Are they the tools of winners or losers?admin2009-11-24T02:21:41Z2009-11-24T02:21:41ZI dont use stop losses, but some people freak out on here when i tell them that. They say that the majority of traders lose money, but i notice the majority of traders in here use stop losses... Im wondering if there is any relation. I've only ever met 1 guy that makes 7 figures per year trading and he doesnt use stops either (and its worked well for him the 20 or so years he has been trading) So i just want to get some honest information out of you guys.
If you make 10 trades with 10 stop losses, on average, how many of those trades get stopped out? I'm suspecting that its a higher percentage (like 50% or more) so i just want to be sure.../article1.htmCHARTnese.. do you understand it?admin2009-11-23T02:07:20Z2009-11-23T02:07:20ZCHARTnese, a language that most people don't understand.. There's no dictionary for this language... Maybe that's why people have a hard time understanding charts... Charts will speak a clear language once you understand who's behind the language. In order to understand charts you will have to think like THEM.. Who's them? The professionals... I will not get into that right now, but if you day trade you should have at least 3 charts up... I like the 60,15 min and 144 tick... The bigger time frame clears up a lot noise and make me understand the language much better... A lot of day traders think since you day trade you have to look at smaller time frames.. That's far from the truth... Overall I use the 15 min for signals... I use the 60 min to look at the bigger picture if I can't figure out what the 15 min is telling me.. I use the 144 tick for pull backs on certain days.. Once I started to trade from the 15 min my trading change tremendously... Maybe you should to take a look at these time frames and study them everyday.. Its not hard to understand CHARTnese but it takes time... Happy trading all..
