Atokys, I agree on "net-losing forex traders here have a lot in common with the bucketshop gamblers"....

I disagree on:

- the many detailed accounts of successful speculators....

Please show me audited results in detail over at least 5 years of successful forex speculators.
That would be of some help.

Every day has an "aha" moment. Normally, its "aha, so that's why I shouldn't have bought/sold right there", or "aha, I'm such a friggin' moron. I should really find a new hobby....like ping pong".
hm...ping pong is a good idea

All the ones I know of trade a diversified portfolio. You have admitted to reading several of my posts before, how have you not picked up my disdain for FF's special breed of 'Forex Traders'?

But of course you are just dutifully fulfilling your role as a Forex Skeptic.

Funny thing is there is so much in common between the Skeptics and the Suckers. Neither have the faintest clue about profitable Speculation.

Given that "successful forex speculator" is an oxymoron, what you are requesting does not exist.

Not exactly Master Mingary .

Many Forex traders are highly successful in playing out emotional dramas and losing money.

My "Ahaaaa!" moments have generally been about certain trades when I noticed a good signal that allowed me to profit a lot, but I've never had them about all my trading in general.

My Ahaaaa moment was when I realized I have to turn the stop losses into profits, cause the SLs outnumber the TPs by 4-5-6 times(!) and moved from the useless chase of trend to the easy trading in the range. This is where everything had changed for me and things start moving the direction I wanted them to be...

My Ahaaaaaa moments were few:
When i realised that emotions and haste ruin my profits
When i decided to be patient and enter small minilots
When i realised moving averages are usefull if trading only E/A the rest is pure action. Keep an eye on 200MA only.
When I comprehended that patterns are cr.p and news move the market.
When i stopped trading cr.ppy currencies like AUD, GBP, CAD, JPY.
.....so to summarise it : Aahhaaaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-absolutely-takes-years-to-be-profiteaaaaaable
Beware of robber banks (RB), bad advisors.

When was it when you got the Ahaaaaa moment in forex trading? For me it was about 4 months ago and am profitable now after a few years trading.
The best ahaa moments now come from getting a grip with orderflow
