By mere accident (as I did) or link to link to link and blam your in pre school and getting such great information that you have solid foundation with which to get started. Hell I went through the preschool and learned alot of different things I didn't apply in my trading for 10 years.

Yep; God willing that every forex newbie would make their way here before they are taken in by the hype somewhere else.

4) Why cant people just say well done for once?
Come on people we are all in the same boat. At least i thought.  |
Andy,
I wasn't directing my post at yours - in fact, I didn't see your thread about 1200 pips in one day until after I wrote my post - I was simply responding to jsese. And I wouldn't presume to accuse you of ego-serving claims; but with your experience as a stock trader, you are probably aware of to what I'm referring. If you can make 1200 pips in one day and not give it all back but continue to build on it, my hat's off to you.
One thing you might consider is issuing a caveat when posting such a successful day (that would get anyone excited) is that 1) 1200 pips is not representative of what happens every day or even most days, and 2) that trade and money management are very important skills to attain. There are some general trade management rules that seem to be represented on your screenshots; but keep in mind those who are unfamiliar with all of that will have a very difficult time understanding what safeguards you seem to have had in place (assuming there; I didn't look to closely) on your trades.
