You can have all the bells & whistles in the world, but If you don't have strong mental discipline, then you won't succeed. The three most important things in trading are - :smart: Discipline :smart: Dispcipline :smart: Discipline :smart: Mark :clap:

If your not willing to invest a few quid in books that will change your way of trading & hopefully increase your bank balance, then this numbers game is not for you. I've read the book twice & now reading it for a third time & still learning - I can't put it down. Mark :thumbsup:

I can't believe that one of the TW2 moderators has'nt heard of Way of the Turtle by Curtis Faith. I think he might be taking the michael ! Mark :lol:

Certainly for a scalper or day trader, japanese candlesticks offers a better picture of the condition in the markets. As I trade futures this does'nt really apply to me, as I use the an old turtle system called the donchian with a couple of added filters, but I can see the value of...

I found myself in the first year of trading breaking the rules that I had set out to follow - moving stop losses to try and let a position breath, taking profits to early & not using my filtering rules. The book that changed everything for me was Way of the Turtle by the most successful of...

As I've already mentioned, the people that I take advice from are people who are proven & have made lots of money in their chosen field. If anyone wants to learn trading, then learn from the best, need I say more ? Cheers Mark :)

What I want from trading is Profit, pure & simple ! I'll not go into great detail about it, but I don't want to work for anyone else, as I've invested my time & some money, into finding out what works & what does'nt for me. The books I've purchased are from people who have made £m's from trading...

It's fine when people say to trade demo accounts, but you only get the experience of using the brokers platform & placing a trade. The real problem starts when it's real money & when emotions come into play. It can cause strange reactions & you have to learn to conquer those demons & to cut your...

We all have to learn our trade from somewhere ! Buying a course & reading books are probably the best route to take. I have personally bought materials from people who are proven & have made vast amounts of money on trading. It's always better to invest in something/someone who knows their...

Best of luck to you Trader Dante, I hope you go ahead with it ! Again with any method you need to try & put the odds in your favour & let your position run until it breaks the rules. The whole business is just a numbers game & we're all fighting to climb up the pyramid, unfortunately the higher...

I have found to my cost to avoid tipster services & news channels & to trade what you see & not what you hear. The reason why these guys work for companies & speculate, Is because they would'nt be able to hack it for themselves or they have failed in trading ! A good bit of advice is what ever...

Most folk want easy fish & live for the day, If you learn to fish you live a lot longer in this game ! You can't use the same methodology all the time, as the markets have mood swings & most of the time go sideways (apart from 2008) & they sometimes trend. It's important to spot this difference...

You can never underestimate the psychology of the market ! After you've read the relevant books & courses & put what you've read into action, only then can you decide what & how to trade. Every person will trade differently according to their personality. The only thing I use now for Futures...

Response ......... Hi There The main reason in not posting on the forum as much, Is because I went from a junior member with 30+ posts to a rookie with 20+ posts ! I sent an email to one of your administrators & did'nt get a response. I have always been very open & honest with all my posts &...

Hi FactualVinay That's right there is certainly no holy grail - if there is then please tell me about it !! We are currently in counter trend mode (up & down & getting chopped up), so this is not really good for trend trading at present & that's why folk are getting a bit confused about LS ! We...
