Very true. What I say may not have worked for me, but maybe you could pull it off with success.I actually tried that... went through a bunch of online trading tutorials and followed what they said I should do and should not do, it didn't go well. I decided to try trading with an opposite view... let me see how it goes if I go against what they say (not using stops, not sticking to 2%, etc.) and I achieved my first profitable withdrawal. As time has gone by I have tried different approaches, some successfully, others utter disaster, and so you learn what works for you as an individual.My ad...

Should Newbies turn to signal providers rather than trading themselves? em Novos Negociantes Mar 08, 2017 at 11:43

I noticed this as well, very gullible (stupid) people out there. A guy posted his "history", something like 8 trades, made an average of a few dollars per trade (with some losses) and all from a one day result set... and people are cheering him on about his superb "achievement". In my view a load of rubbish. I worked out that if he continues at that rate without any issues (and other traders here will vouch for me that a year never is "issue free") he will reach $100,000.00's in approximately 30 years (with no withdrawals).

Trader Compensation em Novos Negociantes Feb 07, 2017 at 10:06

Some pay X amount per round lot traded, subscription, % of spread, fixed cost per follower or combination of methods (eg. % of subscription + amount per lot). As hedgescalp says, it depends. Just read the terms of the system you choose, the information is usually contained within. Look out for catches too, like payment only made after X lots traded, minimum followers required before payment is activated, etc.

Slow wins the race, got a little too ambitious, thought it would work... guess not 😁. Just another addition to my list of "Don't do these again, no really, dont!" 🙄

If it doesn't you risk spontaneous combustion! 😲 Which ironically happened to me last night (@mlawson - that's like 17 or 18th bust now in 6 years 😳) - Note to self (again!): don't change your strategy if it's been working for over 6 months! 😡As to my emotion (pertinent to the thread) - Ah bugger!, ok, refund, let's go! (no emotion... been doing this too long for that) 😁

Trading Trump em Geral Jan 30, 2017 at 15:02

All markets are a cycle regardless, I think it has more to do with world macro economics than any single president. There literally is nothing a president can do or say that would cause a 7 year trend, the time frame is long and the factors that drive such a trend are too many.

If that happens, best to stop trading and seek medical attention immediately, or at least have an extinguisher within reach! 😁

US Elections em Geral Jan 27, 2017 at 11:01

Please consider this thread closed, continuation on this at "Trading Trump". "US Election" is concluded and no longer relevant to the discussion. Thank you to everyone that contributed.

Trading Trump em Geral Jan 27, 2017 at 10:58

New thread to discuss trading based on USA President Trump and the impact of the USD on markets. This is meant to replace the "US Election" thread that has concluded.Please remain objective. Highlight the facts, call out the falsehoods. Many traders here are not from the US and have no interest in personal political views. The market moves on facts and remains independent, having a one sided view will not help traders beat the market.

What the heck was that?

Only been his first day so far, I think the market will wait for actual implementation of policy.Signing executive orders aren't really a big deal until they are used, and all policy changes are still in process (not officially implemented yet). Democrats still appear to be running an invisible election campaign which, other than provide news noise to sift through, aren't moving markets either, as well as protests fueled by ancient false narratives [which is at least amusing - first time I have ever seen protests to get rights already provided 😁].

BREXIT won't happen until 2019. em Geral Jan 23, 2017 at 09:11

You can do that if you are comfortable. I favor direction with positive swaps because I hold over longer periods.Question you should be asking is 'do I want to open a long position because I'm confident it will remain bullish and in my favor?' or 'do I want to go long because it looks as if it's trending upward?'Take into consideration the probability of a correction... if it's a correction and not a trend change, you will be in a bad position (long with opposite trend + negative swap). Daily charts are still showing a trend to the down side (I take that into consid...

As long as there is uncertainty I remain bearish, bolstered by a positive swap I consider it my best strategy. It might go up, and keep doing so through the article 50 and I can ride it out knowing that every night I get some extra breathing room and can cover with other pairs.I had the same thought as you on TRY and MXN (sort of, as the trend was bullish)... started adding long positions to cover my negative short positions, now it's running sideways and swap rats on my longs started eating into my positions... time to close the long positions as time of uncertainty reared it's head. ...

Either because their signals are trash and that's actually how they make money or they make enough money from good trading and provide signals as an additional income.Also note the cost of the signals are not proportionate to how good they are, there are excellent traders out there that provide free signals as a philanthropic alternative to giving away money, others will provide very low cost signals to boost their capital, but signals are not the core model of their income, trading or fund management is.An ideal signal provider should have investments, trading or portfolio management (fun...

Yes, I'm still short on all GBP pairs.

BREXIT won't happen until 2019. em Geral Jan 17, 2017 at 14:42

At least I have swaps on my side, so regardless, as long as my margins hold I can ride this all the way to the end... I'm now just a sitting duck waiting to see where the current will take me.I agree, this is not article 50 yet, so pure speculation.Good luck with your positions 😄

Did not go 100% as planned yet, but I'm still in the game... gratz to the bulls if you made a buck! 😁 My hedge is doing nothing, just parking there catching some zzz's on the beach... move darnit!

BREXIT won't happen until 2019. em Geral Jan 17, 2017 at 08:04

Anyone want to take a jab and predict what Theresa May will say?I am short GBP (USD, AUD & NZD pairs), I will still be short in my long term view for the future transition periods regardless of the outcome today. Concern will be focused on the amount of volatility as priority over direction in the short term. Hedging with EUR.

I think I'm on my 12th or 13th over 6 years (if not more) 😀Each one has a valuable lesson learned and shows that one should never give up, but also be realistic about what capital you use to fund your accounts. If you have $1300 available, fund with only $100, don't start with a $1300 account.
