- Dabbled in Forex for a few years, but was never serious about it.
- Didn't have patience, kept jumping from one method to another.
- Went around in circles, kept losing or just below breakeven.
- A few times, I was profitable for a few months, but the market phase changed and I started losing again.
- I used to trade like this
- 50% technical indicators
- 30% price action
- 20% money management
- 0% fundamentals
- After avoiding fundamentals for so long, I decided to give it a go.
- Suddenly realized that fundamentals were a big part of trading, and everything started to click for me.
- Price charts started to make sense.
- Now, I trade like this
- 20% technical indicators
- 10% price action
- 30% money management
- 40% fundamentals
- I started this thread to keep myself publicly accountable for keeping trade records.
DECLARATION
I will either make it in Forex, or die trying.
WAR CRY
I live and die by the pips I capture and keep.
I do not take the market head on. That is suicide.
There is no honor and glory in what I do.
The market will show neither mercy nor sentiment.
Survival is key.
Preparation is everything.
