Money Flow Trading Method along with Risk Management

Good Day Folks

I opened this account on June 18, 2019. I have recently developed a Forex strategy that if learned and followed will make you very wealthy over the next few years if you qualify. It is you that need to qualify not me deciding that.

In this account starting with $50,000 US Dollars, I did 21 Forex trades between June 18, 2019 and June 28, 2019, a period of 11 trading days. All 21 Forex trades were profitable and there were no losses. All the trades were done in REAL TIME and SCREENSHOTS were always taken.

So for just under 1/3 of a month, I was able to net over $8500.00 US dollars or 17% Return On Investment (ROI) The exact amount is $8611.50 US dollars.

{quote} Hi, You are definitely right about leaving the positions open. I have encountered such thing numerous times and eventually closed the positions with the loss. I realized that sometimes it is best to analyze the situation like what you have described many many times, before letting the emotion rush make the decisions.
Thanks again for your post, I enjoy reading it a lot! It starts to become part of my reading hobby now, lol

Thank you for the kind words. That is my goal here along with KeepCalmfx. When you learn something then we are happy. I appreciate the feedback and the more that you post with any and all comments then the better.

The last few days were very much fun for me and whether I trade a $50,000 US Funds Demo Account or a REAL FUNDS $50,000 US Funds account you must treat both the same. When I have a DRAW DOWN compared to closing all my positions. I have the same HIGH doing it because for me they are both the same. Of course in my case having traded millions of US Dollars with real funds then I know that I trade the same way. I once thought that my contact at PFG BEST in Chicago , Casey C had a client for me who had $5,000,000 US Dollars for me to manage so he at my request opened a $5.000,000 US Funds Demo Account.

I traded it for exactly 56 days and got my balance over $7,500,000 US Dollars and did 1804 Forex Trades. Looking at the volume of $100,000 US Dollars per open position times 1804 Forex Trades is a lot of Millions traded. I have sent the PDF File of my 1804 Forex Trades to KeepCalmfx to verify my numbers and it can be confirmed. The amount of losses that I had in those 1804 Forex Trades (DEMO) of course was 4 LOSSES.

I doubt anyone can duplicate that MYSELF included. That was 10 years ago and I did not use my Money Flow Trading Method then.

Tech Tyrant Bandwagon Pulls Into America-This Is What Terror Looks Like

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/pppz2.jpghttp://www.whatdoesitmean.com/pppz1.jpghttp://www.whatdoesitmean.com/ujk1.jpg

“Communism is the death of the soul. It is the organization of total conformity - in short, of tyranny - and it is committed to making tyranny universal.”

Adlai Stevenson I - the 23rd Vice President of the United States from 1893 to 1897.

Special Report from Sister Ciara

My Dearest Friends:
Anyone mentally armed with knowledge from the Biblical prophecies contained in the Book of Revelation, written about 95 AD, George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece, written in 1949, “Nineteen Eighty-Four”, and Aldous Huxley’s futuristic novel of genetically modified citizens ruled by an intelligence-based social hierarchy, written in 1931, “Brave New World”, have known for decades the full significance of the philosophical, social, political, and economic ideology movement known as “communism”—a word and philosophy first coined by the French philosopher Victor d'Hupay in his 1777 book “Projet De Communauté Philosophe” (Project for a Philosophical Community)—that, in fact, was a direct attack against a document written the year prior, in 1776, by Thomas Jefferson, one of the leaders of a group of British colonists in North America rebelling against the British throne, titled “The Declaration Of Independence”—the most dangerous words of which are: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/victor2.jpg

In 1776, American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson asserted that all men are created equal…

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/victor1.png

…the year following, in 1777, French aristocrat Victor d'Hupay said no they aren’t.

For the past 243 years, the diametrically opposed philosophies of Thomas Jefferson and Victor d'Hupay have waged battle against each other in every corner of the globe—and during the past 100 years alone, has seen communism killing over 100 million people—but that in no way whatsoever has diminished the allure and power of communism, as when it’s “cloaked in democracy”, it remains the most effective means to subjugate human beings and place them under the tyrannical control of a ruling elite class.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union communist government in 1991, many believed that this deadly and failed ideology had finally been swept into the dustbin of history—I wasn’t one of them—because, at the same time Russia was killing off the last vestiges of communism, I watched as thousands of their most educated communist thinkers and engineers flooded into nearly every United States college and university—most particularly California and New York.
In late 1995, I began a correspondence with Wayne Green, one of the earliest leaders of the American high tech revolution, who warned that these Russian communists had not only infiltrated universities, but were indoctrinating an entire generation of computer engineers—one of the most publically known of whom is Sergey Brin—the Soviet communist born computer scientist who controls history’s largest tech giant Google.

