- Anyone here have a successful and durable experience in forex trading ?
- What's techniques did you use ?
- With how much money did you begin ?
- Gives me advice for a beginner like me, please.

I am really sad when i read specialized forums in forex, why?
Because all the trading journal I read ends the same way :
They end up losing all their gains and have their account to 0 dollars, after 6 months or 1 year.

I need testimonials from people who really live forex successfully since several years.

lol

There's literally no such thing. Go on babypips then ask for proof of a successful forex trader. Watch when all the brainwashed retards do their mental gymnastics to justify why you don't need proof for something to work.

The only way to become successful day trader is to start with a lot of money. Even then these successful day traders are all cloaked in secrecy and often disapere of the face of the net when people start asking questions.

3% return on £10,000 barely beats inflation. Most of the 'good' forex accounts have an average of like 5% return per annum, yes they may have a month of 10%, 50% or even 200% but as you stated after their gamble and big win, the next year their returns start averaging out in the single percentile points positive or negative.

For the net profits you get forex daytrading on a shoestring budget, you may as well work at McDonalds.

That's the truth, take it or leave it is the truth.

There is, but these people are quite rare. Being a successful trader is much harder than a successful doctor or engineer. But once you get into that level, you will stop shitposting on 4chan.

Before you ask, no i won't tell you jackshit about me. After months of hard work i am a breakeven trader after being a loser trader, and in the process of identifying the various flaws of my system and slowly tweaking my thought process. Maybe i'll be successful, maybe not.

But i'm not here making forex threads for the 8th time in a row in hope to learn the holy grail from some anonymous shitposter. Which means my odds of being successful are vastly greater than yours. Just make sure you follow the advices of all the successful and knowledgeable people here who manage several billions, like these two fags >>1015431 >>1014747
Fx market has a high mortality and there are very little succesful people. Mostly because the market feeds upon wannabe millionaires like you who want to start with a few dollars. It's actually even more sad since a lot of these idiots come from third world shitholes (like OP, just look at his english ffs) where even a few dollars can be a difference. On top of that, they even develop gambling addictions.

Meanwhile OP, always remember. Long on kneepads and sucking cocks, short on not sucking cocks for a living. Because if you really want to be a trader, while having this mindset and seeking advice from people on the internet, i'd say you should really learn the ropes of a good sucking.

Listen up sugarlips, i'll tell you how it's going to be in six months. You will be feeding me your liquidity, you and your bullshit trading system built on hearsay, courtesy of your incessant begging here. Meanwhile i'll be succesful. Or maybe i won't, but my money management will prevent me from losing my shirt, at least.
There is no money to be made with your mindset, and you are going to find it out the hard way. You come from a shitpoor country, and it's already a big deal that you have an internet access.

Don't kid yourself OP, you will lose. Everything. While probably paying a few hundreds to some con artist corse seller along the way. And will develop a gambling addiction. Save the few money you have, find a legitimate job and forget about trading. Market loves sending people like you to the poorhouse

Or suck dicks. Really. Buy some kneepads and start sucking. Go on /lgbt/, start asking questions, look around. Sucking cocks is an art, but i'm sure a resourceful guy like you will eventually be rich. Sucking dicks

90% lose 90% of their capital in 90 days. On average. I'd say i'm pretty ahead of the curve.

But you seem pretty anally blasted, so i take you fell for the value investing meme and put your money in an index fund recently. Hey, i would be mad too if i was you

Also, yes i am above 18 since you do need to be at least 18 to open a margin account. So i'd say you should give a call to OP and open a nice little prop cocksucking firm, develop orally pleasing algos and stuff.

Wow... there's a such a huge difference between having a career as a trader and having your long term investments do better than the S&P.

>>1015557
Gl man, I've been through it. Tweaking your thought process is more important than adjusting flaws in your system imo, especially since you seem to be on a long slow turnaround. Stick with it.

>>1014735
OP I'll give you some advice. The more experience you have, the better trader you will be. Here's what you do:

Get a demo platform. Thinkorswim papertrade is not bad.

Develop an understanding of price action and market context while placing practice trades and growing your confidence.

Go live with a small amount of cash and see how you do. There will be emotional issues, but again, spend the time to work through them.

Find what market/timeframe works best for you and specialize. Personally I'm awful at trading forex. Currency prices move in very frustrating ways imo. Day trading energy futures are my niche.

