good job bud ,,,,, way to finish a week out ,, a little pocket jingle ,

Okay, here we are, this is going to be long so bear with me.

Trading aside now, you all have been given supposed the holy grail, hah, the actual working of the algorithm, apologies to the new ones PMing, I have already had multiple video sessions with more than 10 members of this forum. I don't have any more to give when it comes to this aspect, plus I don't have the time for it, that's why I took the time to post and trade live with you guys today. Humbly speaking, read those 30 or something posts and then put in the work. There isn't anything else you need, and for the love of anything that is to be loved. Stay away from things which make you think you're stupid or you're not good enough. Your mind does and will figure out a way if you get that salve mentality garbage out of your head. Start fresh, start by investing time on a naked chart. Find those trails, as if there were no moving averages, fibs, stochs etc. A human being is the greatest specie and creation because we possess meta-cognition. That's the reason we can survive in Sahara as well as Siberia.

Now to more important things. Why did I share that with you especially with the people who I spoke to directly, again let go of it, you don't owe me anything and you never will, I didn't do you a favor, you don't have to thank me any further, never been a fan of complimentary work, rather I fulfilled my obligation towards you.

You see the dystopian world that we live in? Where every movement of ours is a result of a grand scheme of the supposed people of power in charge. Hell, we are programmed in a way that even the way we think is based on certain choices and decisions that we have to take. Every damn thing that we do in this supposed modern world is an absolute farce. I have a problem with all of it. Be it the education system, the government, the banking system, the financial market, woke brigade, general lack of morality, gender neutrality, transgenders, work over family values, obscenity, general lack of awareness/consciousness, selfishness, lack of empathy, forced vaccinations. I could go on and on and yeah I should know, I wasted 20 something years of my life getting supposed quality education in engineering, philosophy, psychology, not to forget, the CCIE, CISSP and MCSE, why? Because who wouldn't want to work for Cisco and Bill Gates's Microsoft. Get real, do you guys really think someone who was programmed into thinking that this world is a competition where only the fittest and hardest survive will share the best materialistic thing he possess? Hence the selfishness of people these days, Oh, you guys have no idea how much time I wasted getting these pieces of paper, all of those are absolutely worthless except the purpose that they serve, keeping one a well paid slave for n number of years to his masters. At the end of the day, people don't have any choice, they have to obey their masters or they won't be able to even feed themselves and then they have the audacity to gloat about their freedom of choices. Which given the natural resources of this planet shouldn't be a problem. Our planet is capable of providing for 21 billion people by the way, yet look at how many people starve to death. Where is the justice system?

We have become so unaware of ourselves, that our definition is based on these dystopian choices. Oh, my name is X, I have studied Y, I work for Z, really? This is what we were supposed to be? We are so unaware and so much in ignorance that forget living, we don't even realize or think about what's waiting us, the absolute truth for all of us, death. If a person is unaware of his soul/body/health/limited intellect being temporary, I wouldn't know what to say. Over the past couple of years that I have known you people, I don't even know your actual names, Diggz with his back issues, his own admission on his time ticking, his daughter, Aussi with his recent admission, Dingo with other things and a lot of others in general. We all suddenly become well wishers and rightly so but deep down we know the next one may not have a positive outcome. Yeah sure, we are all going to die but for what? Was it to trade? Earn billions? Be great mathematicians, engineers? Etc. No. Our purpose of existence cannot be as shallow as that, there has to be a meaning to all of our existence, even death should have an answer as to why it happens. Do we even have a purpose? It would have killed me inside if I didn't share that with you guys before I left. I saw Diggz give and share his best, I just couldn't be a leech and leave in oblivion. Hence the reason I'm sharing the best thing I possess and without it my existence would be pointless with you, it's my understanding of the human being's purpose, at least my objective purpose which would seem a subjective purpose from people with different ideologies, thought processes. Now, different people with different ideologies, religions, atheists, agnostics or whoever else exists may and will disagree but their is no compulsion you see, all I had to do is to put forward my message. I'm not interested in changing/converting/debating people. That's not my priority at all. I tried to keep it as simple as possible and leave philosophical discourse on the side.

Financial freedom can get your soul out of that slave shell and then make you think about what's really important. And the more people who are not sheep, the better.

My definition is not someone named X with multiple degrees, accolades to his name or even someone who can make a billion dollars, from a certain culture and so on.

I am a massively flawed willingly submissive human being to the One Who created me and His Will. That is the only definition I see fitting for myself and only one I will ever use to be identified as. I helped all of you for Him(royal Him, my creator does not have a gender/possess human qualities/properties). I'm not a good person at all. May be by helping you just one sin of mine in my whole life of sins will be forgiven. That's my hidden agenda. I believe in divine omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence, as well as transcendental morality that flows through Him. I try to live my life and improve myself each passing day accordingly with constant failures. I don't follow any one else, do not and never will bow down to any human being, be it the royals or even the supposed hypothetical king of the world even if consequences were fatal. That's how strong my faith is. You can take my wealth, my health, my blood but not my faith.

