As usual, I have to dislike the posts that I see as personal attacks on other forum members.

Spreadbitter, Artcool, and any others that want to bring others down ---> Please keep your personal attacks directed to me only <------. Many here are trying to learn and have not yet acquired the skills to ignore personal attacks.

You can trash-talk about me all you want I no regards for anyone's personal opinion of me, good or bad. I have learned not to "give the squeaky wheel the grease" in trading from negative posters. I have learned to keep the wheels that don't squeak (the winners) and cut off the squeaky wheel (the losers)

Happy trades to you.

You enjoy your power sunshine, let’s be honest with each other eh, given that you’re a big man and can take it; in your miserable life, keeping this thread ticking over represents the only glimmer of success you’ve ever experienced.

You have a delusional whopper claiming to be a doctor, who’s scrambling around a failed forum asking for help on how to fail better and pitching his signal service, and you defend him. Stay classy eh chump?

Davit taught me how to run a thread if I ever get serious about it. You are being too nice newbegger. Ban detractors on the first offense. Do not simply dislike their post.

It is one of the 48 Laws of Power. Destroy them. Give them no quarter. If you do, they will simply keep trolling you. Execute them.

I would also add this is a trading maxim that must always be kept. If your position goes red, kill it. It is not performing. Drop it like a bad whore. Don't say, it might come back. Drown the loser. Be a Spartan.

Now having said that, this does not you cannot cost average, you can. But the very second it hits your limits, nuke it.

Reaching for the stars. That is a good analogy actually.

The Saturn V rocket has stages to it. Each stage serves to build upon the prior stage. Space travel, warfare, law, and medicine all rely upon this building up of one stage on top of another. You have been so crushed by the market that you are clearly defending your ego here. There is no other reason for you to post. You are not going to save a single determined newbie. The only thing going on now is why a failed FX trader is now trolling the biggest FX trading site. Misery loves company doesn't it?

jmn - I don't mind him attacking me personally. It keeps him off those you want to become successful in this business because he may track them down and ambush them elsewhere.

So I will probably just continue to dislike so if they actually have something positive to say, or can stay out of the pub (I am not buying his no alcohol BS) I would like to see it.

But - since you seem to know - how do you ban someone from a thread? I am clueless and cannot find anything in FF about how to ban from thread.

Just put them on ignore, and they will be unable to post anything in your thread, at all.

{quote} do you think breakouts can't be automated ?? the only thing I think it's impossible to automate is a "volatility breakout system", not based on indicators (bb etc.), but on price action.
Hi, i agree and disagree ??

Many indies fail because they are not time related. These can be automated but you are speaking serious money to buy software.

a later post you did , you say 10 years of back test results, this is good.

i used to back test 15 years but i have also found just 2/3 years works well..It is something like a new fashion trend versus old fashion.

Sigh, the same tired childish rant, used hundreds of thousands of times on these forums; anyone who questions the circle jerk cult must have an agenda, beyond pointing out the truth..

If this place acts as a self help gambling group for addicts then wtf, meet, greet, encourage each other to keep losing money, whilst living in your mobile homes, in a sad, decrepit, long ago forgotten part of the USA.

Keep blowing smoke up each other arses, but you'll never make a living out of gambling currencies, you'll just keep on lying to yourself and your families, eventually you'll give up, once the credit cards are juiced and you've gambled away any tiny savings you have...

It’ll take a few years for a light to go on, time passes quickly trying to crack a code you'll never have the: tools, money, knowledge or experience to understand, and during that time there's a select few of us, who actually helped to create the abyss you stare into, who'll continue to chuckle at your feeble attempts at self delusional.

You really are a sad man.insulting and with an ego too big to fit up the arse you speak out of.

At least give the reasons why all us sad fucks are pissing against the wall.

All I see are some decent guys exchanging ideas and passing time.lets suppose your right and we are all living like a load of delusional pikies living in caravans .what does it make you ........

I’ve already quoted the stats over on another thread, I’m not going to repeat them all again, 96% lose, 0.1% take a living out of the retail side of the industry. There’s what, 3,000 regular posters on here, desperately trying to be retail FX traders? Good luck finding the three that earn a wage...

The retail FX industry is finished, it’s a sad joke, central banks and financial authorities are conspiring to kill it through leverage restrictions. The debate on forums hasn’t moved on in approx 20 years, there’s an arms race going on behind the scenes and you’re still all playing on your lagging platforms, with virtual dealer plug ins embedded, having the piss taken out of you.

There is is no function for FX retail trading, it serves no purpose, it’s gambling, without the sociability of going to the races.

Why ppl tend to waste their life with back testing, some doing it as a full time job, rather than spending the time thinking how to make a good trading system?

I respect your reply.
Clear concise reasons why.
I' will listen intently to plausible logic and reason.
I just can't understand the insults .
So I presume you understand the enormity that retail faces and also presume you are able to capitalise on it's failings.

I'm impressed, and a little amazed, at how so many of you are able to post your bullshit on this thread and trade, all at the same time (that's a joke, because there is ample evidence that none of you are traders). What a remarkable demonstration of multi-tasking! I started the week by posting one of my planning charts, the GA. I posted several follow up charts but erased them, as I did not want my work to be associated with the shit storm of negativity here on this thread. This week, I have been trading the GA, the EA, the G$, and the $CAD. It's been a good week for me, and I hope you have had a similar week (I know you didn't because none of you know anything about trading). But, since this thread has evolved into a sewer, I've decided to avoid all you turds and move on. If the OP ever gets the balls to ban some of the absolute jack-offs who are posting here, them perhaps I'll come back. But under the circumstances, this is a total waste of time.

Hello Friends, successful and soon-to-be successful traders,

Spreadbetter is giving a great example of how beliefs can kill your chances of success. He, and his followers, have dug their heels in, his mind is closed, his thoughts like concrete. He will stay with his belief system forever and he will continue to badger me and others who are not on his side. And I do mean forever. His mind is closed, set in stone.

In this case of mere posting his opinions and not trading anything, he can go on forever in his view as it costs nothing as he has no involvement with any financial market whatsoever.

In trading, you cannot have a concrete brain, a mind set in stone. You cannot hold on to a losing position not matter what the market says. It will cost you money to not be flexible. You are not bigger than the market.

Sound familiar? How many times did you hold the losing position too long? How many times have you taken profits too soon?

Think about it next time you are 100% sure on a trade.

Have you ever been in a trade that you know positively is a winner? What was the outcome of that trade? Did the market listen to you, like Spreadbetter thinks I am listening to his opinion? Or did the market have it's own opinion and slice a chunk out of your account?

Another example of the power of thought. You see a metallic silver painted automobile so you go and buy one. As you are driving down the road, everywhere you look, you see metallic silver automobiles. After a while, you notice no other autos. You only notice the silver ones even after a florescent orange auto just drove by you in the roundabout.
