{quote} 2.53 atm
Ripple record high today...
I am still waiting for my applications to go through in two exchanges, currently I have no way to buy ripple.. last night I saw a article about how to, I plan to try later today,

the way to do it..by first buying ethereum in coinbase and then using that to buy ripple on an exchange called Bitsane.

I checked bitsane,, the site is easy to sign on,,,,

{quote} i bought into ripple when i did because i decided based on its usefulness..it was actually more useful than bitcoin..but I sold it because when at XRP at released...to actually be effective..anyone USING XRP will only ever need a few to save on transaction costs etc...i could drone on for days (and clearly ive been wrong as of the timing) but how much are all these cryptos really worth..okay..so there will only ever be 21million bitcoin! buy it now!...BUT you can trade it and own it in a less than 1 form..out to however many decimals..which...
i think it will all collapse one day. not many governments have lasted 1000 years. i just have to worry about my time here. ripple has a good standpoint if its adopted by more banks. it will save banks hundreds of billions and billions of hours on transfers. sure someone will invent a better wheel eventually.. atm, it looks pretty good. i wouldn't short it.. its number 2 now and gaining on bitcoin fast.

i think the same way,, crypto has a lot of potential...plus those smart people like Peter Thiel won't throw $20 mil for nothing....

agreed...banks got on board which was big...and it does save them on time..which is convenience and money..I just find it so hard to believe that banks wouldn't choose to just play the power roll like they do and create their own to adopt and use...making all of this obsolete

i am a skeptic too.. someone will invent a new wheel after he figures out this mouse traps weakness. the cats out the bag already. its hard to do a startup against Amazon .. the Blockbusters of the world, need to evolve or die.

atm i think a lot of the reason bitcoin hasn't dropped further is, many are buying bitcoin. as a way to get ripple and others. once ripple is on coinbase and other exchanges,, it takes away that need.

exactly...and despite my 1 investment made (and failed on exit timing, easy to play monday morning coach though after the events occurred..could have dropped back to a penny and lost my investment too) I have 0 intention of ever reinvesting into a crypto produced by anyone but government/banks. fun to watch none the less.

on a totally off track side note...playing with AlgoTradeSoft Innovative EA...running live now on more suitable settings for Oanda because sadly I'm in the US so its my best shot...spreads on core pricing account for majors aside of sterling dollar are about .3 pips...commission those costs me .5 pip on both open and close per trade..so adjusting some settings to cover for the preferred .7-.9 pip round trip cost it likes and will post live results in a couple months. the EA has some promise though and places stop orders in great spots, along with the ability to learn from the past and adapt moving forward.

{quote} using ai?
so it claims...less concerned with claims of AI than I am of the trades it makes being profitable 52% + of the time with gains per win being double that of a loss in pips..myfxbook for the AlgoTradeSoft is verified and on all real accounts..mostly with FXCM..with good results...and understandably so as long as spread/execution/slippage are in check...execution on Oanda V20 engine i have is very very good..slippage is currently averaging (from running live for 3 days) .1 pips maximum. spread is the only drawback..better to say..cost per trade in my shoes...average trade time on this EA is about 7-10 seconds...places smart stop orders at the tip of proven s/r with a 1.5 pip stop (all thing adjustable to your liking) and moves your stop to breakeven +x pips after x pips of profit...great for a breakout really. looks to maximize profit if it survives initial break even stage..(somewhat rare though.) but I've dorked around with maybe 200 EA's and this is the only one I've ever messed with that under proper conditions can be profitable in a way that merits using it. ill grab the fxbook link a minute for the creator's results. I am using fixed lots on 6 pairs all at .01 lots for testing...demos are garbage testing and with the stoploss settings on this ea......01 lots is kind of free testing..

I do have Tick Data Suite...and while I am live testing..I'm also using it to backtest different settings, but not in the usual troll ass EA user way..in a way that is weighted in every realistic way against me..example...settling slippage in TDS to not be 50/50 favorable against unfavorable..but 10% chance of favorable slip vs 90% unfavorable..among many other things.

In the mean time...2008 longs are in the green..and at break even + 1. hoping to get lucky and touch 2042 area before meeting minutes..will close long there or close regardless before that news kicks off..
