Forex THEN: draw trendlines and use Elliott waves and harmonics, s/r, a bunch of indicators boom you're there. Millionaire. Some people attaching a few tools and selling it as a holy grail. Buzzzz wrong.
In the meantime: don't forget to learn and apply a strict MM for those HGs. Without it your holy grail becomes evil cup! Buzzzz, not necessarily.
Forex NOW: I found Holy Grail!!! Oh really!! What's that? Order flow and VOLUME. They're all the things big boys do, oh and supply and demand. Anything else is BS. Boom millionaire. So what about trend line and other things? They are just some connected dots and stupid lagging calculators. Buzzzz wrong. (and the same MM story)
And EAs are always there.
The reality hasn't changed much. New people never realize that being a trader is something beyond those things. Someone should stop them from monetary suicide and people should be required to get a license before entering trading business. But the reality is who cares. That's the way trading world works and so called big boys latch like leeches into so called retail traders and suck their money until either they learn how to coexist or get stone broke.