Anyway, I wanted to write a lot more, never can put into words though.

I wish for all of you the best of health, happiness and more importantly objective peace. May the One Almighty Who created you, if He does indeed exist, guide you to the right path, get you back to that innate Fitrah truth and help you find that purpose of life.

Apologies if during this time I offended anyone with my words, was never my intention.

Peace Be Unto You.

For me, I've said it for a long time now .... Trading is a direct and indirect reflection of Life. People don't need "talks" by some nitwit on TED or some escapist attitude, they need proper self responsibility. A loooong time ago, it was called .... maturity. It's the same with trading. You have to approach it in a holistic way, in a way that includes all the pieces. Otherwise, you'll be forever wondering why something isn't working or worse .... stops working for no apparent reason.

For eg., if you use monthly levels, levels of what exactly? If it's just coming straight off the price chart, therefore it's self generating those levels, that's a little precarious. Price behaviorism is not trading, it's speculating. Now this might be fine for people doing their trading through a practice account but for someone operating one or more real accounts this is not sufficient. You need 'better' knowledge than this.

As to those people who believe you can learn to trade without thinking, I mean real thinking, then that's a problem. Someone like Aussi or myself (or anyone else around of course with the experience) know that experience has many ingredients. Exposure to the reality of modern day private individual trading is one area. I would suggest a person create a drawn up blueprint and learn, instead of just copying anyone. Don't trust or rely on your brain to remember everything.

People who say 'fundamentals are useless' - my impression is you do not understand what a fundamental IS. Not the rot people go on and on about, but real to life methodology of how the real world impacts a "market". And to technicals..... they're simply a driving dashboard. They're not perfect and they're DEFINITELY not accurate all the time.

I find it fascinating how people go on about manipulation of the markets and the brokers' games and all this, yet, when you ask them to step away from "trading" and put real life in perspective, they have a rather limited capacity for it. Now why is that? No care factor? Too ashamed or embarrassed to admit some kind of ignorance? People say to me - "this is a trading website .... blah blah blah" .... but really, Life encapsulates all of it so you cannot say you understand one thing without appreciating the other things.... otherwise you are just blindly following in a shadow.

Calling people sheeple or something else doesn't help. Despite the tendency to appear to be acting the same way, people NEED a reason to choose differently, to DO differently. AND it needs to be a strong enough reason to respond, not act or react. Let's say for eg., that Aussi is in hospital because he LOVES eating bacon, and over the years he's simply eaten too much and now his body is showing him this fact. It's not fun and probably uncomfortable and painful, but it cannot be ignored..... lest worse consequences follow. It's the same with trading.

I know many will poo-poo all this, but really, you cannot expect to BE respected as a human if you have given away the very ingredients that MAKE you a human. Trading, really, is just some silly activity that we all embellish to be something more. So if it disappeared forever, what would you have?

As my mother once said to me - the deeper the hole you dig for yourself, the harder it is to look up and see what's happening around you AND to you.

As far as I can see right now, people have some things to research and discuss that are FAR MORE important than "trading". But you'd need to use foresight to see further down the road to view what 'could be', if things remain on their present course and do not change. So change the conversation and things can change. Change the list of priorities and things can change.

Trading is as stupid or relevant as you make it. Real life always catches up.

As usual, just my input, take or leave it.



Peter

Jr where are you ? This is my demo with LtcUsd ,just learning ,let me know if i was wrong on long trade.

Wise words Peter

I like hearing people's perspectives because I learn a lot from it. So far all I can say that I'm glad to have been apart of this small community of very dynamic people.

I am gonna give my opinion from my layman's perspective. All I can share is from my own experience.

I have watched and had a chance to chat to maybe 8+ people who made a few million bucks from trading. The top two(based on the highest profitability factor) is Digger and another Digger(haha quite interesting that they chose this name and both love focusing on Gold).

I'm gonna just focus on these 2 for now and say they are both from different walks of life. Their approach is 100% opposite, one uses naked chart and the other is more detailed in process. They are both more profitable than any other trader I have come across. And by watching both and studying how they approach their trading. I realized that this is a 'personal' journey and one can never stop learning but also one has to admit to their strengths and weaknesses and work with what they have access to and find a way around this.

In short by finding a way to making a lot of money in my view doesn't mean now you have the answer to life and your way is the way. But definitely it means you found an answer to your own path. All you can do is share your perspective and hope that others learn from it.

I may not have much money, a job, an alive business (loool!) , a successful trading journey but I have been placed in places where I had to see for myself that everything is relative to your "own" understanding.

