I've met real players. I've never met a real big player. To be honest, I'm not likely to go out of my way to meet the real movers and shakers of this world.
I prefer honest people that say what they mean and mean what they say. I guess I'll never be a mover and shaker. Poor poor mefunny how it doesn't bother me.
i thought that was the point... they wouldn't be on this forum?
i was agreeing.
i'm not looking for a pissing contest with you or anyone else... if i wanted to escalate i'd just ask for trading results.

Yes. Sorry I didn't respond. I was involved with family Holiday planning (my wife had me running all over hell and back) at the time.
No disrespect intended, I was just a little distracted.

not all movers and shakers are bad.

And no I don't do pissing contests, sorry if you misconstrued my comments as a personal attack.
And no I don't do the measuring (account size) contest either. A debate on the battle field of ideas should never come down to personal attacks or "mines bigger than your" crap.
I'm just here for fun. Good luck with your trades 
unless there counter to mine.

As far as the ‘gap’ talk is concerned, could you please explain why do you think that gaps in the markets do not exist and why do they get mentioned in textbooks, tutorials and various discussions on the net. I’m not trying to create an argument here, just asking you a (hopefully) sensible question before Cloggie starts taking the piss out of it again. Perhaps this could throw some light on the subject and the retailers won’t try to fill any future ‘gaps’. Thanks.
I will be nice. Gaps don't exist. Most brokers that the retailers use do not show the Wellington open on Sunday evening, something the Wellies use to their advantage in hunting the stops of the said retailers, but that is another discussion point.
I have seperate commercial pricefeeds that do not show a gap on weekends, as a matter of fact they continuously show prices during the weekend, (EU now at 32467). You cannot use the argument of textbooks, tutorials or forums on the net as they are all tailored to the uninformed retailer.
If you go back over my posts of the last 3 weekends I gave a price by price market move while the retailers here had no price feed that clearly showed that no gap exists. (still we had a few here even against unequivocal facts still maintaining the gap myth).
Tutorials, forums and trading groups you find here and elsewhere are useless for trading as they only teach/show you what retailers do and think, not something I would want to use as basis for my trading decisions.
If all these tuturials were so great, would 90% of the retailer need to fail in this? A few clicks on Google would educate the masses and all the noobs would be profitable.
The last thing you want to do is follow other retailers and tutorials, the statistics are tremendously stacked against you and by doing so your change of success is less then 10%.

how can currency rates have a gap?
imagine walking up to a teller at a bank and telling her... i see you rate on the euro/dollar right now but on my charts there's a gap so i want to give you $100 dollars and I want you to give me a 100 euros. she will either laugh or call security.
your broker has "gaps" because of their hours of operation.
if you see a gap on a true 24/7 feed... it ain't a gap... simply a lull in activity.

i got $100 bucks says we see a gap post between now and the euro open?

Just do what most do here, close your eyes, shut your ears, ignore the market for a few hours and imagine there is a gap. Others get a proper price feed and try to stay away from the muppets and their myths.
10k says there is none. Easiest money I ever made.
