it said in the book:
The integral of the divergence of a the trend over some major S&R equals the integral of the flux through the extreme bounding of the major S&R
that was a nice trade keep up


I dont care about the book, this method is too easy for books.

The tick chart hit the line. BUY

Then sell at the same price.


Then buy at that same price.



And make your pips along the way.

dont have to pay spread! they got to pay us spread instead when liquidity is thin. we're prime liquidity provider! remember.
Hell no, since we opened ourown ECN we are the biggrest liquidity providers during the NY/London overlap sesssion and we don't pay the spread. Hey, those commissions that we charge as ENCs are nice too.

And yes, I dreaded when we traded the hourly chart, having to sit in front of the computer all day long, managing the trades, for measly 10 pips at a time. Life is much more simpler since we started reading the tape and trading the ticks. We can post all day, relax all day, the trades manage themselfs, what paradise now as compared to when we trader the higher time frames.

Correct mate, you really understood the blank manual that I emailed you. As long as you are in the market all the time, you r a pip machine.

Mates, the marvelous stops are at it again, we only lost -3 and -3 on a trade about an hour ago. FXCM, I tell you, they are really really good at not stopping us out at -15 and -15.
This is sooo easy, there out to be a law against it.

Just a quick couple questions. I wanna start doing this stuff and I've demoed for 3 days. I can trade from 6pm to 8pm everyday except tus and weds. And I have to skip out for supper from 6:15 til 6:45 and shut dowm from 7-7:30 to catch the Brady Bunch reruns.
Will that be enough time to make this work. I know you don't reveal your method, per se, but I think I'm catching on just from watching.

And I just sold my house so I have some loose cash until 2 weeks from now when I close on my new one. Will that be enough time to turn 150k into something meaningful on my own, or would it be better to cut you guys a check and let you manage it.

And we have to keep this from my wife. I want the winnings to be a surprise.

this method is free. so easy you can do it yourself. dont watch brady bunch. and apparently you can do it just from watching. look at pinchapip, he went from newbie to pro in 24 hours time


NEVER CUT ANYONE A CHECK. also, since you havent closed on your new house yet, that would mean you're homeless. a homeless man with $150,000 in his pocket.

Sure I will post some charts tonight, but this was getting so easy and boring that I went to the beach and am trading thru my Blackberry, just watching the girls playing Kadima, when the ball is up, I buy, when they miss a return I sell. When they take a break, I move my stop 1 pip away from the current price, and have not been stopped out yet. I have to find a method for Blackberry trading on rainy days thought. I will share with u guys soon. So easy it should be illegal. Come on girls keep the volleying going, I wanna make for pips.

Jwentro could you please alaborate more the MM you are using!!!

My style for chosing a lot size is to simply pick a number that feels good,
and if it is too big the platform will tell you and then I pick a smaller number.

Is this maybe how you pros chose a lot size!??

I chose my lot size with a very difficult formula:

The cubed root of the following equation:

(Trade balance - # of trades + (trades won/margin) *1500 + Outside Temperature - My body temperature)


I think i need a new thermometer, i just opened a trade worth 22 lots.

Oh yeah. There's more of us than you think. I have a home anyway--the Motel 6 for now, but it's just temporary. The dude who bought my house gave me a post dated, two-party check. It'll clear any day now.

Stop hit, closed trade + $30,000.00. Dont' worry, we don't need to post anymore. Nor do we need to do the live demonstration.

Bagged today 10 contracts 400 pip (4 trades of 100 pips) +$40,000.00
Short on double top beach girls 100 contracts 30 pips +$30,000.00
(LOL, the price did go down for real) TOTAL DAY'S PROFIT $70,000.00

A good day at the beach is better than a bad day at the beach.
Take care all fellow traders, and use the information wisely. There is no need for a live demonstration anymore. If you need coaching contact [email protected]. Thanks to all so much.