This can take thousands of hours to do. At least. I'm not kidding. If you're not at a point in your life where you're prepared to put in the years of work and money that learning how to trade requires, don't do it.
>>
>>1014735
FX is a den of thieves

if you absolutely have to then LMAX, interactive brokers or FX Futures on the CME at least provide you with a more honest shot at it

I use forex.com and fxcm here's my secret. Trade a week or day chart sometimes the H4 chart. Make sure whatever amount of cash you have on your account it doesn't matter! You want to focus on you margin level % this is soooooo fucking important keep it over 2000% if you can and only trade a few pips and keep your lots small! Notice how I have 2 red lines set those are the parameters of my trades and you see how All my trads are .02 lots one after another after I've earned some mArgin level back? I've been tradeing for 4 years and I trade for some very rich people in Alaska I make really good money I take 22% profit from my clients at the end of every month and trade that in my own private account I never trade more than 10 accounts and I always start with over 10,000 dollars ;)

I won't delve into why indexes since i wasted enough time already arguing about that in previous threads. The tl;dr of it, is that going all in into an index is basically putting yourself at the mercy of the markets. Bear market can easily erode in a few months years of gains, and you expose your capital to significant drawdowns you have no control over. Also recency bias: past performances do not guarantee future returns. In short, while i believe it's a good investment for the average investor, i think there are more efficient solutions.

On the other hand, people here get into fits of autistic anger like this mongoloid >>1017229 when they hear about percentage returns. The truth is, a margin account with a skillful person behind it can easily average 15%- 20% per month, without a significantly high risk of ruin (i could IN THEORY do this while keeping my ROR at <1% if i manage to fix the various issues i still have with my system)
The problem is, 20% per month becomes no longer attainable when your capital becomes higher (above 100k most brokers start cutting down your leverage and you get nasty slippage and liquidity issues), your returns slowly regress.

Case in point: you can do 400% PA using 1:100 leverage (if your account size is small enough) or 4% PA using 1:1 leverage. In the latter case then yes, you would far better off putting your money into an index fund. In other words, it's leverage that does the trick, and you can't use it fully if you can deploy a significant capital

If you have 10,000 in a account you only need to make 5-10 trades to make that 10% it's not about getting rich quick you need to stay on top of it keep your margin level % high and if you need to wait it out a few weeks to take profit

For how long have you been doing this? These returns are neither normal nor sustainable in the long run. Rule of thumb for max. draw-downs is 2x average annual profit which naturally should limit sustainable profit to around 10-30% per year.

>>1020426
I don't really know much about how it works but I know I make consistent profit around 5-10% a month took a big lose around the eur/usd bull candle but I'm still in the green for profit it's not that hard if you just don't risk that much idk why other people fail just dont be greedy and always take profit no matter how much it is even if it's only 20 bucks. Every time u make a dollar that's 50 more bucks in leverage for your next trade. I've been doin this for about 2 1/2 years and I never let my accounts go over 50,000 if that happens I'll split them between brokers into four 10,000 Acounts take 10,000 for myself and start over so I don't take huge losses
>>
>>1020426
>These returns are neither normal nor sustainable in the long run
They are, see >>1019855
Again, the keywords are "leverage" and "small account"
And big balls. If you can survive a couple of years (we're talking about 2% risked per trade, for a max of two trades on non correlated assets, with an extremely high reward to risk ratio, ideally aiming for 10R+ trades) without getting flushed out by tail risk events (mind you, you would still need 20 losses to lose 40% of your account), you can easily scale down on risk.

I usually set a trade keeping a 2000% margin level within a single candle the green dotted line is my .04 buy trade the red dotted line is my take profit. I can change my take profit at any time. The two solid red lines are the range that the chart has been moving all week. Now might hold this for 5 minutes I might hold this for two days I might hold this all month but I'm taking fucking profit! Now I close my phone play dota2 check on it see where it's at on a very rare occasion I will only take a loss of I'm sure there's more money to be made reversing position. Otherwise I sit on my hands and glance at it every few hours. If you want I'll just start posting all my wins for the next few months.

Probably a stupid question, but ...

Is forex a zero sum game?
Institution A -$100 Million
Institution B -$25 Million
Institution C +$50 Million
Institution D +$75 Million

Or does the market get smaller by the day because of the extracted trading fees?
>>
>>1021095
>Or does the market get smaller by the day because of the extracted trading fees?
Nah the fees are injected back into the market one way or another.

But yeah: Markets are a zero sum game (minus the fees). It's only that some markets (not the big forex pairs since they are kind of in equilibrium more or less ) are skewed upwards due to asset price inflation and the way that social security systems in certain countries are set up use stocks as their piggy bank.

