[B]EDIT:[/B][B]Why are you giving your money away to brokers by following systems that are bound to fail? Why follow all kind of theories, systems and indicators that you have no idea what they do? You ignore excellent systems given to you on platter, you ignore money making theories and golden pieces of information given to you for free just because it takes more 5 minutes to understand? TRADING IS NOT FOR EVERYONE! TRADING IS NOT EASY IF YOU WANT TO WAKE UP RICH TOMORROW BY INVESTING $50!

Hello everyone,
I am thinking of helping the traders that are struggling to make profits from this FOREX jungle.
I will give some information that I gathered through very hard work since I started trading and learning forex. Those that are serious about trading, and want to learn something useful for their trading and perhaps how to make a living trading, will be more than welcomed here on this thread.
Probably, I will make some āpeopleā nervous after posting some of my trades and live videos, but you should hope that this thread will remain alive long enough for you to learn something good.
You probably heard that forex is manipulated or is a rigged game. Well, in my opinion. after having accounts opened with a lot of brokers around the world (until I found a very serious and reliable one - wonāt disclose any names because Iām not here to advertise anybody), I understand that retail traders, as you and me, no matter the size of the account, cannot influence the market. (in this thread we will be talking exclusively about forex)
On the other hand, the market can be āmanipulatedā (maybe is a strong word) by something so simple, that most of you probably recognize: hunting stop losses, increasing spreads and not filling orders.
This can be resolved by finding a suitable broker (do your research on google). With this, letās move on to our matter at hand.
First of all, I want to say a little bit about myself, and of course, if those that will read this thread feel like it, I will gladly read a little bit about you also.
I have been trading forex for some years now. I have read some books (quite a few but not so many ).
I have tried probably āevery indicator known to manā :).
I have lost several accounts and a lot of money. This was a few years back.
I then stopped and looked around. A genius once said : one cannot expect different results by doing the same action! (maybe not a quote but you get the idea)
I finally managed to get to where I am now (you will see later in this thread pictures and live videos of my trading).
My system (which has no name obviously and I like it like this) can be traded from 1 minute to weekly charts. I use it usually on M1, M5, M15 charts. I started as a scalper and now Iām somewhere between scalping and intraday trading.
I have very low draw down and small stop loss (which is what I was after from day one).
I usually trade EURUSD and GBPUSD. I always use SL! I always watch my trades! I never take an open trade to the next day!

So, not having time (yet) to figure out the image thing (enlarging) - but taking into consideration the advice given by jalapenofan - I will continue this thread and additional images of trades and live videos will come the next few days.
In trading I consider that we do not have to reinvent the wheel or to discover the theory of relativity
There are some people (smart people) before us that traded with great succes, some even becoming millionaires in a very short time, which definitely had some sort of āsecretā, though secret is a very harsh word. I believe that there are secrets in every domain, specially where money are involved, but I also believe that is in our reach to discover those secrets sooner or later. This only depends on our imagination, creativity, IQ, determination and maybe a little bit of luck.
Moving on - there are infinite ways to trade profitable: some trade with naked charts reading price action, some use indicators, some use fundamentals. I donāt think fundamentals are reliable for a successful trading (by this I mean very profitable and constant over long term - years) but I have some friends that manage to do it most of the time - I call this gambling .
The other two methods (reading price action and indicator trading) I believe they are true as I am doing that. I do prefer to use a couple of indicators though which are not perfect in nature as they do not take every up or down move of the market, but they give me more than enough and most of important of all, they keep my draw down very low (under 10 pips) and they keep me out of bad trades most of the time - giving a very high winning percentage.
I wasnāt very good at math in high school but I believe in mathematics and the fact that is all around us .
I havenāt discovered a secret formula, thus no secret indicator! Not even close, but I went back to the roots and the initial created purpose of some ā¦

The Edit in red at the start of the post was put there today, friday, 19th of december by me, the starter of this thread!
Why you might ask yourselves?! Because when you try to do a nice thing for someone you are repaid with ****! My time is valuable as it is for each and every one of you! I believe that money are not the most important thing in life even if they mean a lot these days. I have been broke, I have been reading and learning but I never did wrong to someone that helped me even a little.
