Hi ALL and friends,

i am still around, although very weak.
Decided against them going in at last minutes because second opinions came back that it doesn't help.
This is because that there is no surity that the bleeding will be contained and new clots resurfacing.
Moreover if not careful going in can create more bleeding. Seems part of the heart is not funtional and clots are bound to reoccur due to friction from the funtional.
So i decided to leave matters with God instead, he knows better.
And i also decided to minimise medicines to reduce...

Dear fti,

Thank you for all the assistance and training material you have provided me during this past 3 years of my learning process. I appreciate all the information, expertise and good advice you have been unselfishly given to the world as well the entertainment you have been shared to us. Your humility, kindness and boundless love have been so invaluable to me during this process.

Thank you so much for your generosity.

respecfully yours,
eddy

p.s. because of you, i believe i am now able to reach one of my goal in life i.e. to live life to its fullest - financially free! You helped me see and put things in perspective... and for that i am ever so grateful.

ditto

Dear fti,

glad to see you are around.
So my worst expectations are luckily not true .

All I can do, to support what you have started here, I willl do.
I think it is the best way to say "thank you", my dear teacher!

One important lesson, that I have on my agenda now is humility:
Humilty in life and in trading. So as you surely know, the lessons you gave about the "YOU" here in your thread, have been the most valuable for me. Discovering myself lead me to make progress as a trader ....

I wish you all the best!
Enjoy your new life!

In deep respect and thankfulness,
Niels

Dear Fti, there are no words how to say thank you more. You influenced many people in very positive direction. Your life-approach and life-way. You are an example of the true strong man. Be strong and take care about yourself - slowly and comfortably!!! please.

If i can have a question please... My brother is preparing for wedding and living in our family house with my parrents and his new wife. But he is still building, changing, modifying the house. And my old mother is getting crazy from it... But i dont know how to help her. She is unhappy from that mess and he is like Arnold Schwarzeneger, he is fair play man, but it seems he doesnt see how she is nervous from the changes... I dont know what to tell him or how to help my mother... Regards

thanks in advance
There are too many ingredients in it. First read the first 200pages of this thread.
When you can use snowballs, it depends on conditions what you send to the field and why. Example : scout is 500unit, it goes against you, you deploy rescue 500 and observing it... the trend continues...break.... so you flip(switch to the new trend) and you go 3000units that new trend. You close it very early, only small pips, but the profit is bigger than the loss from 2X500. ... (in pips you are in minus because of 2X500, but money are in +)

Hi friends,

maybe it is easier to give you a copy of that Steenbarger book, but here is a snippet again:

[...]

In our dance with markets, we want the market to lead.
When we attempt to lead the market—when we try to anticipate what may happen instead of identify what is happening—we’re most likely to be out of step with the next price movements. When we are pressing, we are trying to lead the markets, and that has the potential to turn normal losses and flat periods into veritable slumps.
[...]


All the best,

Niels

Fti,

Glad you decided not to go through with a procedure that could have made your condition a more critical one. Your heart for others shines through even given your current circumstances. So admirable.

I have yet to make a substantial dent in all of the material and information you have shared, but I want to thank you in advance for the benefit I will gain from it (as so many other traders here already have). You didn't have to share what you did, but you did and I am grateful. Thank you.

My prayers are with you during this time.

Take good care,

You have certainly mastered the journey as the qualities you mentioned are key ingredients. Would like to add one more if I may...courage (fortitude).

Lots I could learn from the other masters here as well .

Glad to hear from you again

Know it has been say & reharsh many times in TAF by others.... Sincerely thank you for all your teachings, advices throughout the pages of TAF.

Let to share the verse the following verses 129 from Visuddhimagga sutta:

One strong in faith but weak in wisdom has uncritical and groundless confidence. One strong in wisdom but weak in faith errs on the side of cunning and is as hard as one whose sickness is caused by a medicine. When the two are balanced, one has confidence only where there are grounds for it.

