I am not here to toot my own horn, or give away trades, but I do give some away to spark interest :Þ
the trend is a lie propigated by the banks/LPs/MMs. the nature of the markets is to return to equilibrium no matter what lies anyone tells you, or what you imagine. And the trend is not your friend! UNLESS you get in at the reversal where the trend starts 
for example I showed you here GBP/USD likely direction yesterday, yeah we had to enter a few pips down from 141.50 but no one missed it that I know :L) we already sqrd up as well.
But forget that HEH its too late to get short now, I am laughing to the bank everyday Charlie
and just so we are clear, LUCK exists no where but your MIND, not in the world does it exist, not in trading! there is also no such thing as an accident, just because you are unable to see the cause that preceeded the effect doesnt mean it was random or BAD LUCK.
The greater the skills are that you have in forex trading the easier it will be to make steady money. Forex trading is all about skill, there is no LUCK. Forex for me is very much like chess.
Thanks again, Elijah: your insight is matched only by your modesty.

In my first live account I learned that one the hard way and lost $50,000 US :>( A demo will help you to build a strategy and tweak a trade plan. As you said which is one thing new traders sometimes have a hard time understanding that there are no secret, never been done before, be the first strategies out there. Trading strategies have been tried from every different angle. Unfortunately a demo can not give you the experience of loss. To find your risk tolerance you have to trade a live account. My suggestion is deposit a little more than you can afford to lose so you really experience the pressure and the feel of the sting
Gp

Luck can favor you once or twice or thrice but not always. But skill is an assets for trader. Which helps a trader to overcome all difficult surface. One thing you have to keep in mind that forex is a business and it is pure legitimate business. It is not gambling that luck will save you all the time. To get profit trader should apply different trading strategies according to the market situation. Which is not possible without skill.

It is important not to complicate your thing because things that look more advanced isn’t always the best option. I prefer to use some indicators and technical analysis.
Please don’t be driven by such extreme cases of success which is certainly not, plain skill or even luck. If you think carefully, probably you would have also experience such a gut feeling. However, everyone is not gifted with such a strong gut feeling which works all the time. So, focus on developing your skill believing in a bit of luck.
Honestly speaking , I don’t think so there is any indicator or technical analysis that works for all time . I have passes many times to make sure good indicator by good fx Mentor but now I can realize its all about temporary not permanently at all.
People often read the success stories of others and try to examine their luck but they do not know the hard work, practice and devotion behind that success. Yes I believe in luck but it does not favor everyone. I would say believe in hard work not good luck.
Sorry to say friends, in order to me, your message looks like as a motivational speech.
