

Agree. A temporary negative mental state can ruin even the best strategies.

However I like Ronalds test idea, I will try it for fun... and to learn more.

It can played by a simple coin toss game...u have 2 out comes win or loss (like trading)...with a 50/50 chance in every coin toss...u will play a fixed number of games, with proper money management / lot strategy, u can always land with a certain minimum profit (that can be calculated) so that is the basic....but in trading, there are few more factors like you may not have .5/.5 chance (mostly u dont know your chance, mostly u guess , even if u think u know), hence the MM & lots strategy more complex, there are sometimes certain external influence and your own ability to handle all this i.e psychology

Trading View is a very good website for analysis by the traders.
Apart from that 2ndskiesforex is another website that I watch everyday.

How about sites that tells you what the market cares and hence trend formation based on these facts. U can print out a chart n see if it's going up or down or sideways. But how would you know if the trend is going to continue or collapse?? I use forexlive.com and orderflowtrading.com for news feeds/analysis, though they won't tell me the trends, ops. we trade the future, not the past, no point in investing your time in wat already happened. just my two cents. =p
