I totally agree with the comments above, even though you may feel them to be a little harsh at the moment. I started off 10 years ago in similar circumstances, and only wish I had heeded the same advice that was given to me at the time. We always think that we are going to be the ones who are...

I agree that it is much harder to achieve consistent profits in auto trading. I suppose the attraction is having to spend less chart time, whereas manual trading is much more time-consuming. My struggle over the past few years has also been to find a nice balance between the two.

My major frustration is the way the forex market like any commercial market can go into a very long period of low liquidity that tests trader resolve, throws a spanner in the works of back tested systems that you may be using or trialling, and generally makes you question your current approach...

i) Is it easier to trade Forex generally than equities? – I find it much easier, especially because the market is open 24 hours at a stretch, with no daily close in the afternoon, after which unexpected news can be released which affects a stock. i.e are liquidity, volatility generally...

Cheers, agree with that approach :-)

From your source: Always: every time; on every occasion; without exception Regularly: at regular times or intervals You don't understand the diff? Oh well...

I recently wrote something on my blog regarding a candlestick recognition chart I use. The responses I got from people were interesting, to say the least. Being a big user of candlesticks myself – they figure highly in one strategy I use, although not all strategies – I was surprised to find...

Good article. One of the best and most successful professional forex traders I know constantly cites the figure of 20% per annum as being a very respectable return for any fund trader to make. A sobering thought to those about to quit their jobs and trade for a living on their ten thousand...

Hi, I thought you could do with some thoughtful feedback LOL! It may interest you to know that most professional forex traders/fund traders would be happy with 20% per year on their account. However, this doesn't take into account the amount they risked on any trade. What you may make in any...

Most of the really successful traders I know are either too busy or too shy to talk about their success. I've actually had the devil of a time getting any to interview for my site. The one bloke I have got so far – Jarratt Davis – will tell you that it's far from an easy ride to the top, but...

I feel there are 3 things you need to make it as a trader: 1. A sound education in the fundamentals of the market you will trade 2. A genuine and honest handle on your unique personal psychology 3. An approach to trading your chosen market based on and tailored to the preceding point There are...