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/victor3.png

Aided by Mr. Green’s research about the communist infiltration into US universities and high tech companies, it hasn’t been hard for me over these past 25 years to figure out exactly what they were doing—and is why I wasn’t surprised at all last year when Sergey Brin ordered Google to remove its “Don’t Be Evil” clause from its code of conduct—an action that exactly coincided with the Chinese communist government fully instituting its tyrannical dystopian nightmare “Social Credit System” that Vice President Mike Pence most accurately called “an Orwellian system premised on controlling virtually every facet of human life”—and that was “Made In The USA” by both Google and Facebook.

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/victor4.jpg

Virtually unknown to people in the West, communist China does have a democratic voting system—a system, however, that more resembles elections in Europe than the United States—but when combined last year with their dystopian nightmare “Social Credit System”, saw all opposition to President Xi Jinping and his communists being blacklisted, censored and wiped out from all social media—thus predictably allowing President Xi to remain in power for life.

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/victor5.jpg

After Google and its social media giant allies masterminded the Chinese communist victory last year, this high tech bandwagon of socialist radicals has now pulled into America to do the same—a fact shockingly admitted to by top Google executive Jen Gennai—who was secretly videotaped last week by the whistleblowing organization Project Veritas revealing the Google plan to keep “the Trump situation” from occurring again in 2020—a chilling video Google banned from its YouTube site—the highly popular Vimeo video service has banned from their site, too—the leftist mainstream media refuses to tell the American people about it and let them see it—and today can only be viewed in its full horror and terror on a protected US government server HERE provided by Republican Party US Congressman Louie Gohmert—and in whose official statement declared:
This video shows Google’s biases are now a threat to a free and fair election, all while they hide behind the immunity given by Congress years ago when they were supposed to be a simple ‘town square’ where everyone’s voice could be heard without biased results.
In fact, Google references a significant role they see themselves fulfilling in the 2020 elections.
This discovery should set off alarm bells throughout the country.

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/victor6.png

Quickly following in Google’s communist footsteps to rig the 2020 election against President Trump was the leftist social media giant Reddit—who bill themselves as “The Front Page Of The Internet”—but yesterday “quarantined” the popular pro-Trump forum hours before the first Democrat Party debate—a tactic used by Chinese communists last year to suppress all negative comments about President Xi before he was “elected” president for life—and in this case saw Trump’s supporters not being able to tell other Americans about the too many to list Democrat Party insanities they witnessed during this debate—some of the most outrageous of which included:
Democrat Party US Senator Elizabeth Warren refusing to rule out confiscating all the guns in America from its law abiding citizens.
Democrat Party New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio joining other Democrats in calling for the American people to stripped of their private health insurance.
Democrat Candidate Julian Castro demanding that all biological men be given the immediate right to have an abortion—but his not saying how this is humanly possible.

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/victor7.jpg

Now folks I’ve got to tell you, as “all-powerful” as these communist high tech forces, Democrat Party socialists and leftist mainstream media elites appear to be, they pale in comparison to the awesome and historic might of the British Empire arrayed against a handful of subjugated colonists in North America who dared to believe that “All Men Are Created Equal”, and that their right to determine their future was given to them by God, not anyone else.
With this vision, these subjugated British colonists “pledged their life, liberty and sacred honor” to free their nation’s citizens from despotic tyranny—and whom we known today as America’s Founding Fathers—who not only defeated the mighty British Empire, but forged a nation that today is now the greatest, freest, richest and most powerful one human history has ever known.
Having inherited by right this American nation, its people today should remember that this gift was given to them with a warning—delivered upon his exiting the Constitutional Convention when American Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, when approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government had been created, answered them by saying “A republic, if you can keep it”.
So today, Dear Friends, I’m respectfully asking, no - pleading, for everyone reading these words to “keep it”—you know “you can” if you want to—and is as simple as your aiding those of us on the front lines of this war battling these communists with everything we have so you don’t have to—and is EXACTLY what the American people were called upon to do during all of their darkest hours when all seemed lost, and when called upon, rose up in mass remembering and responding to Our Lord’s most sacred promise: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
With God,

Every six month or so, the Bank of International Settlements, also known as the central banks' central bank, publishes some dire warning about the increasingly precarious state of the global financial system - largely as a result of an unprecedented monetary experiment that is now pushing on a string - and every six months or so the world's most important central bankers congregate on 18th floor of the circular BIS tower in Basel where they decide to ignore all the warnings and double-down on policies that haven't worked in a decade, with the expectation that they will work this time (or at least make the world's richest even richer, while destroying the middle class).


