If you have more sex sessions per week than total trades then you are doing it properly 
win:win
Love the humor! Unfortunatly according to your theory, I am not doing it properly. I either need to make less trades or have sex more often.
Some of my favorite quotesâŚ
"aim for the stars and you may reach the moon"
donât remember if I said that or if itâs a famous quote
"time and pressure"

"It only goes up and down, doesnât get any simpler than that"

Thats a given San⌠unfortunately were out numbered⌠most trade the 5 & 15m TFâs⌠the mind boggles??? LOL!!!
Hereâs my favourite⌠âyou want a guarantee in life? [B]Buy a toaster[/B]!â :18:
Asking about perectages that fulltime traders make is one thing. That is understandable. But asking about specific dollar amounts is another.
I come from a ranching world. everyone owns large spreads, everyone talks about how business is going, but no one asks âHow many head you got?â or âhow many acres is the spread?ââŚ
You dont ask someone about specifics of there incomes⌠especially not onlineâŚ
Just likeâŚ
You dont ask a woman about her age.
You dont ask her how much she weighs.
You dont ask a man how his wife is in bed.
You dont ask about her bra size.
You dont ask a rancher about specifics of his herd.
But see, there again youâve underestimated the power of anonymity.
Think youâd get truthfulness there?
Think again.
If this WERE that type of forum, every guyâs gal would be a Playboy centerfold. And he would be built like a Greek god, and last longer than the Energizer bunny.
In reality, he would probably look like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons, and she looks and sounds like Rosanne Barr.
The good thing about this place is, there are enough people here that can see someone spouting crappola, and usually call them on it.
Keep reading, and youâll be able to separate the wheat from the chaff soon enough, and you wonât even need to see a 1099 from the broker.
I think thatâs exactly what Strauss-Kahn said just before he ran out of the hotel.
I (obviously) read this thread daily because itâs quite interesting.
Let me say this (after very careful thought):
If I MYSELF were making 100K per day / week / month / year Iâd have NO problem âshowing offâ to the world just as long as my tax affairs etc. were in order. I mean to say: whatâs the âbig dealâ if everybody on the Internet knows how much youâre making in MONETARY terms if itâs THAT much??? Itâs something to be proud of in my opinion!!! I mean letâs face it: itâs public information (by law) that the entire world can find out at any time what the CEOs of the big investment firms are making annually (although in all probability those figures quoted on their financial statements, you can bet, are the âabsolute verifiable minimumsâ. Ever heard of âcreative accountingâ???)!!! LOL!!!
As I noted previously though: Iâm NOT YET making that type of money (so at best, if ever, youâll only ever find me quoting percentage gains UNTIL THEN)!!! LOL!!! But WHEN it happens I promise you Iâll give you all âread-onlyâ access to my trading account!!!
And WHEN it happens: FIRST THING IâM DOING is buying plane tickets and making five-star hotel reservations for a week for an âall expenses paid week of debaucheryâ for those of you who are âcloseâ to me here and have been supportive and helpful to me over the years!!! LOL!!! After that (and assuming Iâm still ALIVE after the excesses of the week): next stop is New York to go buy âCharging Bullâ (the REAL one in Bowling Green and while Iâm there I may as well go and buy whatâs left of the genuine miniatures from Arturo. You know. Get it all over with âone timeâ)!!! LOL!!! After that: Iâll be off to âbuyâ my Finnish bride (thatâs going to cost a lot given who she is)!!! LOL!!! And then, well, thereâs things like an apartment overlooking Central Park, my own office space INSIDE the NYSE, what else??? Limos and drivers to take me to the office to check on MY trading room (you know: make sure that my âTurtlesâ are following my trading systems âto the letterâ), lunch at Ramseyâs restaurant in New York. Hmmmnnn⌠Given enough time Iâm sure this could be a WAY longer post!!! LOL!!!
Letâs face it: IF NOTHING ELSE this business gives you âhopes and dreamsâ!!! LOL!!!
(And let it be noted Iâm not drinking today even although itâs a public holiday here i.e. local elections today so no excuses for this post)!!! LOL!!!
Regards,
Dale.
âAll I want for Christmasâ (âfrom this businessâ)!!! LOL!!! (That rhymes)!!! (Sorry: only five attachments allowed per post so I had to be âdiscretionaryâ and leave out the pictures of Manhattan and the motorized yacht)!!! LOL!!!
I agree with you Dale. While my account is small Iâm willing to reveal percentages. No trading yesterday, too busy. Day before that lost 2% and won 4% for a net gain of 2%. When the account gets big enough Iâll brag on $ gains. 
