I do not understand why you post IMAGES of the account on the MFB which is about publishing the account...
I prefer a static image as opposed to a link to my Real account, since a snapshot will not change and better illustrates my point: forex can make you 'rich' ('rich' is very subjective though).
My point is why to share just couple of profitable trades
instead of seeing all stats like profit vs. dd etc...
Showing just couple of great trades is IMHO useless and not proving anything.

Question remains the same
why did you delete the account from MFB and just share images?

Very nice demo result
Demo trading won't make you rich. My account is real.
Very funny!! A very good point. Demo traders love to criticize other peoples account but when you are trading for real, that is when it matters and everything changes

Correct. The market can only be 50% up or 50% down - that is better odds than the casino, sports betting or horses! And then you can improve your odds by looking at:
- Long-Term Support / Resistance levels
- Long-Term Overbought / Oversold
- 4H, Daily, Weekly charts
- favoring positive Swaps
- having PATIENCE to hold trades for a week or longer
The big money is to be made on the higher timeframes. PATIENCE is probably more important than any other skill required. That means in today's society with on-demand and instant gratification, many people suffer a lack of this.

lol 😀 Forex is a means to an end: like business, or like an investment. It is a tool, that if used correctly one can make themself rich. If used incorrectly, one can suffer penury.
You are correct. 😎

I made money overnight on EURTRY, but I was coerced by my broker to close half my positions yesterday so I didn't make as much.
I had 670 Lots open and reduced it to 200 Lots to keep my account leverage at 500:1.
Even a good broker must protect itself - but I knew it was going down... eventually.
Sad to miss this profit... $1 million loss?? 😭

Point of this thread: to answer the universal question 'can forex make you rich?'
Showing just a couple of great trades can prove this. It has value to others (perhaps not you).
I am proving to all that I made myself 'rich' (subjective) after many losses, and it is possible and took very little time. 😎

Motivate or de motive is not issue, mate! Here, more than 90% traders are unable to make money; that’s the real scenario actually.

Unable... yet. Only a question of:
- strategy employed
- broker used
- person's perseverance
Possible for all.

...Showing just a couple of great trades can prove this...
Nope. Showing couple of great trades does mean nothing. It can even mean you actually lost much more on other trades.

I thought you supported the fact forex can make a person rich? You often cite yourself as an example!
Perhaps I was mistaken and you are another disbeliever?
As I have responded to others earlier, I say the same again to you:

Some people I work with say the same thing. For people like you, I suspect nothing could make you believe it is real - unless perhaps I paid off your house or gave it to you. I guess you are as jealous as you are forlorned at missing this oppotunity. Do not despair, if you believe and keep trying, you can succeed also. There will always be another opportunity. I wish you well.
But I might add: Yes, at times even I find it difficult to believe I have recovered all my losses of ten years ($500K+), plus more within less than two months!

That’s absolutely true; here trader’s trading skill is the key! Which traders have a good trading skill; they can make handsome money smoothly. On the other hand, which traders are unable to do so I mean good trading skill, they suffer a lot in their live trading.

I'm focusing on the thread:
Gain:+44.35%
Abs. Gain:+79.42%
Daily: 3.11%
Monthly: 44.35%
Drawdown: 3.19%
Great that drawdown is still kept at below 5%.
As the equity continue to grow, there is no intention to increase initial lot size 0.01 for both pairs (for time being). Hence, i expect drawdown to maintain at this level. Result: gradually reduce risk exposure.
My Target: to withdraw USD100k from USD1K... and here i come (still long way to wait...)

Hi Matt
How did you make all the money back? Do you use an EA? Wow really wild swings on your trading but that makes it so exciting! 😲

Nope. I have made all my losses back plus more.
800% two months in a row, 600% Abs. Gain. Are you confused now? You just need to know I have earned my losses back.

800% in only 2 months? How it’s possible? Did you follow the same risk reward ratio? Or you had an additional plan on this?