Well, today is one of those days, because at midnight on June 30, the BIS published it Annual Economic Report for the year 2019, and of course, this report too and the speech delivered alongside the Annual General Meeting in Basel by Agustin Carstens, will be summarily ignored by those who matter, until the next financial crisis strikes and everyone is shocked how there were no signals indicating the arrival of what will soon be the greatest financial catastrophe in world history.

Of course, the BIS won't make any such dire predictions - the last thing it needs is to be accused of sowing the panic that unleashes a crisis - it will however warn that after a failed attempt by central banks to renormalize monetary policy, governments must step in to stimulate their economies and fix policy imbalances that have forced central banks to use up most of their firepower: “The continuation of easy monetary conditions can support the economy, but make normalization more difficult, in particular through the impact on debt and the financial system,” the BIS warned.


https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...ates%20BIS.jpg


As a result of central banks going all in again in what some have dubbed the last rate to the bottom, “the narrow normalization path has become narrower.”
If that wasn't enough, in his speech, Carstens explicitly brought attention to this critical issue:
While the near-term outlook is still good, there are many vulnerabilities further out. For the global economy to remain on course towards clear skies, other policies need to play a bigger role and policymakers must take a longer-term perspective. In particular, a better mix is required between monetary policy, fiscal policy, macroprudential measures and structural reforms. And navigating the way to clear skies also means balancing speed with stability as well as conserving some fuel to cope with possible headwinds. This matters all the more given the many uncertainties and risks we face today.

The above excerpt comes from the speech by BIS general manager Agustin Carstens who urge politicians to “ignite all engines” to overcome a global soft patch, which can no longer be punted on central banks in hopes that lower rates will stimulate the global economy for one simple reason: with rates at all time lows, there is virtually nothing left to cut. Worse, rates are now so low that - at least the BIS admits - banks are now suffering as a result of monetary policy:
Price stability - central banks' key mandate - naturally reinforces the case for maintaining policy accommodation, or easing further, as inflation is below target.

Closely related is the need to bring inflation expectations back towards target. This approach is even more compelling if financial markets look fragile, as they appeared late last year, and could impact the economy adversely. The greater the uncertainty about conditions in the financial system and the macro economy, the stronger the case for a more gradual strategy.

At the same time, the gains from such a strategy could be associated with costs and less room for policy manoeuvre in the future. The possible costs arise mainly through financial channels. The historically low-for-long interest rates tend to compress banks' margins, lower profits and hence reduce banks' ability to build up capital, essential for a productive economy.

And here is the #timestamp for you warning, so that the next time banks complain that nobody could have possibly seen the catastrophe coming, one can counter that their very supervisor warned them (and again, and again), of what was coming:
Very easy financial conditions may boost growth in the near term but may further build up vulnerabilities. And persistently low rates may undermine efficient resource allocation and productivity

Under such circumstances, the BIS warns, the future room for policy manoeuvre could shrink for two reasons:

1. To the extent that normalization does not end up weakening economic activity, a more gradual approach would reduce policy space directly.
2. More subtly, the side effects of very accommodative policies might themselves sap the economy's ability to withstand higher rates, making any normalisation harder.

Meanwhile, since monetary policy has been "unconventional" for more than a decade, the BIS also points out that in addition to the conventional recent bogeymen of trade protectionism and China's deleveraging, as a result of the prolonged period of easy financial conditions "many vulnerabilities have built up and could throw the global economy off course," i.e. there are now bubbles everywhere, including household debt, the leveraged loan market, and emerging markets feasting on USD-denominated debt:

1. One such vulnerability is high household debt in many advanced economies, especially those not directly affected by the Great Financial Crisis. These historically high debt levels limit the scope for households to drive economic activity.
2. Another vulnerability is clear signs of overheating in the corporate sector in a number of advanced countries. Following high growth, the leveraged loan market is now some USD 3 trillion in size, comparable to the collateralised debt obligations that amplified the subprime crisis. Structured products such as collateralised loan obligations (CLOs) have surged. Credit standards have been declining as investors have searched for yield. Should the leveraged loans sector deteriorate, the economic impact could be amplified through the banking system and other parts of the financial system that hold leveraged loans and CLOs. There could be sharp price adjustments and funding tensions. These risks should be seen in the broader context of the longer-term deterioration in credit quality and the generally high corporate leverage in many advanced economies.
3. High levels of debt also point to vulnerabilities in a number of emerging market economies (EMEs). In some cases, these are in the household sector.
4. Most often, they are in the corporate sector, not least as foreign currency debt has expanded strongly since the crisis. The current vulnerabilities reflect in part spillovers from prolonged accommodative monetary policies in advanced economies, as EMEs are especially vulnerable to capital flow reversals and exchange rate fluctuations.