Hello,
Well think about. Whatâs the WORST that could happen if the whole world knew that you were making a few hundred thousand USD, EUR, or GBP per month or a few million USD, EUR, or GBP per annum (AFTER TAX)??? You could get kidnapped (and you can buy insurance cover for that). And of course youâd be inundated with people asking you to loan money or trying to sell you something and to me this would be no different from where Iâm âatâ now i.e. having to repeatedly respond to the questions like âwhich broker is best?â or âcan I make 900% ROI each and every single trading day?â LOL!!! Iâd treat the people wanting to loan money or trying to sell me something with the same contempt!!! LOL!!! Other than those two POSSIBLE ânegativesâ I donât see the problem!!! LOL!!!
Tell ya what: WHEN I reach that stage (if itâs before you that is) Iâll let you know if Iâm right or wrong on the above!!! LOL!!!
And actually this just reminded me of one of those old anecdotes that goes something along the lines of âmoney doesnât bring you happinessâ. While that MAY be true: Iâd rather cry on the back seat of an armour-plated limo than in the front seat of a Volkswagen Beetle!!! LOL!!!
And donât let anybody tell you that âfailure builds characterâ and âwill make you a better personâ!!! I lived in the âpoorhouseâ long enough after my âspectacular wipeoutâ and Iâll tell you that it didnât make ME ANY nicer of a person or âbuild my characterâ. All it did was make me âbitter and twistedâ and more resolute than ever to get back to where I was, and then where I want to be (as described above), at ALL and at ANY cost (the point being that the words âALLâ and âANYâ would not have featured before that)!!! LOL!!! So âGordon Gecko having stepped aside: thereâs a new âcu*tâ on the blockâ!!!
Regards,
Dale.
Donât think Iâve ever seen you do a 180 in a single paragraph before Dale⌠read it again! Sounds to have been a pretty convincing âCharacter buildingâ experience to me? Now exactly what kind of âcharacterâ has emerged from this is a whole other thread and probably forum! LOL!!!
I thought that in the sequel⌠err⌠the âgentlemanâ⌠Mr Gecko⌠after returning from his vacation, âborrowedâ a $100mill and was still out there? :eek:
ROFLOL!!!
Hello.
I donât know. I never saw the sequel as I was told it wasnât anywhere near as good as the original (although when it was released here I WAS going to use it for âambush marketingâ i.e. I wanted to have âblonde short skirtsâ handing out Deltastock leaflets, countrywide, to everyone as they came out of the movie theatre after seeing the movie but my beloved broker, given that we were not registered with our FSB, would not have it. You know that âdo it by the book or donât do itâ type of thing. Opportunity missed unfortunately)!!! LOL!!!
But (and Iâm so glad that itâs you that has just posted so I can include this in a reply to you): I have just arrived back from WALKING to the shops to go and buy cigarettes. Why??? Because we only have one car that belongs to my father and he is using it today (no idea where heâs gone but anyway). My beautiful Chrysler 300C and Mercs were repoâd not too long after my âspectacular wipeoutâ!!! And I couldnât help but laugh (to myself) while WALKING to the shops and back thinking about my âAll I want for Christmasâ post above!!! LOL!!! I mean: does anybody see the âironyâ or âstark contrastâ here??? ROFLOL!!! But itâs a funny (personal) thing i.e. over the years EVERY STEP (and I mean that literally) has made me EVEN MORE resolute!!! Alright: things are not so bad now. At least NOW I can afford the cigarettes (and rum)!!! LOL!!! Put it this way: there is ONE GOOD thing that CAN come from being in the âpoorhouseâ??? It does wonders for your figure!!! Back in those days I weighed around 150kg (and Iâm about 5" 9â tall). Now, and in spite of the copious amounts of rum and Coke that I âforceâ down my gullet when the mood takes me (and as noted I can at least afford now), Iâm down to just over 100kg!!! LOL!!!
Hey: I know that being THIS âopen and honestâ is probably not good for business. But âwhat the hellâ. I believe that I will (sooner rather than later) BUY my âChristmas Wishlistâ and as long as I believe that: Iâm âgood to goâ!!! LOL!!!
Like I said: this business at VERY least affords one hope!!! Has anybody ever thought how âpricelessâ that is (this business)??? Like no other business on earth: you could âjust make itâ, you could make enough to âlive comfortablyâ, or you could make enough to become known as a âfilthy rich pigâ (guess who???)!!! The point is: itâs ALL UP TO YOU!!! There IS no limit!!! And I believe it can be done!!! And I donât believe that the same could be said for any other business.
