Mp -- Some Of My Non-secret Secrets

Beginner Questions
1098

Finally found the quote that I was looking for over the weekend:

You cannot win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

But then again, I also had a moment of clarity.

I’ve been looking at forex for almost two years. I saw one of those infomercials for some sort of forex trading signal software. I had never heard of forex before and thus began my journey.

Back in October I finally started to really look into forex with a more serious eye. I found that there were plenty of sites out there with forums and thousands of trading styles, systems and scams.

I’ve now spent four months demoing various systems and styles. I have a binder with probably about eight different systems in there that I spent time trying out. Nothing I tried ever worked. Even those systems that posters touted that their 4 yr olds could do. Nothing worked for me.

Then I was invited by MP to take a look at his thread. I came over, read the first page, scratched my head and kept going. Fortunately, the thread was only about twenty pages back then, so it didn’t take long. Then I reread it, and started trying this out. All the while I was learning. Not a system, but learning about the market. How it moves, how it breathes, where its going.

I understand that the senior members of the board use a variety of different methods to trade with. I’m 100% sure that every trading philosophy does not work for everyone.

Sadly, due to egos, bruised toes, hurt pride, whatever, a place of learning has become a pissing match.

I went back to the beginning of this thread and saw the amount of knowledge that was passed on. I looked over the last few pages and extrapolated a tiny bit of know to add to my databank.

I’ve never hidden the fact that I like MP. I like his teaching methods, his sense of humor has even my wife laughing (and she doesn’t understand a thing about forex). I’m just saddened by the fact that he is no longer teaching. He has to defend himself (thought I will admit he may not aid his situation with his witty jabs back :rolleyes:) rather than help us along.

So I sit and a wait to learn. I know that it will come around again.

As a alleged communist or co-conspirator, detractor or whatever label my allegiance has earned me, I now barricade my apartment door waiting for the Mind Police to arrive.

MARVELOUS in total, skeebo

mp got one of those “research” binders (about 3 inches thick) when he first delved into researching the stock market, and while published information was normally distributed by word of mouth, it often was placed on clay tablets (NO, do not confuse mp with that 10 commandment guy). His folder is VERY HUGE !

that you started as a “get rich quick and easily” newb and then decided to actually learn about this silly business is what mp lives to hear, and for many years in the stock trading world he was known as “that socialist with a large trading account !”

he IS contrary to the establishment or better yet, likes to release the information they dont really like to put forth, but he’s not special, because his knowledge comes from the world of equities, which tends to be “deeper” than most of the casual attitudes exhibited by new forex traders.

In the stock market, while it now exists, we dont have MT4 and without that, we dont have all those EA’s and stuff that promise to earn money for you while you and your mistress enjoy a quick trip to the bahamas for the night.

so instead, in the equities world, traders have to LEARN to trade, cause there aint nothing that will do it for them.

so the information that mp tossed around was learned the hard way — day by day, win vs loss and rapidly graying hair. He did amazingly well, had a rather large following and was pretty much then what he is now, except that the penny stock market is populated by land sharks who pull the classic “pump and dump” routines, which he went from site to site warning of.

so he became a revolutionary, hated by the establishment (which also includes veteran members on a lot of sites) and became not just a bit of a “don quixote” jousting with windmills.

reviled, tared and feathered and hated by the extreme left brained crowd, he toppled windmills and created a lot of destruction amongst those who would steal from the stock newbs, and one day a sweet blonde, half his age, suggested during some fun that he look at FOREX.

AND HE NEVER WENT BACK TO EQUITIES !

Forex has been described as “the most trending market in the financial world” which is exactly the reason the LRC works and shows everyone what is happening, because forex DOES follow history (at least for the most part)

if mp is “mentally deranged” it is because of his love of trading (and forex is one heck of a trading vehicle, moving pretty constantly) and his desire to protect newbs, based on his socialist leanings. (hey, even the communists are capitalists now)

mp is a forex “geek” and while he no longer uses a thick folder for ideas, he definitely continues to study, look, pinch, pull and tweak anything that can help others to make money.

