Why do we trade?... no really, why?

Wha...? I missed that one! Ok, seriously then. That whole "journey of self discovery" crap is so cliche but in this case it's so very true. It didn't really start kicking in for me until about a year ago. My alcohol intake has dropped to zero. ...

todd, try space3 = 4.0 and expand_rate3 = 35.0 That seems to work best for me on EJ/M5. I've only gone back about 2 1/2 months. Tiny span of time, I admit, but we've seen a wide variety of market conditions. It's very obvious (as aicccia has made ...

Would someone please call security and have this person escorted to the door. Thanks. Oh, and if you're the last to leave, please turn the lights out. Thanks again.

AMAZING Strategy!!!

You think? Because it resembles one of your dusty old ma indicators? aicccia and the other FF coders he's working with are all just trying to make a big joke on everyone? Bugger the screenshot. I have a better idea. The source code has been ...