I am sitting here thinking back... I slept under a desk in class for some years, cleaned myself up from basins with cold freezing cold water in winter during my studies not because I loved to be in class but because I had no place to go and the securities from then allowed me to stay there. Then fast forward years later to me with Dusty shoes(from running) to a boardroom meeting with some Fagazi discussing my presentation. And having to lie that my car is parked on the other end knowing very well I had no car lol. Then some years later sitting in high-end private estate with possibly some banking mafia being asked to solve an issue I had never come across before.

Then to a point where my wife said 'I know you are usually not phased by people in power, but I think you should think about your family's safety and leave this deal"...i was in a real movie from time to time in my life . Then I am sitting here thinking wtf is my path lol. I just want some cash to pay off some vultures and take myself on vacation with my loyal partner.

Why did i just drop that last bit? Because we all going through different shit in our lives and here in Aussi's corner we just met to learn from each other about trading(young and old). Just be humble when you get to your destination and try your utmost not to be on a tall shiny horse. Money tends to do that to people. Just keep a cool head we just trying to find our way amongst all our experiences.

Fibz

hmmm ... don't believe the speaker is a "nitwit", he seemed credentialed from the internet searches I did before providing the link, his aim being "outside the box" thinking ... similar to how you use Fibs in a different way in some of your posts.
Also as I am eager to become a better trader and learn from proven traders, there are many on this thread, I searched for your credentials but could not find anything ... maybe you can assist being a Full Time Trader ...
... thanks

To me, it's common sense. Nothing fancy just straight down the line. People assume they have all the time in the world, they don't.


Peter

My comment re: that video and its speaker, is not personal towards you. But yes he is a nitwit. anyone who gets up to give a "talk" about generating common sense, to me is a nitwit. Anyone re: "TED" can get up and talk. This is why I have little to no respect for these people who take advantage of people and their seeming naivete or ignorance. Many people just don't practice good healthy common sense anymore and it seems, this is why these "talks" get attention and the spotlight. So there's no 'outside the box' with them, just a 2 sided road = lazy thinking and active thinking. There is a point where opinion must part ways with a situation because it cannot feed it to progress. It's the same with trading.

"Proven traders" can mean anything. For me, I use common sense. THAT is my credential. People who seek people on these sites with TE etc etc or status, need to readdress their necessity for what they're doing. I have learned that a sensible approach is profitable, consistent, applicable in any market and any style of conditions. But this is not achievable while seeking anything less than a well formed blueprint of the financial markets or your specific market of choice. Yes it takes time to complete. Yes it requires a lot of you, but it's worth it. You need to know yourself and need to get to know the market/s. People are too busy curve fitting ideas etc instead of just flowing with a market until they see all of its "cycles". All of its 'hands'. While doing this, make notes, keep a log or journal .... don't expect you brain to remember everything.

Beware of stories. Like an idea but always verify through your own private investigations and evaluations. Learn to see all 3 sides of a situation. It's always present and is a healthier way to approach your trading activities.

Peter

PS - I like my privacy so I don't advertise. I hope that helps.

jr , I apologize Ms Munchie , no time at the moment to do much other than get a few of my own off , you dont need anybody anyway , you got this , you did an awesome job , your lite coin still putting a whooping on the rest of the birds of a feather , I didnt catch any of the longs , will see if an afternoon delight can amount to anything . have a good week end all

Jr i just want to trade with for weekend to make brightening weekend nothing serious like the other week .Have a nice weekend Jr .

again a gap on AUS200 ALLWAYS NICE TO GET THE CASH FOR THOSE WHO NEED SOME MONEY

I see a retest of the 200 Ema,
Then a possible bullish continuation ??

I see a possible 1800.10 as the target for today ???

I opened short positions from H3 too late so stopped out at Little BE+. Several long ones opened on time. Part closed at +10 pips, runners left.
Edit : runners closed at prev. Day open.

jr , a few shorts , see how they do while doing chores if anything , have a great one all

I think your thinking is probably gonna cost you a lot till you learn to quit thinking ,,,,,,, if this and or but that dont pay many bills , or make many shekels,,,,,,if still holding your "thought " from friday ,that should be in the account ,,, not under that far ,,, just my "thought " but as said then,,,,,,, too each their own ,, I prefer to get payed ,

Have a great week all ,,,,,,, as always collect all ya want , the sob will make more ,,,, cheers folks

This is a great example for a learning thread.
I personally do OK, certainly no where near the profits of several others here but my account is nowhere near the size.
Here is a great example of differing views on XAUUSD
I have immense respect for both these traders ...
On one hand Dingoman-two https://www.metalsmine.com/thread/po...4#post13703454, target 1800.
On the other Digger jr, https://www.metalsmine.com/thread/po...1#post13703721 he suggests the opposite, drop to 1783 approx.
My interest to become better is to find out the reasons why each has chosen their direction.
Would really appreciate like to hear from both
