So this is the proof market is buy / sell almost real time, not every brokers connect our account in demo, btw how this system works exactly ? any brokers here ?
Yep, including the $2 I gave up todayâŚ
Daily volume $4500000000000
Today $1000000000002
lol, yep ⌠1T, plus piptronixâs 2 bucks.
By the way, is there a website where one can follow trade volume for the different sessions?
O.
rofl!!!
You mean like volume spread analysis?
there are a few guys on this site who are into that.
I think Purple patch is one of them.
Also Pete faderâŚor somethingâŚ
Anyway, he has a whole thread on VSA
See if you can get in touch with them to pint you in the right direction.
Ok, will try that, thanks.
Hehe, Iâd hoped that one of you guys were into that, coz I was too lazy to google it ⌠holiday feeling.
O.
So back on topic, did u made 2470 from 2,47 or not?
Whoa ⌠EURUSD just dropped like 80+ pips in 5 minutes.
Looks like [B]some[/B] people are awake, hehe.
And Gold dropped about 40 bucks in the last 36 or so hours ⌠BC will cry. 
O.
Ahem âŚ

Hehe, yesyesyes ⌠your favourite bedtime story.
The way you keep on going about this book, I guess I gotta buy it one day.
O.
Listen: Iâve spent SIX YEARS reading Wilderâs first book âNew Concepts In Technical Trading Systemsâ so this is NOTHING yet!!! LOL!!!

I have to agree with you 100% on the above (about BabyPips and the Mods). Even after all THIS time (of mine spent here) they donât âcut me any slackâ either (although I do try to âpush the envelopeâ on occasion). Iâve posted on other forums and the one that âgot to me mostâ was âForexProsâ. A new trader had asked a question and I went to a lot of time and trouble answering their query or at least giving my opinion (it really was one of my âbetterâ posts especially given that I never posted over there too often). Only after careful inspection did I notice that between my composing my REAL post with SUBSTANCE at least two other âidiotsâ had posted something like links to condoms and eyewear and after my post there were some or the other useless links to other âjunkâ (if I remember correctly one was to a porn site AND NO I NEVER LOOKED) so the whole point of the thread just got lost and, well, the new trader never learned a darn thing. To make matter worse: it stayed that way for at least a week and only after I complained were those other posts removed AND I (as in ME) was banned for being ârudeâ to the administrators and telling them that âoviously this site is not policed very wellâ!!! LOL!!! Can you beat that??? LOL!!!
Regards,
Dale.
Thanks for the compliment (I think)!!! LOL!!!
But I was just thinking to myself today: why is this THE ONLY business where people think that making TOTALLY unrealistic gains are possible??? I mean: even GAMBLERS (alright: I donât know too many of them) donât have expectations like some of the new traders that post??? I mean: once or twice in a LIFETIME does a HIGHLY QUALFIED and EXPERIENCED trader make astronmical gains (like George Soros ONCE and some other guy that bet against the housing bubble i.e. I forget his name now but he was being interviewed on Bloomberg TV the other day) and even THEN I think quite a bit of âluckâ played itâs part too. But those types of gains only happend with the VERY informed few and THEN only, as I say, once in a lifetime. While at the same time: somebody who is currently a pizza delivery man at college, comes across the âwonderful world of tradingâ, and expects 10% PER DAY, $100 to $1 000 000 in four months, or, of course, in the case of our dear leandar DOUBLE your money EVERY DAY!!! LOL!!! That type of thing. Iâve never quite been able to figure out why, when these âestimationsâ are made: LOSSES are NEVER taken into account. Neither are withdrawals. At least THAT much I can say for myself: I wasnât âdrawn into this businesâ because I believed Iâd retire in a week. I was âdrawnâ to it because Iâd always had a keen interest in it and wanted to find out âwhat made it tickâ (and, alright, by that time I was getting too âlazy ar*eâ to run around collecting money from clients that didnât want to pay for services rendered and crawling in ceilings to lay network cables). And yes: on my first demo account I made something like $3 000 in three days trading only USD/ZAR and THAT was with a $50 000 demo account!!! But even I knew that it was nothing other than pure luck and was in NO way sustainable. Itâs a really odd phenomenon really. And it puts people with a little bit of experience in a bit of âtight spotâ. I mean: you donât want to âkillâ the new traderâs enthusiasm but how do you tell them that theyâre âsmoking their socksâ in a nice way??? You see what I mean???
Regards,
Dale.
Yeah, itâs about the same with ForexFactory, which is why I havenât bothered to register there ⌠even though I occasionally check it, coz some posts are informative.
But I donât like the general tone there ⌠and I think 80% of FFâs posters are just braggarts, telling everybody how successful they are, while probably just eating their last portion of 29-cent instant noodles.
From what Iâve seen so far, BabyPips pwns (no typo, Iâm just âbeing hipâ, lol) all of those sites easily.
Hehe, I actually thought Mods were cutting FX-Men Honorary Members some slack?
Regarding the two books: Iâll check on them ⌠they seem to be somethng like the Old and New Testament to you.
lol, even though the second one (containing âAdamâ) seems to be the Old Testament, so, opposite order.
Cheers,
O.
Yeh, no, look: FF members are not the most âfriendlyâ for some reason or the other. Your phrase of âthe general tone thereâ is âspot onâ.
Nah: no âslackâ at all. Iâm just lucky (now and then) to âfly under the radarâ I think. What Iâve figured though: itâs normally a member that complains if, for example, Iâve posted my email address in a post. WHY that should make a difference to ANYONE is beyond me but anyway!!! And, well, thereâs been one or two occasion where I have INDEED gone WAY âoverboardâ (being âpis*edâ on both occasions) and been outright rude. Alright: on those occasions I think they DID âcut me some slackâ because the posts were BAD man. Had I not been around here for so long I think I would have been banned!!! LOL!!!
Regarding Wilderâs books: âAdam Theoryâ Iâm just âplaying withâ (but of course TODAY I âfeel like a kingâ but had Adam been wrong Iâd be âcrying like a babyâ I assure you). But the thing is (as noted somewhere): the only time Iâve ever made any real money has been with Wilderâs trading systems in âNew Concepts In Technical Trading Systemsâ so why should I doubt (at least not without giving it a chance) any of his later work??? There is ONE MORE book of his that I want to âget my hands onâ and itâs something about âBuilding Wealthâ which, try as I might, Iâve never been able to get a reasonable discussion going here on the subject. âTrader psychologyâ seems to dictate that weâre all going to just âtrade until the cows come homeâ but is that âbuilding wealthâ??? As we ALL know: THAT type of âwealthâ can dissapear VERY quickly and the reviews Iâve read about that book are quite something.
Regards.
Dale.
lol, yah, I seem to recall one or two posts of you (in the MT thread) that werenât exactly friendly ⌠but sometimes clear words are needed to make people understand.
Any newbie reading that MT thread would think you should never use MT ⌠which is plain wrong.
What you gotta do is choose your broker carefully, to be sure MTâs features arenât used to fleece you.
And you made that clear, in no uncertain terms, hehe.
âNew Concepts in Technical Trading Systemsâ sounds interesting ⌠and definitely relevant for us.
O.
Nah. I hope it will drop a little more and then Iâll buy some. Only thing if fiber droops as well I canât buy it cheaper, lol.
margin call happened in 140 pips wrong side move in 10 open orders on 6 currency pairs
lot 1 = $10 per pip
I still dont understand what is it that you were trying to do.
Its easy to pick up and reinforce bad habits. They will be a pain to undo later.
