The Gorilla Method

Did you indi stopped updating ?
Mine shows a distance.

These buttons outline are colored based on H1 currency strength difference over the last 24 H.
It does paint the picture all eur and gbp pairs down, rest of the pairs in limbo.
Never seen this before.

Yups....they are all falling like brick hehehe

Just wanted to share this from Zerohedge.com.

People who are not trading now probably do not want to read this (basic boring stuff) but people who are busy trading, take some time to read it.


An Unsolicited Warning From Someone Who Just Blew It
My apologies.
This is long.
This is boring.
I know these aren't fun.
I don't need/want your pity; I just honestly hope I can save one person from this stupid nightmare.


- I finally destroyed my gambling account.
I'd like to believe that I'm a relatively smart fellow. After all, I graduated from the local state university with a 2.03 GPA after failing out once and dropping out another time. I spent the majority of my professional life in compliance, but before that, I was an investment adviser who only dealt in passive, diversified asset-class based mutual fund investing.
It was slow and boring, but it worked. Really well. I not only did really well for our clients, but also my own money. It was simple, BUY WHEN YOU HAD MONEY and SELL WHEN YOU NEEDED MONEY. Don't sweat the small details, we're properly diversified to minimize risk (which worked) and we'll catch the ups, of which there are always many.
I used that system for decades, including the first 3 years of our retirement. But it wasn't enough; oh no, I had to get cute. I learned how to trade derivatives; at first it was just simple calls and puts, then exotic spreads. I learned how to trade just simple calls and puts, then exotic spreads. I learned how to trade futures (not exactly difficult) and started placing bigger and bigger bets because, eh, we had plenty of money and I could afford to lose some, no problem.
As the last 6 years went by, I became more and more confident in my ever-changing trading system(s) with options and futures, despite the fact that there was only 1 year where I turned a profit (+$450k selling call spreads in 2015). Every other year, there was always some excuse.
"Oh well, if I hadn't lost that $350k on toothless cattle futures,we'd have made money." Or, "if we had just not taken the $600k loss we'd have made money." Or, "if we had just not taken the $600k loss after the election, we had a pretty good year!"
Dumb stuff like that.
Friends and family all warned me, I better get out of trading before I blow it all. "I won't," I assured them, "I'm not that stupid."
I was sure of it. And I was wrong.
I had quit day-trading back in November but was still using a swing trading system that damn near never lost (really), until I got completely run over last week. Literally every move I made was wrong, and I managed to completely wipe out my entire gambling account. I want to be clear, we're not broke or anything near it (still get to claim millionaire status), but holy crap did I decimate my account something stupid.
So, I'm here to tell you that the scary stories you hear from elders who quit trading? They're true. Trading is a losing game. It's just gambling.
Most people who claim to be winners just ignore their losses and pretend everything is ok. To be sure, some people really can make a living at it, and good for them. But the odds are massively against you. The system is designed to take your money while you're stressed, guessing, nervous, angry, depressed, or most of all - desperate.
Your money is your money. Your life is your life. I ain't your pappy. You don't owe me anything and I don't owe you anything. But I'm the lucky one. My wife isn't leaving me (she certainly could) and I paid for my house with cash, so I can't lose it as long as I keep paying the taxes.
But do this favor to yourself - ask yourself why you're really doing this. Actually ask yourself what you'll do IF you wake up one day to yet another surprise six-digit loss that you went to sleep thinking was a winner. If you can't deal with the fall-out, get out now while you can. Start a business. Go back to school. Get a job you enjoy. Don't end up like me, or worse, people who didn't still have a small pile of assets after the Big One strikes your account. I'll be alright (I hope).
My gambling days are over (because that account is empty now). My wife swears she's not leaving and that she still loves me. We can always sell this house and move somewhere cheaper if it really comes to that, or, more likely, I'll just start anotherbusiness if necessary. But the stress I've gone through the past week business if necessary. But the stress I've gone through the past week since the disaster struck has been unlike any stress I've had since I was still in business and had to worry about sales drying up (which any good business owner is paranoid about constantly, even if things are great). OddStats will still be around, but now I'm angry.
I'm embarrassed. I'm humiliated. I've hurt myself and others around me and that's painful. Think about it before this is you. Be good to each other and remember that greed fucking kills.

Does that "hehehe" means your are short ? <- (EU-rules straight bananas)

Nope, no entry on EUR and GBP. I'm still learning and just have small account so can't afford to lose it in Gambling Positions. I just checking all pairs before going to bed hahaha...Nice buttons by the way. Great to see some of the great traders like yourself here FXMadness.

Bro CM, No need to care for the people testing you. You are a big help for all trader here especially newbie like me. So just do whatever you feels is right, you don't need to answer to those people. GBU

Nothing to do with Gorilla but just some information.
These are the eur and gbp offline M15 all pairs (basket) SELL charts.
From this morning all eur pairs (in total) moved 500 pips negative (not shocking) but the gbp (in total) 1100 pips.
Without any flash crashes pretty impressive.

Exceptional times. Some people will get stinking rich and some will be street poor.


Sorry no chart time in previous picture.
Server is @GMT+2.

Wow

This is what all gorillas should be doing by now.

I missed this one and was gutted when I saw it. Perfect set up that one. Kudos my friend

Take it easy man, cm7 is a great trader and a great personality and if you are not okay with him, too bad.

Few times, I took his calls are the outcome was good.

His call this Monday was good also, but unfortunately, many traders fails to read in between the lines before jumping to conclusions.

Go back and check the Mondays' call, he said 450 pips is expected from one pair and the implication of this is that it will take that pair 2 - 3 days to achieve that.

So, because Mondays' result was negative, does it mean that Tuesdays' result will be negative, see the image below for a trade that i started on Monday based on cm7's call.

Learn to appreciate great minds...

cm7 thank you for caring for ff community, you are appreciated, keep up the good job

The markets are a funny place to try to make money I used to try and trade big events and 90% of the time I lost out big time. When you don't trade the market and sit on the side lines the market does the obvious thing and you feel like you miss out. I have been second guessing myself all week about the gbp thinking of any reason why it would go up because 9 times out of 10 it goes the opposite way to what logic suggests. Hopefully the markets return to normal soon its hard to pick bananas when technicals are all over the place. 20 pips down on the day and no obvious bananas

Your comment is a total riddle to me but never mind.

Congrats, you are short pound and made some and probably will make some more in the following hours.
I really did not see that coming.

Don't believe everything - or indeed anything - the BBC and other mainstream news tells you. (Always a good position to take anyway, on any subject). Those who voted leave don't believe a word of the Project Fear #2 mob and just want those nominally in charge to get their finger out and get us out. All the details for having us trade under WTO rules are worked out and waiting to be put into place. There have been whistleblowers canned for revealing that fact.

The Remoaners are the ones panicking, they are the gullible ones and believe everything their lords and masters tell them and are afraid of the UK's ability to live away from the asylum.

Those who are in it for themselves and what they get out of the EU gravy train - ie most politicians - are terrified and scared for sure...because they know they are about to be found out as lying, grubby, cheats, who are as cynical and uncaring about the country and people they profess to represent as you can ever imagine.

You can see this at every level, as those who voted to leave will engage in a reasoned and measured debate on their position, while those who voted to stay will resort to vile abuse and belittlement.

Confrontational Politics around the world is a complete disgrace.

No I haven't traded it. I scared myself off it thinking it was to simple. I didn't think it would drop this far

'Dragons' rider.. lol

Go-Mind (Gorilla Mindset use for another trading system..hehehe)

Looking back, they did alright for themselfs way,way before the EU came to life.