I'm 25 now just turned 25. Nah I pretty much live off of tradeing and bum off my rich grandpa he's gone most of the time so I get the house to my self he only comes around when he has to fly people and guide in the brooks range. I pretty much play dota and I've been building yurts and earth bag homes the past year mainly cuz they are really cheap and kinda fun. I build a earth bag home for 1700 bucks so if I wasn't living w my grandpa I still have a home but there's no fast internet out there
>>1021089 I'm not giving anyone a fool proof strategy or saying I'm the best trader ever I honestly don't understand how it all works but I know that if my margin level is high I'm less likely to get a margin call so I'm able to withstand the volatility of the market. Works for me and I'm not greedy and I don't always make 10% a month sometimes I only make 5%
Picture is a earthbag house its a really cheap easy way to build a home and save money for better investment I built mine for 1700 usd and can add on to it!

I trade forex as my main product at a prop firm. I started with nothing and now I've bought my house, cash in hand at age 23. You jelly? If you don't have the skill to trade forex gtfo and stop crying to all these people trying to make their fortune. It's hilarious these babbies dont have the balls or dedication to trade properly then cry. The reason you failed is because you're shit at it, not because its a scam. Nontraders can't even compete

Your tears are delicious, and the cash I took from you on the markets is even better.

Paper trade 3000$ and turn that into 10,000 in 2 months. If you fail start over. Keep practicing until you can do it! Once you make 10,000 out of 3000 5 times in a row then do it for real! Pro tip: you can't. Theres emotional barriers to face when tradeing real money

I'm not the other poster but I also worked at a prop firm

As far as London is concerned about 10 years ago you could just phone them up and ask if they're backing any new trainees... I literally went onto the liffe website found a list of clearing houses, checked their websites etc.../phoned them up. Had a few rounds of interviews at two of them and that was it... spent 10 weeks on the TT sim then went live

these days that sort of screen based futures trading is much more competitive, very few people can do it successfully and it isn't worth it for most firms to carry on backing random graduates to trade. There are a few legit firms out there still doing it - met traders in London for example. There are a lot of other places that are basically scams - asking you to hand over some fee for 'training' etc.. Basically anyone asking you to hand over money likely has a very low success rate for their trainees else the program would fund itself.

Main area now is HFT firms and options market makers... frankly if you want to trade options or babysit some algo you're generally going to have to go through a very competitive interview/selection process.... see IMC, Optiver, Liquid Capital, Mako, Jane Street, SIG etc..
>>
>>1026102
if you're being honest and have consistent results over say 6 months to a year through intra day trading - no overnight positions, multiple trades per day then you could arrange a deal with some prop firm on a first loss basis. You'll need to be actively trading intraday though. For example you could probably approach someone like Marex in London agree to put down a low 5 figure sum and they'll back you in return for some agreed profit split like 80:20 in your favour. I don't know how conservative you're being with your leverage though but for this sort of thing you'd tend to want bigger returns than 5% a month... It sounds silly but if you're a 'local' you tend to trade a certain clip size and you don't compound your returns... tis possible to make say 100% in a month of your notional account size.... You'll tend to regularly make monthly withdrawls
>>
>>1026968
basically if you usually throw around 50 lots or 100 lots then just because you made a decent 5 figure sum that month doesn't mean you're going to be trading a larger clip... you might well be allowed to trade up to 250 or 500 lots say... that is why you're partially backed by a firm in the first place so that if some situation does occur where you want to put on a large position you have the resources to do so... but day to day what you do might only really work well with a smaller clip.

Guys what the helllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. I downloaded Forex and made a demo account; Out of the last 7 days, everyday I have closed @ +$200.00
(I use 1,000,000 pips)

Is this normal? Should switch to Real money?

I'm not trolling. I'm very new to this.
>>
>>1027018
I'm not necessarily suggesting you adjust your current strategy if it works... I mean if you're currently trading with some FX bucket shop then increasing the frequency of your trades and/or shortening the time frame + increasing leverage could end in disaster....

if you're able to successfully trade some futures product though (perhaps FX futures) then that is where you could potentially go with a prop firm on a first loss basis... assuming you're in the UK

I think in the US it is a different scenario - you'd want to be in Chicago for prop firms though AFAIK for futures they don't take client funds, you have to be 100% trading their money or you go via your own FCM... trading arcades stateside are usually for equities and attract a lot of amature punters.. whereas in London they're for futures/options
>>
I've been demo trading an account with 10,000 and been mainly going off of what I read in the news(pretty much entire wsj and ft daily plus a bunch of other shit) and predictions I have on Forex Factories News. So far I have a 10% return this week. would this be a reliable strategy. Granted its 1:100 leverage.

