Hello everybody,
I've been (day)trading forex for 15 years now trading only EURUSD in the last few years.
I had been profitable but far after 10,000 hours of screentime I must add.
Produced all mistakes in the publiion (and its cousins) and hopped from method to method. However, I never gave up, became more disciplined and eventually gained enough expertise it just had to get the job done.
The reason for this thread is twofold.
1. I believe it is interesting for myself to have some type of documentation of my method.
2. I encountered lots of BS in my eduion as a trader and would like to offer something different
Apart from transactions that I take and my view on the market there are things I shall discuss for certain:
- just how do markets really operate? How can our brain operate?
- Time, money management and emotional control.
- The energy of channels, volume, VWAP
- Interesting suggestions for implementation
- a few MT4 custom indiors I created
- etc..
You will notice while we move that I have a completely different view about the markets and trading than what's common. For example I do not believe in edges, data or profit targets. I believe in understanding the market. That is the sole edge.
This can become apparent while I move. I encourage individuals to ask questions and to give their own comments.
Ivo
