By virtue of US and global security, all markets must follow certain rules in terms of the ratios by which price is distributed up and down, in and out of consolidation.
Forex is plenty volatile and one can employ leverage to magnify gains/losses.
The fact remains: All markets are managed to the fucking pip by the "Market Makers".

i don't think it matters who you learn from. if it doesn't work, try something else. i think of it like surfing because charts remind me of waves. the first time you get in the water you can't even stand up. then you stand up and the wave smashes you and maybe your board hits you in the head. eventually you catch a wave. if you keep doing it long enough you'll probably get good enough to at least enjoy it. most things in life tend to work like this.

Your pick is not bankers hitting a magic button wiping people out. That giant wick is either a new low or a retest of a previous level that was deemed a good place to buy. You should have had a layered stack of buy limit orders placed below the previous low and rode it back up. Buy low sell high. Chasing trends is for goobers.

And that's great and all when the market gives you a nice trend that begins and ends perfectly. Except that the market is ranging 80% of the time and also since you're a no-nonsense scientologist then you're probably using the daily chart only which means you're sitting on a trade for like 2 months waiting for a relatively tiny payout because you're only risking 2% with little or no leverage.

I've been trading diligently for the past month and half, and from what I can tell the name of the game is speed.

Currencies correlate so the quicker you are to catch correlated movements then the more money you make. I can't match those cocain fuelled bank traders so I set up a series of limit orders on opposite ends for correlated currency pairs. It's working out alright so far.

Trends do happen, but these seem like they arise from randomness.

Also, my issue with VP is because what he teaches is downright wrong and its leading a lot of people down a bad path where they're going to waste all this hunting useless indicators, blow out their accounts, and then blame the banks, go around telling everyone that forex is manipulated without not ever knowing how the market actually works, just like I almost did.

You're three trades in and you're still in the honeymoon phase.

I'm not trying to blow smoke up your ass here. You are me three years ago. I watched and followed VP for a year and half. The guy is a fake just like ICT and every other bullshit guru out with a heavy following. I'm still a novice trader with years of demos and only a single small real account that I blew up chasing trends and indicators and trying to snipe the market with a single ticket. It just doesn't work. My winrate since October, after a very difficult relearning adjustment period, is about 60%, which sounds bad except I'm trading with a massive amount of 1k tickets and the tickets I do win are bigger tickets than most of my losses. It adds up very quickly.

Just think about what happens when you take a 1 lot ticket, divide it in to 1k's, and then lay them out as limit orders over where you think price might go.
