this can happen with any broker on news events.. or even on random volatility. pls take this to the broker bashing threads.
luSan, Oanda is known to behave like this.

so what are you saying? we are talking too much bullshit and it interferes with your mindset?
everybody knows that any losses that occur here is only ones own fault.. and there is only 3 persons to blame - "me, myself and I".
I would hate to see this thread going down the usual path..
Picolo, this is unkind to our teacher...he has his own reason sthat we might/might not know...you know he will eventueally tell us..and bring us back into order..maybe I talked to much, I do not know...I hope he gaves some expresit rules of behavior in the thread...hey...do not forget, he is the teacher...
...as far as I concerned, he is the final word, even when some us are rebelllious studentsRegards,

because I'm unsure about my drivel allmost in the same manner as luSan, I'll reduce my postings only to really relevant topics.
Maybe we should startup another thread to keep the smalltalk away from here. Something like "fti lounge" ....

I have learned a lot from FTI and very grateful for his teachings, encourage, stories and youtube clips. Even he slapped my face, I won't be angry. He is my Shifu.
I will keep quiet too.
BTW, my OANDA platform is working well, no problems at all.

to loosen up the air in here:
luSan, for you
AT THE JOB INTERVIEW
One day a man tried to get a job at a great company. He passed every test with flying colours. At the final interview part, the CEO told him that his constant blinking would bother customers.
"I can fix that with some Aspirin. Just take some and I'll be better in a second"
So, he reaches into his pocket and pulls condom after condom out until he finds the Aspirin. He takes it and his blinking goes away.
The CEO says "We don't approve of womanizing!"
The guy says "Oh! No! Have you ever tried to ask a pharmacist for aspirin while your winking"

Hi ALL,
I am less than 10% from full recovery of the loss booked.
I am actually at the moment thinking very deeply over this training exercises I had presented to help some people here. Please do not mistaken that anyone had been anything, but great people. and I had great pleasure sitting amongst you.
It is just that there are real dangers of this way of training. On last count, I do not believe there is anyone here that is fully practising the training as it should. The few that I thought, had understood, seems to had developed their own cute looking horses. You see, all styles of trading can make money in the short term ( for a few months.) but to for it to be a viable business or retirement plan, performance must be consistent and mostly safe.
These issue arised for me, because I had stumbled the last bad trade. The loss has nearly been recovered already. Please don't worry about that. In hindsight analysis, it seems that I had developed a form of rigidity, which was identified from the episode. Where did that coome from?? What was disturbing was that as I was straying off, many were actually encouraged and there were few whistles and alarms that came from you, "the trained".
Fro that, Iwould have to conclude that either none of you understands what has been presented and not practising it, or that none of you dared to sound. (which is not a good thing). Either way I looked at it, there was no grounds for me to stand on.
I do understand that it is also very disfficult for many here to understand all that I had presented due to that you probably had different MOs before I came along. And moreover, it was difficult even when I was training live to my boys,and they were under payroll and had to adopt my style or head out the door.
What anyone here can do is, to adopt the change, in so much as they can understand . Thats where the danger lies. I had communicated to Leighsww before that if people here adopt my style, if they do it wrong, in any aspect, it can take your heads off. And this is whats biting me. If you think about it, even Leighsww had gone in a different directions.
What you may not appreciate is that this Mo requires absolute discipline, because things sometimes gets scary, as the market variance come a testing its robustness. One step out of line and we will pay dearly, as was witnessed. This case it to 40%- of this month's Profits.
What I have presented to all, is the components necessary for the development of the whole. I of course will not be carzy to show my protocol of operating it, not in a public forum, but I am too expensive for private engagement.. But in a way I have tried to present to best. Except for how the frame of mind was when certain steps were taken. I left that for you to figure it out for your self on what I had presented. The problem is I speculate that none is even close.
Remember , the difference between success or failure is only the difference of Bot or Sold. and there is a big gray zone whyby this is achieved. What I do is a very thin road , just one missed step, and it can turn out to be the highway to hell, esp with the snowballing. Consider that the bad trade was not snowballed. if I had, THINK. Something held me back , an no one here is the wiser, right? If you know what held me back m TELL ME? then you are ready.
This I have to carefully considered, not that I had considered erasing this thread so that , noone be harmed in practising it erroneously.
What was pumped directly at me, which I agree is correct is,
"Hey,(me) you haven't given them the whole thingy, they are left to their own interpretations and style. They probably do not understand. you know they may not be so experienced. So can you blame them? YOU , my friend is at fault, and may be doing them a dis-service by providing them the bullet to blow their brains out.."
