We all know that does not exist but now that I have you attention, I wanted to create a thread for members to post how they finally became profitable in forex trading.

Knowing that no one that has a winning strategy would ever share their secret, I am just looking for you to share just a basic strategy without compromising what took you years to develop!

For example do you:

> are you making money from forex?

> how many years have you been trading?

>only trade one pair?

>use no indicators?

>use many indicators?

>only trade on pure price action?

>look for chart patterns?

>have a favorite time frame?

>favorite indicator ?

> what is your best winning consecutive no. of trades?

>what is your secret, strategy ? (optional to answer or not )

Also, who or what has been your greatest mentor or influence?

I have been trading for a couple years now and I desperately want to become profitable I appreciate any feedback

and this is how I trade.

> are you making money from forex? Yes

> how many years have you been trading? 4 years now

>only trade one pair? No

>use no indicators? I use indicators

>use many indicators? about 3

>only trade on pure price action? no

>look for chart patterns? only on high time frames and mainly with trend

>have a favorite time frame? 15 min

>favorite indicator ? Bolinger bands

I learn from the amout of money I lost, lots of crap on the internet on how to trade, with time I start to feel the charts and know them better.
