{quote} Continuing with my Bold Statements... here's another one. Anyone who has a trading website or into training or newsletter or writes eBooks or have Ads on their blogs, Youtube or any secondary stream in income in the field of trading... is NOT a Trader... is NOT a full-time Trader... is NOT a profitable Trader... is NOT a successful trader If you believe they are then I feel sorry for you. You lack common sense, you are naive, you lack judgement, you are easily prone to manipulation, you lack self-reliance, you will rely on your parents to...
Of course that covers it all

Check this out, he trades, he has a website, he has a forum, he writes code, he has a thread here, but he's not over the top like Fuller

So you're correct, he is = "is NOT a full-time Trader"

However, your implication is that educators wouldn't be making money just doesn't cover everything, everybody, everywhere

In fact, instead of telling us who is not something, how about defining who is successful?

{quote} That statement is of a losing trader. You and VEEFX are losing traders. Nothing wrong with being a losing trader. We need losing traders for trading. Being able to code has no bearing on being a winning trader. In fact, programmers are used by guys with winning ideas. You lack winning ideas. Look at Steve Jobs. He has limited tech skills, difficult to work with but he has winning ideas. And that is why he gets the big bucks. And turned a fruit into a brand. {quote} What rubbish.

If you think it's rubbish then you have no clue how to keep a winning trade from becoming a losing trade.

Also, using Steve Jobs as a man with 'winning ideas' is cliche hogwash and means you have no clue how ideas are generated. At least Elon Musk thinks big while selling hype.

I have only really seriously looked at 2 methods of trading/forecasting. One was BPA - brooks price action course -- it is mainly day trading the Emini on 5min chart with anchor charts in 15 and 60min TF.. however it can be applied to Forex. It "can" work.. but not for me.. i could not watch every 5 min candle like he does. however you can search his webpage and see examples of his stuff .. interesting and mainly price action trading bar by bar.

The second is EWT - Elliott Wave Theory or Wave theory. This is my current way to go and it really is promising. I have learned alot over the last year and the forecasting is getting better. Trading strategy is coming along. I foresee this method for me for the long term and I can trade forex in the 240/60 min TF and it fits me SO much better. The book is great and it is a small investment on Amazon, or you can get a .pdf version for free online. Frost and Prechter / Authors. Personally, I like having the book itself for notes in it etc etc.

Good luck, hope you find what you are looking for! -- Doc

{quote} I have no desire to justify why I 'overtrade'. trading one standard lot on one pair or 10 minilots across 5 pairs or 100 microlots across 20 pairs is NOT overtrading. I have spent hours, days, weeks, months making live calls here and on skype. Folks are just too dense to understand what I do
Oh right, so everyone else is too dense (or stupid) to understand what you do? But yet you declare that so many others that trade in a way that you do not agree with or understand are simply not profitable traders. Mate, I have to say it, you are ridiculous.

{quote} Agree that in trading you can't avoid math completely, but there are plenty of traders who are profitable without using advanced statistics or portfolio math.
difficult, many dont know it better and think they dont use it, i did not see one good profitable without. but i am coming from bank/trading groups/private funds, so maybe this is an other topic and there are some small private traders outside, but its then like hedging, they could improve results very easy with using advanced statistics or portfolio math. is was done always and never seen its not possible to extremly improve easy.

to hedging: i did see you write many good posts about this topic, all 100% correct, so i thought too this was only a mistake that you used this as an second example.
you are writing good content.

{quote} That is just your opinion. If someone can make price action alone work for them then that is a winning strategy. Check out Nial fuller and then tell me Price action alone doesn't work. So many people here are far too quick to criticise other peoples ideas.

Well I have a EURUSD long but support Le Penn only because Obama supports Macron, gotta be careful who that one roots for.

From the links you posted I didn't find anything that suggests both iDouble and Crucial point are the same fellow .
Being a novice trader and having read the intelligent posts of these two ,I have great respect for them .
But if what you are claiming is true (there is a big IF) then this is really sad .

I think 5 years is a very long time already. Is it really that hard to come up to a good trading strategy? I think you should practice to a demo account and test your trading strategy. Have you earned profit on that entire 5 years of your trading career?

{quote} so what did you learn or what will you do differently going forward to avoid starting another thread like this in 5 yrs? Nevermind... cya you in another 5 years after seeing this I'm looking for a simple indicator (like below) which have an option to enable historical ATR/ADR levels for X days. Is there something worth trying? Lesson Learnt : Should have checked your profile before participating in this thread. Looks like start new threads is your hobby {image}...

ok... Well I for one thought the Hangover 3 was a compiment to both the Hanover 1 and the Hangover 2, whereas many sequels fail on their second motion

When I was little, my father was famous
He was the greatest samurai in the empire
And he was the Shogun's decapitator
He cut off the heads of a hundred and thirty-one lords
It was a bad time for the empire
The Shogun just stayed inside his castle and he never came out
People said his brain was infected by devils
My father would come home, he would forget about the killings
He wasn't scared of the Shogun, but the Shogun was scared of him
Maybe that was the problem
Then, one night, the Shogun sent his ninja spies to our house
They were supposed to kill my father but they didn't
That was the night everything changed...
