@RickM -- I'm questioning your comment about brokers being scammers because they don't show us real FX volume levels. Brokers who support MT4 don't have a choice what data they can show us -- they license the MT4 trading platform from MetaQuotes and ...

@W0lfram -- very interesting, thanks... Unless I'm reading it wrong, it looks to me like they match up pretty closely...

Hi Rick -- thanks for your response. I'm still learning and have gained a lot of insight from your posts. Paying attention to volume (or tick-volume) is new to me, and though I'm not currently using it the way you are, I've incorporated it into a ...

@here2there -- I just now came across a post of yours from last month where you also commented about tick-volume vs FX volume: ================================================= Your quote: "I responded to you because you appear to be giving people ...

@Lest -- if you are going to attribute a statement to me then, at least, have the courtesy to get it right. I wasn't encouraging you to use MM to rescue a bad strategy. Again -- here is my statement: "Good money management can rescue a lousy ...

I see -- it's all about courage? Let me get this straight -- if it comes down to good MM or being courageous, your advice for struggling traders is to go with being courageous? Okey, dokey...

It's Unreliable

@Lest -- obviously you are not a native English speaker, so misunderstanding is understandable. I didn't say **ANY** strategy. I said that good MM could rescue **A** lousy strategy -- I've seen it and experienced it. In case you missed the point it ...

And whoever mentioned the importance of money management I would give two thumbs up I would agree. Good money management can rescue a lousy strategy, but lousy money management will surely tank even the best strategy. More ...

@here2there -- don't you think it's kind of funny -- not in the "haha" sense but in the ironic sense -- that the guys who complain most about misinformation are the same ones who are most guilty of spreading it?

Your mistake is that you don't understand the meaning of the word science. Your mind has such a high opinion of itself that it has convinced you that whatever it thinks must be right. In fact, not only must it be right, it must also be "science". ...

Whatever... Yes -- math is reliable, but what about statistics or probability? Is probability reliable? Does a 60% win-rate mean it's a reliable strategy? Not necessarily. But, probability is math, right? Stating that math is reliable is like a dodo ...

You're right -- but that would have been too civil of me, and civility is a two-way street. I was simply responding using the same tone of @ryuryu's post... @here2there -- sorry for the interruption. As @jmn5611 has applauded you for policing your ...
