If you’ve asked here a couple of times already and didn’t get a satisfactory answer, maybe you need to ask elsewhere. There are only so many active members here and those that had an opinion…gave it.:rolleyes:
It could be so much worse —
— he could be asking whether forex is gambling!
Hey ya guys! In regard to Mj2009’s question, what I use is Oanda news. I’m not sure if you can access it without an Oanda account though. But you can open a demo account and then just click on the ‘News’ tab on the left side of your platform and you’re good to go
I hope this helped
Hey Sweet Pip and Master Tang! I missed you in the chatroom today
haha, well it depends what your definition of gambling is…
I have a mini account but haven’t used or funded it yet, but actually I recieved 2 relevant responses in this thread and thanks for that.
Man the egos at babypips , lol, I would think that most here are millionaires, but probably not.
Call me crazy but I have an idea! How about, IF you don’t have an answer then you don’t reply!!!
… But then the ego complex can’t be shown, so that won’t work … As far as gamblingis concerned, you are making bets or buying currency? Think about it and don’t … Ut oh, don’t think to hard!
Hello,
Well I know I’ve posted this link before somewhere but here’s one: Economic Calendar | Forex Economic Calendar
Also: the trading platform (Delta Trading) has a live news feed (I can attest to the fact that the news feed is updated ALMOST instantaneously after a news release and there has been occasion when the news feed was updated a few split seconds BEFORE the likes of Bloomberg and CNBC but no it’s not the norm so don’t get TOO excited). Unfortunately: it’s only operational on live accounts.
Regards,
Dale.
Thanks Dale, I was just looking for the main source of news, it seems all these sites are just ‘middlemen’ for the news and I can’t find any official source for thenews feed.
And this question isn’t for trading, I would just like to know the official source, it just seems like, Alot of people just go with the flow and don’t understand the order of events.
No, I didn’t lol.
I don’t recall asking for ‘any’ opinion, I was asking for a news source & a couple replies actually helped!.
[B]Let me google this for you![/B]
OH THANK YOU for pointing that out !!! I mean I was about to ask if you had an opinion, but now I don’t have to ask!
Lol, I indeed switch too often between news sites that I guess my opinion would make sense to anybody.
Beside of this I do of course care about everybody and anything. Particularly about anybodies money in my account.
Ohhh … so you are one of the rare Gordon Gekko’s of Forex.
The Forex Millionaire?
& they say arrogance doesn’t make you money … HA I say, Buckscoder will prove you wrong!
Oh, so arrogance DOES make you money?
Man, now I know where I went wrong.
No, I just take care of money what others throw away. My heart is bleeding if I see how those heartless ppl throw their cute pips away. Those little pips have a feeling for that and then they come to me. Here in my account they find a real home and then they feel much better, because I do take care of them as nobody else does.
Like I said, Arrogance makes you money. Makes you a millionaire, I mean look at your avatar …
It doesn’t say
- “I’m full of myself” or
- “I Can do it better then hollywood” or
- “I show this avatar to let people know I’m a winner” or
- “Yeah, I have to show this pic of Gordan Gecko to show who I am, Because I can’t be myself & I need to prove my success to everyone!”
It doesn’t say anything of that nature …
What it says is “I am a millionaire! & I am #1”
God, what is your bank information? I might as well take my low earnings of only about $2,000 {no where near millionaire status} & deposit them into your account Or would you just rather have the 800ish pips I have earned? your choice champ.
While I am at it, I hope you have USAA because I will take my roth IRA savings & just transfer them to you …
Ha ha, my avatar. I guess everybody can interpret whatever he likes with my avatar. I just like the movie and I like to make pips. My former avatar mentioned: “Biggest loser”.
If you like, call me a loser. I have no problem with that. It just needs a little humor to survive in this shark basin of crazy forex. I do not want to become everybodies darling. Eat or die!
Frankly, those forums are more entertainment than serious information. If I would believe what I read everywhere, I’d have lost my account long ago.
There is one rule and that is a very important rule: Winners play a lone hand.
Quoting one of my favorite movies words “symbolism”.
Biggest loser to gordon gecko … quite the transformation!
I didn’t call you a loser, actual you are a winner, I literally want to give you all of my earnings. Every last penny of all my accounts.
& for anyone to assume that this isn’t any form of entertainment, well that is on them.
1 rule: winners play a lone hand … ah that is BullS*&t, Some people are loners & some people are more social and team-players, that doesn’t determine success.
If you work hard and stick to the fundamentals, you are more likely to succeed, factors such as sticking to being a ‘lone hand’ only factor on an individual basis, but not as a rule of thumb for everyone. You are a loner & work better by yourself.
In my experience, people who are ‘loners’ have a control issue & need to make all the calls, this could be good or bad … again, just in my experience.
hey mj2009, i want a psycho-analysis of my avatar please! me next me next!
Well, your symbolism interpretation is yours. As I said, I have really no problem with that. It’s indeed not what comes from my intention. I see Gordon Gekko more as victim of the socialistic age and I do not want to step in his trail. I play fair, even with the government, although I know they are thieves.
It’s like looking at price charts. What do you see? Is what you see what is going on or is it what you want to see?
Regarding money and my account. I am a newbie, which I stated everywhere and I will be a newbie in 5 years, too. There is always something to learn. I do not know if you are kidding with your money or not. Right now I guess I have a probability higher than 50% to survive and make consistent profits. But that is not guaranteed. So, I do not manage others money. Beside of some very [U]very[/U] close friends. Sorry for that. I can just be responsible for myself, but I am hard to be responsible for others or their money.
It still needs the evidence that I will survive. Next year I could have blown my accounts. Nobody knows the future. My goal is tough. I want to get one billion dollars. As long as inflation is not too high.
Regarding teams and loners: I am both, just in different topics and in different times. Teams have an advantage over loners in some topics and vice versa in other topics. If it comes to money I see way more advantages of loners than teamplayers. Sure, not for every loner. You need to have skills that set you apart from the herd. If you are a sheeple, you will hardly survive as loner.
However, all this hype, talking about team players, soft skills and all that is just that: A hype. No, a sick hype. You may have a good team or a bad team and the bad team will not become better while praying about soft skills. A really good team is where all members do their work, use their skills and are open to learn and are loyal in the best of its word. I am thankful that I could work with such teams sometimes in my life. Anyways, it’s not the average. The average is whispering workers behind their boss and silence if they get asked. [U]That[/U] is sick, not a loner with skills.
I need to know your previous avatar, the ‘transition’ stage is what I specialize in, for example … if your previous avatar is a ‘summer’ theme … then your new one would indicate to me ‘fall’.
This transition period is CRUCIAL for me to make a proper psycho-analysis.
The key is Synergy! and I came to that conclusion without having an MBA (if you can believe that!)
