I just stumbled on this site again after about 5 years....way too many super heroes that doubled their account last month stuff......How many are still on here trading?
How many on here have been traders for at least 5 years?

Well I have been trading for 12 years, taught for a few and have a few full time traders to my credit....I am profitable, have been and will continue to be...I left here because as I think most profitable guys will attest, we have no need to be berated or need to be a part of pissing matches.....one other thing for the guys that beat their chest, the only ones you fool are newbies, a REAL trader can spot a fake a mile away......I will be happy to come on and watch who is making good calls off good info, hopefully enjoy a few conversations and maybe...

Maybe your trading skill is not effective enough. Maybe you need to go back to demo and work on your trading skill. Just my opinion.
There is only one way I can think of to "nearly double an account in a few days." That is to over leverage your trades. When it works, it works well and you feel great. When it doesn't work, you blow out your account. I don't know if that is what you are doing, but I invite you to post your trades on the forum...trades that are seen from the hard right edge (or the bleeding edge, as I like to call it). It is easy to say, "I've doubled my account", it is quite another to post the trades from beginning to end and show consistent results for all to see...That's what I'm trying to do, and here I've only managed a meager 10% (3200+ pips) since the first of this year.
I eagerly await your thread and will be among the first to sign up, if you do decide to post. I would also appreciate any comments on how you think I might improve the effectiveness of my skill...please feel free to post here so I and all may benefit from your vast experience.
{quote} Congratulations! You are truly a trading god. {quote} That fact would seem obvious. However, I have done something that at this point you have not...I've survived 12 years with an "ineffective" trading skill. But I am always willing to consider new ideas or CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. My most recent trades are posted here on this site, search my name and you will find them. I invite your input. There is only one way I can think of to nearly double an account in a few days. That is to over leverage your trades. When it works, it works well and...
Very tactful response. Nothing wrong with 10% we're only six weeks in! I bet there are a greater majority out there that would be able to say that...truthfully. Mind you, if you're a gun and can double your account in a few days.....what are you even doing here. Get on a boat somewhere.

Don't despair, there are some real ones. I've been trading since before Bill Gates made Windows mainstream. Not my place to say how good or bad I am or you are. Do I have a clue? I have been trading full time all these years and living a comfortable happy life so you be the judge. Nobody needs to see my account, my name isn't really cryptic so some know who I am and they know the reality.You are right, there are a lot of experts and heroes. I come on the site sometimes just to see what other people are thinking. Some guys/girls are here with the...

I am looking into stock market trading for about 6 years and into forex/futures for roughly 5 I think. (with a few breaks in between)
It's about staying in the game once the market does not happen to be in your favor. I am really really happy if I reach those percentages you mention in a year without any severe draw down but consistency is the key right. All this TA has yet to give me good consistent results I am more about the longer fundamental view.
I also remembered that time when I did really great at the beginning and dreamed about being a billionaire within a year or two but it just is not that way.
I can also change my trade settings and if I over optimize everything I get like 12 fold return during the same time but just imagine that I am willing to make considerably less instead of going broke at one time.
