Think Out The Box

It’s been a while since I’ve posted something in here. Like many of you I have started losing money, BIG money. At the time it hurt like hell, today is just a distant memory. 6 years into this crazy madness but being able to make money only for the last three.

Many times I had the ‘a-ha’ inspiration thinking I’ve finally nailed it but ultimately losing money at the end while bragging about my genious out there in the market.

One final day I said ENOUGH!!!, not in the JLO way :8: but enough… I was not losing big but I was makingno money at all. I’ve decided that I have tried almost every indicator available on MT4 and started to think maybe I have a vast experience in what does not work.

Maybe when GDP grows it might not mean good for economy or good for the currency, it might just mean that, a GDP growth, the rest is just supersticious BS-

And so I’ve decided to look for the same data as you do but with my own theory wich in simple terms what it means is: when you look at the crats you look something that might look like something but when I look at the chart what I see is a bunch of suckers looking at the chart.

So trading became like th chase for Bin Laden to me. Using indirect data and try to find out where the crowd is wrong and bet against it. And that’s it. Nowadays it is just that simple. Now I can make 30% annualy and it became boring, yeah… you have to get used to that too.

Nice to see you back in our forums! Believe me, I do know how you feel… Making a lot of analysis both in technicals and fundamentals then seeing an unexpected or inexplicable reaction from the markets. I’ve also found that in these cases, it does make a lot of sense to just follow how the crowds react, especially from a short-term trading perspective. Hope it’s treating you better these days!
