just woke up. Glad I missed all the drama.

Now is time to trade for real lol.

Looking for a chance to long eurusd and gbpusd. Right now all the retailers probably bought in at the high.

I'd say let price drop a little first then I'll buy.

It's almost time to buy eurusd. Question is do it now or monday.

I'm starting my grid to buy. Will keep adding until 1.1100. An hourly close below that means long is invalid.

what's the average/median?

Didn't mention. I guess I could calculate it but I'm too lazy lol.

Top 20 funds averaging about 35%.
Bottom 20 funds averaging about -15%

This year you made anything more than 28% you're considered in top 20 fund manager.
If you lose more than 7%, you're in the bottom 20.

For the most accurate answer, plz go call your bank's remittance officer.

I know for a fact if the company is blacklisted in bnm's database, no matter what they won't let you transfer money with that source. If you transfer using other source like bigpay etc, you cannot receive back to our banking system.

But for example if you say you trade with oanda, tdameritrade, interactive broker, no problem.

You must always remember, forex is an inseparable part of the finance system. There cannot be such thing as forex is illegal. Otherwise your banking and financial system will not work. But because of ignorant people, who can't even differentiate what is a pyramid scheme vs real forex trading, bnm has decided to simply blanket ban all "forex" trading.

Trade with a reputable broker. Even if it is more difficult to open an account, or the fees are more expensive, it is ok. Best of all is to trade those multi instrument brokers like tdameritrade and interactive brokers.

Trading for profit is already  difficult for many  , why are there still people who wants to be burden with withdrawal uncertainties
Anyone you or other forummers here heard of  whoever that have made a reasonably good  living from trading forex in this  forum entire history.

Some testimonial would be inspiring and helpful.

Don't diss on other people's bowl of rice. Just because forex doesn't work out for you dones't mean it is true for other people.

I've traded bonds equity commodity options and forex. I just happen to like forex more than the other instruments. Doesn't mean I solely trade forex only as well.

And obviously there are some who do make a living trading forex. Like me for example. Although I can't say it's purely forex only.

Long story short, there is nothing wrong trading forex. All the issues with withdrawal and banking is caused by bnm who's trying to protect uninformed public. But I dislike it because the longer the public is uninformed, the longer the stigma on forex trading.

I am saying for the big majority.
You are the few exception.Your statement on happen to like forex is a big added advantage to you.

Ive been observing and trading small for a good number of years. Of course , there are ways to make and lose money from forex as in all other type of investments.

Been considering to launch full time. Would really appreciate if you could share some experience.

Knowing now that you are already a full time investor and certainly must have faced obstacles before being successful.
What and which sets of skills are required on becoming a good trader and how to develop them , before venturing to full time  ?
Thanks in advance.
*
your question is too broad. I cannot answer that properly without typing an essay.
Plz narrow down.

A half assed answer:
You need consistency. And sufficient funds.
If your funds are too small, then it becomes hard to make a decent amount. If your trading strategy is buy and hold for 1 year, you also won't make it - unless you start with 100k usd. Then maybe at the end of the year if you make 20% profit, you can still cover your year expenses.

You must make enough on a consistent enough basis to justify trading full time.

It is still some answers from you. I am not expecting obligation.
From my knowledge , a trader first need to develop a workable trading method of a consistent correct  market analysis and fund/risk management. In that order.

Where to put stop loss is currently a obstacle .
*
You aren't wrong. You need to work towards consistency. Not necessarily every month consistent. But at least every quarter consistent.

What strategy are you trading currently? Indicator based trend following?

A mix of both fundamental and technical (support and resistance). Sometimes , i mix them up for 30min , 1 hr ,4hr or even weekly. . Want to move away from this and concentrate on S&R.
Prefer to be swing trader or short to medium term , less time monitoring and higher rewards too. Learning to be a contrarian.

If you're trading based off s/r how are you having trouble with stoploss?

Just put your stop slightly further than the s/r

Good on ya to remind me on this.

As per my last post , i have done too much mixing. Trying to be clever and ends up confused. Most of the times , the fear of being wrong overrides the fear of making losses although losses have been factor in. Silly me.
Knew the theories already and market analysis is correct  but implementation is rather poor. Or may have not develop full confidence on my own methods.
*
All I can say at this point is good luck.

Bonus advice for you. Hopefully it helps:
1)Buy at support, sell at resistance is a universal rule that works all the time, every time. It is forever true and will never change no matter how much time passes.
2)Your edge only tells you what direction you should be trading in - either buy, sell or do nothing. It has no relation to the above advice.

Example:
If your strategy tells you to sell, but you're about sell into support, don't do it because of rule (1). You should still look for a chance to sell. Just don't sell into support.

Hope that will enlighten you. This took me almost 10 years to figure out.

Since I started trading since 6 years ago, went through price action and now mainly applying Fibo Musang etc, still find it hard to maintain consistency, which makes me start to wonder, is there really anyone succeeded on forex trading?
For me the more I do back test with forex tester, the more I feel no matter what winning rate and RR ratio, it will just doesn't add up for a winning result in long run, plus all the trading cost like spreads, commissions, etc, it is like gambling in the casino where the odds are always at broker side.

I have been using Fibo Musang and based on this strategy I developed various trading plan, including following signal and anti the signal, still can't find any method to trade the ranging and trending market.

Start to lose my faith on forex trading slowly...

What is your advantage of this fibo musang? Does it follow good trading basics?

I am quite a conservative trader, I don't simple enter a trade based on signal, most of the time I enter only the price reached 4.236 and reversal signal formed, and I only trade H4, most of the time the strategy works, but the problem is, the exit point, we can't really know if the price will reached 1.618, 2.618, or even 4.236, you either picked 1, 2 or all 3. but by doing this, the RR ratio, adding up with winning rate, will make the final result good at some times, and bad at some times, and ending up either you win a little, lose a little.

Wonder is there is any consistence Fibo Musang traders here, mind to share your trading plan?
*
So it seems like you are 1 step away from being a complete trader.

The problem you have is your exit. This is very much a psychology problem (usually).

Sometimes you tell yourself you have to follow your strategy with discipline. And then you're rewarded when you hit 2.618. But then sometimes you follow with discipline and lose money because it miss your target by 20 pips then reverse all the way.

This is my own personal experience:
-The market constantly changes from trending to ranging. Your strategy usually is designed to capture one of this market conditions. When your strategy suits the market condition, stay disciplined and ride it out. When the strategy doesn't really suit the market condition, be more flexible with your decision.
-Read the book "trading in the zone" by mark douglas. It will most likely give you the answer you seek.

Thanks for the advise, ya, I used to take 2.618, so it gives me 1:2.618 ratio, so I just need to maintain at least 39% of winning rate. But that also hard to maintain. And yes it won't suit every market conditions.
*
I think you're almost there. I know coz I also had the same problem. But this problem will take a while to solve. There are a lot of things you need to settle once and for all. Psychology issues are not easy to solve.

And if you're unlucky like me you may end up discovering that your strategy is actually not good. And then you have to start all over again. But hopefully that's not the case. Otherwise your journey will still go on.
