Quoting Big PippenDislikedHe MADE and LOST the billion. Big Deal! To him, it's nothing. I'm sure he learned from it and is making and keeping billions by now.Ignored
Quoting thehunDislikedI'm with you on that dude. Now I am a "live" trader, and yes, I will have to reload the account again, but I have learned from previous mistakes and I will get to the point of "insane" profitability with a lot of hard work. Here is the thing with demo trading....while you learn systems and indicators and all that good stuff, you are missing THE BIGGEST PIECE OF THE ENTIRE TRADING PUZZLE, and that is the mental aspect of making and losing money.Ignored
Quoting thehunDislikedGood point. Finding the right method will take time, and if you are not finding success with it, then it is probably a good idea to have some level of success with your method before you plunk down some real cashola. My point was that once you have found that system, then the REAL learning begins.

Quoting serjDislikedAmazing that Warren Buffet can loose in the currency market too. Just goes to show us all, no matter who you are or how much experience we have, we can all loose in this gameIgnored
Quoting great*daneDislikedMy greatest success is that I have been demo trading since March and I resisted temptations to go live. This saved me a lot of money.
I didn't lose a single $ in forex, other than spending money on a few books and james16 private forum membership. Say what you will, I'm actually very proud of this.
Happy trading,

Quoting Big PippenDislikedThe title of this thread is success stories. Where are they at? This thread is turning into just discussion again. I'm sure Mike W. will agree with me on this. Is there anyone here that actually doubles their account every month, or is 80%+ accurate? I developed a system that is 80% accurate that I use on my live account. It works for my style of trading but I would love to hear any comments about it from someone that is actually trading a live account and is successful. My system uses pivot points, WMA, and a MACD equation. I will share it at a later time when I have more time.Ignored
Quoting keithfDislikedThis is my first post on this forum, so I here it goes. I've been learning forex for about 8 months, and I've been trading live for about the last three months now, mainly with small amounts (mini-lots, or less sometimes).
What I have found is that trading with real money helps me to learn a LOT FASTER! One of my mentors in this business is constantly telling me that "if losses it don't sting a little bit, you don't learn anything." Its not that you don't learn by studying while demo trading, because I did, but I have learned more this past 3 months trading with real money, than the first five months when I was demo trading.
Sometimes I learn by "seeing the light," but it seems with forex, most of the time I have to "feel the heat." That's my two cents....
