Yes, i consider this basic stuff my friend but this is exactly what this whole show is all about. Making it mystical. But at least you are trying and i appreciate that. And everyone went thru the same learning process. But then again no, i still havent received any explanation how he helped traders become better traders, no details. But how can one post details if one has no clue why himself? No personal critique here, just a common observation.



Quoting Delite
In my very early days, I learned some invaluable lessons from Cloggie. Yes, I probably would have learned them at some point, but he short-circuited the process. For example, I learned about the Frankie fake and the structure of the trading day in general, which has kept me out of all sorts of trouble. I also learned to look at levels and how price reacts to those levels, rather than jumping on every 5minute breakout bar.

I think you will respond that this is basic stuff, and you would be right, but its only basic when you know it.

If you want...

Hello guys,
After year and a half of putting all my mental strength and all my efforts to learn this business I regret to say that I must back off, close my account and never look at it again.
I know that you actually don't give a damn about me, but I will tell my story anyway.
I was introduced to forex by my colleague at work. I opened a demo of 3000 and blew half of it very soon. Then I recovered everything and doubled it in a month and a half. I tought WOW!!! I was hooked before I knew what was happening. Then I rushed and opened live micro...
I am not ready to say my confession yet...lol. But I like reading your post because I can sympathize with...what you been through. If you are leaving forex for good...I can understand that at least you tried your best...sometimes we have to understand that maybe forex is really not for us...good luck on your next endeavor...and take care always...!!!

First of all, with utmost diligence and humility, I sincerely apologize to everyone if my action was deemed unfair.

But for an appeal, I must confess I really fell off my t-desk laughing on the ground. Everything he wrote just reminded me of my early days of trading. Though I never blew an account, I always withdrew my balance to get back at the markets and my broker. Now don't laugh at me.... Really donme, show me a loss and I will show you a trader. Even UBS suffered trading loss(es). I really don't advice people to go back to demo but I can only say you shouldn't quit. On the other hand, if you really think trading is not your thing, I support you. Whatever profession a man chooses in life, he should find fun in doing it. Only then, will he be successful.

mla, 21vs7, delite, I'm really sorry guys. Wasn't laughing at him, I was just seeing a mirror of my old self. Once again, apologies...

Have you played around with the built-in trail step mate?

I know it can be fiddly at times, I find it better to set it to 700 points so the steps inch down/up in your favor at the right levels.
well, iam going out in 5mins. i have set my stop at 13415. if i lose then its only - 6 pips.


i can never get a hang of the trailing stop feature that my broker offers (ig index). they cant explain themselves on how to use it......i have tried.

Mostly everybody goes through this in trading, I have been there numerous times. Is a difficult one, because we have to deal with the hidden part of ourself. There is not set up or system that can solve the problem in my view. That is only marketing. Also you cannot borrow from others their way of trading, because we need to input part of ourself to be able make it.

The market is a living thing, we need to adapt to it, in all his mutation.
We need to learn how to be nimble, humble, flexible, learn about ourself so we can adapt, we need risk less than what we make, we learn by experience and we have healthy exchanges with other to get at the bottom of it.
And most importantly we help others being tolerant and that makes as learn more and not to forget that we need to continue learning until the end.

Down again we have 1,3366 also interesting for the bulls there is 1,3383.
Even lower I have 1,3333 and 1,20!

As of now...I see a bit of yields rising now on Italy and Spain.

DAX also fighting 6.000 as we speak and looks pretty defeated already.

Still, this baby can easily go either way for 200 pips in a one move 15 minute candle here. Ill play this position long here. 1,3483 as said play in my book a nice level to buy this pair. Relatively tight SL under next resistance there.

Decision time in 45m. Not a really big and strong mover IMO.

Plenty here were having loads of fun with him, not sure who he p!ssed of enough to get a ban out of it.

Cloggie bashing has been going on here for years, all of them that tried have disappeared since. The good thing was that him stalking me kept him from blowing another account up at least.
Yes mate, but sometimes we need to draw the line and have that sensibility not to push to much because it can hurt specially when is done in pack.
There is not point to reach those levels of misunderstanding , is not wise.
The ugly joke is good when it does not last long.
