    Mine is 7 consecutive winning rows in a day. But one should not focus on the longest streak instead higher in profits over losses.

    Can someone tell me the longest losing streak? I better not be embarrassed. :D

  3. Back in my mutual fund timing days, I once had a client call me up and ask, "Do you realize we haven't had a losing trade all year? (That was in July).

    Guess how the next trade turned out..... :)

    Never bothered to research "longest winning streak", but my longest losing streak is still 9. (Notice how we remember our failures more vividly than we remember our wins....)

    I call bullshit on you schweiz (as have others already). If you're catching moves as you claim via your chart, and if you've got a system that works in all markets, you should be too rich to waste your time on anyone here and be trading from your super yacht. If you'd like to back up your claims with a screenshot of fills from your broker, I'd be a little more impressed perhaps, but we both know you will do no such thing. Your super trader status claims are getting to be a bit much.

    Typical arguments from "traders" who are still nowhere. A superyacht is proof of profitability???
    I know rich people who don't have a superyacht. According to you they are not rich as trhey have no yacht?

    "Perhaps... and a little more." In short you will never believe anything that is shown.

    Don't get too frustrated, it is bad for your health.

    PS: for the good understanding: with any markets I mean: trending, not trending, sideways...

    Typical method by which "super" traders operate on message boards is to take a chart, circle some areas where they supposedly took trades, and then claim it was easy. I even love how you say that the 15 min isn't a chart you trade. So why not just upload a picture of your chart, marked with entries and exits, however your platform indicates it? Surely you have it??? Any profitable trader keeps very good records. Hindsight traders do as you do.

  8. I'm not using indicators anymore. Maybe at the most trendlines, but even that is falling to the wayside. What is more important is the 'feel' of the trade. I take a snapshot approach. I only look at the market during an active 1-2 hr interval. Than place limit orders or market orders if discipline is waning. Longest losing streak maybe 2 possibly 3.
