It is a bit of a shame that line trader has been pushed away from posting his journal. His long term intentions are unclear but as far as I can see he did give enough of his method away for someone to follow his trades if that's what they wanted. As the poster above mentions, we are all adults and if the guy had started PMing people asking for money for trade calls then he would have been reported and kicked out on his ass.

From the other side though it would have been easy enough for him to just add people who were just out to make trouble to his ignore list and stop them posting on the thread and also to stop reading PMs.

I don't know the answer but it does feel like a minority of people have denied the rest access to the insight of another trader. Whether he was actually trading live or not and making the gains he posted or not, who knows, but someone was getting something out of what he was posting and for them to be now denied that because the poster has been pushed away is too bad.

oh Jesus now you will have to find a way to trade using your own brain instead of copying anybody that puts a system up boo hoo

I know you're probably enjoying yourself picking arguments with people but I find anything you have posted so far to be unecessary and unhelpful. It is for that reason that I am adding you to MY ignore list.

I suggest if you want to get anything out of your experience as a member of forex factory that you learn to fit in a bit better and start contributing more usefully.

Why would he punish the many followers just because of a couple of negative posters.like you said he could ignore us but no he says goodbye...generally innocent people don't do a runner...


If he comes back ill gladly stop posting on the matter

I guess you won't see this then but anyways ,I come on forums for entertainment value ..it's like watching tv I enjoy watching it ...what I don't do is if I want to be a doctor I don't watch it from actor that really don't know what there doing...


That's why most of anything posted on forums is unverifiable so see it as entertainment

Markmc27,

Of your 33 posts that you have contributed to FF... Not one of them is being supportive.

In fact, every one of them is aimed at slating the thread starter.

As your comment above says.... You like watching TV. Well, why don't you p*** off back under your rock and watch it then and leave people who wish to positively contribute to threads like this alone.....

For a start ive never pm`d him about anything,i said it here for all to see

Ill let you know why i said what i thought

First I dont think he really traded this ,his maths ,there is 2 days were he added up his % win or loss that were wrong (11th and 18th ). Ok people make mistakes but when he gives his monthly and weekly stats he still has the wrong numbers.
If i was putting up my results for the week I would take them from my account ye, but he didnt he took them from what he wrote on earlier occasions .why would you go looking over old posts...

How can you say that his results were incorrect????

At the end of the day LT posted his line levels BEFORE the trading day had started.... So even now anyone can go back over the charts and check whether or not his results were true.

Some people are just so thick.

Anyway, LT I wish you all the best for the future and would like to think that one day you might return to carry on with this thread and to put on your ignore list the likes of members like Markmc27 so they cannot ruin it.

Markmc27 (I'm guessing that the 27 is your IQ level) please feel free to start a thread of how you trade. I'd be really interested in following it. I'm guessing that you wouldn't do this because I reckon you don't have a clue what you are actually doing.

This is the typical type of fool that comments ,go and look at the 11th and 18th results he posted ie +1,-1 and so on .Now add them up (you will prob need a calculator)They are added up wrong so like i said mistakes can happen but when the weekly resluts are given he still has the wrong numbers .

So you comment twice about me and then send a pm sweet jesus.
No i Havent a clue how to trade your so right ,thats why i come here and try and copy every fu*kin system there is

And he wont return because he wasnt legit

Ok look , what i mean by wrong is this look he said he got +4.15 but it should be +4.65.Yes he could have just added it up wrong but when he put weekly figures up he still had +4.15 .

So what i am saying is if I was doing it I would get my numbers from my account ,not look back over older posts

and yes i can show how you get the lines

[font="Comic Sans MS"][size="3"][color="Blue"]Ok, todays results are as follows:-

DOW No trades
FTSE +1 B/E
S&P No trades

E/U +1 +1
G/U +1 -1 +1
A/U +0.3
U/CAD +1
U/CHF +1 +1
E/J +1 +1

As posted earlier, I was trading at 0.5% risk today because the lines were bunched close together due to yesterdays market inactivity.

I also stopped trading today at 12:00 due to the good results from this morning.

Hence, todays result was +4.15%. ..

There

EUR/USD : 1.3309 1.3266 1.3180 1.3137
USD/CAD : 1.0046 1.0031 1.0001 0.9986
AUD/USD : 1.0690 1.0669 1.0627 1.0606
USD/CHF : 9180 9148 9086 9054

or you want me to show you ...EUR/USD for example .Yesterday(Fridays) High - Low( 1.3234 - 1.3077) = 157 .Multiply that by 1.1 = 172.70 and then divide by 2 = 86.35 so round it to 86....

So for line A get Yesterdays Close (1.3223 ) and add 86 to it ,for D minus 86 from the close and for B and C its half of 86 which is 43 and add and minus that to the close for them

Yes peoples lines will be bit different because of different brokers prices but it wont be that much

We can all see our dreams come true this year. Never give up and always believe in your ability and we will see our dreams become our realities this year.
If you have been trading for 7 years with no success then I say that your problem is discipline. I bet you see some trade that just cannot lose and risk 50% of your account and then when it comes close to your sl, you move it and you blow the whole account. Learn to be discipline and you will be fine. Don't learn discipline and you will probably retire poor. Read Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas.

Oh one other thing. Think of trading as your job. What is a job? A job is something you do most days in order to make money. That is to say that you need money to live your life but your life is not making money. Try to live your life and think of trading as a necessary means. If you can't do this then you will also probably fail.

Remember the three pillars to trading. It's my own name but I think 99% of all traders will agree with this.

1.)Attitude. Losses and wins mean nothing since trading is just a probability game.
2.)Money Management.
3.)Have an edge. An edge is just something that allows you to win over time. For example you have a strategy that wins 10% of the time but it has a 20:1 risk reward. Or you have a strategy that wins 85% of the time but you have a negative rr of 1:2.

Master the 3 pillars and in 5 years or less you should be sitting pretty even if your account only has $10 in it.

Thank you for the advice. That is very kind of you. Everything you have stated is so true and I've already began to work on those things. The only thing I did not do was the 50% stop loss part.

I just system hopped but I have found something that is working for me so I'm sticking with it. This week I've made 15% profit to my account.

So once again, thanks for the help and advice. You are dead on with everything you said and I've accepted that and my trading is beginning to improve.