Meanwhile, even as central bank ammunition has dwindled to almost nothing, global growth is slowing: "If anything, the slowdown appears to be worsening and spreading since the Report went to press. There are signs of weaker consumption and investment."

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...20expected.jpg

Not only that, but as the BIS also warns, significant near-term risks exist. Notably, the trade tensions that contributed to the slowdown could flare up again, even as financial conditions are undergoing major shifts.

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...S%20shifts.jpg

Other threats include political economy risks in some countries. China's deleveraging is not complete. And if past experience is anything to go by, the contraction phase of the financial cycles under way in many countries is likely to act as a headwind for global growth.

The BIS' bottom line, with monetary policy now helpless, structural reforms are vital and fard as it is politically, it is essential to revive the flagging efforts to implement structural policies designed to boost growth. These days, policies to adapt economies to rapid technological and other structural changes are especially important.

Clear skies may be over the horizon, but we have yet to cross it. Many risks and vulnerabilities exist, and political uncertainty is high. The course towards normalisation has called for some deviations. A sustainable flight path requires the long-overdue full engagement of all four policy engines, rather than short-term turbo charges. By taking a longer view, one can better balance the needs of today with the needs of tomorrow.

The punchline: "hard as it is politically, it is essential to revive the flagging efforts to implement policies designed to boost growth... Monetary policy can no longer be the main engine.”

Public pensions across the U.S. have a big problem: The gap between their assets and liabilities is growing while the outlook for investment returns is worsening.

“For the next 10 years, our expected returns are 6.1%, not 7%,” Chief Investment Officer Ben Meng told the board of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System last week. Calpers, the country’s largest pension at about $366 billion, lowered its long-term investing return target to 7% in late 2016.

Here’s a look at what has happened and what pensions are doing about it:
The Funding Gap Is Widening

Even a record bull stock market hasn’t been enough of a boost, as the average U.S. plan had only 72.5% of its future long-term obligations in 2018, compared with more than 100% in 2001. Recessions, insufficient government contributions and generous benefit guarantees have caused the imbalance to grow, according to the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, and investing decisions often hurt too.

“The really bad plans went heavily out of equities after the financial crisis,” said Jean-Pierre Aubry, associate director.

Unfunded Liabilities

Simpler Has Been Better
Pensions that bet aggressively on stocks, especially U.S. companies, outperformed funds that poured into so-called alternative investment vehicles like hedge funds or private equity. “Sometimes diversification, while it’s the right strategy, makes you look dumb,” said Andrew Junkin, president of Wilshire Consulting.

Loading up on stocks may not pay off the same in the future, according to Phillip Nelson, asset-allocation director at pension advisory firm NEPC.

“The discussion we have internally is over the next ten years is do you see an equal amount of Fed support and profit margins increasing by another 50% from this level?” Nelson said. “Both seem really unlikely to us.”

Stocks Slay

Alternatives Are in Vogue
Public pensions increased private equity allocations to 10.2% on average in 2018 from 5.6% in 2008, a trend likely to continue in the hunt for yield. Mega plans are hiring more staff to internally manage private equity and other alternative assets, which they expect to beat stocks in the future. The Texas Teachers’ Retirement System invests 40% of its portfolio in alternatives and plans to double its staff in five years.

“Our pension liability duration is 20-plus years,” said Mohan Balachandran, senior managing director of asset allocation at Texas Teachers. “We felt that we could invest for the long-term in some of these vehicles where your money’s locked up for seven to 12 years.”

Asset Allocation

Assumptions Are Getting Scaled Back
About 85% of 129 U.S. public pensions have cut return assumptions since 2014, including recently the Pennsylvania State Employees’ Retirement System. Pensions started scaling back after the last recession. The average target will probably go lower, according to Keith Brainard, research director at the National Association of State Retirement Administrators.

“Each month and each quarter that goes by with low inflation and interest rates remaining low provides more ammunition to justify lower investment returns,” Brainard said.

Moving Target

There Aren’t Any Easy Answers
While easier targets are prudent from a risk perspective, they’re not always politically palatable. A dollar drop in investment projections can mean a dollar out of the pockets of taxpayers.

