Well , in a slightly twisted way , finally Bluepanther answered " yes ". So , he wants that FFactory traders do a donation of $ 14,000,000 to him.

No comment about his mental health.

Anyway , now the whole FFactory Community will be able to judge Bluepanther and his request.

Well done, you have proved yourself correct sir!

And as for my mental health, you have made judgement yet reserve your comment?
Suffice to say: How would you feel if you lost $14 million?
Or how about I frame it this way: ...if you lost 97% of your account?
Would you feel suicidal? Angry? Distressed? Lost? Seeking support?
(Do not forget, when you point the finger at others, three fingers point right back at you: so how is your mental health?)
But thank you for "asking".

The majority of people won't know the feeling of suffering such a great loss.
Of those that can "somewhat, somehow" empathise, most can only offer kind words of moral support.
Only an exceptional few persons can offer no kind words or support, and instead seek to degrade and humiliate others for satisfaction of their ego.
You have demonstrated your character.

Its only money. Only virtue is needed for happiness.
I will probably never in my life have 500K in savings. Consider yourself incrediblly lucky. You are already amongst the richer people on this planet.

I think your request for donations speaks volumes about how disconnected from reality you are, and I don't mean that in a rude way, but I think you need to take a step back and realise what you have. You still have a house? Was trading your full time job? Do you have two legs and two arms?
Some people lose suffer sudden death and loss in their family, lose their job and house and have nothing. You can still make something out of $500k, even if you bought a house in cash and rented it out you could love happily on this income.

The rest of us are not so silly to put ourselves in a position where we will lose 97% of our net worth. Instead of wasting your time looking for sympathy from others, perhaps you need to look at the true reason why you lost 97%. What was it? It looks like greed to me. Am I right?

Your GoFundMe has made $105 in 12 days. This is $8.75 per day. By my calculation it will take 4,380 years to raise the 14 million you require. Perhaps a bank holdup would be faster and more feasible method.

Anyway, while you're waiting, some light reading that may be relevant:

https://au.reachout.com/articles/gambling-addictions
https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/

Since you are such a vocal advocate of donations, I'm assuming you have previously donated to other causes on many occasions. If you don't have bank statements to prove your own prior donations, then perhaps you could start by donating 100K to a worthy cause such as Ronald McDonald House. As you said:

I am as surprised as you that FF And GoFundMe allow such a possibility. My campaign is genuine, but I am unsure as to why it is still "permitted". Means anyone can simply ask. At the very least, it grants me an opportunity to "think things through" and hear others' advice. I hope this helps others in similar situations.

No problem. Although it is harsh, I do feel it would be more productive to look at why you lost such a large sum, and work towards addressing that problem. Specifically, I think you need to control the greed. Even one quarter of that money (3.5 million) would have been enough for you to retire and live comfortably for the rest of your life. An elusive dream that not many of us will ever get to realize. Maybe you will get another chance later on, make sure you're ready for it this time.

{quote}I am not surprised at receiving little support. It is manifestation of the little support I have provided others in my life.
I think it is more a case that it is difficult to feel the need to donate to a person who already had 14 million and lost it. Not to mention that you still have that 500K. Even this lowly 500K is much more than most persons assets. So, when you look at these facts, do you expect someone who has, less than say 100K in assets, to donate to you when you already have 500K. It's like a rich man asking the poor man for money. Really, to solicit donations, it needs to be the opposite scenario. You need to demonstrate that you are flat broke, homeless, or something extremely desperate like that. Speaking of homeless, if you don't own your house, then that's what would be the sensible thing to do with that 500K.

You could look at this as losing 14 million, but that would be ignoring the fact that you have $500,000. So, cheers to that mate

The amount of money lost is irrelevant, to some 14M is a huge amount, to others its pocket change, its all relative and depends on your perspective.

But starting a go fund me for this is ridiculous. Imagine if everyone who blew up their account did the same? 90% of retail investors have already done exactly that!
What makes you any different to the thousands before you whove lost money in bad investments and makes you deserving of free money?

I do understand your perspective and quite agree with you.
However, I ask you which is the worser:
a) the campaign that purports to be for a good cause and then does not utilise the funds for the stated purpose?
b) or the campaign that states exactly the reason for its cause, and the intentions are quite truthfully obvious?

I do not know if it is possible to police the campaigns to ensure funds gathered are allocated for the purpose advertised.

Hi blue panther.... I'm relaying a message to you from an ex member Pete.

Cheers

Moodybot..

Hi BluePanther,

TimeTells here (Pete), I live in Aus as well, in Brisbane. Are you in the business Hub – Sydney?

I should be upfront with you immediately in that I am currently blocked from posting due to allegations that have never been advised to me in writing, or even had my side of the story requested.

Should you not wish to discuss questions due to my situation, I would understand.

