Hi dongsky, just found your thread loved or should i say love it, I too have lost alot and find this method interesting. I went to fti's thread to start where you started and found it is 1300 pages!! was wondering where to start but read further in your thread and found your suggestion. But you also mentioned a summerised version? is that still available?
Thank you for sharing i'm about 20pgs in and will continue and hope to dance soon.

Hi KJ

Welcome to Eddy's fan club.

Eddy is out sailing the 7 seas with his lovely wife

U want the summarised version it's not difficult just use the search function at the top right to look for it...

But to save u the trouble...

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost.php?p=4218436

However the strong recommendation is to read the 1st 200 pages of TAF and use the summary as a constant reminder of the basics.

Have a good weekend

This is a great thread. It's real and lays a trader's journey all out there for everybody to read.

I think FTI's method of trading is really legit and is a goldmine to those who invest time in training. I'm soaking it up slowly and this thread has been a big inspiration.

The rescue is the only part I have a hesitation towards. Best traders add to winners and cut losers short. I guess it's just finding one's own balance of when mistiming occurs and when one is willfully surfing into a tidal wave.

spot on! the rescue is just a part of skills of survival in battle fronts, where one(a general) must skillfully (tactically) rescues a troubled scouts or soldiers... in a swift manner, quick and extemporaneous...

we'll if you're not so comfortable in rescues... why not focus your time in your attack... be familiar with your own MO & MM... more and more screen time will really help your timing in the market...

small wins will build your confidence and comfort... build your confidence stronger by bringing small wins often... work like the ants...

once familiar with attacks and comfortable with it... force yourself in learning rescue... for that's part of the survival... in this business...

I stumbled into your journey and fti' thread about same time and this turned out to be the best thing ever happened in my trading career..
I am truely thankful for showing me such a light and a direction..

I have read about 50pgs on fti's thread and slowly observin.. still having hard times to catch some hidden insights(?).. but i can see the concept.

So far i came down to 4 main subjects..

1. Building ability to read candle's formations and patterns.

2. Focus on 4kingdoms and their co-working.

3. Understand MM(WW table)
MO(attack sequence, rescue)
Relations of MM n MO

4. Always be aware of fundamental impacts


Am i on the right track? anything else to add?
Much appreciated~

you have pretty much of it... i mean the basics...

well, to survive in this business, you need to have the correct mindset - running battle mindset...

to be able to have confidence with your MO & MM, you need to always participate with the market, when opportunity prevails... more more screen time and demo trading will shape your mind into the battle field...

when you feel it's right, then just dance... send a scout and feel the market... watch PA and pulse her... once you're ridding the right trend... then just attack your enemy... when she's slowing down and loosing momentum... bring your soldiers back home...

when soldiers in trouble... rescue if need be... remember, not all terrain are rescueable...

know when to attack or deploy scout... know when to exit...

...dance with one lady.... be familiar with her...

regards

btw... you can inter-actively post your trades here and let people see your dance...

520pips!! amazing. Have this chart in the background while i'm reading ftis thread, i'm guessing it's the snowballing that got you up to 520?

Still alot of reading and rereading to do just on page 34 then will start on your thread. Thanks, it was your thread i found that lead me to start fti.

Hi Friends,

that was a very bad trading the past two days.

Because of nearly no time today, I tried to reach my VG challenge target at friday already, but was not able to. Today I had only a chance to reach my goal with predicting the market early in the morning to set a TakeProfit. Finally missed my traget by 9 pips ...

Now my account is down 55%.
So I only can wish all of you guys trading the challenge:
Stay nimble and fit your targets perfectly.

I'm out of the game mow.
How sad ...


Eddy, I vacated rank 15 for you.
Come on - jump in :-)

CU,
Niels

Hey Eddy,

you are in!
Congratulations!

Not sure what has happened to Philip and Dika.
Can't believe that they have had an "accident" too ...

However - keep on going Eddy!

Let i say Eddy is the MEGA-MAN!!!

@ Niels - Accidents happens... U r not alone... I'm being trample by this Eur Bull

One of the most important lesson i take away from trading today is that RIGIDITY KILLS!!!

To keep up with Varengold risk-adjusted return it has restrict my dance steps and this has affected my trading greatly...

Keep the Fti flag flying high Eddy


Pip Well

I think Eddy has done the right thing by not worrying about the contest parameters and instead dancing the way he has learned to dance. I think imposing artificial limits and rules on one's trading can only have detrimental effects. Especially if those rules and limits weren't formulated through the journey to becoming profitable.

It's like changing the way you walk naturally. Everyone has their own walk and if that walk is working then more likely than not changing it will be to one's own detriment.

No disrespect to anyone Just an opinion. And definitely no disrespect to you Mamood your blotters are pretty legendary in return terms!