The Kentucky Retirement Systems’ plan for 123,000 employees in non-emergency jobs has $2 billion in assets for $15.6 billion in liabilities. It has only a 35% allocation to equities and has stopped new investments in private equity because it can’t spare cash on volatile or locked-up holdings. The pension burden is leading to government service cuts, pay freezes and a falling headcount feeding on itself.

“We call it the death spiral,” said Executive Director David Eager. “You can’t earn your way out of this.”

Stagecraft
The playwrights of yore had a neat way of resolving sticky plots: when it seemed all was lost among the confounded mortals on stage, a supernatural figure would descend from the riggings above the proscenium, lowered in a basket on a cable — Moliere liked to use an actor playing Louis XIV, his patron — to resolve, untangle, forgive, and pardon all the complications of the story. This device is known as the Deus ex Machina, God in a machine.

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...R_s878x649.jpg


Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) announced last week that ex-Special Counsel Robert Mueller has agreed to descend from on-high into the witness chair of Mr. Nadler’s House committee chamber on July 17, presumably to resolve all the conundrums left by his semi-inconclusive RussiaGate report. Remember, in his nine-minute homily on May 29, Mr. Mueller said that if called to testify, he would only answer by referring to the text of his report — hallowed in Wokesterdom until its disappointing release.


Mr. Mueller’s notion of testimony-by-script is at least as unorthodox as his innovation of pronouncing the object of his criminal inquiry “not exonerated,” an unprecedented and certainly extra-legal spin to the prosecutorial standard of finding an indictable offense or not — without added aspersions, insinuations, and defamations. Meanwhile, Mr. Mueller’s standing as a potent God figure has eroded badly. He started out in 2017 as the Avenging Angel in a Brooks Brother’s suit, morphed into Yahweh as the RussiaGate Mob patiently awaited his Last Judgment, and then got demoted to mere Sphinx-hood after his Sacred Text failed its basic task: to oust the Golden Golem of Greatness from his unholy occupation of the White House.

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...y-1024x708.jpg


Did Mr. Nadler summon Mr. Mueller from beach or lake-side to just recite chapter and verse from his report? What would be the point of that? Well, perhaps to whip up enough media froth to refresh the public’s memory of how Comrade Trump stole the 2016 election at the bidding of his Russian handlers. Is that all?

Could be.

The problem is that Mr. Nadler’s majority Democrat members are not the only ones who get to ask questions. Did the Chairman forget that? Or did he think the minority — including Reps. Collins, Jordan, Gohmert, and Gaetz — would just lob softballs at the witness?

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...i-1200x630.jpg


I can think of a few 90-mph sliders I’d like to pitch to Mr. Mueller, some of them already floated in the press: like,
why did you allow the GI cell phones of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page to be destroyed shortly after you were informed about their unprofessional and compromising text exchanges, for which they were fired off your “team?”

When did you learn that international men-of-mystery Stefan Halper and Josef Mifsud, whose operations spurred your prosecutions, were not Russian agents but rather in the employ of US and British government intel agencies?

Your deputy, Andrew Weissmann, was informed by Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr in the summer of 2016, months before your appointment, that the predicating documents for your inquiry, known as the Steele Dossier, amounted to a Clinton campaign oppo research digest — when did he happen to tell you that?

You devoted nearly 20 pages of your report to the Trump Tower meeting between the president’s son, Donald, Jr., and two Russians, lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin. Why did you omit to mention that both Russians were in the employ of Glenn Simpson’s Fusion GPS company, candidate Clinton’s oppo research contractor, and met with Mr. Simpson both before and after the Trump Tower meeting?

How did it happen that you hired attorney Jeannie Rhee for your team, knowing that she had previously worked as a lawyer for the Clinton Foundation?

Under what legal standard did you pronounce Mr. Trump to be “not exonerated” in the obstruction of justice matter, considering you told the Attorney General, Mr. Barr, that it was not based on findings by the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel concerning presidential immunity from indictment?

The public has been well-distracted by the Democratic Party primary circus, and all reporting about the aftermath of RussiaGate has vanished from the front pages of the news media.

Ostensibly, Hillary Clinton is enjoying her solitary walks in the Chappaqua woods and all seems well in the Deep State world. Yet, consider that wild things lurk in those thickets. The DOJ Inspector General, Mr. Horowitz, is overdue with his own report — perhaps stymied by a lack of cooperation in wringing declassified documents from the hands of the many intel agencies involved… while Mr. Barr and his deputy, John Durham, are at work in the background on their own investigation. There will also be repercussions upcoming in the matter of General Flynn, who switched attorneys recently and may be reconsidering his guilty plea based on Mr., Mueller’s prosecutorial misconduct in withholding exculpatory evidence from Judge Emmet Sullivan’s court.

