{quote} But you did make huge looses. You said yourself. Of course its looses. Everyone looses. I did not say i was making a living from trading forex. So get your facts straight. And its obvious that all you are here for is trolling. Don't need to tell anyone that. You enjoy riling up the heard as much as i like riling up grammar Nazis

Thank you. You just made my point.
This downward spiral is a thing of beauty.
I rest my case.

Once again as Mingray the douche cannot read; Fact: Of course no retail fore trader makes any money. Maybe the ones who make a few lucky wins and then run. But that's it. Not even large hedge funds or banks make long term money thus they are all giving up on Forex. I make a great living investing and have not had to work for someone for many years. But sorry kiddies, it wasn't forex that made me and continues to make me wealthy.


Actually I feel sorry for you and mingray, both talking a bs and don't have a clue about things.

enjoy your day.

So the question being debated is "do highly successful expert traders exist?"

Then let's get one step nearer to the crux of the matter. The question behind the question is "Is the Efficient Market Hypothesis theory true?". Here's why:

If the answer is yes, then it's mathematically impossible to profit systematically as a trader, as 'trends' and patterns are illusory in a completely random walk, hence all types of analysis are futile and all P/L is fortuitous, and -- given the effect of transaction costs -- EVERY trader who trades for long enough must eventually lose. There are plenty of academic papers endorsing EMH, and skeptics like Mingary can always cite them as evidence. These skeptics can always say that traders, investors, funds etc that have been profitable for 5 years, 10 years, even 20 years, are merely statistical outliers that exist in every random distribution. Or in other words, the empires of the Kovners and Tudor Joneses have ultimately been built on their being blessed with an inordinate amount of luck. However improbable this might seem, if EMH is a valid theory, then the skeptics' arguments are 100% bulletproof.

If the answer is no, then non-random price movement exists, and out of the millions who have attempted trading, there will inevitably be a few geniuses with the aptitude, nerve, dedication etc necessary to exploit it, and thus systematically compound large sums of money. Geniuses exist in every field of human endeavor, and there is no reason to believe that trading is an exception. If EMH is false, then trading millionaires -- who have attained their wealth through their persistent application of skill and expertise -- will inevitably exist. The same principle applies to retail forex.

actually, hate to nit pick but it would properly be referred to as 'a b's s'. the term 'a bullshit' or 'a bs' does not make sense because there needs to be ownership implied towards the bull which is the owner nee/producer of said bullshit

'a bull's shit' or 'a bull's bullshit' or 'a b's bullshit' or 'a b's bs' are all proper examples where ownership is implied

Would that still apply if the bull was not owned by a living entity?

1. Don't listen to Mingary. He is just trying to bait people to show him a winning strategy.


2. The base chance of winning a trade are almost exactly 50/50. That's it. The random walk theory is complete garbage. look at some price action for 2 days and if you only see pure random noise you should get your head checked.

Market is a common-sense psychology collective of masses of people participating. It is predictable, as predictable is your old friend, given the time involved and right questions asked.

I wanted to make a journal, but constantly posting and annotating charts is very time-consuming, so im just too lazy for this. http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...36#post8744636

Thomas Edison said, "Ones greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." And a fellow named Tom Krause said, "Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose." We have all blown up accounts (I certainly have) but at the end of the day we hear that quiet voice "I will try again tomorrow."

I don't agree , provided your entry is correct and all the parameters are right, you are looking at 90%+
