I too am curious as to which style prevails. But the more I think about it, the sample size is too small. Not to mention the other variables involved. It seems the best style to follow is the one that makes you money. After all that's what its all about. Personally I change it up, as of late, I'm in scalp mode. I don't, and will never understand why so many people here on FF insist on believing their style, or method is correct and the other guys is wrong.
Hi PayTheLimit,

It's very much a cliché but everyone is on their individual journey to find their niche in the Trading world.

We all must serve our apprenticeship and try a bit of everything until we find our own speciality.

I've concluded that, for me, the best approach is to spend the least amount of time as possible exposed to the Market.

For me it's now about accuracy of Entry the higher the TF, you Enter a Trade from, the less accurate your entry will be hence the need for a bigger SL.

It's this lack of accuracy that exposes us to more risk "Time = Risk".

The more time we spend in a Trade the more chance there is that the Setup that took us into the Trade will no longer be valid.

I agree with you on most points. But in my view higher time frames offer some important information sometimes lost on the LTFs. Also it should be said that since Time = Risk, Time also equals reward. But its all pie in the sky. There are endless ways to skin a cat.

I am so confused - i thought he was Long .... and I was too ... I closed mine just a while ago for a small profit and posted here that it should have hit his 140.30 TP .. then I saw the TEs, and quickly deleted my post.

Looks like he may be taking this one to the grave.

140.68 is the price where it won't be his choice any longer... at least if my math is correct. May be slightly lower than that.

Well, looks like he managed to close it out at about the high.

I don't want to see anyone blow an account or get margin called. I do hope it turns in his favour so he can manage out the trade.

Exactly! I am so confused! I can't imagine that he did that deliberately - maybe it's the virus .....

I'm not wanting to beat a dead horse here. And I'm going to try and say this all as nicely as possible.

Since GJscalper showed up here, he's been a troll. Recently he's turned a new leaf, and that's been nice.

But him and I got into it because he has a tendency to attack people that don't agree with him or call him out. I've seen him do this on at least two other TE's and swiftly delete them afterward. He then proceeds to act like he knows what he's doing, act like he's a profitable and successful trader, and others follow him thinking the same thing.

After four days of this challenge, my goal is finally coming to fruition: to expose GJscalper. Sure, he could recover. But he's violated all the rules he preaches, all the things he trolls other people for doing.

What I'd love to see is for him to come clean, admit he's still learning proper money management. The guy clearly has a knack for picking up on price action. But his system is deeply flawed.

The FF community is here to teach and to learn. Mostly learn, because there are few that can teach. GJscalper stil needs to learn, and I think the FF community would be willing to embrace him if he decided to eat some humble pie.

It's incredible how you're looking for an excuse rather than seeing, plain as day, what's going on here.

Pure gambling sadly, predicted it a couple of days back. Sad to see that happen, but inevitable. Best of luck recovering this one GJ, I honestly hope you do. Geppy, I must say very graciously handled when you saw his loss. Back to square one guys and you both can go again!

Yep, it's technically not over. As long as GJscalper has a balance and wishes to continue competing.

I'll also say one thing, and get off MY high horse.

After 20+yrs of trading, I can only tell you one thing. Trading is about loosing, its not about winning. Learn to take losses. Assume every trade is dead wrong.

No no you got me all wrong ... I am genuinely confused.
I followed this thread because I was reading your blog and your thread, and I was biased from the start i.e rooting for u to win and believing you will def win.
Then I saw GJS's actions (and also because my husband is a scalper) and I thought 'hey I could learn something from this guy perhaps - nevermind his emo displays at times!' and then I started to think this could be a tight fight and a really exciting match to watch.

And GJS started being nice and was patiently explaining his system - i was reading all of that (and i admit i couldn't understand all of it) ... and sincerely was trying to learn something new...

Guess I was naive...

You've got about double my experience in this game, but I concur.
