from http://www.smh.com.au/business/markets/the-dark-underworld-of-forex-trading-20150120-12uoi9.html Investors around the world haven't lost their appetite to trade in the post-financial-crisis era. But instead of playing the sharemarket, they fancy themselves as global currency traders...

This poll asks whether you think forex trainers should show their results. You can only choose one answer, and they need a little explanation. In an ideal world, any results that a trainer shows would be live, that people can track remotely through MyFxBook (or possibly a similar system)...

Hi Cedric, no i haven't manually tested the trading plan. But going by my results after 6 months, it's not that flash. It may be the case that you can't expect decent results in 6 months. But i also kept a record of my results with TFG's Chart of the Day (COD), and my success rate with these is...

I wouldn't say it's a bad course - maybe not the best? I'm not a good trader yet myself, so i can't really say, but Chris Capre's comments make sense...

Hi Cedric Nial says in that article that his win rate is *between* 30% and 50% (rather than just 30%), his RR is *generally* between 1:2 and 1:3, but that "you need a few in there that are really going to put you in front." Even so, that's an interesting table you have there - where does it...

Chris Capre may have some kind of bee in his bonnet about Nial Fuller, but this is a pretty strong indictment of Nial's recent competition win: https://2ndskiesforex.com/trading-strategies/nial-fullers-71-drawdown-in-the-axitrader-competition/

Hi Cedric, thanks for sharing your results. I'm new to price action, so can't comment with any real weight, but a 1 year record with a 43% win rate doesn't sound bad. Not sure what to make of Nial Fuller - though quite a few of the free articles on his site are interesting - but he claims to be...

Those are pretty good trades to start with! I'm feeling much more comfortable with picking trades after only 4 months. So if this is only, say, your second month, i'd say hang in there. Since last month, though, i also close out early if i think a trade is going to tank it. Plus i no longer use...

Attached are my April results - my first profitable month. So much so, in fact, that i more than wiped out half the debt i racked up in the first 3 months. Most of that money came from 2 larger winners, confirming what Mark Shawzin (mentioned earlier) says, that you only need 2 or 3 bigger...

Hi Tom, you found price action early, so hopefully no damage done from earlier. I think it's nice to have some reasoning behind trades and make your own decisions - not let indicators or robots do it for you!

I've attached my latest results for March 2016. I found that there were various mistakes in my spreadsheet, so I've tried to correct them. While it was still a poor month this time round, I did improve. In January I lost around $600, February I halved that to about $300, and last month I made...

Don't worry about replying quickly, Raspy - i can wait. Thanks for the link to the pattern site. With AUDJPY, it's just not a trade i would have taken, but i did wonder where YOU put your SL.

Hi Raspy, i'd never heard of the Cup and Handle pattern so had to get a little education and look that one up. I gather it's the one that starts on 11/3? I wouldn't have picked that since the handle looks a bit indefinite to me. But so far so good. The small reversal bar at resistance made me...

Scratch this thread. I may have gone to pages in cache after I changed my time zone, since the times and dates are displaying fine now.

Hi Dale I noticed that the forum displays a posting date and time very different to mine. At first I thought it might be my individual time zone settings, so I changed that to +10 hours. That didn't work. So i'm guessing that the default forum time setting is for something other than +10...

But are you rich, yet? ;)

Hi M0ggie, here's to not blowing any more accounts! My progress here has been unremarkable and slow - i'm just trading on demo - although i seem to be making slight improvements.

Hi Raspy, it'll be interesting to hear about the patterns you find!

Hi Barry, interesting story and good luck to you!

A record of my February demo trading appears below. I added a few columns since January, as follows: COD means a TFG Chart of the Day. So if it shows 5, that means it's the 5th TFG Chart of the Day i've traded. CW = Chart of the Day Win. If it shows 2, that means i've had 2 COD wins. CWR means...
