Yoyo, hi all here. Life on forex has not been an easy start. On paper trading i was doing alright trading in range bound markets but not long after i started real money brexit worsened and us china happened and i have been making losses since.

Would like to ask for reading recommendations and tips in general. Much appreciated.

how have you been trading? in terms of your trading style, usage of indicators etc

generally, the 'holy' grail to trading any instrument is to understand the Trend, Structure, Price Action via a Market Maker's point of view while indicators are just there to confirm your bias

key is to understand how Market Makers think and anticipate their moves, all those forex workshops, online courses and videos etc that retail traders say 'scam', lose money, more than 90% of traders lose money etc happened because most people trade the retail traders way instead of market makers way

i do have the resources on my previous laptop before it died, let me try to find them online again...

FOMC (Jun 2019)


FOMC day. Are you ready to huat? :D

NO STOP LOSS still in play even though heavy unrealised losses.

Besides boasting about own trades what did act blur hao lian trader contributed? KNN can only talk big about buy at this and that level. Who cannot?

Realised or unrealised loss and position size also don't dare to reveal. Maybe he trade 0.01 lot but talk damn gungho macam Goldman Sachs trader. Risk management is very different depend how big you play.

I would like to gentle remind all readers again that there are many snake oil salesmen on this forum masquerading as experts to entrap unsuspecting folks with their scams. :vijayadmin:

Black race car snake oil salesman MIA? :s13:

uncle draghi open mouth and Euro dumps :D

had plans to short EurAud but boat left :s22:

It is amazing, even though everyone knows Draghi's reputation, every single time, he manages to surprise markets. Yesterday he managed to pump all asset classes just promising unlimited stimulus. Like, people didn't know before he has been saying the same thing since 2012.

After Yellen jie jie left the scene, Mario bro is my new God Of Fortune. Every time he comes out to talk the EUR surely tank. But really miss those days when Yellen jie jie was Fed chairman. Really scalp up and down until siao because her words was very deep so traders can be confused at times! :s13:

Unfortunately Mario bro will leave ECB very soon. No replacement for a new God Of Fortune. Powell is really buay kan just like those snake oil salesmen! Although Trump is a mad man but I 100% agree with him that USD is TOO STRONG and Powell has a very thick skull! :s8:

NTUC plastic bag is a very accurate market indicator -

Look at C family

He used it as diaper :s13::s13::s13:

Always remember Trump and Powell are friend, period.

Please check history of FED how it started, this is MM headquarter.

BTW please MR C, 20 years trading experience sitting in thousand of unrealized loss and constantly top up your account in exchange for KFC, you're pathetic, really pathetic. :s13:

Some snake oil salemen out there can make a good living conning people than your 20 years trading experience.

Please humble yourself to learn. I'm not here to humiliate you I want you to be successful. I want you to seriously empty your mind of all filthy words and to focus on positive energy and trading.

Many times when traders throw number here, sometimes I told them to be careful. There was this guy something like Hairytitaniumball - I caution him that EURUSD will touch 105.xxx. He insulted me. Raynor a trend trader, I told him careful but he stick his gun and took the loss. Happymilk a newbie in forex followed blindly to the honest guru here and was wondering should he cut loss. I saw his position and told him he was saved.Many others. Not boasting, none of my post is deleted or edited to suit me.

Take out any H4 chart, look at all the swings.

Ask this question - Why did price stop and swing from there?

I guess you're like me clueless as to why and when price might stop and reverse to form the swing.

Now may I suggest you place line on all the swings and scroll the chart to the LEFT. Can you see almost all the swings connect to a previous price.
The level I posted, have a reference point, I don't pluck it from thin air.

We are told by guru that M1 is full of noise. It is tiring to stare at M1 to trade.

May I humbly suggest that beside those lines you draw on the HTF (H4, D1),
M1 is the most important key for trading Forex.

We only look at M1 when price is near those HTF line. Here in M1 you will see all the action of stop hunt. You will see spike, extreme candle formed. This is when I will put a buy/sell limit above/below those lines.

Sometime I might even pull the trigger and the top/bottom of the spike.

Always be ready to know how much you're willing to give market if the trade go against you.

Never, never, never trade during news, Forever, forever, forever place a stop loss or mental stop loss.

The second links I posted on 7 june talk about a very good strategy which I don't really followed. BUT there is one particular way an indicator was used that clicked everything together. For this you do your homework.

Trading is that simple. But we are sold to the idea of MA cross, overbought oversold, etc, etc

In fact may I suggest that when you connect all the (HTF) lines to the reference points. Open the M1 chart you will see some interesting PA (price action).

And if you bother to look at my simple M1 chart posted on 2 June, there is the truth nothing but the truth.

If you cannot see anything that enlighten you and if you still think WHO CANNOT, I have nothing more to add.

Adios, this will be my last departing post in this forum for good. Happy trading.:)

I hope someone who saw the light can continue to contribute to the community. :)
