    // 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.
    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.

    Hey Etienne, thanks for having me on the show. Always a pleasure chatting with you. Sorry about the rant ..... and my apologies to my Price Action trading friends 🙂Like I always say, there is no definitive right way to trade, as you should just trade what works for you and what you are comfortable with. Thanks for all the kind comments about the interview also. Greatly appreciated. Cheers.

      Hey Jim when you check your daily chart, do you take trades from the daily wick or daily body where price has closed?

      I really enjoyed this interview Jim!
      I especially love hearing another Aussie talking trading👏
      You've inspired me to think about indicators as a tool for future strategies I will be working on despite the fact that my consistency has come from price action.
      The thoughts I had hearing you speak is summarised in a comment I made above, will attach my main point below.
      I think the problem with indicators now is its very easy to backtest them over 10 plus years and it's easy to see they don't work all the time or enough to be profitable on their own, price action is much harder to code and backtest and so people that are coming into the market as beginners don't trust indicators but at the end of the day both price action and indicators require experience to use in a way that is consistently profitable.

    One of the best interviews by a real trader............Not the superstar youtube trader who post videos of 3-digit returns (or thousands of $$$ of profit in a month) just for earning from youtube rather than from trading consistently
    So many simple and important things to learn in this interview.
    Loved it.
    Agree 100% with all the things Jim Brown says.
    Thanks for this interview Etienne

    So if I am understanding correctly, we should not care about a specific outcome at all during the learning process?
    Then, from what point of competency would you say it's _"legitimate"_ to set goals as a trader?
    Is profitability the only legitimacy factor to start setting goals? Or do you see other factors?

    I like Jim and I've been in the FB group a few years but let me be clear. This system will not work without hedging and I don't mean a little, he is hedging the living crap out of his trades. The US does not allow hedging so you need multiple accounts and it makes it a pain in the arse to do it successfully. Jim also has a lot of experience finding the correct pairs to trade and also trades exotic Forex pairs. Like most systems, you need an edge to be profitable and these things are his edge and there is likely more. If you think you're going to just trade his system vanilla on daily charts and be consistently profitable, you're dreaming. The amount of false signals is horrible and unless you learn to ride the winners to the bitter end which are typically tops/bottoms, you'll quickly find your account blown.
