    Different or Better?

    Trendie, The grass is always greener isn't it? I'm sure that most don't make anything from strategies that fundamentally work anyway, as they don't have the discipline to do what they're supposed to when certain things happen. Therefore what's said on here or any other board can be 'skewed'...

    He don't make any money though! Well done Christoph-Lammy-Pie, I'd like to salivate over your long wick but looks like there's 150000(ish) other punters already there :lol: Seriously, good content and nice and concise. Now how come you keep coming back?

    timsk Throws in the Towel (but clings on to the facecloth) . . .

    Tim, Very commendable of you to open up to total strangers and most will feel exactly the same because they aren't the "Uber-traders" they make out (me included here!)....but who's ever going to find out unless they admit it?! We're all just as embarrassed at the fcuk ups that we keep making...

    Best Thread 55000 % in ONE month !

    JT, Me again. I feel like I'm stalking you as you're the only person I reply to lately! If you are the person in the first quote below then you shouldn't be looking at 5min and 15min charts IMO. If you hesitate on a 5min chart you will miss opportunities and take bad trades. If you're cautious...

    Tell the truth.Who does/doesnt make consistent trading profits.R U even a net winner?

    Mind your own f'in business! JT, as it's you i'll reply. :lol: I am now mostly consistently profitable. I still need to tidy things up. I can tell you my percent win rate on average is around 75-80%. Until I earn back all that I've put into trading though I would not say I am a net winner...

    Best Thread Joke of the day

    Crunchtime with credit humour How do you define optimism? A banker who irons five shirts on a Sunday. What's the difference between an investment banker and a large pizza? The pizza can still feed a family of four. As a surprise, a chief exec's wife pops by his office. She finds him in...

    TheBramble

    Aren't forums a bit like friends really? You really enjoy each other for some time then you get bored or just simply move on to new friends (move onto new forums). Sometimes you're in touch with the old friends years later and you think 'why did we ever lose touch?' and you carry on as though...

    - Borg always reminds me of a porn star. - Steve Davis... hhhmmmm next you'll be saying John Major is up there too. Mr Boring - Ivan Drago now where did he go? Maybe you need some new role models mate. Why do we always have to aspire to someone famous? - Someone you know and respect. My uncle...

    I honestly cannot recommend that anyone develop, or follow up an interest in trading.

    Give it up! JT (and anyone else for that matter), Have you not ever just thought that you're crap and will never be good enough to cut it in this game? (I have often thought this and still do sometimes mate so this is nothing personal!) At least you can try something else if that's the case...

    Volatility & the Recession. Is Volatility Here to Stay for Some Time Yet?

    JT, glad you're enjoying the current climate. I don't think I'm qualified to answer any of your questions really. I don't too much care how opportunities present themselves as long as I can profit from any market condition. This is what this game is all about after all isn't it? Taking what...

    How To Make Big Money

    Definition? Has anyone defined what 'big' means yet? Big to me may be £10mill or even £1000. Are we talking just retail trader or institution? Every person in the market will have different targets and goals. Everyones needs are different and as long as you can quantify your 'big' then that's...

    Shortcuts vs knowledge

    And herein lies the problem, for a few people that use bulletin boards to justify their bad trading decisions by asking others opinions. If another 'trader' has made the same buy/sell decision as you it gives you that warm fuzzy feeling that everything will be ok, so just let it ride a little...

    Trading sucks - big time - doesn't it?

    Another question you need to ask yourself is; what's the alternative? There are so many people out there that think their job sucks and would love to do something else. If you're net positive then it's just going on to better that, slowly slowly catchy monkey. Same with anything you do in life...

    Shortcuts vs knowledge

    Hello JT, I don't think Mark will tell you anything to be honest.... he's done it all before and got all kinds of sh!t thrown at him saying he was a cheat and a liar etc etc. I wasn't around to see all of that but have been fortunate to be given some of his time for free. He's got something...
