{quote} 13 trades is not a sample size that can prove anything. Volatility has sucked for the last year. When I started trading forex, coming from other instruments, I could easily have 80 pip days with EURUSD. Sometimes off just one trade. That takes more work now. And 80 pip days are rare.
Do you not see what I am trying to illustrate here ? On a day when you are suggesting no volatility blah blah, somebody else has managed to produce the goods.
You are arguing my point rather well. I’m not the one whining about volatility so why do I need to prove anything ?
“When I Started Forex” “I could easily have 80 pip days” “80 Pip days are rare”
So if you think that way what do you do about it ? Whining about what once was doesn’t get you anywhere does it ?
What would you do if for example your chosen pair say EU had a trading range of 20 pips every day ?
Would you whine about it ? Or would you find a way to capitalise on what’s available ?
If your current approach means you can’t land trades in the current conditions, then you either adapt or not bother at all. The time you waste on yapping about how it used to be is rather silly don’t you think?
Surely that time would be better spent on finding a solution rather than labouring on the point that you think the market is not like it used to be.
Most of you are in fantasy land, you want proof of this and that and yet are clearly in no position to make those demands. The people who have offered advice are clearly unaffected by existing market conditions which are apparently so detrimental to you. The leeches who are always demanding proof are always the same, they choose to waste energy on arguing futile points instead of being positive and find a way.
Incidentally EU had hourly swings of 34 + 75 + 55 + 40 yesterday.
Feed off the abundance of mice and maybe the odd gazelle once in a while ?
Be stubborn and emaciated waiting for a gazelle and hope they haven’t become extinct ?
It’s easy to tell those who aren’t serious, rather than accept some wisdom from those that are clearly surviving you prefer to argue on points you are clearly failing at.
In any business if you see the bottom line faltering you nip it in the bud or go under.
Trading is the same, find a way or go under, complaining about your situation only adds to your workload.
And the question marks aren’t there for you or anyone else to answer me, you probably best answering yourselves, I really don’t care and before the dick swinging comments. I could post similar stats for years but that’s nothing remarkable, it’s just what you would expect from any profitable business isn’t it ? Somehow it disgruntles the lazy failures but the positive non whining types are incentivised and hunker down to find their own way.
Once You See, You Can't Unsee But You Will Get The Odd Poke In The Eye
Good Luck
