    That is excellent advise. I would advise the OP to print it out and tape it up next to your monitor. Then get to it.

  2. In a sense, what you are wanting is akin to asking Eric Clapton to teach you to play guitar well enough to be able to acquire his same level of fame and fortune. You either have what it takes mentally and psychologically to put the screen time in to learn and find your own way, or you don’t. No one is going to be able to do that for you. If you are the type that requires hand-holding or spoon feeding, trading successfully is probably not in your future.

    For the record, ET is not a pool of professional traders as you implied, as you can probably count on both hands the members who are actually profitable year in and year out with a finger or two left over. Case in point, there was a thread recently asking what the perceived ‘BS’ factor was on ET, and overwhelmingly the majority agreed is was north of 97%. What’s worse is that those agreeing with that number saw no harm in deceptive behavior of pretending to be something they are not, and actually promoted it. It’s sad that this is what the world has come to.

    Moral of story, be very careful where you cast your line.

    Good luck,

    I don't recall anyone asking you. From this point on, if we want your opinion, I'll give it to you.

  6. Steve, you couldn't be more confused.

    Show me why anything I said is incorrect. Don't just disagree.

    Show me Jack or Spyder's audited. longterm track record. The only time he did, Jack got his head handed to him.

  7. You left out "and expecting it for free" because somehow, we should expect that from those who made it?

    That is the naive part.

  8. Do not listen to those that tell you not to trade forex.

    Just because they are too lazy to come up with a working strategy does not mean that its impossible.

    Personally I think trading forex is alot easier than trading es.

    Of course, you need to understand, that only 10% of the people who trade anything will succeed.

  10. Bad analogy, trading and being a brain surgeon don't have anything in common.
