Googled Fibo Musang and the proper name for it is called Fox Fibo? XD

There are way too many resources out there, could you recommend the one you've learned from? drool.gif

Far easier to learn based on observation. Thanks for the info biggrin.gif

So sudden everyone wanted to learn Fibo Musang.  blush.gif

Not sure where to start off with since i ditch trading with indicators. laugh.gif

So with FIBO + Price Action Analysis (Pin Bar, engulfing, etc)

Would it be suffice?

Hi There Sifus,

Just wondering do you guys have any gathering for live trading or any discussion group?

I find it difficult to pin point my own mistakes, and perhaps i think i could better manage it if i could have observe on one's live trading. Its probably one of the best way for me other than seeking a mentor which is super rare thou.

Thanks.

Most here will not allow you to observe afraid that you would steal their strategies.

Well, tough luck then sad.gif

But i thought one's strategy might not work on another person based on one's trading style, so whats the fear of having people to "steal" them strategies?

If the strategy is mechanical you can copy 100% of the strategy.
Unless the strategy is subjective. However, subjective strategies rarely last long before becoming unprofitable.

Correct me if i'm wrong... by mechanical doesn't mean it has to be 100% technical Strategy reliance right?

One could only copy another's trading rules and indicators, but when it come to price action, trendlines analysis, these can be subjective to everyone..

Mechanical is 100% objective and no subjectivity.
If your interpretation of price action, trendlines and so on are subjective then it is doomed to fail sooner or later because every time you execute the trades you will use your own subjective judgment.

Well, come to think of it, it is quite true to a certain extend. IMO subjective judgment could be improve through trial and error in each trade and it will work well provided one had figure it out how it works.

So its better to beginners to start off with a trading system heavily reliance on indicators (Objective tools) then?

LMAO, this is not school year.  sweat.gif

Some prefer trading alone, some people prefer in group. You need to find who are willing to sit down, having cup of tea and trade.

It does not mean, you can't copy their trading style. The aim here is to be successful and gain profit together.  laugh.gif

In this case, anyone here who are interesting to get out to have sharing session or just have a drink or two tongue.gif

There are actually many free trading systems out there for copy, i've tried some posted in forex factory, but somehow i could not get a consistent result despite trading within the rules. There is a gap i need to fill up and i think it was due to my poor understanding certain areas which i don't even know where to focus on... Price action? Trendline? candlestick analysis? or i'd have to make use of all of them together??

you need:

1. timing, which means u need to know WHEN to trade and when to open trade. Some traders with many years still don't know this simple rule.

2. a real time screening, to tell u at anytime of WHICH pairS to focus.

3. from #2, you need to access your choices depending on timing and news data etc, and look at your risk profile, so at this point you start your TA FA analysis, check news etc and set tp and sl.

4. after order get filled, you have to manage your trade depending what it happens next.

5. then after trade closed, you regroup, review and look for next trade. Repeat from #1.

There is my main culprit, the timing!

It would probably help if one could tell clearly the indication for reversal, continuation, ranging, trending right?

If that is the case is there any effective way to improve on that aspect?

Tqvm for the valuable feedback biggrin.gif

Objective is better but I am not saying you could not make money with subjectivity (doubt its longevity).
So far I have found no method that is profitable using indicators only. You will need something extra like fundamentals, news, price action, order flow and so on.

couldnt agree more.. i think i have a better idea on where to focus at for now... thanks for the insight biggrin.gif