It’s just possible that Robert Mueller will not be reading chapter and verse from his sacred report, like an old-school Episcopal priest, but rather pleading the Fifth Amendment to avert his own potential prosecution.

Good Day Folks

I opened this account on June 18, 2019. I have recently developed a Forex strategy that if learned and followed will make you very wealthy over the next few years if you qualify. It is you that need to qualify not me deciding that.

In this account starting with $50,000 US Dollars, I did 21 Forex trades between June 18, 2019 and June 28, 2019, a period of 11 trading days. All 21 Forex trades were profitable and there were no losses. All the trades were done in REAL TIME and SCREENSHOTS were always taken.

So for just under 1/3 of a month, I was able to net over $8500.00 US dollars or 17% Return On Investment (ROI) The exact amount is $8611.50 US dollars.

From a previous post;
Quoting CKXnlp3R

{quote} Hi, You are definitely right about leaving the positions open. I have encountered such thing numerous times and eventually closed the positions with the loss. I realized that sometimes it is best to analyze the situation like what you have described many many times, before letting the emotion rush make the decisions.
Thanks again for your post, I enjoy reading it a lot! It starts to become part of my reading hobby now, lol

Thank you for the kind words. That is my goal here along with KeepCalmfx. When you learn something then we are happy. I appreciate the feedback and the more that you post with any and all comments then the better.

The last few days were very much fun for me and whether I trade a $50,000 US Funds Demo Account or a REAL FUNDS $50,000 US Funds account you must treat both the same. When I have a DRAW DOWN compared to closing all my positions. I have the same HIGH doing it because for me they are both the same. Of course in my case having traded millions of US Dollars with real funds then I know that I trade the same way. I once thought that my contact at PFG BEST in Chicago , Casey C had a client for me who had $5,000,000 US Dollars for me to manage so he at my request opened a $5.000,000 US Funds Demo Account.

I traded it for exactly 56 days and got my balance over $7,500,000 US Dollars and did 1804 Forex Trades. Looking at the volume of $100,000 US Dollars per open position times 1804 Forex Trades is a lot of Millions traded. I have sent the PDF File of my 1804 Forex Trades to KeepCalmfx to verify my numbers and it can be confirmed. The amount of losses that I had in those 1804 Forex Trades (DEMO) of course was 4 LOSSES.

I doubt anyone can duplicate that MYSELF included. That was 10 years ago and I did not use my Money Flow Trading Method then.

Good Morning

I have been trading this FXCM UK $50,000 US dollars Demo Account for two weeks now. The account was opened on June 18, 2019. There have been 24 Forex trades done in this two week period. All of the 24 trades were winning trades. All of the trades done in real time with screenshots done before and after.

The trades done was the shorting of US 30 (The Dow 30) and SP500 (The S&P 500)

The total net profit or Return on Investment was $10,319.90 Us dollars. That is over 20% in a period of two weeks. Historically any return over 5% monthly is considered to be extraordinary and would put anyone acheiving these results consistently among the top Forex traders in the world.

There of course is a logical reason that I achieve these results. I would call it thinking outside of the box and using common sense instead of the accepted norms of Forex trading. This method has been used and developed over the last 16 years since 2003. Any questions will be answered by posting your questions here on this thread.

Return to Gold Standard
In addition to wanting 0% rates, Shelton seeks a return to the gold standard and has written that central banks ‘are the world’s biggest currency manipulators’

Her Own Words
Please consider Judy Shelton in Her Own Words.


Monetary Policy
Ms. Shelton argues that central banks’ interest-rate moves cause economic disruptions by manipulating currencies in ways that affect global trade.
Curiously, she must think that 0% rates do not cause economic disruptions.

When asked in a recent interview with the Journal’s opinion page whether the Fed should cut interest rates now, she said, “The answer is yes,” a view that aligns with Mr. Trump’s recent public comments. She said, “When you have an economy primed to grow because of reduced taxes, less regulation, dynamic energy and trade reforms, you want to ensure maximum access to capital.

Monetary Stimulus
Ms. Shelton opposed the Fed’s efforts to stimulate the economy in the aftermath of the recession, arguing that the central bank’s low interest rates and asset purchases enriched the wealthy while putting everybody else at risk of a sharp increase in inflation or a new asset bubble. “It is ironic that concern for wage earners serves to justify money pumping by the Fed that ends up largely benefiting people who have hefty stock-market portfolios, especially at a time when “income inequality” is a major White House theme,” she wrote in a 2014 Journal opinion article published after then-Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen had addressed Congress. “Perhaps one of our elected representatives on Capitol Hill can explain to Ms. Yellen that when the low-grade fever of perpetual inflation becomes a full-blown economic malady—when the next financial bubble bursts with horrible consequences for the real economy—average Americans will pay the biggest price.”
Once again this is peculiar because 0% interest rates also cause bubbles.

