The System II (Yes with irony)

Wow ... just completed the read.

FX buddy your simplicity in keeping the thread to the basics, and trying to help maintain the themes to the core / essence of this style of trading is very admirable.

With any successful technique, many individuals can have their own variations. However the essence itself is still there.

If we stray away from the essence I can potentially see that in a couple of months we could be talking about a totally different method all together.

I do not see why it is so hard to maintain the basics and follow through with it.

FX has been putting a huge amount of effort and time in this thread for ZERO monetary reward. A big thank you from me buddy.

I am still very much a learner here, and last week became really excited as deployed the method live. I hope I can do this for a living as FX and Feb. However like anything it takes practice, confidence, persistence. Fear is part of the game, managing that fear comes from experience (i.e. doing it).

Hi Highroller,

Thanks man - I really appreciate your arm around my shoulder.

It's the circumstances that pain me most deeply. Things move on, people move on and that's cool. He's a friend for life now and I won't lose touch with him, I know that. I live the study of human behaviour - it's my passion - and sometimes I still hope that the more cynical aspects of it will not repeat. The purity of what has been created here is under threat, and leading it as Fx has done comes at a price. If you step into leadership you get the brickbats, the envy of others, the unfinished resentments that people feel towards their Father or Mother or teachers - all get rolled up and chucked at you. That's life I'm afraid. My sadness is that I didn't spot the signs earlier and rally more of us to stand guard around the man and protect him from what has truly hurt him (I know he says it didn't, but he is a sensitive guy with a truly generous heart and it DID/has). He is not a wordsmith, but despite that he communicates and teaches exceptionally briliantly.

Every so often through my life I have stumbled across profoundly life-changing things...and noticed that they sooner or later get the shit kicked out of them, often invisibly and subtly, by the worst of human behaviour. That's really my sadness I guess - you have to be there when it's magic, and I caught the last two months of something magical. So I have a whole new group of people who I won't forget, one or two new friendships for life and a way to make money from nothing. That is a great prize for which I will be forever grateful. But I am mourning - something died this weekend... and before I can move on I must grieve it.

Every body has its own opinion and freedom of thinking and freedom of speech but there are some limits always:
If any thing is beyond the limit, it becomes wrong and hurt some body:
Here we should keep in mind that this is free thread. No body is paying any thing or getting any money.
Now the people who are helping here and teaching the loosers traders like me or converting sucessful traders to more and more successful and skilled traders are deserved for great respect.
They are great symbol of diginity who are serving the cumminity without any reward from us.
They are many ... list is long ...
I don't know what we can do for them, how can we return some thing... I think only we can do ....
respect them, appreciate them and remember them in our prayers to be successful in every aspect of life...
And one more thing we can do and we must do...
The people who dis-respect them or de-grade them, should be stopped by us by raising our voices together agains those evils.
Any body who does not like one's style or method he/she can move to next one, no body is forced to stay here or invited....
Every body here is by his own...
We are here like family... so please Mr.EVIL don't try to make separation in a loving and caring family...
So please fxachilies don't leave us ... come back ... there are many many who are waiting for you here ...
I have best regards and best wishes for feb2865 and fxachilies ...

Fully with you on this. I've only been with the thread for a few weeks but was immediately impressed with how informative it was (mainly thanks to Feb and FX but also all other contributors) and also the excellent camaraderie. Having only recently celebrated 10000 posts it would be a great shame if that proved to be its' nadir.

For those who have it within their power, I hope you keep this thread alive and vibrant with the advice, support, knuckle-rapping, back-slapping, humour and team spirit that's made it a 'must-have' for many traders.

Feb,

Are you talking about EURUSD.
+74 pips today.
And i missed 100 pips drop down under.

well you got it - that was before he start talking LOL!!! On the rest of the day was flat....
