Disliked{quote} Hey mate, Well in my opinion (and from past experience) when a struggling trader asks for proof of results, that person is not really asking for a successful trader to PROVE his results but to provide confidence and reassurance that trading successfully can be done. It’s that reassurance that gives a struggling trader the motivation to continue practising and getting better. The actual results are irrelevant it’s what the results provide psychologically. Delta just wants some reassurance that FX trading CAN be done. Telling him to 'F***...Ignored
I think traders aren't making enough backtesting. I was entering at the market close until I backtested other entries and found that I have better results with stop orders when trading pin bars. Backtesting can give you a clue if you're winning or not.
It's not easy at all to be profitable. Even if someone else is winning this doesn't guarantee that simple playing his strategy will make you win since there are a lot of ways to make trade management. I can't win with the touch trading strategy I've found from another thread but I wouldn't say the trader who teaches it is not a winning trader since he can skip many trades that I don't skip, take many trades that I don't take or have a different trade management (he also is aware of news while I don't watch news). It's just me who can't win with the strategy. This doesn't mean others can't win with it.
