Do full-time forex traders exist or is it just make believe?

  1. no kidding, I'd hate to be just guessing what eur.usd. is going to do

    I stick to the majors

    the problem with some of these other ones is, the spread gets so wide in the afternoon that it is just about impossible to get out

    I traded that NOK one time, man was that a wild ride, and NZD is a bitch

    use to trade all 6 pairs, but the snb peg messed me up

    now I am ex jpy

    so just 4 pairs

  2. trading just usd, you create your own crosses with size

  3. once you get into usd, you lose all interest in spy, bnd or gld

    much more fun to run the scoreboard, than the game

  4. An update on the TA challenge: 2 trades so far----


    Close but no cigar on the AUD trade:

    Stopped out of the EUR/USD

    So far, TA just isn't working.

  5. Long from 1.0267 on AUDUSD so that's currently in the green. So down 15 pips marked on two trades and still in AUD. We can forget it if you're going to gloat over the first two trades.

  6. True its only been 2 trades. but it has been 12 days into a 30 day challenge, almost the 1/2 way point and the results are one loser and one trade still open.

    You can't change your entry or exit points picked in advanced. Otherwise its not fair. I'll not report untill the end of the month, if that's what you want.

    PS-- are any of the TA brigade brave enough to take the challenge? I didn't think so--- atticus isn't even a die hard TA guy---

  7. I've been long that aud.usd since back when my mind could remember things, all it ever does is lose me money, but I never added to it, so it was always my smallest position, and then just like losers do, I closed out my profits just so it would not be my largest loser and I could add to it again, but even though it is going up, it is still a loser and now I can't get filled on any pullback, I tell ya man, this trading is a real bitch, if I ever get out of this trade alive I am just going to go raise chickens, or maybe get a job like normal people do, shouldn't be hard, since I have years on my resume of just sitting in my pajamas staring at a screen, how many other walmart applicants can say that?

  9. Perhaps that's the only real way to succeed in trading - waiting for that one moment when the "real bitch" finally spreads her legs. :D :D
