Excellent talk.
I trade from the longer term view too. A lot less stressful way to make consistent money.
I keep coming back to this one. There are some timeless tips in here for all traders.
A Master class. Thanks for bringing Scott and his expertise. This is a unique class which won't be found elsewhere.
this is the best class to take, not a 2000$ guru class
Thanks so much Santiago :)
The host really should let the guest talk without saying "right", "sure", "un huh", etc. It's super distracting. Otherwise, love the content!
Thank you for asking the origin questions. It's nice to hear how things started and developed. I'd like to hear more questions about the time frames they choose for their models. Thanks again for such a great channel
Sure thing!
Thank you again. I get the same feeling when listening to your interviews as when I'm reading the Market Wizards books. @@TopTradersUnplugged
Another great one. Cheers 🍻
This is the holy grail
anyone ? no mention of entry exit for long trend what are two parameters ,no more fees
I have been trading for about 6 years and have been trying Long term forex trading for about a year. I do very well out of it because I win more trades than I lose and I win more money in my wins than I lose in my losses. There is one very serious problem though, The ROLLOVER or OVERNIGHT fees are crippling my account, I have made no actual money because the overnight fees are non stop sucking all my profits away...it is an impossible situation. Please explain how you do so well with these relentless overnight fees every single day? Thank you.
