It seems pretty obvious that the more complicated we make trading, the harder it’s going to be to make real money trading forex. For whatever the reason, people just don’t seem to listen.
How else would that explain why only 5% of forex traders make any money? If all these "magical" indicators and robots worked, why are there so many people crashing their accounts?

That’s when I dropped everything, completely cleared my charts of all indicators and began to look at my forex charts, as the purists call, naked.
There was nothing blocking my view of the price. No Moving Averages, No Stochastics, No MACD, No RSI, NOTHING but a simple bar chart.
I would love to tell you that the first day I did this, I instantly saw the holy grail and I was going to be rich by the end of the week. But that didn’t happen.