The Gold Standard
Ms. Shelton has repeatedly called for a return to the gold standard, a monetary regime that pegged the value of the dollar to the value of gold. That would make it impossible for the Fed to affect the strength of the dollar through monetary policy, she writes. “For all the talk of a “rules-based” system for international trade, there are no rules when it comes to ensuring a level monetary playing field. The classical gold standard established an international benchmark for currency values, consistent with free-trade principles.

Sorry Judy. You cannot peg the dollar to the price of gold. It does not work.
You can however, make the dollar redeemable in a fixed amount of gold as long as these conditions hold.

1. The dollar is 100% gold back.Banks cannot lend money into existence.
2. There is no fractional reserve lending nor MMT madness.
3. Banks cannot lend money for terms that exceed deposit rights (e.g. Issuing a 2-Year CD and making a loan for 10 years)

The Dollar
Ms. Shelton favors a hard dollar, by which she means one whose value doesn’t fluctuate depending on monetary policy.
Sorry Judy, this is also impossible as stated. The three conditions above again apply.

Think Back to Nixon
For those who do not understand why you cannot peg the dollar to the price of gold, think back to Nixon.
He ended convertibility of dollars to gold because the Bretton Woods agreement pegging an ounce of gold at $35 blew sky high in a mass flight of gold to France.
You cannot have a fixed price of gold with budget deficits and monetary printing out the wazoo.

You can, under strict conditions noted above, allow a dollar to represent a fixed amount of gold. That's the correct way.
The dollar will then buy what it does. Yes, it will be very stable.

Convoluted Thinking
Shelton has clearly convoluted thinking, but arguably she is no worse than anyone else on the Fed.
I welcome the choice if for no other reason than to get gold back into discussion.

Good Evening Folks

I have developed an amazing trading Forex trading system. Of course unless you can control your fear and your greed and your ego you will never be able to have winning results trading Forex with leverage of 100 to 1.

At the moment as you can see from this screenshot I have open six positions. Three are SP500 and Three are US30. They are all short. I have a small drawdown and I am using margin of $6750 for these 6 open short open positions.

My target will be 40% Return on investment. I have already reached 20% on my 24 closed winning Forex trades. If you have the 90 days and $500 US Dollars then I can teach you and see if you have what it takes to make money trading Forex. I charge $250 US dollars to sign up and after the 90 days the balance. If I do not improve your Forex trading substantially within the 90 day traing period then you do not owe the balance.

Good Morning BenjaminIs,

Yesterday, it was nice talking to you on phone. Just for my curiosity, could you plz
Explain one of your trade for S&P 500, you Shorted @18.00pm( E.S.T ) on July 03rd.,
And the NY market was closed., because normally you decide in the morning time
Weather it is a RISK OFF/ON.

Now a days, I can also see that you make trades in different times other than morning.
Could you plz explain so I could learn. Take care.

Hi BenjaminIs,

On our phone conversations, you said that you closed the previous accounts.

I am talking about Account# 01037484 & 00411156, both opened in January.
You can see your post# 5376. May I know what was the balance when you closed
Them. do not you think those two would have been a great evidence to show people
If you had uploaded screen shots before you closed., just my humble opinion.

Is there any restrictions from FXCM that if your account goes beyond certain balance
Then you have to close it., mind you it is a Demo. Plz advise. thanks,

Blain's Morning Porridge, submitted by Bill Blain of Shard Capital

“I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America.”

Happy birthday America! This morning’s intro-quote is over 170 years old – and I could only use it on a day when all good Americans will be on holiday. Extra points to anyone who can name the author sans Google.

Interesting markets y’day. European bonds were off to the races, perceiving new ECB head Christine Legarde as QE lower-for-longer dove who will continue to ease, ease and ease like Draghi. Bunds at -0.40%! Even Italian 2-year notes dipped below zero percent as the EU dropped threats to take action against the deficit. Some day we shall shake our heads in disbelief at that price…

In the States, the Dow hit a new high, and Trump tweeted it as a personal triumph. He is not so stupid as to mistake the stock market as a proxy for economic health – but he is making idiots of the American people by telling them it is. To keep up the illusion, he’s nominated new names to the Fed likely to toe his dovish line. Much comment on the private networks y’day about Trump’s latest nominations to the board – Judy Shelton being a particularly intriguing choice as Fed critic and gold standard advocate. For the Fed to lose credibility doesn’t just need Powell to surrender – packing the board will be just as effective.