I have 10K I want to invest eventually and hopefully be able to supplement myself pretty good with it and take out most of the returns. I wouldn't even trust thousands returns in the FX broker.

I'd always set a S/L so that I won't loose more than 1% or 100$ per trade. I've fucked around with high leverage accounts and always seems like it is high return but you can hit your stop so easy monetary wise. I've been doing this demo 100% serious and have become much more confident in FX fundamentals the last few weeks. If I did it with real money should I use 1:50 or 1:10 leverage?

What does /biz/ think, especially that Alaskafag?
>>
>>1027076
I'm the smug trader from earlier. I wouldn't recommend it if you started recently, markets have been going mental the last few days, very easy conditions, anyone can make money when it's this easy. Give it a try in harder conditions and see what your results are. If you can replicate, give it a go.


To the others, I work at a London prop house. I paid my fee, but it went to paying my first few months desk fees. I got the job at age 18, after doing work experience and maintaining 81:19 on simulators.

you're probably trading via a bucket shop

use a proper exchange or ECN... if you're a retail trader and you want to get out of a trade using a market order then 99.99% of the time you should be able to instantly
>>
>>1028093
Only using ladders, or proper trading software. Cfds and other retail platforms I don't know, as I never dabbled in trading outside of professionally doing it

>>1027931
>>1027938
>which pairs do you trade?
eur/usd is the only one i'm trading on a daily basis. I sometimes switch to other pairs when there is special situations (usd/jpy those days for example). There's no need to trade on more than this pair, at least for me.
Being on FXCM, i spend 95% of my time trading eur/usd and FRA40 (cac40 cfd).

>what time frames do you use?
m1, m5, m30, h2 and d1.
m1 and m5 are the ones i'm looking at every second for analysis and i sometimes switch to m30 to confirm or infirm some opinions i have or trades i want to take by looking at mid-term evolutions of prices.

>which indicators do you use?
None for now. I analyse volumes, forms of candlesticks and forms of graphs by myself and trade accordingly.

>how many trades per day/week on average did you aim for?
I consider myself a day trader. 8 - 30 trades a day is a good average for me but it mostly depends on what strategy you want to follow.
>>
>>1028163

>>1028282
The programs I use are different to what you would use. My desk has two computers, one internet and one hardwired to the exchange, and my trade software works on a direct line to the exchange, so you wouldn't be able to use that. The charts I use are Sierra, but they are shit unless you can connect them to your ladders. I'm honestly not the best person to ask about software because its all custom.
>>
>>1028282
Also, as a prop trader my needs are different. I use full size lots, so for me to buy one lot of eurusd is €100,000 in contract size, rather than microlots. I also consider the less trades I do in a day, the better, again a different mentality to retail.
>>
>>1028300
I see. That makes sense. Can you tell me why your hardwire to exchange gives you an adventage?

Also I have some suspicions, even though I've made $900 in two days and not a single mistake so far.

Is it possible that there are programs to ensure I lose as soon as I buy, or is the market completely unpredictable?

My other question is just a simple technical one, How do pips work? I can't tell because of my demo account. So when I feel good about buying, I buy 100,000 pips. How much is that in Canadian Money and Do I have to have a certain amount of money in my account in order to purcahse 100,000 pips?
>>
>>1028300
Also what is exactly your job? You sit there, just like me, and "predict" where the trend is to buy or sell? And who's money do you use?

They probably have market makers whose job it is to minimize your profits; some places set it up so the reason it takes a while to close the deal is because you must wait for THEM to buy back off of you - you aren't trading using real markets most of the time, just real market " data", a crucial distinction. I don't know pips, but in futures, which what I trade, we have lots, defined for individual contracts by the exchange, so one lot is 100,000 Euros, one lot is 1000 barrels of oil, or a few troy ounces of gold.

As a prop trader, I get in to work, and trade on global standard markets, direct to the contract holders, eg CME, Eurex, ICE. Mine is different due to the size I trade and the time scale I take. I trade using company money, via clearing houses, and I initially took a 50% commission, now 80. We, as a company, get our margins subbed by the clearing house, but float ourselves for profit and loss.

>I am using ForexTraderPro.

that's the software you're using isn't it?

