I do not put down anyone's accomplishment; to double an account in a short period of time is no small feat.
however, long term profitability is extremely rare.

sorry that u are in drawdown at the moment Tim, but I am sure it won't take u long to recover what u have lost and get your explorer back up again.

It is a bit unfair to lash out at your followers and call them scavengers when u have provided no trading wisdom or value whatsoever to the thread. This thread appears to me to be simply an exercise in arrogance and ego.

Just because ppl may be a little jealous of your equity curve doesn't make them a hater, but the fact is there is nothing in this thread that can make anyone a better trader, so what do u expect us to be thanking u for or providing kind words for. People in general do not like other people who have their heads firmly lodged up their own asses, and for good reason.

U stated that we are your enemy/adversary, but that is simply not true. The two biggest adversaries of the retailer trade is firstly themselves, and secondly their broker. Other retail traders figure so far down the food chain as to be inconsequential.

U are clearly a good trader, even though a week ago u traded the euro holiday and lost ten percent, so why don't u start risking a reasonable amount like 1-1.5% a trade and build up your account for 6 months without the volatility roller coaster and use the results to attract I investors so u can take 20-25% of their profit.

Despite what u think, that is by far the smartest and most profitable option.

Either way, we are not your enemy, so how about u at the very least give your fellow traders some fucking respect. Trash talking in your 'trading journal' that has absolutely no journal is just a sad joke. Let's be real brother.

Quite a disappointment to come out from someone who declared him a professional trader in his profile. If you are profitable, do you really need to prove to someone? Let losers remain losers. Let those who need ego to fill up their trading perception. Facts don't lie, if you can do it, do you need to prove it someone.

Okay good for you. Maybe one day you eventually grow balls to maybe trade with real money and show it using a trade explorer.

Wrong. If you make claims like "I am a professional trader", be prepared when people ask you for proof such as a like trading account, instead of become all defensive. Why make a claim if you cannot prove it? People who do this are stupid to me.

Why proving anything ? If you are looking for clients then you'd need proof. Now if you are trading for yourself you don't need to prove anything at all. Especially on a public forum

How important is it to know someone is a pro or not ? Someone is profitable or not ? I don't care at all, they can blow accounts or make millions they are not the one that'll pay your bills every months or feed you

Its just an ego thing, nothing more.

Let the people talk....

i have been following this thread for a while now silently, but i just wanted to say that if tim had started with 50,000-100,000 pounds then i would say he could do it, but starting from 500 and dreaming of 1 million its almost impossible!

im not hating just stating the obvious. after almost two months tim is at 1000 pounds, and now even the trade explorer is gone.

i read in some above statements that he decided to hide is trade explorer because his brokers could see it and do something with his trades, but why would they even bother when you make 50-100 dollars tops per trade? if you were making a few thousand dollars per trade i could understand.

I never understood why people would claim this to be true. It all depends how one is generating capital. If you are able to consistently make profits and make 50.000 pounds from 100 pounds starting capital then honestly, the sky is the limit. With consistency comes believing, which eliminates any subjective emotions once playing with bigger money....

Tim came to prove the orthodox wisdom wrong, only to prove it right. Ironic yes, but worth taking heed.

Reading thru the BS on here its wonder any of you actually trade!

Tim is new and reading thru his working he has a lot to learn, give him credit for trying and aiming high. However proof is always KING. any of you should provide backup to the claims, if your trading and its live and you want to smash someone on here, really need to backup it up. Id say 95% of you on here are wanna be's and keyboard warriors.

Tim, you need to set goals in proper organised structure, your focus is on the wrong thing, YES you can make 1 Mill but you have to change your approach and money management.

Starting low enables fear and therefore small steps are required - your 1st goal should be 1000 pounds - 1 to 3 months this would be 100% return in a month or 33% in 3 months, confidence builds trust and trust builds a logical and mechanical approach when the dollars go higher.

achieve this and then work on 3000, then 5000.

Tim , little steps will see you achieve the bigger picture, as you create the $$ you will also need to learn to deal with money management and longer term changes .

Tim, getting the direction right is very important as FX tends to go sideways more than not and it goes back to the same levels it came from all to often, arm yourself with achieving the impossible with achieving the little , then you can finish this thread with goal achieved. forex offers unique tiems to trade and these can net you the best gains, trading anywhere and all over the place you will make more losses than profits.

So for most of the big mouths on here, no proof of account performance don't slam him until you can show you have the skills.

