I like to think so... science is science... I can't speak from an electronics viewpoint as I am an HVAC contractor. Capacitors are a crazy animal but I am not out to tearing them apart to see how they work all I care about is that they do work. On ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

You spin me wide round, Like a record. — How is this different from not getting handed something on a platter? How is this different from painting a picture? You want to be told what to do, but when you're told by me or others you claim it to ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Naw, banks mess with me all the time. I love it when I can stick them month in and month out and have them guard my money for free. I don't just do this for the money... I do it for the challenge!

What is your weekly return?

crawl back to your job... study forex part time. STOP LIVE TRADING NOW. demo trade until you can do so profitably. Do not trade on credit or loan only use risk capital. Seriously STOP NOW.

Crazy/Stupid mistakes you committed during trading

Yes Marv, if you reread what I said: for obvious reasons (Mentally and Psychologically) risk never goes away.

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Hard Lemonade — Yeah, you have to have a thick hide of a skin to dwell here. Most of that comes down to rampant egos. IMHO a rampant ego is a rampant way to get departed from your money. If we ever stop learning or think we know everything ...

7 years at FF - some humble advice

This right here is the whoa is me... you also go onto say about someone needs to paint a picture and then you later say you don't want it handed to you on a platter. To set the record straight I'm not pissed at you.... maybe a little disappointed in ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Nubcake, I think you expect a "holy grail" with no risk. I didn't get profitable by NOT risking failure many times. I try to avoid this as much as possible but that's my risk and the risk I've chosen and it's because of this is to why I am ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Talk it over with Jack — congrats to the OP on the longevity... quite an accomplishment many never see the light of. I am only 3.5 yrs off from you... but my hope is I will find something else to do 3 yrs from now than post in FF. ...

7 years at FF - some humble advice

I think the difference is that those posts show your willingness to learn, never say die attitude. There probably isn't much harder than FX, and we continually learn and try new things. When you love to do something it doesn't feel like work. FX is ...

quest for Forex knowledge, humble request for assistance

In essence this is what the profitable trader does upon entering any position.... it's the re-incarnation part that seperates the winners from the losers. re-incarnation of money can lead to an orchard out back, just go pick some if you need to. ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Update — this is an update to the post I made on June 9, 2011.

an EA that worked forever

Yeah the US brokerages want to make you think all is well with 50:1 leverage. Their pie is shrinking, what other reason would someone have to come here and say that 50:1 is enough? Please list your reasoning if you are for 50:1 leverage... why you ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

yeah true, but we make a test for forex and we might as well make one for politicians as well. we wouldn't be in half the mess we are in if the government even knew what they were doing... currently we have 14 trillion reasons to show they don't ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

All the previous posts that are for leverage of 50:1 sound like USA brokerage propaganda. They see their market pie shrinking. If leverage doesn't matter then why place restrictions of 50:1? The bottom line is the less leverage you have the MORE ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

pyramid is more or less the same thing as ponzi... ponzi scheme was named after some poor schmuck who did it for a long... long time. x xxx xxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It starts by one person give you money. ...

Finally I'm profitable - I need help coding the EA - Willing to share the strategy

Not really. While pyramid schemes give rewards for awhile eventually they catch up to you... just ask Bernie Madoff / Alan Stanford. I know that's likely not what you meant but I couldn't resist.

Finally I'm profitable - I need help coding the EA - Willing to share the strategy

There can be differences in data from demo to live as well this can skew indicators among other things. I don't know if this is a broker trick or just a difference in server times or what. I have learned ways to deal with these inconsistancies over ...

how do demo accounts differ from real live trading?

Set the record straight #2 — Hey Pid, couldn't agree with you more.... so I thought I would share a pic of my trade explorer. Currently I feel Forex Factory shows too much information in the explorer so this picture (below) has been edited. It ...

an EA that worked forever

wrong direction --- so are you saying you don't rescue in this case? Take your medication on the chops? I can tell you will grow some balls if you try it and you might dooky yourself in the process. I personally let the market decide, unless I see ...
