Today's video. Today's video may be one of my last. I'm still in a continued battle with online trolls. These trolls really try to make my feel uncomfortable sharing content here on FF and on youtube. I know I've taken content breaks before but I think it may be time to end my online presence out of safety for myself and my trading. I will make my final decision in a video update this coming Monday. I'm sorry for those that enjoy what I share but I think you will understand that if I do this, it's out of my own safety. I share too much. More than...


Let haters hate, thats what they do best.
If you leave, like Stevepatt mentioned, they'll get what they want.

You have a strong following here Ryan, we'll respect any which way you go.

Oh Nooo!
After just 28 page is going to die this thread that I just discovered 2 days ago.
What a lost but I'll respect your decision whatever it will be.
Thanks for the videos.

Transparency and integrity of showing your losses and mistakes is why I watch your videos. Oh and I like to see that a passionate Forex trader succeed as a full time income trader, This is what I eventually want to do and I have been trying for years. Its nice to see that it is possible, And I thank you for sharing your success with us.You have shown me the edge I was missing , "basket trading", and this will help my success as well ( I hope). If you enjoy what you been doing dont stop because of haters (trolls), they are just probably jealous. You seem to get a lot of funding request, and that will help you. Maybe just open up a private channel away from FF and grow your client through word of mouth, that will weed out most of the trolls and haters.

Your absence here would certainly harm the quality of this forum and I hope you somehow find a way around those trolls.

{quote} It definitely is. I could be in for a ride here. lol
A little observation : you mentioned this new Tradersway account with a 1000:1 leverage but in your last video it looks like the used margin with those 4 GC trades on corresponds to a real leverage of only 200:1 ($277 used margin) which would mean that you could barely open 26 trades if it came to that (which I hope for you it doesn't).
Maybe I have my calculation wrong but you might want to check anyway. I beefed up my spreadsheet I posted here before and there you can see the development in "the red area"..

This is my weakest part of figuring out the Margin amount able to trade and etc..Would you mine sharing a detail of how you were able to calculate this very important part of account management.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Cubby,

"Today's video may be one of my last. I'm still in a continued battle with online trolls. "
What can I say... Such a shame mate.
Unfortunately, this place is full of trolls, "gurus", malafide signal providers, unscrupulous robot and system sellers, to name just a few.
Unlike yourself and few assorted traders, most don't have the balls to put on a live trade explorer.
Premium content and education without a hidden agenda is becoming a rare commodity these days.

"I'm sorry for those that enjoy what I share but I think you will understand that if I do this, it's out of my own safety. I share too much."
Déjà vu. Look at this. Does it sound familiar ? Bet it does.
Incredible, but things have come to a situation where sharing has become dangerous.
No way out ?

For a starter, you could use this indicator:

GBP/CAD M30 Long Trade

It's not a Bullish Inside Candle, I know, but I like the Level.

So, that indicator shows you the real leverage (which is not always the same for all pairs/metal etc).
Say, 200:1
Fire up the spreadsheet and put in:
account balance,leverage, grid space, price, pip value/ 0.01Lot, used margin / 0.1 lot and the lots/trade.
Now you can see the equity going down in the yellow column, used margin at 4th trade = 246, MARGIN level =4770%.
Then, further down from trade no. 25 on it starts to get complicated, going under the 100% level.

These calculations are not very accurate but you get an idea what you are playing with.

Comments welcome....
...just realized that Cubby had 5 trades open, so his account leverage could be around 500:1.

Thanks, I am looking forward to investigating this weekend. Awesome that you are taking the time to explain and also sharing . I enjoy learning and testing new ideas or methods from other traders, very interested.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone!

The reaction to my video today shocked me! I was also contacted by FF regarding my video and post today. Their response was very kind and supportive as well. It's nice to know FF has my back.

I have decided to continue my online presence on FF and youtube. I still worry what the future may bring with online trolls and hackers. I will be making some small changes to what I do to help protect myself and my friends.

Thanks for your suggestions as I may implement some of them in the near future.

Short Positions need to be Off Loaded and Long Positions need to be built Institutions need Liquidity to do this.

Awesome video Ryan, and not to mention, thank you for your continued dedication to people such as myself who have been struggling for years. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel with your wisdom. You sacrificed a lot, and the fruits of your hardship over the years have proven to be that of success.

I'm sure I'm not alone in saying this, but if those do come around to hurt your cause, we'll be there first hand to counter those who want to harm.

Always always always a breath of fresh air!

Today's video.

Profit!

All my trades closed out. I finally got the pullback I was looking for on my pairs. I saw good potential for it when I posted my video last night. Glad it finally happened

You really called out the mysterious price action on GBPCAD right before it shot up, I'm soo amazed.
Awesome job man!
