View Full Version : How did I go from -38% to 500% this month in my trading?
Hi, my name was Stanley Williams, when I started in forex it all seemed like chaos to me, I didn�t know what I was doing or what I was looking for... as you can imagine, my return was terrible until recently. Six months of bad decisions left me with $2,000 in accumulated losses. But for some strange reason, on July 11 everything was clicked. I was in demo, and I started getting consistent operations of 40, 50, 30 pips. So I said, �To hell, I�m going to try,� I put $70, and a week later that became $500. I had one or two losses and I got comfortable with about $450... right now I have an open operation with $70 profit. If you don�t believe me, all my results are public, 100% in real terms. If you want to know how I achieved, send me a message or respond to the thread.

I believe you... do you use classical skills or follow an EA? I only work with classical technical analysis: Fibonacci, supports, resistances and tendency. How do you do it?
I don't use EA, it's all mine.

Okay, but what exactly did I �click�? I�m sure many of us want to know that.
My system. A trading plan that fits me. I always heard that �have a plan and follow it,� and one day I did an operation that was won... then another, and another. All my records are public, I don�t care if you look at them or not, but I won�t lie about something I can prove. Literally, one day my trading changed completely.

Well done to find your moment �ah�. I have been without success for more than 10 years and 10,000 hours, until I left the indicators and forgot the support and the resistance. Support and resistance is pure smoke. You have to understand what the market is really looking for and where it is looking for. I help several traders every day with signs that risk between 3 and 10 pips per operation, and win between 50 and 400. Whoever wants to see, is free.
So you're no longer looking for mentor, okay there. With the discipline you learned in the army, you can do amazing things if you master the technical. You're the clear example. "There's only one kind of discipline: the perfect one" � George S. Patton

I see you made more than 600% return this month... so do I. It's pure luck... if you think I'm wrong, repeat that 500% over the next 12 months.
I hope you have a savings account ready...
Thank you, brother, thank you very much.

What a story yours is... 10 years without results? How sad. That's why we shouldn't believe anything.

Where can we see those signs you're talking about? Do you have a public account? Pass us the link, thank you. "20 pips a day keep the subsidy away"
Hahaha, that was funny, though he's right, at least now he seems to be winning.
Yeah, I don't believe anything either until I see numbers.

They're demo accounts and one is already busted. "20 pips a day keep away from the subsidy."
I had to withdraw the money, kid.
No, my real account was going well. I retired because I needed the money.
Haha, hate is real. Is this really this community, full of haters?

Navy, you're at a stage that many of us have gone through... it's just one of many stops along the way.

Is anyone active around here? I�m new to trading, I�ve lost a lot but I keep trying. If someone can give me some advice, I would appreciate it very much.

Nobody hates you, but your first post looked like a marketing scam. Sorry for not looking at the real account, but it also has only losses. Maybe you should start with $500, the $50 goes flying.

If someone hates you, it's because you did something that bothered them. Although I don't think there is hatred here... rather there's a lot of madness. P.D.: Show your recent history, it's no use hiding it.
Hey Navyforex! Looking at your trades, you should do more risk management... risking 6% per operation is crazy. I�m not a pro trader either, I�ve only been a year, but as you�re doing day trading, I�ll leave you how I handle my setups with a maximum of 2% risk. I start with $5,000 worth of equity. 2% is $100. With a 30-pipe SL, that gives you $3.3 per pip, or a 0.3 lot. My monthly target is 300 pips, about $900 I reinvert. I use the D1, H4 and H1 frames to see the structure and then run on M15. I recommend free ICT videos if you haven�t seen them yet: https://www.xxxx.com Good luck, buddy! I hope you�ll succeed.

500% says it all. �For the market to work, it needs people who think they can beat it.�

If so, where do you buy them and what percentage of your portfolio do you dedicate to them?
People who say it�s pure luck to do 500% in a month have probably never had the discipline of doing backtesting or following a plan rigorously. Are they right that it�s hard to repeat it every month? Of course it is. But that doesn�t mean that it�s impossible or much less that it�s pure luck. What happened that month was the result of previous months of failures, adjustments, and internal work. It wasn�t a casino hit. It was more like finding the right gear after everything failed. I�m not saying that I�m a genius, just that when you do your homework right, sometimes the numbers surprise you.
Some here seem more interested in seeing others fail than in learning something. Instead of asking for statistics, why don�t you share yours. Or do you just know how to criticize from the shadow? I didn�t come here to prove anything to anyone. But if someone really cares, I�m willing to share details, mistakes, successes and everything. I�m not interested in convincing skeptics. I�m interested in contributing to who wants to improve.
Trading is not just about indicators, patterns, or systems. It�s about knowing yourself. The day I understood that, it was when I stopped operating by impulse and started to respect my own rules. That change was more mental than technical. Many find it hard to admit that their emotions sabotage their results. But if you don�t control your head, no matter how many courses you take or which robot you use, you�re going to keep losing.
To those who laugh because I got 500% with only $70 I tell them: that�s called controlled leverage. Not every day it can be done, and yes, it�s risky, but it�s also proof that if you know what you�re doing, the initial capital doesn�t limit you. The real challenge now is to keep that mentality without falling into the trap of greed. That�s why I pulled a part and kept operating with a cold head. If they�re waiting for me to lose everything to laugh, they�re going to have to wait long.
You know what bothers me? That when you lose, everyone gives advice, but when you win, everyone distrusts. It seems that in this forum they only believe you if you�re losing. Well, I decided to stop listening to opinions from people who aren�t on my level of effort. And look, I�m not saying it�s better than anyone else. I�m just saying that if you�re not willing to do what I did, don�t criticize what I got.
I am convinced that most people don�t have a real plan. They enter the market with hopes and guesses. I had six months of that... and I lost $2,000. When I started following a method with written rules, it was when it started to change everything. It wasn�t magic. It was repetition, discipline and acceptance of small losses. I stopped trying to �win� the market and started working with it. Since that day, my operations stopped looking like bets.
The amount of passive-aggressive messages I received after telling about my experience surprised me. If you�re really focused on your trading, why do you mind so much that someone else does well? I don�t have time for envy or forum drama. I�m focused on my process. But don�t worry, I�ll keep sharing what I learned, even if some people burn that it works.
Yes, a small account is easier to grow by percentage. But that doesn�t take away merit from it. Because it�s also easier to burn it with a couple of bad decisions. What that experience taught me was that even with little money you can generate trust and skills. Now that I have more capital, those habits serve me not to risk more out of greed.
Many talk about risk management but do not understand that there is not a single way to do it. I did risk more than usual in several operations, but I did it conscientiously, with SL defined and without letting myself be carried away by emotion. I do not recommend anyone to copy my operation without knowing why I did it like that. The important thing is not if you risk 1%, 5% or 10%, but you know why you do it, when you do it, and what you do if it goes wrong.
Thanks to the few who did contribute with respect. I have received private messages from people who really want to learn and with them I am sharing more details. This thread did not open to boast. I opened it because I know what it is like to feel lost, directionless and full of doubts. If I can help someone get out of that hole, it is already worth all the hatred that some threw at me around here.
