Maybe you have the Holly Grail...

Recommended Posts

Have you ever thought that maybe you already have the "Holly Grail " ?

 

Yes ¡¡¡ maybe you have it ¡¡ only that you dont apreciate it...

 

Trading starts with an argument... you have an argument you studied a lot and you test it and even you get to trade it...

 

Now like any argument it sometimes will work and sometimes not.... when it works you are so happy to have this argument on your trading plan, when it doesnt... mmmmm the exodus starts... you say: maybe I need a new argument.... and you study, you test it and even you get to trade it... until It fails.... oh NO¡¡¡¡ and you start to look for another argument an so on the cycle keeps going on.... you are looking for the Holly Grail.... that it doesnt have any stop or very few, maybe that famous 70% performance....

 

You see all arguments will have a percentage of failure... so the failure now its not the argument it self but the failure may be yourself in keep seeking for that perfect argument...

 

The Holly Grail I would describe it as an argument I trade over and over and over again, feeling confortable with it, its adjusted to my personality, it has good and bad trades but from a RRR it keeps performing positive on the long run.... thats the Holly Grail.... maybe you have it and dont apreciate it..

 

If you still dont have it, well here on this site you will find lots of very decent setups and strategies that will perform so well ( without to pay any penny to anybody who says they got the holly grail) if you have the correct actitude and understand that the eternal research for the Holly Grail is the worst failure a trader can ever make...

 

Looking and looking and looking for that HG is a deteriorating process, it will make you feel miserable, so many hours, so many times you dont spend with your family, lost great moments of life on this greede and futil research...

 

A very stupid and idiotic setup its enough to make you wealthy my friend, BUT the devil works its ways to make you look for the HG and never trade so good and so simple efective setups...

 

Will you be an eternal student ? or will you be a trader after all ?

 

As I mentioned on a previos thread , the only thing you need to succeed is :

 

_ ONE good setup ( that you feel confortable, and has good RRR )

 

_ Discipline ( stick to your setup, dont be a fool )

 

_ Trade, make money ( when your account grows every week with real money, the more disciplined you get, the more serious you get about your set up )

 

_ Enjoy Trading ( trading has to be a pleasant experience, enjoy it, have some soft beat back music while you trade, think how priviledged you are to have this profession, make so good money on the confort of your studio )

 

_ Reward yourself ( Buy a new car, take a trip, buy a new home cinema, maybe help others and do charity, say to your self, this was financed with my Holly Grail ¡¡¡)

 

 

And for last remember that collaboration (at TL) also makes you feel good as you give and receive...

 

 

cheers Walter.

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.

    • What a wild year.   AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.   Okay, but what about the $money stuff?   Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.   Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.   It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.   However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.   Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.   How about you? How did you go?