I feel though I can ask these questions through proxy as posts from who I colloquially call The Mob Of Kangaroos, have also been made on threads THEY were directly banned from by their own use of proxy postings.

I am sure Admin will see the similarity of these situations and therefore have no issue with me proxy-posting, as others they are familiar with have been allowed to do so before me, many times.

I point out straight away I shall make no donation to your GoFundMe cause. (My own reasons).
And I will also ask NO QUESTION regarding your GoFundMe which is your own business imo, and of which you seem to have been very upfront & forthright about in your dialogue on the Forum so far.

But the questions I would like to ask, if I may, are about your TRADES on the morning (to us in Australia) of Jan 3, 2019, the second trading day of the new year.


----------------------------------------------
and a new post below
-------------------------------------------------

For example on EURJPY, starting at 0:30 chart time, but culminating in a massive candle drop at 0:35, price dipped for a total approaching near 440 pips.

The industry chose to call this a “flash crash”, which of course is merely a phrase which doesn’t explain any actual human actions involved (but that’s another story and not for now).

Please let’s stick with that phrase as we all understand that it points us to what happened on that day (where upwards of 9 pairs were involved including an own past nemesis of mine AUDNZD – 'past' being operative).


Q1. What actual PAIR, or combination of multiple PAIRS, did you have trades on that morning that got crashed?

Q2. What was the nature of you being caught up in the Crash. ie were you entering a 'market' now order or 'pending' future order trade that very morning, or did you have open trades in play from the day before (ie overnight)?

Q3. Did you have a Hard Stop Loss in play listed on your MT4 chart, that YOU could visually see on your screen?

I ask no info on the size of any trades. You have explained your sum totals on that day.


Cheers BluePanther should you wish to air your situation further, to cathartically assist your balanced recovery or to assist others in not falling into a similar situation (or any other reason of course) then I and hopefully others of a similar ilk might like to discuss this with you further.

Should you wish to drop these questions here & now, and close it off, I am happy to comply.

You should really search for some psychological support from a professional provider and stop any kind of trading right away. I think this should be your first priority. It would help you overcome this frustration, learn from it and avoid losing what you have left right now. Addiction to gambling is a serious issue but it can definitely be treated with the help of a professional. Even if you get some funds from others, gambling with other people's money would just give you more stress and pressure. I hope some day you will find out that you don't need those millions to be happy and then you will become free. Good luck.
Don't give up on your dreams. Keep sleeping.

Now, the gofund me thing, this is not clear thinking, this is mind trying to copy with the huge loss, this is normal reaction I think, defense mechanism beased on hope, clear thinking will return some time in the future.

Pro help would be good I suppose, also a some kind of a smart plan to restore psychical strength and of course capital. Shit happens, I lost my capital twice, imagined strange things as a solution during the second event (dont remeber the first, maybe it was too painful) so I completely understand this guy, been there done that. From my perspective and advice - the main point now is to decrease the amplitude of bad feelings, and then focusing on how to rebuild the capital, from the fraction of money rest, not all. As I said before his main strong point is the ability to make money, however the (technical, MM) mistakes that led to the loss should be understood and taken care of. Also I woud consider possible legal action against broker.

The funds raised will be used to recover my forex business after losing $14 million during the Yen Flash Crash of Jan 2019. Net profits were $100,000 daily prior to this Black Swan event. Ultimately, profits will be utilised in the following order: 1. Re-investment to grow the business; 2. Dividend distributions to GoFundMe donors; 3. Excess profits disbursed to charitable organisations of request. GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/yen-quotflash-crashquot-costs-14-million...
@bluepanther

I see you had a not so great start of the new year.
All the best of luck in recovering your forex business.
IMHO it will only be a matter of time before your account blows again – no flash crash or fat finger is needed for it.
Please consider this constructive criticism from a fellow trader.
My analysis of one of your affected accounts, posted on myfxbook, tells me the following.

You are using a grid EA, trading these pairs.

Attached Image


I don’t know what the initial entry trigger is, but the EA start lot is 0.01 / €10K capital, lot step increment 0.01, grid size approx. 20 pips on the USDJPY grid.
The first thing that comes to my mind is that CAD pairs exhibit notoriously sustained trends, especially after important macro news announcements (Bank of Canada, Crude Oil, …).
This makes them less than suitable for grid trading, because very often, pullbacks are not big enough or non-existent. Poor mean reversion properties are not good for grid trading.

As an example, look at the USDCAD chart below. About 14 hours after the flash crash, from New York open a steady descent of > 400 pips without pullback. This sort of thing will put a grid trader in a swallow or choke scenario.

