Disliked{quote}Show me ANY profitable trader that is willing to show verifiable proof on an internet forum. And just what constitutes verifiable proof anyway?Ignored
DislikedIf any truly successful traders here will show verifiable proof through a myfxbook account or though Trade Explorer, then not only does it give themselves credibility but it ALSO gives motivation to other traders by giving proof that someone CAN become successful in trading. And this can be the difference for many here to help them eventually become successful in trading. So I will say to any successful traders here: for what reason do you not want to help your fellow traders by showing them it IS possible to succeed in forex trading? Why do you...Ignored
Try to put yourself in the place of the professional trader, while you're thinking about those questions.
I understand your point about motivation. If you want motivation that it's possible to make BIG money at FX, check out this link, as one possible example. Now, did reading that really inspire anybody? Do you think it's changed the minds of any of the naysayers here? I suspect not. And it will probably only make some of them envious, to the point that they'll say that the bar tab was photoshopped, the photo faked, and the news item a hoax ........ and perhaps I'll even get flamed for daring to post it. LOL

Disliked{quote} Yaz, Agree 200% with you. Why should a profitable trader share personal financial information, just to appease the curiosity of voyeurs and skeptics? How does it benefit him to do so? Some naysayers seem to think that those who are profitable somehow owe them a handout: evidence of profitability, free systems, free education, free MT4 programming. There are philanthropists (Seneca_pilot is an example) who give of their time to provide free education, and yet the parasites and freeloaders insist that he has no right to post this unless he...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Yazzie, there are MANY traders that show verifiable proof by posting their trading accounts at myfxbook. And no, I'm not talking about posting a screenshot here as "proof" of one's myfxbook trading account. Everyone knows screenshots can be photo-shopped. I'm talking about an ongoing account that others can actually view. Also, I see FF has something called "Trade Explorer" of which shows one's trade results. Now, I admit I don't know a lot about it because I haven't been dialed into FF much since I've joined the forum. However, I'm assuming...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Perhaps I've developed some kind of addiction, who knows. I had no idea that I'd racked up so many posts here. Must be time for me to find another hangout. LOLIgnored
DislikedOne doubt, in the thread James recommends trading on weekly, daily and then on H4. Now, if we open a trade on daily or weekly and let it run, it will burn a lot in interest, am I right? Many brokers charge interest every 24 hours, am I right? Or if we leave the trade open many days. If we trade on daily graphs, we can let one trade open for many many days. Is there any solution to this? Maybe only trade on demo on daily and weekly, and THEN trade live on H4 ?Ignored
DislikedWhy do you think you lost many trades, if you are following every single step in the J16 thread ?Ignored
DislikedNice one, one question how many pips you use on STOP LOSS and take profit? Do you trade basing in James16 patterns right? And you always trade on daily charts? Do you leave your trades open for how many days? Doesn't the swing between hundreds of pips of fluctuation affect you and hit your STOP LOSS? Basically these are some of the problems I have as a new trader. Keep it up!Ignored
DislikedMan, I was following an expert in forex trade yesterday, and see what happened: http://www.dailyfx.com/forex/technic...on_Bounce.html (sorry not sure if we can post links to other forums, if we can't, please remove it) The price WENT EXACTLY the other way and hit STOP LOSS!! DAMN!!!! Now I ask myself, if experts have these problems, what is left to us Rookies?Ignored
DislikedTwo accounts so far, one with 2000 USD and the other with 1000 USD. Now I have one with 1500 left, started with 5K and hit a bottom of 200 bucks, now going up. This is the last account I will use, if it doesn't work, I will probably quit. Been trying to make this work for almost 3 years and still can't. It's the most difficult business I have been involved in. Very very very hard.Ignored
Disliked{quote} As I've said many times, I'm a programmer, not a professional forex trader.
