Okay so i need an answer to a really important question that’s driving me crazy. I’ve been following a lot of people in the forex industry wether that be professionals or amateurs and i keep seeing the same thing over and over again. When everyone posts there results(there profits and trades with MT4) if you zoom in on the figures you can clearly see a box thats slightly different shade of white. By that i mean it looks like its photoshopped. I’m seeing this with every single person. Even people that i know are actually making real money trading. I’ve been on several if not all of my followers pages and it just isnt adding up and its discouraging me from continuing if almost everyone is lying about making money, It’s making me think that its not realistic to think you can make money in this market. If someone can let me know if im over thinking it or if what i am saying is valid i will attach a picture to the forum for reference. Your feedback is appreciated thank you!
@ywj123 You are definitely over thinking what you are seeing…Interesting theory though…
The reason most of the price information you are seeing is pixelated is because more than likely the images displayed are medium resolution screenshots… Bitmaps, JPEG, PNG files of the traders screen or trading platform.
See example below…
A screenshot/chartshot are one of the only ways to display platform information on a forum, website, blog etc…
Are they all profiting from Forex?..That’s the real question…
I do apologize i should have been a little more clearer. I’m not referring to the pixilation i know that that’s normal. If you turn your brightness all the way up and look at the picture there’s a line above the numbers i tried drawing those lines to show you but i obviously didn’t do a good job lol. That picture was a screenshot from someones page i just zoomed in to show the box around the number. Anyway i might still be over thinking it. I know there are a lot of people that do lie and try to scam but i highly doubt that everyone is and its not like there isn’t people out there making money off of forex.
Care to share some links?
The people who gives screenshot are mostly fake. Do not trust them. This tendency is very severe in forex industry. You won’t find this in other industry. Have you ever seen any businessman showing his profit publicly. No one does this. Matured traders never to do this. People who shows their account screenshot are either scammers or immature.
What does it matter? Trade your own strategy, not someone else’s.
