The Classic Mystery...Of Scammers and Trolls..
hi moodybot, yes, i spoke to Fractal about 1.5 hours on skype. for real. sometimes action is what needed, and i took the steps for it. did my search on internet, and did contact him as he offered. on a skype video call it isnt that easy to mislead as in a forum. cant copy/paste or edit. it is easy to know another trader when someone is a trader, too. plus there is hardware that hard to fake on a live video, just for a sake to mislead. anyway, went into some topics what i am familiar more than a plain retail trader ( prop and managed accounts), and...
This might be a stupid thing to post, this might be obvious to you seasoned FFactory pros, but who cares, i'm here to learn. Am I missing something, this could stop this thread? Why did this not go ahead, is it against FFactory rules or something? It could really teach us 'Naive' people a lot and could also put the 'Monkeys' in their place. Post #8,726 {image}
Now we have a fck fractal aaand a fck thoose who want to fck fractal + dukas thread Well done
I have something to say about this. Forexfactory has potential to be a great site but amongst its members are idiots. Instead of approaching someone like "I don't agree and this is why" followed by a constructive argument. This would start a conversation on the right footing however the sort of reply is coated in arrogance, naivety, and lacking anything constructive whatsoever. It tends to be provocative and based on nothing more than self invented facts presented as genuine fact. The hilarious irony is that none of them are willing or able to show they can even trade. So why does forexfactory, or other members who click the like button on these morons, accept the forum being degenerated to shit status. Why does nobody aside from a few stand up to these assholes. I know why, because assholes stick together and they gang up on others. This stigma prevents people from ending this behavior. I say man the fuck up and deal with the scum and this place will become a place for traders at all skill levels, not just morons who pretend they know everything but can't back any of it up.
{quote} You are right. There is a right way and a wrong way to everything. I just go about things the wrong way because I like to be different. I would rather go from $0 to $13m in four months, instead of twenty years. End of the day, I am just airing my frustration at my own error in judgement, to lose it all in ten days.
{quote} Another perspective... It was a lucky 5 month streak that happened after almost 10 years of trying. So, really it was 10 years to get to 13 million. Luck (of that magnitude) is not likely to happen again any time soon. Additionally... With the cash flying out of the account, other undisclosed accounts/investments/real estate, and the drawdown/equity, it's not really clear what the real percentage of total NAV loss was. We're told that it's over 95%, but that's trickle truth to be sure, we seem to only hear about the negative. Prime example......
{quote} the making money part is easier than the keeping money part. a slight correction, if i may, you didnt go from 0$ to 13 million. you were starting out with money
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ {quote} Yes, correction is I started with $50k not $0 - that is a big difference for sure. But when you have reached $13M, $50k feels next to nothing. My remaining $500k is approximately only 3.8% of what I had prior; ergo $50k would be like 0.38%.
{quote} and 10x more than you have started out with. +1000%, 5 months. not enough? what the whining for then?
{quote} Corrections: - 15 years refers to 2003-2018, the period I have been working (more like 16 years now) - cost of living is "generally" commensurate with the earning potentials of a particular countr: in Australia it is higher wages but also higher costs of living. $13M is not as much as you might think in my country. - I don't live at home, and my mother does not have a basement. I am renting. - Again, your examples of purchases depends upon where you live. I could have moved to a third world country to live like a king, but there are reasons...
