IS A 28% MONTHLY RETURN ENOUGH FOR SUCCESS IN FOREX?

For the month of December 2017, I "only" managed to earn a 28% Rate of Return in the Trader Contest, placing just 132 overall in the Standings. Clearly this was not enough to place in the Top 10 especially with a total of "just" 155 Pips. However, despite this performance which was not enough for this competition, is it still enough of a return to be successful in Forex on a Live Account? I believe so.
The Video below summarizes my performance for the month, along with a description of the last …

Multiple Time Frame Strategy

Hi Traders,
Today there is no chart analysis as my analysis is the same since Monday of this week.

About developing a trade basket

Dear friends
I 'm willing to develop a trade basket plugin. The request is very simple. We choose a set of currencies to trade. So we start opening order buy or sell to each currency then we start setting the SL and Tp for each one individually or by setting it one shot.
The other point is that this basket should be treated as one entity wich mean that we want to set a general SL and TP to it and to be executed when it reaches one of it.
Is anyone able to help in this development he or she is mo…

The market is steadily manipulated.

Stop doing analysis,they don't work!
The truth is that those strategies simply do not work.
Read the title.
Do you really think that Eur/Usd will raise because a moving average crossed up another?
Those strategies are available to everyone because in the end they do not work.
To be a successful trader you do not need to have special knowledge in mathematics or be the economists who make complicated analysis. You must go to the source, understand and learn the real dynamics that move the market e

Awareness

Good evening, community!
You have already heard that almost every trader isn’t succesfull. Why?
It’s simple. Almost every trader doesn’t know the real dynamics behind the market, and what makes the market move. Basically this is a lack of knowledge and strategy. Second, there is a lack of psychology, when trading and when we are not watching charts. You need a winning and safe strategy, and have the right psychological approach to trading. In the market there are things that must happen,every da…

Dollar Soft after Yellen Testimony, Brexit Campaign Enters Final Day

Dollar recovered mildly against Euro and Yen but stays weak against other major currencies after Fed chair Janet Yellen's testimony before Senate Banking Committee. Yellen noted a few risks to law makers including "Brexit". She said that "a UK vote to exit the European Union could have significant economic repercussions". Also, "mixed readings on labor market and economic growth" warranted caution together with "vulnerabilities" in the global economy. Nonetheless, she's optimistic that the headw…

USD/CHF

New strategy :
Hold long entered at 0.9600, Target: 0.9700, Stop: 0.9545
Position : - Long at 0.9600
Target : - 0.9700
Stop : - 0.9545
Failure to extend intra-day rebound and current retreat suggest further consolidation would be seen, however, as long as last week's low at 0.9572 holds, mild upside bias remains for another bounce, above resistance at 0.9643 would signal the retreat from 0.9687 has ended, bring another test of this level, break there would provide confirmation that a temporary l

USDCAD midday forecast

The USDCAD pair traded with negative bias yesterday affected by the BOC decision to keep the rate unchanged. The expectations were a potential rate cut. Even though the news are not negative for CAD, the market reacted against all odds as it does in many cases on fundamental news announcements. The price touched the key support at 1.4430, holding above. This level represents key support to continue the main positive scenario. Today the price is trying to retest this support. Yesterday's USDCAD a…
