Hello, I am new to the forex and have been researching different technical methods. My main focus as of late has been the Gann fan. There seems to be a lot of info on how to use this tool correctly such as chart scale master time factor and different ratios given the market. Some of the examples I have seen regarding 45 degree lines etc. do not look like 45 degrees. If anyone can help with this topic, it would be much appreciated. Thx:)

beware... another vendor !

 

How did I become a vendor and how did I get an ad in my post? I would suppose a guy who makes blanket statements could answer both questions with ease. BTW, I did NOT put the ad in my post and in fact don't even know how to put anything other than a smiley face in a post. Oh, I do know how to be a vendor though. Geesh...

 

Thank you,

 

Tom

Hi there. I've been with TL for about a year, and just now found your forum. Haven't been an active trader for long, though; cash flow problems. (economic downturn, cutbacks at work, emergencies, home repairs, you know... Life :doh:) Hope to find info re: growing a small investment account with more than just savings, maybe ways to make my RSP function better. (FYI: "RSP" is Canadian for "IRA") Chat with you soon.

Hello everyone,

 

I happened to stumble on this forum and I think this is an awesome forum with alot of shared experiences.

 

I am from Singapore, work as equity dealer and trade binaries primarily.

 

I *think* I know how to trade, however i have very very bad money management. In my recent history, I have turned $300 into $10,000 in a matter on 30 working days, and i have also more in a single trading day.

 

I would like to gain a mentor of sort so as to refine and sharpen my skills. Cheers.

Hi All,

I am new to TL, hope you all had a Crackin Chrissy! Thinking of starting to trade fx. I have produced some great results trading securities on paper/demo and would like to transfer my skills, mainly mechanical methods of trading to the fx market. There is one thing i just can`t grasp with Fx and i hope an understanding TL member could possibly clear this up. Please excuse me if this is a stupid question! With Fx i dont understand how you can go long on a currency pair if you don`t have the counter currency to buy the base currency? e.g how can i go long on a AUD/CAD if my Fx accounts base currency is AUD. To me it makes sense that i could only short this pair!? Am i right to think this?? I really can`t grasp the whole concept, any help would greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

I am M.Ahmed.

 

Found this forum through google. I liked the way it is designed.

 

I am an experienced trader of Forex and binary options. I started Forex trading in 2007 and binary options in the start of 2011. Forex trading results were horrible in the first year. I started to break-even in 2nd year of my trading.

 

I do not believe in "6-figure in a year" type EAs or systems in Forex. I do not believe in "Holy Grails" in Forex.

 

With all my experience and my knowledge, I consider forex an investment opportunity where YOU define ur risk and market defines ur return.

 

I will surely participate here to learn more about trading and to deliver what I have learned from my experience.

       Bitcoin Always Knows

      By analyst75 · Posted

      Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows.   Bitcoin always knows.   Here’s the thing…   When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued.   It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars.   After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger.   Much bigger.   Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%.   Again, few are talking about it.   But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets.   Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market.   That's it.” – Chris Campbell   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

      How can I compete with people who are better than I am in every way?

      By analyst75 · Posted

      Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
