Hopefully everything is ok with Skunny's Dad. The fact that he's been MIA for a while makes you wonder how things are going.
PipHunter
Sure Seem's To Be A Lot Of Bull Going On Here.
But Then Again I Have Only Been Doing This For 1.5 Years.
You ThinK We Can Get To Something Constructive.
Good Tradeing
I'm stopping in quick to update all of you that are patiently waiting. I also chose this post as an example.
The example I'm trying to show is how to react positive to a negative. At this time I'm going to lift a requirement I set early on in the thread. This required everyone to ignore the negative posts. I've decided that as long as you can produce a post that doesn't spread the negativity (name calling etc) I'm okay with the humorous responses(we all need it). Take your time and don't post knee jerk reaction posts
. Here is my go at it:Hello Forex It
,I see by your post you have an amazing amount of experience. I want to be the first to congratulate you for making it this far. I'm sure someone as seasoned as yourself will be starting a new thread in which you can teach me how to trade correctly and expeditiously
. I'm open to all your great trading "methods". In fact, if you want this thread, I'm happy to let you have it. I will be absent this week as I already made my pip quota last night and I have personal issues to tend to. However this is a majority rule thread and if the traders here don't want your info, you may have to start your own. Take care and good luck, hope you make it another 1.5 years(18months)._____________________________________________________________
For the rest: I know you all feel blessed right now, mostly in part by Forex It joining the thread, but even though he will now have the reigns, I want to let all of you know I'm trying to put some exercises together. It is important I don't confuse you like I may have in the past. You all must recognize, that I wasn't prepared to offer a system for you to follow, but rather to share some training ideas to help you trade your current systems with better accuracy. But, I've switched my focus and I'm going to come up with a "system" you can test and follow. This will take a little while to accomplish, I want to avoid a slew of unnecessary questions that will consume more of my time. I hope you understand. I will still post during the week to help with what I've already said, just less frequent.
Blueruby, you are on the right path with your testing, now figure out, with what you know, why the losers were losers. Don't worry about the winners. You may have to go down a time frame to figure stuff out
.Gotta run for now. Take care.

Thanks again Skunny for the hints and ideas! I have enjoyed the homework you have given so far. Definitely has piqued my interest!! I have noticed enough to make me extremely anxious for more.
As far as you providing a "system" for us to experiment with, I think it is above and beyond the call (esp. right now for you)
.............BUT please proceed with it by all means!

On the other thing PLEASE not a system!
1. I wanted to learn the guts of it, your real stuff, that I could apply to my style/strategy.
2. You'll be forever answering questions on details because everyone will trade it differently.
3. We can get systems, you had us thirsting for real "eureka" stuff. (that sounded a lot like #1)
4. I just think you'd have more success changing us into stud traders on the path you were on.
5. Remember you said you didn't want to rob us of the journey? We had the horses saddled here. (ok, ..the Harleys gassed up?)
Also, just spending a few hours sat and sun on vhands has definitely changed me.
Whatever you decide, keep it coming! Take care.
Rob

Some of the answer is already here in this thread.
maybe All of the answer is here in this thread.
skunny is not selling riddles; rather, this great thread is a koan.
i believe that i have "solved" it, but i cannot tell anyone.
the answer to a koan is "secret" because the process of discovery is more important than the answer.
revealing it would disallow the intuitive insight necessary to make it your own.
but two hints:
1) gann is misdirection.
2) one half of the answer is "fib", the other half starts with an "L"
of course, i could be entirely wrong. in either case, you need to keep looking.
just develop the certainty that there is an answer and intently work on it as if you were counting down to your last breath.
realize the universe is one thing,
and attach it to your body

Sorry Skunny.
I did not mean that your thread was bull.
In fact I believe that it is great.
I did not mean that what you are doing in not constructive.
Matter of fact when I found your thread Dec-12th I thought it was sent from God.
You about a month ago I started working on this theory of what you are talking about except I have been using the open and close points.
I did not know about vhands ea which I think think is great. Thank you.
I did not mean by my post that I had so much experiance that I did not want to learn. But that I have only been doing forex for that long.
And that I am still learnig and would very much like to continue with your thread.
I have not been reading threads very long or posting to any. Most that I have read seem to get so full of stuff that does not pertain to the subject and makes them very hard to follow.
I do however feel lucky for makeing it this far and to have found your thread.
I have no methods or anything of the sort. Just a theory similar to yours on this thread.
I do not want a thread and do not want yours as I am here to learn.
I am very sorry for the post and to anyone that I have offended.
I just got frustrated.
I am sorry to hear about your dad and pray he gets better soon.
I will from now on stay on the sidelines.
Sorry and please keep up the good work.
