I just read it a second time, it's great, I feel like it's helping me to break out of the rut I've found myself in. I've had series' of profitable trades followed by losses and I now see that it could just be a quality of the current system I use for trading. I'll be needing to make adjustments...

Thanks TraderNumber7 for your very thorough response(which I have yet to completely sift through) and for coming to my defence! You've really given me a lot to ponder on actually :)

Vorbis, I may be new to this but that doesn't mean that I'm not able to ask a few informed questions, I'm a newbie, not an idiot :P As for the rest of your posting, you may very well be right, he could just be a good salesman with a bit of trading knowledge, they could just be trying to grab...

So you're saying I made a bad decision by joining? Or implying that I'm a spokesperson for them? I've never heard the term sock-puppet used quite like that and I'm assuming it's the latter of the two. Truthfully, I was skeptical about it, the site doesn't really offer the best facade and I...

Hey guys and gals, I found something that I thought I’d share with you. As some of you may know(I posted in a seperate thread about this), one of the problems I’ve been having since starting this whole forex business is learning to trade profitably without blowing my account in the learning...

I think I've hit a wall of sorts with all this advice from people, I'm considering getting a mentor or just jumping into live trading. You can only read so much on trading and demo trade for so long before you need to move on!

I like sizzler944's concise list although I'd prefer not having to wait 3-4 years until I'm profitable. Who knew there was so much debate over whether to trade demo or not! I'd have to agree with TimYoung, if you trade on demo as you would with real money there's no way that it can't be...

I've also been told that you should give yourself a time limit otherwise you may never begin trading or you may have a string of luck and actually start too soon. Above all though.. I don't think that what you're looking for exists! There is NO perfect time to begin and if there were, it would...

How is having a different full-time job for sustaining? hahaha As for not trusting indicators, that makes sense, they're just a tool, and like every tool they aren't infallible.

That's what I thought, I was just commenting on how I saw false indications with the fractal. I would say that in conjunction with a couple more indicators it would be a good way to enter a trade earlier for maximum profitability. As for what Joseff said.. that's exactly what my math teacher...

Very interesting! It also looks like the fractal is prone to giving false signals or fake-outs too though... I guess you'd have to be careful with it, there's a few points where it shows that you should stop a trade or start a trade in a certain trend but it actually continues in the same trend...

I see I see, then my default settings of 5, 3, 3 are for a much shorter time frame.

I've just used the stochastic with default settings, I'll have to review exactly how it works again before changing it in any way. How come you use 34, 21, 13 JahDave? A microwave latte does not sound very enticing...

From what I've seen so far as well, that seems to be the case. I've been looking at 5min, 30min and 4 hour charts to get a better idea of the "big picture". I don't want to be caught with my pants down because I didn't have the presence of mind to check the overall trend or to find a proper...

I will do so, it's not that I don't understand. I guess it's just the way it's written is like a train of thought and I haven't caught the train yet haha I read another article on how to take advantage of multiple timeframes which has helped to understand as well. I'll pour over it a couple more...