Tim adding your account is brave and perhaps embarrassing if you make losses, my suggestion is keep doing it and maybe some of the real deals may help you improve. if not id suggest having a look here , it may improve and give you some basics. while I don't use him, he does have some excellent articles and helpful tutorials plus he has done it from scratch and publicly proved it. ( like you he started small)

Professional means you are trading an account that is full time and generally like most traders the professional means you are 3 to 4 times your earning. if you are on 100k a year then generally your trading 300k - 400k .
OR you trade for fund, PFund or group who employ/ provide bonuses or packages to trade full time. THAT IS A PROFESSIONAL! I personally attribute good pro traders to the 1 Mill plus when you traded that amount or more you now how to handle yourself in the market / forex.

NO if's or But's ! just plain common sense and facts.

Good night and i really hope it turns out well on here Tim and likes.

Great post mate. I am still learning, always. Im still trading and I turned of my trade explorer intentionally because I want to see the shit talkers come out

I have been lurking on here for a few days, and the minute I turn off my trade explorer everyone wants to go bat shit crazy.."oohh I knew it, he blew his account".

Why do people have to hate? If my goal is to make 1mill from 500, whats it to you? Why worry about how another man trades or what my goals are? I never hate on anyone with a goal even if it sounds stupid, I will support them all the way, but on this forum its like a lot of depressed unsuccessful traders want to hate on me because I am doing better than them, especially for someone who only studied forex for 7 months and went live.

I get many pm from guys who tell me that they have been trading for several years and I ask me for advice. I also help people, but just because I wont reveal my strategy doesnt mean I am being selfish.

Lol sorry about this rant, but I am tired of these frauds on this website. I have my live trade explorer up unlike the majority of wannabe traders here, so anybody with something negative to say about me, I just assume they are jealous.

I think you mis understand - usual with neebies. I think you made a statement at the start about the trade explorer and honour is a good thing to keep your word, hence why I think you should keep it on, no one hates you nor cares. its the principle from my reading your blog and the followers you have want to look to something each day " in a way saying " if he can do it so can I " most on here are looking or want to be better, they seek the frenzy of profit and gain coz they are not able to always work it out, its getting harder and in systems and strategies the edge on someone else or the market itself is getting tougher .

What's it to me - nothing at all Tim, just I added this coz looking at the way you trade you need to understand this better, coz when you get higher in the values you will blow your account and then you will be back to square ( please read jesse Livermore you will understand what im saying )
Most people on here will ask for advice , of course everyone wants a system that works or help, so don't be too flattered, just accept the obvious when you publicly highlight your trades you will get a crowd .
your system ? well you don't give it away and never reveal it, if it works then keep it, unless you intentionally are going to sell it then you will need to release it at a price or lease it out / rent it as such .

Lastly - be humble in your critique, yes you will always get the odd harsh critics, "haters" is a bad word be polite and just show the trades. don't use excuses on the broker and likes, believe me when your trading 500k plus then it s a problem and believe me they go to great lengths to take from you, even when they partner with you , lol . so don't use excuses just do it ! haha catchy phrase huh.
anyway it was really to help you and let you know Tim its good but stepping and walking then jogging , running or sprinting in the market you will trip and fall and you may not get up so set your goals small . oh one last thing before I go from here , make sure you take something out ? e.g when you get to 2000 or 3000 before Christmas , take the 500 you put in and spend it ! do something for the reward... your mind and body will appreciate it and your family.

Again good luck - you have inspired me to perhaps do my own blog again in the future , perhaps something very challenging for all and very different to what's out there, a different type of goal and results.

Hope this helps

Oh one last thing, brokers and pip spread.

noticed on fx pro who you use, in fact any forex broker - two things you need to know

1. must be STP - straight thru processing, direct market not derived - fxcm for instance is a market maker . so don't be with a broker who are not direct. Straight Through Processing broker which are not a Market Maker and don’t have a dealing desk – which means your trades are instantly executed on the interbank market without any price manipulation.

2. pip spread - in the euro especially you should have .05 spread ( .5/.6 ) worst case should be 1 pip , noticed 1.8 on here, any trader on here that opts for anything more or accepts the huge spreads is crazy
don't be sucked in, but smart and ask and push, no matter your size account, there is tons of brokers and therefore the squeeze is possible. They make a bundle so be afraid to push back and ask. sell yourself and your motive, every pip counts and as you build your account loyalty and partnerships develop.
