2009.04.04 WHY 95% OF TRADERS LOSE
Moderator: moderators
This is a realy great thread. Seeing newbies like myself laying it out on the table. I share alot of your frustrations. I just got just got the book Trading in The Zone by Mark Douglas and the good news is that, according to Mark Douglas all great traders share a common trait, and that is that they start out with alot of frustration in the beginning. A few months ago I'd read these threads and was lost with all the forex lingo, now I understand alot more and can follow a thread and know how to load an indicator and what its telling me to do. So I guess at this stage the rest is mostly mental.

We are all part of a much larger picture and just think how boring/less profitable life would be without Us. (The 95%)
We are not droids, we are chimps and somebody had to take the time to train them....lol
I'm having BIG fun and given time will start making some pips in the process. Hey, some are slower than others. Just don't cut us any slack because we need it more than the rest (5%).
Cheers.

Procharge... the title is NOT original at all. I am not ranting. Yes, I pick on you only to make a trader out of you. Just ask 3Clipz. I picked on him. I almost banned him. He "got the message" and is now an admin in the chat room and, more importantly, draining the bank every day.
Like I have been telling you repeatedly, pick one method and one pair and stick with them until you master it. Quit method hopping and pair hopping.
The choice is yours - success or failure.
I'm sticking to that one method now TRO after a hideous week on live trading.

Are you trading real money right now? What is your trading experience and success record to date? In Never Lose Again, Mighty One talks about when and how to go about going live with real money. MO starts posting about page 130 or there abouts. Find his statement and consider following this man's advice. While you are looking, if I may suggest, open and only trade on a demo account, or if you must a micro. --Patch
