This is my first (and probably my last) post. I signed up only to write to Laura. I have read her entire interesting thread , and have seen published almost only winning trades. Dozens and dozens of screenshots with Laura's winning trades. Perfect entries and -above all- perfect exits only. Especially the exits are perfect, too perfect. You know, in trading the entries are quite easy, but the exits are difficult: instead Laura manages to cover the whole trend, collecting all the pips. Mah ... TE ?, myforexbook ?: no , just meager screenshots with...
I won't delete your post, or even dislike it. But I hope you'll allow me the right to address the points you make
Firstly, thank you for considering my entries and exits as perfect. I disagree of course. I think I've posted plenty of trades where my entries and exits were less than ideal. I could pick one of the many examples and point out where my ideal entry and exit would be. It'd rarely be the same as my actual entry or exit.
Secondly, I wouldn't know one end of Photoshop from the other but, again, I'm flattered that you give me expert status on that too.
Thirdly, we perhaps reach the crux of your complaint. That I don't show a Trade Explorer. I've repeatedly said I have no desire to provide live signals or proof of my track record.
Do I have something to hide? No, but I accept that many on FF seem to think everyone without a trade explorer is a snake-oil salesperson. Which is fine. People can make up their own minds after all.
I've also never, to my knowledge, been called "forex queen" but thanks for that
I think it's a good opportunity for me to state, again, my objectives here.
I am not here for adulation or praise. I am not here to prove anything to anyone. I'm here because I want to give something back and I believe the methodology I use (which, let's be honest, isn't actually unique to me, it's just an accumulation of things I've picked up over the years) is consistently profitable enough to share.
I give up my trading time to post here, and to provide my students with a live trading room. I do all this free of charge. I don't want people to become Laura clones or worship at my feet, I want them to find their own path to being a consistently profitable trader. Oh yes, the trading room - I think that rather blows up your theory about photoshop as we discuss our trades as they are progressing.
To be honest, I find your sense of entitlement annoying. You, and people like you, chase good people away from FF with your "he/she is a fraud" "he/she has no Trade Explorer" statements. Nobody owes you a thing. But I will continue doing what I do, as I see evidence of it helping others and I see others profiting from it.
But thank you, because in future I can direct the next "show me your myfxbook" person to this post and save myself having to answer all over again.

Laura I think you’ve reached a milestone here. Your first FF troll. You can retire now proud

{quote} Hi Swede, Could you post your indicator in your screengrab please? The one with the divergence lines on it. Thanks George
{quote} I would be happy to....but first go to the paper clip at the top of this page...it has all Laura’s downloads plus many others you might want to look at.....also tons of examples posted there also...best
I thought it was the True Trend but that does not have the divergence lines as in your post.
George
First FF post for me. Been lurking for ages and I’m afraid I won’t be posting much but I will try to contribute from time time to time.
The least I can do though is say thank you to Laura and all you contributors.
The roadmap has transformed my trading for the better. It’s the only system I’ve ever tried and what I’ve learned here has been invaluable.
I still have a million miles to go and will continue trading ridiculously small micro lots until I have the discipline to stick to the bloody rules. I know they work.
Happy trading all and massive thanks.

[quote=LauraT;13176925]{quote} Ciao Matteo! Come va oggi? I won't delete your post, or even dislike it. But I hope you'll allow me the right to address the points you make
It is such a pleasure to see a dignified response rather than a scrap that helps no one. So many of us when challenged with sarcasm, want to reply with more of the same, sort of an eye for an eye response. Especially so, when we know our underlying motive is simply to offer some useful tools to our colleagues, in a difficult industry. Your reply is an example of a true, respectful, leader. Dignity along with emotional control, instead of lashing out at those who challenge us. Thank you for that!!

{quote} Done that - but it is the divergence indicator I really would like to see. I thought it was the True Trend but that does not have the divergence lines as in your post. George
NOW, A WORD OF CAUTION......this is a very short term setting, but it does warn you of momentum changes, so just watch it on your charts for a time to see how it speaks to you....enjoy

{quote} George....go to inputs tab....enter 20 and viola....the True Trend indicator comes without a value in the entry CCI...enter a value and it will display...if not let me know.

For now, its a matter of waiting...will there be a retrace? Who knows but for now my trade is in cash....thats a trade in itself, right?