I said you're probably trading via a bucket shop...

are your orders that you're experiencing delays in getting fills for going to an ECN or some entity calling itself a 'broker' that is actually taking the other side of your order?
>>
>>1028298
>My desk has two computers, one internet and one hardwired to the exchange, and my trade software works on a direct line to the exchange, so you wouldn't be able to use that.

that's BS

most prop firms use TT, CQG... maybe stella, echoware... no reason why someone not at a prop firm can't use the same software

also your orders very likely aren't going direct to the exchange (they're certainly not if you're using one of the solutions I've just named)

Yeah, we used to use xtrader,TT, cqg. But I'm using this beta software at the moment called Neon, developed by the guys who made TT I think. And yes, I have DMA features, although you can use the internet. I just wouldnt. DMA will never go down mid trade, for example.
>>
>>1028614
you're not using DMA

you've got a leased line

the vendors you're using have DMA, some HFT prop firms have DMA... you don't

your orders are passed via another set of servers either hosted by your clearer or by your software vendor and then passed to the exchange, they don't go directly there

>I'm currenctly challenging myself : I've started a new account with 230€ and i'm trying to grow it big as fast as possible.


I think this method is the best to learn forex or index cfd:

depositing tiny amount less than € 200 and try to make it grow until 1000, once in 1000 reached 900 withdraw.
With the remaining € 100, try to grow them again to € 1,000, remove 900 ... etc.

do it 10 times successfully

Instead of dropping € 50,000, losing after six months, redeposit € 20,000 and lose again after one week.
>>
>>1029545

merde, je me suis embêter à traduire ma réponse avec google traduction alors que tu es français.

je disais que ta méthode de déposer un petit montant comme 100 €, essayer de les faire fructifier jusqu’à 1000, en retirer 900, et recommencer avec les 100 € restant est excellente.

Au lieu de déposer de gros montants sur son compte pour les perdre 6 mois plus tard, Thami KABBAJ parle dans une de ses vidéos que certains de ses étudiants ont perdu jusqu'à 500 000 euros, de la folie.

lol not a trader or economist.

I had some apple stocks in the past that brought me like 400% profit over 2 years, now it's RIP.

lol you want the key to success? there is none, just read dozen of economy books and select two countries, find legit sources of news, read them, learn how to analyse news, when u get better u will be able to tell when currency goes down or up e.g. from major occasions..


at the big drop of AAPL stocks in mid 2013 I made a deep analysis, and came to conclusion that they will go up, highly go up, I just found out that they were buying a lot of small companies(potential iphone5 features), etc, when iphone5 came out it was great, big difference to 4.

I also found out company they will use to buy glass, and case materials/design, invested in them too.

in 2 years about 3500$ turned into 16k+, on/off trading.

so yea, I'm studying IT and not related to finance, simple logic brought me there?

Fuck I wish I knew what you're talking about.

Here's how I am currently trading:

>Use ForexTraderPro with Demo account
>Click on the "i" on two currencies. (i. e EUR | USD)
>Open chart, look at monthly, daily, 10 min, intervals
>Based on my prediction Buy if I think going up, Sell if I think going down
>When buying use "100,000" amount (someone told me that's called pips or bips). No Idea how much that is
>Watch til "Unrealized P&L" goes from Red (-50) to green (at least to +20) and click and close deal

TFW I have been successful every time. Have made $365.66 since morning. $900 last two days.

Can you guys just give me a run-down of what I should know or should be doing?

Pic-related is what I see.

I've already proved myself what i can do. I'm just doing this for the challenge and to be sure, one more time, that i can run my own trading company. But for such a tiny amount (230€) i'm definitely not aiming at 5 nor 10% of gain a month. My aim is to come to 10.000€ in 2 months or less. (so 4348% more or less). I'm not trading with some millions nor hundreds of thousands of euros where 2-3% a month is a very good job.
With less than 15.000-20.000€, such percentages would clearly not be enough, but once again i'm only talking for me.

Even though we're both french, i'll write in english so everyone can understand.
I don't know about Thami KABBAJ but i'll check his videos.
I am 25 and yes, i learned trading by myself. There's two books that i definitively recommend if you want to do the same by the way : "Le chartisme" and "chandeliers japonais". They're both in english and are very beginner friendly.

I am not baiting. What the fuckkkk. I swear I just got into this two days ago. Look at my questions on this thread. Also are you saying this a bait because it's making money? (it's a demo account). You download it from forex website.


>>1030243
I don't have a real account. I actually am curious.

So here I have $50,000 in demo account and I am betting 100,000 pips.. making around $200 profit. when my "Unrealized P&L(CAD)" goes green 20+.