Needless to say that if (especially) CAD is grid traded, it would be better to have only one CAD (or only one JPY for that matter) grid open to limit exposure. You did not at all consider this ! If you did, you did certainly not act on it.
The reason for this is that – 24 hours prior to the flash crash – you were heavily over exposed on JPY: two JPY grids heavily into drawdown already. The “All I do is win (10K)” account history shows me that the first positions in these JPY grids were opened half December.

Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: Screenshot3.png Size: 84 KB


The day before the flash crash, on a 15K account you had roughly 2 lots open on USDJPY and – give and take - the same on CADJPY.
This account was so heavy in drawdown, that it was already scaringly close to the stop out level of 50%....

Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: Screenshot4.png Size: 99 KB


This tells me that;

1. There was no DD limit % at all per grid (or if there was, it was higher than 20%)
2. There was no limit in the number of positions in a grid, when CADJPY and USDJPY kept on going against you, the EA happily kept on whacking out orders
3. The EA did not place a hard stop. I don’t know what EA you are using (commercial, custom made for you ?) but it should place at least a hard stop, for obvious reasons
4. The EA does not have an equity protection feature, or if it did you did not bother to turn it on

I see that you put some funds into this account and that the EA is happily trading away.
Without changing its modus operandi, this EA will sooner or later blow it again...

Best of luck in your trading endeavours.

EDIT: forgot to mention the most important thing.
In grids, you (or the EA) need to control the downside. No downside control = systematic blowup.

Q1. What actual PAIR, or combination of multiple PAIRS, did you have trades on that morning that got crashed?
Manual trades on NZDCAD caused no issue. Stayed open and closed these on my 313166 account for profit after crash.
Pairs that caused crash were mainly AUDJPY, NZDJPY. I had EA operating on them.
LuXing has explained this as best (even better) than I could!

Q2. What was the nature of you being caught up in the Crash. ie were you entering a 'market' now order or 'pending' future order trade that very morning, or did you have open trades in play from the day before (ie overnight)?
EA opened trades against the trend, and as market crashed the existing trades and new larger trades caused margin calls.
EA operated with 400 grid, opening in linear-sequence of 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, etc.
Trades had already been open on grid for at least 30 days prior, account was into serious drawdown, and grid was reaching larger sizes of 7 Lots.

Q3. Did you have a Hard Stop Loss in play listed on your MT4 chart, that YOU could visually see on your screen? I ask no info on the size of any trades. You have explained your sum totals on that day.
No SL was used on EA trades.
I had no manual trades that were affected (I don't use SL on them anyway).
The main cause of my loss was the EA used on the signal account All I Do Is Win, since the trades were mirrored across the majority of my accounts. I knew the cross-account risks were being transferred, however I did not expect such a violent move, and I was "hoping" for a correction sooner to close sequences. Big mistake.

You are not the only person of this perspective, and you are entitled to your opinion.
However, you must understand the difference between "professional gambling" and "problem gambling":
- professional gambling: when a person has disposable income above and beyond their basic necessities, that they are willing to risk for a gain.
- problem gambling: when a person is unable to afford basic necessities such as food, or when a person feels compulsion to break the law to feed their habit.

Whilst I appreciate your advice, there seems some inconsistency between the fact you are a part of this community and yet hold such beliefs.

Most astute analysis dear sir! You are absolutely correct.
The EA I had trading on that account was mirrored to my other accounts, and despite only multiplying the factor by 40 per $800,000 this was too much risk.
I realise my mistake, and I was aware of the correlation risk between multiple JPY or CAD pairs. It had been my intention to mitigate the drawdown risk across the pairs but unfortunately the system does not do such: a JPY pair going up does not fully offset the margin requirement on a JPY pair going down.

I have the same system operating but on less pairs and less "trendy" pairs.
I am disappointed that since 2008 I have not yet found a system that can automatically generate profits, and I must manually trade to recover my losses.

Your analysis is greatly appreciated. Your experience and understanding is markedly evident.

Excellet analysis!

Looks the same for me, only a matter of time, not if but when, so this strategy needs improvement, additional elements should be present.

This is interesting for me, I am looking now for an additional EA, might be a grid to enter in a corrective moves when I dont have time to sit, maybe you know something reliable? I would like to combine this with a hard stop as I know (more or less) where the corrective move should end.

Maybe you know here any good threads about grid trading/pyramiding?

Sorry, there are too many threads about grid trading / pyramiding / etc. I can't pick any particular one as "best" - they all have some value.

The EA was Cobra Adrenaline. It is not anything special from any other grid EA that permits linear-sequence cost-averaging. It is safer than a grid-martingale since it does not multiply the lotsizes, so growth is kept linear and does not go exponential. But this means a greater correction is needed to close a grid-sequence.

This EA does not take fundamentals into account. It continued opening Long JPY positions despite the "risk off" sentiment of global markets.
Manual intervention is required.
