haha i like the train is coming tune...

mind if i ask how well you're doing with FTI's style of trading? I need some reassurance, so that I know i can continue in this direction...
U just have to look in the mirror for the assurance u seek...

i think at the start, i just tried to feel the market pulse by looking at topping and bottoming formation, looking at impulse and corrective wave and just by looking at M5 candles. Hardly paid attention to individual candles because I thought collective candles comprise "market form and structure" and basic chart patterns like double bottom, double top and h&s suffice.

I had relatively good progress at the start, collecting 30-40 pips, and maybe 50-60 pips if im lucky. However, I felt so contrived because 30-40 per trade does not make the constant...

Am I expecting too much? I pulled off 100% a month before, but that was probably a fluke... so how's your average performance a month? And do you dance well with the market?

just trying to say that discretionary trading will never be obsolete. why? in my humble opinion, the reason why quants and HFT works is because of greed and fear in the market (broadly speaking), and these emotions can only be derived from human beings and more specifically, discretionary traders. I may be over simplifying things abit, but I wonder how can quants and HFT work in a perfectly efficient market where everything is precise to the very second.

Anyone with more experience, do give some insight? Thanks

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishing.

For those of you, who are worried.
Let me tell you whats happening.

My wife has gone insane, after her brother jumped from his 15 storey home.
She had filed writ for divorce siteing unacceptable behaviour.
She had for when this began left the family and where abouts unknown and i had been contacted only by her lawyers.
K had not been a person who handles stress well and i think she has lost it. But of course there is much of my moneys riding on this, so financials could be reason as well. I am still unclear, and will try determine the cause and reasons.

I have 2 teenage sons, One attempted suicide during the course of this episode. His eyes rolls up and he tried jump from school building. Thanks to the efforts of many govt agencies and his brave and selfless principal, Caroline, he was retrieved. I believe he also had lost it. I am spending my energies trying to recover him.

Now that i have put this in the open, I hope that there is no more speculation and worries about me. Needless to say i do not have energies in the markets and am in no mindset to battle on both fronts. So I hope to be excused from carrying the thread. I had given about most of what i can for the subject on this thread and many experienced traders will understand. And i hope that those who can will carry this for the benefit for others and do their utmost for many while i battle against the evil forces thats testing me. I pray everyday for God's guidance in the days forward and will continue to be the best I can be, everyday.

To all, i hope you find your niche in the markets and financial independence.

Good Fortune.

regards

Howver , I will when I find the energies, come back to walk around this thread if suits. Remeber that apart from your ambitions if life, there's also your love ones, cherish them everyday. So much crazyness can happen, thats beyond believe.

Dearest all,

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I feel your love. But please do not burden yourself on my account.

As Christ had said, My faith in God, will always be tested.
Satan will not win in his quest.
There is no need to fight him.
As i will not be participant of his craziness.
I will rest my life in God's hands.
And i will stand like an unmovable mountain, hanging on to the love of God.

For budding traders, no one will help you, neither can they.
YOU, have to find your strength and your self educating to weather your journey. I pray that you will find that strength. If not in yourself then in God.
Nothing worst than death can happen. So with life, you MUST stand tall and find your niche. All crazyness means NOTHING.

For me, i am tested like Lot was in his testimony. edit: Sorry was Job, thanks nathaniel, for correction. All names ending el are angels of the lord, thank you.
Only that, all his was taken.
What the lord had given me is the means to survive the test.
By his WILL,I will stand. No matter the outcome.
I pray that his grace will be there for all.
I may be trembling with fear.
But I fear not the lions of Life.
As the Lord gives , so can he take by his WILL.
As one door closes in Life, God opens others.
I fear not closing Doors.

God Bless.

regards

Dear FTI,

My prayers are with you also (i'm catholic just like you). Remember how Job went through adversities but continued to keep faith in God.

May God bless and keep you and your family.

Dear fti,

I have never seen truer value than what I find in your TAF teaching in all my 10 years of diligence on trading (online and books). While your personal life is trying at the moment you have certainly helped many, may good deeds be rewarded by good karma.

My profound gratitude and best wishes,