But If I start a real account with $100. Does this mean the max profit I will can make is like 2 cents, or $2? Also that I won't be able to purchase 100,000 pips? How does this work with a $100 real account?

Gz, you can trade news. Not much need to do that much research though desu senpai, its pretty obvious when doing company shares long term
>>
>>1030236
Also look, I bought 500,000 EUR/USD. So my prediction is that it will go up. It's been going down since I bought, but watch I make a profit within a few hours. Right now my "unrealized P&L" is -900.
It will go to +20 and I will sell and profit.

I'm writing this now for proof.
>>
>>1030323
Tbh that's a bit of an unlicensed call to make. It may go up, im not disputing that, and in the early US session it did go up, however I would be careful putting positions on for longer than 1 hour right now due to obvious reasons

>>1029532
Why never long-terms?

I have been following a couple of currency pairs, and I have seen them grow more than 30% over the last 2 years.

Yeah, well done, I didn't deny it should've gone up, but anyone with real size at the moment is waiting to see what China will do now the circuit breaker has been removed after triggering twice this week. There's too much downside risk, especially with people covering jpy shorts by buying euro in anticipation.
>>
>>1030697
Because fundamentals can change at the drop of a hat. Look at what happened to chf when the snb announced negative interest rates. No matter where you were holding, you either retired or went bankrupt on that trade if you were long term

do most FX traders believe in the saying "come up by the stairs, down with the elevator"?

Do carry trade work in practice, btw?

I'm not sure you understand the previous post then...

Yes lots of prop firms have that sort of setup - your clearer isn't the exchange. True DMA involves interacting directly with the exchange API - you don't do that, you're a point and click trader using off the shelf software - your orders don't go directly to the exchange they go to either servers hosted by the ISV or servers hosted by your clearing firm... then get passed to the exchange - you'll have controls in place to stop you from submitting an order for 100,000 lots for example...

you might well have some automated trading group - how close to the metal they are is another matter... not everyone in the HFT space is interacting directly with the relevant exchange's API from a colocated server.

>Why never long-terms?
Because there's more money to make day-trading than taking long-term positions.
Once again, if you have the time, it's better to spend your days in it.

long-term trader (3) < day-trader (2) < scalper (1)

There's infinitively more money to make as a scalper than a long-term trader but it also require A LOT of time and a definitively more knowledge.
With the same amount of money, you can win 20% over some months but some % every day as a day-trader, and even more as a scalper.

I had seen a guy here in the past hyping a company that has really sparked my interest. After intensive study I also believe they will make massive gains this year.
>>
>>1031720
But wouldn't you say that a long-term trader needs less knowledge and time to make satisfactory gains?
>>
>>1031866
Less knowledge, more time.
Bet on the drop of eur/usd and by the end of 2016 you'll make easy money ; the more you invest, the more you'll win.
Use intra-day fluctuations of eur/usd and you'll make ten times more, minimum.

Personally, I've had a hard time day trading fx. It seems you have to keep track of so many different economic indicators as well as global macro to be successful.

I had quite a bit more success say trading Dow futures, because you just need to track one economy.

better analogy - I'm sure plenty of people walked/balanced along the edge of the curb as kids... if you lose your balance you just stick your foot in the road... you can walk along the curb no problem, just mucking about.... that is like trading on a sim

supposing after practicing walking along the curb you are then taken up to the top of a tall building and told to walk along the edge of the roof... basically the same thing as you were doing with the curb... but now there are actual consequences if you screw up - suddenly you're not able to act in the same manner as you were before - that is trading live

I remember when I traded on a demo account for a few years then I moved 3000 to a real acount. It wasn't much different but I found myself understanding the emotional part of it. I lost a few trades. Then I took a break and stopped being greedy and emotional over my trades. Now I'm doing a lot better. It's all in your head man

Most of the non professional inverstors lose everything. Investing in a financial market needs a lot of research and dedication constantly. You vannot compete against people who work all day at a trading floor and you will read all the important news too late when all the traders and brokers have already reacted.

When you say bucket shop, I assume you mean FX brokers that trade against you - which isn't quite the correct definition of a bucket shop.

but that said, forex houses that run a b book will actually have less delays and better fills - because your broker is takign the other side of your order they just fill it in house at spot price immediately. If you are experiencing delays and fill problems, it probably means your broker is selling direct to market through another big broker using a PAMM, and being honest.

b book broker is much better to trade with than an ECN - sure, they make money when you lose - but you win, and your orders fill instantly.