HIS SPIRIT CANNOT BE DESTROYED and while he reacts to insult as an Israeli to a rocket attack, he simply stands for those horribly outmoded ideas of “truth, justice and the american way” (whatever that happens to be ?)

youre a good guy skeebo, as are the overwhelming majority of posters on this thread — the “powers that be” dont like us and they wish to silence us, but its gonna be one heck of a job to make that completely happen in any manner short of nuclear annihilation !

If they would leave us alone, stop exhibiting their tremendous paranoia and leave the FBI out of it, they would find we can peacefully co-exist, but it will be hard when the administration is faced with “either they go or we (veterans) go !” There sure is something bothering these people, and it sure aint bothering US !

markets are snappy and our overnites should have been great — lets get out there and win one for the gipper !

Anyone care to talk about trading :slight_smile:

I hope everyone is riding the cable back up…after that shootdown past s2, we are having a nice retrace…My long is open to 1.3870…This happens to be the H1’s LRC top, 20BB and S2…

37pips so far.

1101

be careful at 3855

3853 shows on the 15 minute as a probable reversal point for a while (at noon, edst ?)

3872 after that and then serious watching at that point cause all that resistance is saying more than “hello !”

neato observation though — u musta had a good mentor methinks.

its no secret that mp loves the LRC and by extension, guess i do also

had a conversation with a trader months ago and we got into a “water cooler” discussion concerning the DOW.

at that time i saw 7200 on the indicators and LRC and she predicted into the 5500 range.

being conservative i figured we wait till 7200 and make some decisions there, and now i can see nothing but it moving down, INDEPENDENT of whatever news, fundamentals or yelling may be going on.

behind what im saying is the simple fact that the danged LRC repeatedly and constantly amazes me with what it reveals. For me to say that “they” want the price DOWN is a source of constant screaming by others, and YET the danged thing continues down towards the points that the LRC shows.

to say that the market is not “directed” (lets not use the M word) is to miss, either intentionally or thru stupidity, the way the markets work, and what “they” DONT WANT US TO KNOW !

if someone who assumes the mantle of “expert” on this thread can show me the fallacy of my thoughts, i welcome their input.

but if this is simple COINCIDENCE, its pretty danged scary, dont ya think ??

hi Husky,

I was wondering if i could add u to my ym. i had some doubts and would like to ask u why something had happened when the market is moving.

1105

Hear Hear! Agreed! Something along those lines would be fairer than the current system of trial by tymen and co.

1106

I haven’t studied MP’s methods and indicators very much at all, you could probably say I haven’t studied them, period. But I made 169 points last night on the Cable by using his indicators

I’m not saying this will work for you, I’m just saying it works

1107

Well, I was projecting our demise … but apparently it was only yours.

Fu[I]c[/I]k!

hello fellas

TRO told me there were some great things happening here, but is sounds more like a war came through — would that be correct ?

doggie

did you really make that many pips using his indicators

this must be the place to be

how long have you been trading ?

hugs

Hi Suzie

Yes, I really did make that many pips using MP’s indicators. Like I said in my previous post, I haven’t studied his methods and indicators [U]yet[/U], but by using my intellect I could see where the price had been and where it was going. So far I have only utilized a few of the indicators supplied in the template, the rest need to be understood

I’m impressed so far. Last nights trade was a set-and-forget type trade with a Trailing Stop Loss of 20 pips

I’m looking forward to learning more and monitoring my performance

How long have I been trading ? I’ve been studying all aspects of currency trading for over 6 months now, and still have not opened a live account. I’m the type of person who must feel confident with the results of testing, measuring, and tuning one’s systems and strategies before going ‘live’. I would recommend the same to anyone who is starting out in this game

I [B][U]will[/U][/B] be in that 5%

holly golly they banned him again?

:eek:

1112

Was that “mp” ?

I so wanted to say hello.

He had helped my deceased husband learn the stock market, and now I am learning Forex because my husband told me to do that with his money.

suzie

1113

I think so.

If you want to learn forex you have arrived at the right place.

1114

Is that so…hmmmm

I highly recommend reading this thread too…

…And if you want to say hello to TRO, you can do so at kreslik.com…I see some great stuff going on over there…maybe mp could restart over there too…hmmm

:wink:
