Hi Friends,

I know, you do not like this kind of statistics, but find it interesting.

Interesting to know that the only cross pair, GBP/JPY made that list.

I put it to you, that, to consider your Technical Studies to be more than what they are is a "fallacy" in trading the markets, not so unlike martingale gamblers' fallacy. It can lead you to a very dark place.
Someone of like mind possibly?

Feds not going to do anything except keep the status quo, but that won't keep the markets from going idle in anticipation..... it seems the current MO as of late, lots of range then break & run and back to range...ah! the dog days of summer.

Good trading everyone.

I was going to say that I thought cable might go down later as Merv likes to talk the pound down. Then I thought the markets may have already discounted that as everyone knows this already, especially after the extension of the QE announced by the BOE. Then I realised that it doen't really matter either way with this MO as long as I stay out of the way when the news comes out.

Jus for info again:

London, August 12. The Yen has gained across the board overnight, with the fall in Chinese stock markets and the scrutiny of the state of Chinese fundamentals cited. Repatriation flows linked to the $27Bln UST Coupon payments, due August 15th, are also noted in dispatches, with Japanese orders taking USD/JPY to a 95.33 low into the European return.
The price initially looked to steady around the 95.50 mark but offers into the 95.60s stalled the initial European attempts at a recovery and spot has quickly been forced to fresh lows at 95.26. On the downside, bids trail to the figure, with the intraday option expiries at the price ) offering a additional support. [i][email protected][/i]

fti, this activity is almost guaranteed as forex is full of snake oil salesmen. There are enough gullible people to keep them in business so I wouldn't worry about it if I was you. There are enough faithful people here to carry your teachings on.

I have been 'lurking' in the background for a while now - without feeling brave enough to comment - so noting the negative aspects - this prompted my first post.
I would like to thank fti & members who are maintaining the continued input. It is a big help to people like me who are looking to continue developing knowledge & hopefully skills in their trading.
Like numerous others I have invested money into courses and indicators - to find amazingly that they worked before I paid for and tested them??? but then seemed not to with live money - "due to market changes"..
So please keep up the interesting and informative thread - it makes a difference to the day.. - and with a bit of luck and much persistence I hope eventually to be able to make trading use of what is being kindly shared..
So thanks again...

I’ve watched this same scenario play out before, A few years back a couple of special individuals who mentored shared much privately to a small group were betrayed by one who took their proprietary instructions and went public…… that individual blew up several accounts behind the scenes unknowingly to the students and paid subscribers.

Life has a funny way of balancing itself……

Sorry to say but the old adage should be written, "No good deed will go unpunished".

The real losers are those who will follow them.

Fti, thanks for sharing.

Relax...this dragon destroys those of weak of heart....
Anything good will always become a merchandise...
It is tradable....UP to a point...
The fact that people want to buy/sell it
means that they see high value.
but still...how to sell a mindset?...even trying to sell it
is a proof of not having it...

Yesterday was a good day...actually the last weeks have been perfect trading days without predictions...just allowing my developing PA feeling to decide for me what to do...could this be bought or sold? I do not think so; that is the biggest lesson I learned here. Trading is an art and it must be done from the heart.

For your teachings, I thank you a thousand time.

Hi FTI,

I'm sorry to read this, but isn't a surprise, at least for me.

People are as batteries, they have a positive and a negative side.
Without the poles, doesn't work.

This is very sad to hear indeed. Once again, the actions of few on this thread ruin everything for all. I get the feeling that you might be leaving this time for good, sir. I cant say that I blame you either. I agree with Lusan, how do you sell mindset? I believe these actions are indicative of that fact, that the individuals in question truly do not understand what has been presented here in the first place.