And another thing that I was thinking about during my WALK to the shops was âFloored - The Movieâ (which I know you appreciated). ASIDE from some very common character traits that REAL traders, it would appear, share: did you happen to notice that WITHOUT EXCEPTION every SINGLE ONE OF THEM stressed the importance of RISK AND MONEY MANAGEMENT (each in their own âendearingâ way)!!! âCut your losses short and let your winners runâ. That type of thing.
Regards,
Dale.
Edit:
My thread about âFloored - The Movieâ has probably become one of those âcorpse threadsâ by now (I love that description)!!! So I thought Iâd give it a bit of a âbumpâ here given the subject matter of this thread. I believe that this movie (itâs actually a documentary not a movie) should be the first module of any trading course e.g. âTrading 101 - Preambleâ (or something like that)!!! LOL!!!
This documentary illustrates whatâs possible i.e. what this business can do FOR you and what this business can do TO you. And these are traders âwith THE edgeâ. And donât for one minute think that youâre âinsulatedâ because youâre sitting at home or in your nice quiet office trading spot FOREX. The same rules apply.
And while Iâm on the subject (although by now WAY off-topic): buy yourself the CNBC DVD âOctober 87 - Crash and Comebackâ. The best I could find for you was a preview of it on YouTube:
Itâs all about the events leading up to, and the fallout, of what has become known as âBlack Mondayâ.
There are some sites that SAY that you can watch it online but they appear to be âof dubious natureâ to me (they want to install all manner of things before you are, apparantely, able to watch the documentary online).
Every time I watch this DVD I wonder!!! Right now: our interest rates are the lowest theyâve been for decades. Already: weâre starting to see banks offering 110% mortgages (no down payment) and finance companies offering âfantasmagorical dealsâ i.e. buy a vehicle at the (current) low, but variable, interest rate, over 60 years, with a 99% residual value or balloon payment (obviously Iâm exaggerating here, BUT ONLY BY A LITTLE, but I think you âget the pictureâ). Do want to tell me that this is not going to happen again (1929, October 87, 2008, to name but a few âkeyâ dates)??? Itâs going to happen again. The only difference: THIS time IâLL be on the RIGHT side of the trade!!! LOL!!!
I agree with you on that. Percentage would be fine. On the other side, I believe there is a difference in asking woman sort of those things you mentioned and just asking in the blind (not to call a name) who can deliver evidence.
Another thing is that I do not believe that those answers would deliver anything useful. Because that one can make it doesnât mean another can do it or that the same guy can do it again. As I wrote already.
edit: Another point what I can understand, that he wants to know something like: âIf this guy says he is great in doing it and giving advice to others, I would like to know his words are where his money is.â Again, I am with you that percentage would be fine for that. Plus M. Tang is right that even this is no warranty for nothing. I can tell I have a billion dollars and every single day I make 10% more, lol. Who can give evidence it is or it is not so? I could even tune some bank accounts with photoshop, as some do with paper money, lol.
So, at the very end we are back at ourselfes. Our wishes, our beliefs and everything else. We all know there are people who did it. There are also lottery winners out there. Then there are billionaires who got it from speculation or other businesses. Itâs just that those who managed to do it are a tiny percentage to those who fail. And my personal belief is, that if you start asking questions who relate to much on others, you set yourself already one inch closer to the failure line. To be successful in this society we all have to find our âthingâ. Copyandpaster folks wonât gain anything. You can learn things from others, but at least itâs your or my money and our decisions what counts.
Hello again.
Your avatar ALWAYS âinspiresâ me too!!! Never change it!!!
Just to be clear: when I was referring to âGordon Geckoâ I was NOT referring to you Buckscoder!!! LOL!!!
Regards,
Dale.
Oh yeah, just throw it to me! I have an inch thick skin from trading.
LOL. I am kidding.
By the way I never saw the sequel. I never watch sequels. Just the first movie. I guess sequels are like if you mount a stock with a sausage to a dog. So he is running and never gets the sausage, lol. Can you see any similarities to the forex market?
ROFLMAO!!! Thatâs TOO funny for words!!! LOL!!!
Regards,
Dale.
Edit:
And by the way: donât anybody go blaming ME for my inane posts today. At the time of posting this the Dow Futures has a nett change of 14 points since midnight last night (EET or GMT+2) so Iâm daydreaming is all!!! LOL!!! Any complaints: call NYSE EURONEXT (and while youâre on the phone ask them if theyâre actually open today)!!! LOL!!!
interesting thread
Hello.
Well: we all do our best to entertain (if nothing else) on quiet days!!! LOL!!!
