I'm really glad that you are here to add continuity to the J16 thread. You seem really patient guy, and I am a better trader because of you!

It is an honour for me to give my first voucher to this man. He and James16 are among the most important people in my trading carreer. This man is not only a world class trader but also an inspiring example when it comes to passion, patience and the willingness to help others. He's one of the main reasons why I never gave up even in the darkest hours. Thank you, Mike!

The other guys have said it all allready, but I'll add my words nonethelss, for what its worth.

Thank you very much, for all the patient guidence you offer in the J16 thread.

All the best to you!

Kindest regards,

This man, along with others, have gone out of their way to guide the blind and naive into knowledgable and profitable traders. I am one of them.

Mike, I salute you. *Double thumbs up*

Mike is one of the nicest traders i have ever known.Genius in trading, he could have easily managed a hedge fund(or maybe he does?)and yet still find the time to teach fellow traders and help newbies like me on a daily basis.He will do anything he can to help newbies.An angel in disguise.Thank you brother.GOD BLESS YOU

Great trader... Excellent person. Very helpful guy, always there when you need him.

great person, what else can we say...

Great Person,always there to help,just ask him you will get backfire of answers like a machine gun.
Some answers are bitter some very polite,this is because mike will always give you the best answer for that situation,his answer may sound Good or Bad but ,he is the man for telling you how stuff goes.
Thanks mike.

Mike truly does help out the new guys. Replies to every question with the utmost respect if the poster is truly asking genuinely with respect.

Thank you, and I know I will continually seek you for help and I am just wanting to thank you in advance for the many times to come in the future.

Always there for the new guys, always helpful. One of FF's greats. Plus, he seems to have found a way to function without sleep.

Hi Mike, Can we talk on skype as I need to understand your post # 65204. My skype add is novice198 (rsm198) Cheers

Hi Mike,

Just wanted to thank you again....reading some excellent posts today from Jarroo about dropping down to the lower TF to confirm or watch for pull backs to confirm direction was awesome.....I know you have explained this before...and also wanted to say thanks....got to see this on the 4hr TF and confirmed on the 1 hr TF with several pairs today in the last few hrs.
Many Thanks,
Bill

Hey Bertie

Best to PM me as I rarely see this but just happened to click my name by mistake.

Firstly thanks all for the nice comments. It truly means a lot and I feel the love


As for your question Bertie I always tell people to focus on MAIN ppzs the clear most hugely obvious ones for trades. And then use the minor PPZs to start to help with trade mgmt. This is how I like to tell people to approach it. Also check out this post and some of the ones from Josh's summary post about them they can't miss http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...ostcount=14084 http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...ostcount=23250 Hope that helps Mike

Hi Mike

Wondering if you can help. I am not making much progress at the moment and I am starting to get a bit frustrated at the situation. One of my biggest problems seems to be I still have not completely grasped the plotting of PPZs-when looking at the charts, particularly 4h and daily, I see ppzs all over the place and near each other and this clouds my thinking- any advice on how to overcome this?

your help is much appreciated,

berti

Hi Mike,
I just went through your video on PinBars introduction and I must say apart from being a good trader, you are also wonderful teacher. I am not trying to sound nice hear here but really it is a very informative piece on forex education. Enough said! Keep up the good work and I sincerely thank-you for all that you have done in this thread.

The one thing I think we've got in common is patience & discipline. You're definitely a great trader!

Hi Mike, just thought I'd drop by in the new decade to wish you all the best. Keep up the great work you're doing both here and in the PF. I'm not very vocal at the moment due to work committments, but I'm always lurking ;-) Loving the profile picture! Best Chris

The more he gives the more he shall receive.If one door closes 10 new ones will open for him. Anything He puts his hands in, it shall prosper. This is my prayer for You.

Thanks Mike

Mike is one of the pillars of J16 and the PF. Extremely helpful guy who responds very quickly too. Great mentor and teacher!

Hey i just realised that i've never posted a "thank you" here!! You know how i feel about you and all that you do for us here and in the PF Mike, so i wont add anything to that. Just this little reminder to tell u that we really appreciate what u do.
Cheers
Mat

He Really Puts Time To Help The Others And He Knows What He's Doing. I Appreciate What You're Doing Mike.

Basber

StoragePro earlier said u are the "the warlock of the charts".
I say, u are the vanguard/custodian of the James16 thread & method.

Mike also types fast when he's online. He's always willing to share & give advice (& he never gets tired of doing it), constantly affirming & reaffirming FF members of the correct, best & tested trading principles & practices. His vitality is explained by his youth, which is really fantastic.

Keep it up, Sir!

nice profile pic!

A rare GENUINE gem! Thank you, Mike!

Mike, the guys below have said it all: great trader, great teacher, great guy, role model - I can't improve on those comments. So I'll just add my whole-hearted endorsement, for whatever it might be worth.

Must admit that I never realized that you were so young. Such is the wisdom behind your words, I'd assumed that you were a gray-haired sage who'd been trading for 30+ years. Perhaps I confused you with Merlin, LOL.

You bent over backwards to help me. I will never forget that.

Very best wishes from me - health, prosperity and much happiness,

David

Might Mike has always been a good coach to many newbies. I dont know how he does it but i think his passion for forex made it an effortless task

Mike is a true market pimp. He knows what he talks about and is very helpfull to the noobs.

He is a true mentor, ever willing to go to the ends of the world to help us learn,

May the best be with you Mike.

Regards,
Ghous.

Mike's a cool dude that knows his stuff. He has directly and indirectly helped me to be able to trade. A 23 year old that is that good? That's what I call inspiration. I look up to this man.

Hey, we can comment traders now? Coolies :P

Let's see, how did I write the other day:

"Mike for example is doing a great job.
I really don't know where he finds the time. He sleeps like 4-6 hours,
appears to trade 500 pairs profitably with like 3-4 methods at once,
answers almost every single post ever asked on the PF AND on the public
FF side as well AND still has time to go walk the dog and go out :P
And THEN he goes and says "yea, I'm just a lazy guy" :P
Classic! ;D"

That's Mike for ya.

One of the most helpful and even at his age experienced(knows how to boil things down to the core essence, without the BS) forex traders this forum has ever seen.

Good Trader.............Great guy........



Sam

One of the nicest, most helpful, and most knowledgeable folks here at FF.
Keep up the good work!
Mike is what the Forex Factory forum is all about.

One of most helpful people here... Thanks, you are a role model.