Hi,

no, of course not.
I do not have anything to give away to my broker.

Most MT4 brokers, who offer that way of closing positions, are paying back the spread payed for the hedge (at least the brokerages, that are playing fair like MiG, VG, Alpari and many others ...).

[...]

When we perceive that meaningful goals are within our reach, we naturally experience a surge of optimism and energy. This surge helps us make those extra efforts to achieve our goals. Conversely, when we see that valued goals are beyond our reach, nature has provided us with the means to suppress that motivation.
[...]

In that sense, the feeling of wanting to give up contains useful information. It is not just a negative emotion to be overcome or minimized.

Discouragement tells us that, at that moment, we perceive an unbridgeable gap between our real selves (who we are) and our ideal selves (who wewish to be). We no longer perceive that we have control over our future: our ability to attain goals that are important to us.

Yeah, you are right: Once again a snippet from Mr. Steenbarger

Hi FTI,

Get a good juicer (preferably a low speed juicer such as the Angel 5500 juicer) and start juicing organic vegetables such as carrots, apples and wheatgrass.

Stay off all oils, white sugar, salt, meat, dairy and eggs. Only go for fruits and veggies.

My personal view only and best regards,
Steven.

Hi All,
Thank you textor for the video.
here my 2 cts.

What is reported in the ted video is truly happening in the OTC market places.
With advancement in technologies and ability of computer alsos to trade in nano seconds ( which no humans can) and the old maxim of protecting books with stops. what i am hearing from many sources is that there are some people taking advantage of the privilage of seeing stops then scratch trades( buying and selling at same prices) beyond the mass and away from short historical volatility benchmarks to sweep the sitting ducks. This scratching trade activity and price infractions is illegal in all regulated exchanges. But because of non regulatory OTC markets structure, it allows price infractions. ie trading thru and away from actual bid and offers in markets. Unless regulators and Central banks do close audit of time and sales no one will be wiser on this illegal activities in OTC markets.( and seems white collar crminal computer algo may be the culprits) When trades are scartched no actual trading occurs except for wild volatility. This is because the trades between the parties are reversed via the stops fillings and balanced exposure can be counter party neutralised.). But If audits can access the books of the participanting brokers, then the culprits can be brought to light and dealth with as the scratch to first trades will show name over time and sales logs. What is done cannot escape the audits if broker books are being veted closely because the purportraters names will surface. This the disservice done on markets to distort the real eqilibrium and taking out weak holders, who place stops to protect from over losses. esp imposed by broking firms contract of accounts. At extreme SD of market gyrations, this stops feeding becomes very profitable exercise for brokers who act in conflict of interest on functioning as brokers as well as market making.

Unfortunately, also hearing that some people in position also condone these illegal practises to take out speculators. Seems has become one of the arsenals they use. The new machinery to torture speculators, if you like.
So in all prudence, now traders must allow more lee way for wild gyrations and overleveraged books will be first casulaties. This one critical reasons why regulators had imposed limitation to the gearing allowed. They seems from traders books figure determined that 1:50 is best practises. But i woulds suspect for prudence even less gearing except for the most well financed traders.

This activity of scratcing trades can be nipped at the bud by regulatory intervention of bringing the guilty to justice, because it is infact illegal in all practises and ethital standards of dealing conduct. But the cross borders nature of the OTC forex markets makes mind boggling minefields for market regulators. Traders can do their part to to raise awareness by complaints of exceptional events to regulators or the Laws to highlight the thieves in the market place. Also on your part be careful of over gearing and excessive exposure of your books. You must determine what volatility parameters are safe. From my earlier experimentations, suggest expectation in excess of 20% historical volitilityand 5 % short historical volitility should suface, but that is just a guestimate.

While learning trading, you must always vier to safety first than ROI. Greed with excessive risk also can kill. There are thieves in market place and they stricke when pleople gets complacent of risk.
