// About Me
My name is Etienne Crete (from Montreal, Canada). I'm a swing Forex trader and help aspiring Forex traders develop a trading method that works for them so they can produce income allowing them to live with more freedom.
What you must know: I'm all for trading foreign exchange, but I think freedom is much more important than time spent in front of your computer.
I blog at www.desiretotrade.com and host the Desire To Trade Podcast. I was fed up with the “fake” millionaire traders and the “get-rich-quick-trading guys”. That's why you can expect more free content from me than what other people charge for!
If you truly want to succeed in Forex trading, I believe you need to keep working on yourself so you can improve your strengths, but also your weaknesses. Do not focus solely on what you're good at.

Correct me if I am completely wrong but back testing proves to the trader that what they have built works and that builds confidence in their system to trade it forward.

@@justgjt ...you have not listened to him, and have not actually placed live (non-simulated, real money) trades with a system. It’s very rare that an algo works with real money the same as a backtest shows.

This was without a doubt one of the best interviews. I speak on the same Traders Expo circuit as Boris and sat in a few times to his presentations on my down time. Real deal trader here and truly gets it. Rare to find a long term pro trader who still understands the challenges of the small account trader. Great job both!

Listening from 2022 it's amazing interview we have seen much more than 3000 points

@SSEnrich 3 жыл бұрын

Really interesting what he says about backtesting and risk reward. I try so hard to get that 3 to 1 in a trend trade. Very hard to get there. So now I am looking into how far successful trends go from my entry point. 40 to 60 pips is what the majority gets. Then there are of course a few outliers that go more than 100 pips and some even several 100 pips. But one has to plan for what normally happens, not the outliers. So it seems I have to tighten my stop loss so it will be 2 to 1 in order to get 50 pips. Also he said it is like impossible to get a 3 to 1 risk reward. Just saw another interview (maybe it was on this channel) about a guy who only traded if he could get 3 to 1 or higher. A lot of strong opinions on diverse bug traders. They speak like their word is the law.

@ScottHz 3 жыл бұрын

Great comment. Hopefully, those traders mean they *expect* a 3:1 RR, and they respond appropriately to the market after puttting on the trade. I hate to hear people say things like “I need the price to get to this point”, or “the price moves to the moving average” - clearly misunderstanding the market and the math! ;)

@agedvagabond 2 жыл бұрын

On most systems you are better off being dynamic than using set RR, have exit conditions similar to entry conditions based on the timeframe you are managing the trade, If im trading a swing I try to hold until I see a reason using my entry to take the other side of my trade, example is a trading range, it would be foolish to take 2 to 1 if you bought the bottom and price is moving up to the top and you cut your win at 2 to 1 if the range is offering 4 to 1.

Vastly different style than Al Brooks (another recent interviewee of yours). I found Boris's message fragmented and his communication style hectic. At different times he seemed to be implying he knew what he was doing (in his trading), and later saying he didn't and that he occasionally changed his approach and method. Whereas, in your recent Al Brooks interview, Al was clear and concise when explaining his trading approach and style (intraday momentum 5-min chart trading respecting various chart patterns without any indicators or algos) which he has used for the past 20 years.

@DesireToTRADE 5 жыл бұрын

I think that's a personality thing... Al might be preferring stability vs change. Thanks for the comment, Graeme!

@@gaberoyalll Yes! This! Personally, I have a hard time learning anything from Al Brooks, his style of speaking just puts me to sleep. ;) I’m very impressed with Al’s move from surgeon to trader, but again, just hard for me to get an actual ‘system’ or rules from his videos.

Successful trader = guy who didn't quit. I make most of my money on forex (trend) continuations, I lost most of my money trading forex reversals. Hint: I no longer (intentionally) trade reversals. Amplitude is not a problem for me because my algorithm is based on ATR. ATR is the single greatest forex indicator every created. It doesn't tell you to go long or short, but it instantly adapts your algorithm to volatility for each SPECIFIC forex pair. ATR will tell you how to size your trades for the current volatility. I like what Boris says about using an algorithm, and if you hard code that algorithm in somthing like TradingView's Pine Script or Metatrader's MQL, you just made backtesting your system virtually effortless.

ok how do you have support and resistance without the past candles.. also how do you know the trend or range without past candles don't agree..he is just trying to hype up robot trading..

@ScottHz 3 жыл бұрын

Did you listen to the interview? He’s saying backtesting is not the same as actual trading, which anyone who has actually tried to use a system (even with a robot) has found out. He also said he DOES backtest, but it’s a VERY minor part of trading - he would rather put a small amount of money into the system to see how it actually works.

How are you making money with a non-volatile market?

@dominic2446 3 жыл бұрын

@@ScottHz you can. a trending, non-volatile market has (ideally) a straight line price chart. i don't think my original comment was correct though. volatility might give people ideas about how to trade. whether those ideas are profitable or not... also volatility might be good for trading the VIX.
