As per the title, the thread has many useful things. And also helps to learn from it. So it is not useless but learning thread for many.

Hey Everybody!

So... a little over a decade ago, I got offered a REALLY $olid position working within an organization that I had already been working within for nearly another decade prior to that. The money was beautiful... enough that I would have anything I ever wanted. We're talking six figures... not sevens. It meant my life-long dream was living out.

About five years ago... there was an untimely, and tragic death within that organization. Upon the man that died's recommendation... and a few others that concurred to make a (serious) decision... I was offered an unbelievable promotion. I thought it was a dream... nearly a nightmare... as it was happening. Anyway... I took it. I succeeded. Very few errors. Truly blessed.

When that position will end, is not in my control. Its big-league entertainment. I'm not the talent. When the machine is rolling, I'm there to make sure the talent shines to the best of their capabilities.

About five months ago... a break was declared... a hiatus... until who knows when. Because I'm on the technology end of things, I didn't (kinda) finish up until about two months ago. When I did... it was confusing: Where do I live again? Do I have kids? Nope... nephews... sister... aging mother and father... all on different continents. Anyway... now...

After starting to try and get settled... the (manager's) phone started ringing. In David Bowie and Prince, two of my (solo) heroes have recently passed. When a recent call came to inquire to my availability from another one... well... it had t be explored. No way to say no.

Kind Heaven. Its good shit.

I'll be back

Loving your posts... hope to get a little interaction going soon.

Not bad. Tough to beat Rutger and Pris, though.

For those still kicking around that haven't seen in the last few months years.
Coming to find you... if it takes me all night (Robert Smith).

I hear yer well, through the grapevine, me aul flower. You can tell me yerself soon.

Every time I hear "Brexit"... therefore... OFTEN... I wish I could pick up a phone and tell someone... there is a man named sisse... you NEED to speak to him... he can help. You'd be like a Liam Neeson in Taken... yes, I'm sisse... I have a VERY particular set of skills. Yer going to sort this Brexit shite, or I will find you... and you will SERIOUSLY regret combining the words Britain and Exit!

love love

sisse's greatest advise for me is - let market cheers GBPUSA to 1.33XXX and you just hammer it down. Rinse and repeat, and don't be itchy to buy even if it is at 1.2XXXX.

It used to be REALLY useless... in an ironical sense.

There's plenty of gems within the pages, but was always so much better as it was happening live. Anyone could learn a lot... anyone could teach a lot... even if it was through a mistake.

Member Replicant has the spirit... people should jump in with him/her. Live is where its at.

Not to be a dick, but he only ever tell you GBPUSD! Must have the instruments right if you want to proceed.

I'd LOVE to hear his take with Brexit what... a week away, or so? Probably still sell, sell, sell.

Your name suits that anyway, yeah? Fall, fall, fall...

I have a method to talk to him. Who knows, he may say a quick hello here.

I think of him often. For someone I've never met in person... he sure did implant a different way for me to look at many situations in life. I still like to be a jackass... laugh it up. But its easier to laugh when you have already used quiet, observational/analytical intelligence.

To sisse!

I do miss his philosophical incomprehensible trading ideals.
I lost quite a lot of brain cells trying to understand him.

Its incredible... and rare... to see somebody in the top few percentile at what they do.

And when they are in control of what they do, they have no need to be a dick... be arrogant. There were a few people around here in the heyday... and they were absolute PRICKS!!! For what? Couldn't give a toss HOW good you are at what you do... if yer an arsehole to people to make yerself feel MORE good... a little more better... pfft. Class. EVERYbody needs class. sisse always had it. The shite he would tolerate... just to be here, and share some knowledge..?

To sisse!

I LOVE the guy!

Nice chart in the post you quoted. Replicant has a good head on the shoulders.

Interesting to see where he/she's at, a little over a month later now.

Well quoted, goosebone. Knowledge to follow.
