Hoe do you know that some of the winners of the dukascopy competition get employed by some of the biggest fx firms ? Such as ?
Pissing match aside, I have a buddy that does make low to mid 6-figures trading retail forex out of his house.
What I am interested in is the person who has ever won one of those contests more than once in a row-- then it might signal something. Any gambler can get lucky and win the contest ( lottery ).
Someone could post real time trades in a journal thread. This would obviously be hard if they were scalping, but if it's longer term it's very doable. I've been doing it for years. You can't edit posts here so there's no deleting trades that didn't work out or changing entry points. Of course, I don't trade Forex.
hey, guys, after oldtime jinxed me last night, I had a bad day. And I don't plan on coming back to this site. It's not totally bad, I just took the trade on the daily TF and now I'm in some drawdown, but still with the larger trend. I'm much more comfortable with lower TFs. But this is the worst DD I've had. Call it psychology. You do very well for three months and then someone tells you it's a lucky streak. You work hard to create results and try to show verified results to people with one of the best verifiers in the business. And they still claim it's fake. It messes with your brain. For the sake of my results, I'm better off not talking with anyone. Find me on Linkedin. There's no chatting there Likewise, if someone is up for a contest, also get in touch. I'm not difficult to find. I wish everyone a very profitable 2013. Andrew
No, I would say that low to mid six figures/yr is a decent living considering most of the people on this site live with their parents and haven't made that much in their entire life.