The bottom line is financial assets remain absolutely distorted by QE asset inflation. While its been great news for the market, the real economy remains deflated. That’s what Jerome Powell and Christine Lagarde should be thinking about as they play with the monetary policy toolbox.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the chance of achieving real returns are getting more and more difficult. I had the same conversation with 3 different fund managers yesterday. They all went along the lines of:
Bill: “Hi! What’s up, what you looking at..?”

Fund Manger: “Well I’ve got to buy assets, but yields are too low, spreads are too tight and market so thin. Any ideas?”

B: “Excellent, we need to talk about some of my alternative investments- what about something you can fully due diligence with a proper risk/return profile 8% return and secured on solid performing aircraft assets used by decent credit airlines? Or, how about a 10% convertible based on monetising proven technology with a definite Green angle?”

FM: “Sound great, but are you reading the headlines? We can’t even think about buying illiquid assets these days…”
For the bulk of public funds, pension and insurance managers – the real money market – the doors on risk assets have been slammed shut. The well-publicised Illiquid asset problems at GAM, Woodford and H2O has triggered all kinds of market over-reaction. All around the market Funds that have been carefully investing “patient capital” in smart alternative real assets are being told by their management to hold back from further investments, and pile into liquidity instead.

Why? Because a couple of funds got it wrong? Because senior management fear regulatory backlash and client fury if they are caught making similar mistakes.

It doesn’t help that there is so much corporate dross around. Here in the UK the papers are full of stories of Funding Circle’s mounting financial woes, and comparing it to Lendy (which went bust after it’s naïve lending strategy imploded.) While the FT reports one successful student accommodation provider buying another from a major Canadian investor, it also carries the sad tale of another that funded itself from retail promising a 10% return on properties – the receivers are now chasing the individual investors for ground rents and service charges on empty student rooms. Don’t get me started about “mini-bonds” and London Capital and Finance – they give the bond market a bad name.

It’s a two-way street. There are bad investments and there are bad investors. If you are invested in risky buy higher yielding instruments – be very aware of the risks, which includes being locked in if the market turns. Don’t try to pretend otherwise. Also be aware that when markets lock – as they did for financials during the crisis – nearly every bond asset ended up performing as expect and repaid. Sure a few struggled, but generally investors that had invested well and diligently got their money and interest back when markets reopened.

Unfortunately, it’s equally clear regulators are terribly excited about an opportunity to throw themselves into the market and chuck some more rules into the equation. Their plan will no doubt be even stricter investment parameters dictating how liquid portfolios should be – without considering the consequences. Basically, regulators will regulate to protect investors from their decisions to invest.. You can’t regulate against stupidity – which is basically the root cause of 90% of fund collapses!


I can’t comment on the reasons funds found themselves in trouble by investing in deeply illiquid assets. Perhaps it’s the attraction of an above market coupon, or the promise of stellar returns, or not seeing past an apparent guarantee. But every case of an investor buying an asset and then discovering it is not what they thought they were buying is an example of failed due diligence and bad decisions. It happens. I’ve seen some very clever investors buy some incredibly stupid things and walk away smarter people.


All of which means investors are wracking their brains to work out how to generate any returns. If they buy liquidity – then they get effectively zero returns, and will be utterly reliant on Global Central Banks continuing to ease rates to boost bond and stock prices… further hiking financial asset inflation. If you were smart enough to have bought Treasuries or European bonds back in January, you would now be sitting on huge gains as yield tightened.


But the brutal reality is no one is going to get their pension paid if European bonds carry negative yields and Treasuries just a smidge more. If you buy Treasuries, then you pretty much know they will remain a liquid investment in all circumstances. But, are regulators now going to classify corporate bonds and anything outside the FTSE or DOW as illiquid?

Because that is what will happen when a market crunch comes. Markets will freeze, and just about every corporate bond on the planet will likely be "locked".


Which will be the moment for smart money to post ridiculously low bids and start scooping bargains, secure in the knowledge the market is never as bad as it looks. It happened in 2007/9 and it will happen again.

Even better are the opportunities currently available in the alternatives space – since so many funds are now running scared on liquidity, it’s an opportunity for smart money to step in and buy. Although we advise clients alternatives will be highly illiquid, we are also talking to many accounts and generating secondary interest in even the most complex asset classes – which means there are buyers out there waiting to buy at the right price.

Now… what shall I do for the rest of this Independence Day? Who is up for lunch?
