Of course individuals might need to redefine certain elements to suit themselves but the key elements of trading price action, identifying a trend and only trade with it and having a set of usable tools are all there and all you then have to do is add careful money management. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that most would be traders fail as they think a collection of whizz bang indicators is going to make them a million bucks but I am sorry guys I dont think that is so and if you think about it even for a few seconds you will realise why it cant be. Thanks Raging Bull I certainly appreciate the post and if as you go along you can post up some screenshots of trades you have taken that would be great
Addit: Raging Bull is making money from this. In my view anyone that is having success and is prepared to share how is worth listening to

The problem is that the key elements in trading price action are not very clear in forex. Stocks and even futures have much smoother price action. There is often no rhyme or reason why a certain currency pair rises and falls. This market changes its pace very quickly and it's difficult to turn a profit on a consistent basis. So when a person starts saying "hey, just follow the price action" you have to ask how and why. Plus, even if you follow that type of trading style, you still need to have a set of hard and fast rules that you follow. Otherwise you will eventually get eaten alive.
It's much easier said than done.
