    Best Thread The 3 Duck's Trading System

    I actually went long the AUD/USD and am currently up 140 pips. 2 for 2 with this system. Gonna keep looking for setups and paper trading this system. The UDS/JPY just broke the 5 min. 60 SMA to go short

    Best Thread The 3 Duck's Trading System

    I just wanted to mention that I shorted the USD/CHF early this week using this method and made 165 pips .9325 - .9160. This was actually my first Forex paper trade ever. I'll be looking to paper trade this method for a while.

    Did any of you Forex traders start out trading stocks and switched? Why?

    I've been reading the various online beginners courses on Forex and will study Price Action Trading before opening a Forex demo acct. Reason being, I spend a huge amount of time screening stocks and then you have earnings surprises and what have you. I'm curious if some of you found the same...

    Best Thread How To Make Money Trading The Markets.

    Great thread Mr. Charts and very generous of you to share - I just wish I didn't work during market hours so I could experiment with this method myself. Have you ever tried this method with 1 hour charts as a swing trade? If not, I may have to do some paper trading to test it. Thanks, Steve

    Would you be happy with 15% a year?

    15% per year? In my 401k - yes. In my personal trading acct - not at all. If I can't beat money managers in my personal acct then why bother? That's what makes it worthwhile for me.

    Time and money for your first year or two.

    I can only comment from my own personal experience, but while I'd love to eventually make a living trading, I'm being realistic in my situation - I work a day job during market hours, need to provide a stable income for my family with health insurance, so I swing/position trade going for the...

    Stan Weinstein's Stage Analysis

    Thanks for the heads-up on Chartmill - they have some great parameters to screen for. Do you think it would help to screen for the price near lows as well? I've been a CANSLIM guy, but I think this method has the potential to get in much earlier for a bigger chunk of the runup, although...
