Well guys, after these explanations of the behavior to take,
I would say the following thing:
Although this is a thread on the EURUSD, but naturally I am working on other crosses.
In this regard I am looking EURGBP and I think today we will see the minimum in carrying on the upside.
Personally I am already slightly long but to mitigate the downtrend I remain long on EURJPY as an example.
In any case, for those interested, the minimum that the market will mark today, will be the support on daily basis.
The best thing that can happen to you is to find out where you're wrong.

Not to sound crass but...what's stopping you from participating there instead if you feel this place is deteriorating?

It's not set up for a bunch of elitists to shoot the breeze.

To use your words, you're trying hard, are polite and, post charts from time to time and can 'take it on the chin' if you're wrong. That's exactly what the thread is about. Minus the chest thumping and pissing contest.
Nothing is stopping me posting there. I have looked in from time to time and I see a lot of the same problems that are here.....to whit.....stupid and off topic jokes and pictures, interspersed with similarly off topic youtube clips.

I can take a joke, from time to time, but this isn't supposed to be comedy hour. It's serious business for people who are using real money. Surely it is in the interest of all, to focus on the trading, and leave the other crap aside. Yes a joke now and then is good to lighten the mood etc, but enough is enough.

Of course, with the constant play by play cut 'n' paste of Pipster888, I can understand the urge to move away from this thread!

End of topic,..

I don't really see what all the angst is about. FF is a big place and there are all kinds of threads for all kinds of folks. If you don't like the neighborhood, a move-out is just a mouse click away. Hey, start your own thread and have a happy home there. What is up with the evangelical stick wielding? I have a long list of lucky personages from this thread in my iggy bin but I am regularly reminded of them when the deputies show up to quote and admonish them.

People participate in the forums for different reasons. You can tailor the forum content by using the Ignore button. Don't like to see me post you-tube clips? Put me in the bin, it won't hurt my feelings, honestly. The problem with having a police force is always the same: occasionally you really do need them but all too often they become more trouble than they're worth. And who polices the police?

The angst is simple really. Professional traders want to converse, share thoughts and analysis, and butt heads against other professional traders.

Please note: I include anyone with a consistent trading approach, decent grasp of the English language (hey it doesn't have to be perfect, and as long as I can understand you I don't care about spelling), something useful to add to the topic at hand as a professional.

I don't like to see:
* Gamble trades
* Trades without calls
* Calls without charts (or at least justification)
* Posting a call and then not posting the exit because it moved against you
* Play by plays of anything I can see on the following websites:
- finance.yahoo.com
- finance.google.com
- forexlive.com
- actionforex.com
- my own charts
- etc
* Unprofessional behaviour (especially including insulting other people, sexist remarks and links/pics, etc).

Is that really so much to ask? This is the section titled "Interactive Trading". People should come into this area and feel they have stepped into a live trading room.

I won't bother commenting anymore, what I have realised about FF is simple: I tend to unconciously go and share where the above criteria is met. Just think of the potential these threads would have if everyone behaved professionally.

Hi, I understand where you're getting at.

I enjoy the mix we get in here - the camp that is here to help and learn and the other camp that comes here with their cowboy get up, trail blazes their way here and after a while disappears.

Well, all I can say is what really matters is how long you stay in the business and how fat your pocket gets from all the pips. Ignore the cowboys and learn a thing or two from the ones who have been here longer

It's not a concentration camp, guy. People can do as they please. Don't like what I post? Use the ignore button. If you want to elevate the thread content to something consistently "professional", go ahead and give that a shot. There are other threads that are more "professional" and you can learn alot there, too. A thread run by the tight-ass police is going to be empty like the one "next door" pretty quick, though.

Dood, I DO enjoy your posts, for the most part. I'm not suggesting this thread be run by "the tight-ass police". All I am saying is that this thread is very fast becoming a pseudo comedy forum. There are precious few experienced traders left here from which we novices can learn because they have abandoned ship. I'm simply asking that posters respect the title of the forum.

Is that so hard to do?

This is really offtopic do not read:

I enjoy being here and trading with with everyone. I use that ignore button and move on with trading. I'm just here more for the company of fellow traders than anything else.

So I put a call out to you the ones who enjoy the
camaraderie

we all share while trading to just use that ignore and report buttons and they will go away eventually.

OK, peace RJ. I'm gonna post a chart with my trades after the FO/LO. I'm going to do some scalping then and I'm going to score about 50 pips in a couple hours. 4-10 pips at a time. I'll be looking for nice reversals and visible momentum around then - the same things that I tend to call before they occur right here on this funky thread, with regularity.

I have posted such charts before and people (almost) never had shit to say about them. People tend to make things more complicated than they need to be.

Meanwhile, happy trades, I'm off to the pool.

what u say man vary true
first if one say a viewpoint about trade some people don't like to
Discussed they want just luge or fun
or say bad words
from last day some people make me vary nerves ,
how say i don't understand form u go learn English
i will say true aim not good English but u can understand me but u want just fun or show hate for no thing
and how put poster or video
and in last i sorry for all how i say bad word to them and he not deserve to talk to him
but i don't like undercover attack
i straight in my view and i don't like be child and just talk
but that thread is beast one i see in share from long time
and u can see many people how u can respect them views like in example
driver55 he have good view and he like to share

I'm waiting for this level. I've learnt over time that often the trade will come to you so wait instead of pulling the trigger. If it doesn't happen, at least my pips are safe.

Well, for what it's worth.....I am out of the trading until a clear direction becomes apparent. It's too easy to get whip-sawed all over the place with this PA, and I know better than to trade it it....or so I thought!! No major damage done to my account, but it's best for me to sit this out for a while before I do get myself into a jam!!

Good luck to you who can trade this though.....

Good decision Real.

It is better to lose an opportunity than to lose money. In any case pa is coming back the level it leaves today only to give you a better opportunity. It happened before and may happen again.
