Hmmm. Not so sure about the former. I think the bullshit filter kicks in alot sooner than learning how to trade and there's alot to learn even if from a handful of members on FF.

Whenever you think that you have a new strategy, backtest it on different time frame and currencies. Play with the indis and backtest, you'll see that almost fails, but you'll learn why they dont work and that is where the winning game starts.

{quote} And you are going to take that answer as the work required to be succesful? Then retailers wonder why they fail.

Hi, is there a chance that you post a chart at least once, (live or closed trade chart) to get a better idea of your trading phi.

The 90+ % retail traders fail is hog wash. It's closer to 30/70

Unless you can prove otherwise, its simply not true. Just a Legend that gets regurgitated over and over and over. Now maybe in the constraints of "90% of traders fail after 10 years" then you may have something, but without a forex specific study to back it- it's a myth. You can argue like others have in the thread I posted- but without proof or a study showing otherwise, it's just a theory.

Granted, outliers like the SNB peg, Wars, QE, etc can shift the Quarterly skew, but not to 95%.

If you put the work in, you can be successful at trading. There are hundreds of thousands of people that make a living trading in general- fx is just a portion of the whole. People assume that a 500+ millionaire or a billionaire are the successful traders, where as they are the upper outliers, not the median to the whole.

I will try to Sell at 1.1457 and 1.1535 upon rejection, if price passes this last one I am leaving it until better op comes.
Fibs not completed price should go higher.

Hey all, I think it's key to remember the overall trend is down. This is a retracement, a healthy one at that, and needed to keep the trend intact (PA can't go in a straight line forever). I'm watching the 4-hour timeframe for spots to get short and staying patient. Let's not lose site of the forest through the trees.

I think there is a study published by citi and posted in Infi's thread.
