Dislikedleighsww,
It's a surpise that you give me such a hight score on my post. I'm honored.
I also suprised that you mention the "Honesty" and "Openess"--I don't feel it's a problem in this thread.
Of course sometimes when people made a nice killing, they like to shout out loudy. I also shouted laudly last time when I doubled my account on BOJ intervention.
I agree this proudly expression may mislead new traders to believe in HolyGrill system. But I don't think any dishonest behavior involved.
Regarding the "Openess", I've found this TAF...Ignored
also like to discuss with you some things, cause I feel we are not on the same line with our understanding and adaption of fti's teachings.
Interesting that you feel we are not on same line, because fti's teachings are quite clear here. In the past, I've often re-posted some of his more important messages that people should reread and take careful note on, and I also posted some of my ride-along sessions to give everyone an even better understanding that shows much details when people were confused.
Not sure how much more I can discuss without just repeating same things
Hi GEfx,
Sorry you read my post as angry, but it was in fact, NOT that of anger at all. Also, please reread what I wrote to imjscn, cuz I clearly stated that I was not accusing anybody, just "reminding" and making sure everyone who "might" be doing this, keeps it in their conscience to rethink doing so, especially for their own sake (when we are not completely honest, the person we hurt the most is ourselves, cuz it's the "denial" that gets in the way of us making changes in our life/relationships/trading/etc. for the better).
Quite frankly, some of my message was also meant for Fredde. If he searches his heart and conscience, he knows very well that his wife, Karen, did not go insane, even if her brother's death was much tragedy for her, that would not warrant her wanting a divorce (she stated her reasons for the divorce). Karen is not here to defend herself or give her side of the story, and I feel using the word "insane" was a little unfair to her, but I know fti might already sense the true reason why (reread Post #20610).
Yes, I feel Karen was scared for the financials, fti's health, and the welfare of her family. I saw the signs years ago, and warned him about the recklessness and neglect and what could happen. I feel he can make things right again, if he first acknowledge his part in the responsibility and not only blame Karen for the damage to the family. But first, he needs to get his health back in order to do so.
As far as my mentioning about Seniors who are not trading fti's style, yet contribute here as if they do ... you may have been very upfront about that all along, as well as a couple others, but my post was mainly to express and warn that ... every time fti sees Seniors deviating from his teachings, he gets upset and frustrated.
It is clearly seen in his post to MaMood --> Post #25796 (stating he has "already becoming so many here, i not have any more energy for this")
And remember this one about "I guess it is impossible to train old dogs. Now I am convinced. No more casting pearls to pigs."? --> Post #5683 . Many thought he was upset with the "pattern" talk, but I knew he saw a Senior's chart with all the "lines," thus feeling that ALL his energy and time here has been wasted if Seniors are still not heeding his teachings.
There are other instances, but I think that is all that's needed for everyone to get the point.
Unfortunately, whenever I post here, I cannot help but go into "mother and sister" mode, lol, so many times when I say something, it is many times trying to warn people here, so as not to get fti upset otherwise you will keep having him threaten to leave this thread (which quite frankly, I wish he would ... at least until he gets his health back).
Most of you probably do not see/read into his words the way I do (maybe a lot of you actually do, but you just do not say). Please know, I have come to know fti very well through our chats, I know his ways, I know his temperament, I know the goodness of his heart (which all here do also), and I also know his scorpions. I also read into his situations very well, as he gives away much in what he says/writes. His messages are most times quite clear to me with what he is trying to convey. It would be to others, too, if you just look closely enough (again, maybe many already do).
As a "sister" I feel I have to scold him when I see him going into "self-destruct" mode, mainly for his own good (he already lost much, not only health-wise, but in regards to his family).
And somehow I go into "mother" mode to all others here who do not realize all this about him, because not only is it for your own welfare if you want to have fti keep posting here with you, but for his own welfare in not always getting upset and frustrated when he feels Seniors are not heeding the important aspects of his teachings.
Although at times he will say he is "okay" with it and just take from his teachings what you will, but if he really meant that, he would not get upset every time he sees Seniors deviating, no?
Anyway, maybe if Seniors also reread this thread, you may start seeing some of what I am saying more clearly after I have now brought more of this into your awareness.
I think we can all agree that the foremost important thing that needs to happen here is for fti to regain his health back, and after doing so, he can make an attempt to try and get his family back.
I have said plenty here already, whether fti and others take it to heart is up to each. It seems I always cause disruption, haha, thus it best that I not engage too much here, and besides, I have other business and personal needs to attend to and cannot spend the time that I used to.
Again, I wish ALL here be well and please learn from all this ... and I'm not talking only about the trading lessons, but about keeping financials, health and family --> safe and in balance.

K had not been a person who handles stress well and i think she has lost it. But of course there is much of my moneys riding on this, so financials could be reason as well.

sorry to interrupt, but suddenly the idea of flow hit me. I kind of feel a bit stupid now...too much analysis. 
It's just this: find a good opening and get in. Manage as price goes on based on how price is behaving. I find that I occasionally trade against the trend, but I'm careful that when I see big impulse I re-align quickly.
My biggest problems are here: I had "scalping" mentality. But I finally got into my head that scalping is dangerous. So now I enter battlefields only when nice juicy pattern forms instead of squeezing blood from stone. If the girl does not want to dance, I can't force her. Wait patiently for her to lead. After all, once I take the trade I am in in battlefield. No point in being there without good conditions.
Also, I did over analysis (s/r ect) Now I stick to 5 or 15min only... s/r is not really helpful anymore. It's more patterns based, recognizing it when it comes up and then following it with a trade/continued management. Hardly do I ever pull up a 4 hr or daily chart anymore than once a day to establish trend.
Also, while the monk story has managed to stick in my head. I've found it's very important because of human bias. Once we make a trade, if we stay on the idea too long without continued analysis of your current situation, you will be burdened by bias.
A big waring to beginners. Definitely start with 1,1,1 first. Learning the rescue MO before the dance will set you back quite a bit. Reason being, that you start believing that rescues negate having bad dance.

A quiet Sunday morning here and I have time to catch up on FF stuff. luSan, hope you are having a great time in NY. Are you going to a baseball game? Enjoy you time there!
Actually I passed the weekend talking to my relatives.
Now I am back in Greensboro an looking the formation of silly double top.
I found that my tomatoos grew a lot.
I think that I should leave them alone
by going on vacation more often.

Greetings,
Actually I passed the weekend talking to my relatives.
Now I am back in Greensboro an looking the formation of silly double top.
I found that my tomatoos grew a lot.
I think that I should leave them alone
by going on vacation more often.
I had gave some information about what happening in my life, in hope that friends may understand my status.
BUT my family is my own business.
So please be so kind as not to comment about things that is beyond others capacity to understanding. One thing i always try to tell people is not to crystal ball or judge with bias because what they see may not be whats happening.
Thank You.
regards
Be well, ALL!
