@NGAATU...with all due respect,the net has bridged alot of in terms of education. Going on a demo account for at least 4 months will greatly provide one with the necessary skills and information on forex trading. Fleecing people in the name of giving them classes on forex trading is one path i do not encourage.

I went through babypips.com before i started trading. That is where i received my education on forex trading. Coupled with a demo account for 5 months,i was able to start earning a living in forex trading. If i can do that,what makes other minds of inferior quality that i have to TEACH them forex trading @ ridiculous fees?

Anyone wanting to learn about the forex market can do so absolutely free at www.babypips.com...if someone feels that they need to complement that knowledge,they can always visit one of the so called forex colleges but at least they will be doing so as a matter of informed choice.

That good explanation regarding the way to cushion the risk of breaking down.But as you said with your example of taking the long postions,with an effect to (+245,-215)you will have safeguarded yourself with a small thing which will give you an adavntage in the next postion(i think i am explaining correct).The thing is the strenghth of the correlations,how does it do if the strenght of the USD/CHF is strong than the rallying of EUR/USD!obvious there will be difference in your profits.Though you wont experience big losses or loss you may still experience small profits at that instance. So during normal timings you may end up reaping profits but varies also.

Ngaatu and Toni,

Me I am a serious believer in having a trading plan. A system is just having a trading plan and sticking to it. You can do this manually or in automation.

This maneno of someone having experience and skill in FX is true but the risks are just too high. At least for me. My personal feel is that I would never let anybody trade my account on a discretionary basis. But that is just me. And I encourage everybody else to be more adventurous.

I've met over 400 experts in FX who profess their experience.

Ebu just ask them to show you their account statements! Heh,it is like asking them to sell you their mother!

If you persist and threaten and the finally do see these statements,you just collapse out of sheer shock and have some crazy seizure.

Whenever someone says he is an expert,ALWAYS ASK FOR THE ACCOUNT STATEMENT. Every time. Without fail.

So for me,with all possible respect to professional FX traders,my money stays with a clear pre-explained mathematical system of trading. I know exactly why and when a trade is being taken because the math says so.

As Xnjambi says - ikienda mbaya,I know why and we can examine the mathematics again in a very open fashion. Once that is done,we rectify.

Low stress. I do not need to trust someone's experience. Especially someone who is mortal,can get sick,can get mad,can get bored,can get excited,can change careers,can quit trading and not transfer his skills.

FX is risky enough. I cannot risk more on someone's discretion - especially my own.

I do not understand this question,please rephrase so that I can answer properly:

Its true one can learn alot from the net (my techs I learnt from the net),but it may take a while for someone to fully grasp everything. But if someone has alot of interest,and dedication,one can make it. But the college fees that you save,you MAY endup paying some of it to the market by way of learning mistakes. But this is allowed. Or one may go to college and learn in a short while,but still have to learn (practice) abit on their own before hitting it live. Take 3-5 months of demo practice.

But the best teachers would be experience and learning from others.

We can start by posting afew lessons/tricks here for the newbies (am not saying am experienced)

Seems like another round of EUR/USD selling on NY session...A stong trend is forming on the ADX on the hourly chart. 30 pips so far.

Lousy data off Canada but Oil should drive the USD/CAD pair. So far USD positive

@Tony

1.5080s resistance still remains...if it knocks it off,a break away should follow...that will be my cue.

Until then i will still short the pair

I think,various systems work different ways for different individuals...did 500pips on EUR/USD pair from Tokyo session and i should do some more pips on it again in the NY session...

I always suggest one should come up with their own trading strategy. Tailor make it if you can.
