hey gang - i get a hell of a lot of emails about this question - heres my normal reponse :-

Dear FXCorrelator,

I have recently viewed your posts on trade2win.com regarding reviews of [REMOVED] and his [REMOVED] course, which I thought of buying.

I am a new trader, still on a demo account, and learning the basics of indicators and terms before from Babypips.com "pipsology" course before I start trading with real money, preferably in the next few weeks, however with a £100 account, as I am looking to make around £200 per month or so.

Is it possible that you could provide me with any advice? Or any way we could talk extensively for any queries I have about trading, for which I have many.


Hi [removed]

Personally in my opinion you can do a lot better than just paying his company lots of money to learn simple strategies ...and many others in truth

95% of these trading academies and schools are taking your money to teach you the basics of trading and then very very basic trading systems ...that don't really make any money .....story to tell you that but it's true ....it's all available by researching free online and finding some good traders threads to read and learn from

Sure they are useful but I would say mostly there's no more than perhaps £50-100 of information worth learning ......the rest is you are paying for someone's time and marketing expenditure plus then it's all profit for,them ......easy money !!!

My advice is to get in the big forums like T2win and forex factory and learn learn learn and test things in demo......don't start trading real money till you are making consistent money in demo mode ......please !

Cheers
Neil

a few quotes from Epictetus.......(AD 50 – 135)

he was a Greek Stoic philosopher.....looks like the dude would have made a hell of a trader ? :)



It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

Anything or anyone capable of angering you becomes your master.

Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control.

Circumstances don’t make the man, they only reveal him to himself.

It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.

No man is free who is not master of himself.

Don’t seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and all will be well with you.

Appearances to the mind are of four kinds. Things either are what they appear to be; or they neither are, nor appear to be; or they are, and do not appear to be; or they are not, and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man’s task.

Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Therefore, give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions and determine to pay the price of a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths. Remain steadfast…and one day you will build something that endures: something worthy of your potential.”

What concerns me is not the way things are, but the way people think things are.

hey all

no video today as im busy ...heres the weeks action ....starting monday 17th

ive tried to show currencies that were prime movers in each days trading

look at the Turquoise NZD...what a weeks volatility ...it was in top 2 every day nearly

3 days of blistering gains to +150's pips ..........then a really really big hit thursday .....then rallied again friday .....Rollercoaster !

some nice swing trading in the week ....notice how many currencies reversed directions from midweek ....classic pattern if you follow currency correlation

(Hint - always look for reversals if a currency hits 3 days in same direction )
