I am not throwing stones here. I am just looking for some clarification. Again, most of us are looking to spend our time testing and experiementing. But, if I was going to teach someone to fly I would tell him what the guages are and how they are used and what the ideal settings are for safety and so they dont crash. I dont say "here's the plane, here's the controls and the guages and I can fly and land it fine every time. Figure out what settings the guages should be on and you will be fine. Gee, why not just tell him the correct settings? Yes, an anology, but the meaning is the same - why not just tellthe people and then let them hone their skills. Why the secrecy?
The point is, that the short amount of time required for just one post for a single pairs settings, would address the majority of the issues. He told us he uses a 1 to 1 reward vs risk: we use that. We know he sets his SL at the opposite side of the CZ: we do that. We know he takes his trade at the close of the second candle outside of the buffer zone: we do that. The only thing he hasnt told was his settings. We get the general 2-4 boxes per week and 30 pips of less box heights and the longer the channel the better. So the entry and exit are pretty cut and dried - it is the settings of the indicator that must be key for one person to have nearly 95% winning percentage and others 1/2 of that. So, why be so secretive with the settings? Why not share for one pair - then everyone can emulate and obtain the same 95%. The entry and exit rules are clear and can be followed mechanically. FH, shows his 1 month GU chart where he addresses every trade based on just the CZ.
I will let this go. I just dont understand why a sharing forum has to be controlled. I had a forum on another forex board. I shared everything. People still worked and we refined as best we could. But all the cards were on the table - some just sat back and got a free ride - but many jumped in and improved things. Maybe FHs 95% could even be imporved with many minds working together.
I am off my soapbox and will disappear into the sunset. I thought I might jump in and assist my son in this struggle which seems unneccessary.
GLTA and thanks again to ForexHard for sharing and his contributions thus far. You too Squalou and others...

DislikedI am not going to presume answering for Forexhard - but I would personally like to respond to your criticism of his replies.
To paraphrase you claim he lacks giving specific answers to questions re: his win %, how he trades etc etc. You then give a lecture on how 'good' teachers respond to questions and help the student better understand what is being taught. I like you, have advanced degrees and been a trader for 17+ years.
Forex trading as you know is not cut and dried like learning say auto mechanics. There are many things you can be taught...Ignored
