Bannimg posters by thread starters is the best tool for the thieves here.
Hey Clogs...long time. Hope you're well, mate.

I agree with what you're saying to a point on that, but at some point, it has to be up to the person, the trader, the sheep, the muppet...whether they want to read a thread. If some twat is trying to burn people, people/traders will realize that...sheep/muppets may not, but hey...we need a liquidity pool, right?

As a thread starter, I'm happy to have some sort of method to keep some people out. It can only be done through the thread starter's "Ignore" list. I wish there was an actual way to just "Ban" them from the thread so you can still read the shite they spew forth elsewhere as a reminder without having to temporarily "un-ignore" them. Anyway...

More often than not, the people ignored are just basic tools...not people you would hang with in real life; face-palm inducing morons. Again...I'm glad there is some sort of method to keep them out, because I wouldn't want to have to run to Twee et al to look after it....but then again, I ain't selling shit....blogging shit...looking for donations...and my only pet is the model of health.

For the record, I believe I have three people on my ignore list...a fourth was there temporarily. All four would be on your (and most's) radar, and although everyone might not agree with my decision, I would say most would at least see it as understandable....particularly at the time.

Anyway...just my thoughts. Stay well, clogged-one.

cloggie,

I will put myself out here. I know you know how to make money and are an awesome trader. I know you said it took you years and years and I respect that. I just want to learn some of it or educate myself on how to trade a method such as yours.

I have educated myself with so many books and websites and well-known traders advice but nothing is consitent for me. I seem to trade the wrong direction most the time. I have blown up many accounts and trade on a mini-account until I can get it right.

When you give a number it helps me enter...

That is the point I have been making all day, FF is only interested in footfall, they don't care who is the real trader, who is the fraud or who is the noobie, they get paid based on the amount of people here.

A fraudster will keep a noobie here a lot longer as he is desperate to stay here and hopefully become profitable some day.

A trader who is making his money and has been in the business a long time has little or no reason to be here, especially after the reception he gets along het lines of the ones I keep getting here.

But then it becomes...
Cloggie,

If I may suggest. Recognize that their are many traders that you do help, but unfortunately you nor anyone else can help everyone, especially if they are looking for a quick and easy way. I know it is hard to not get frustrated by the many people who promote and advertise these strategies. I, myself, many years ago fell for a couple of these strategies. What I finaliy reaiized is if I had a strategy that was so successful, I would be trading the stratgy and making more money than I would every need and would not need to promote the strategy and get people to buy the plan. Like yourself, I cringe everytime I see one of these "scams".
Every time you get angry and fustrated by these scams just think about the ones you are helping.

I have read and re-read his posts and looked at charts posted. There is something I am missing to get the direction right and to understand how there is a certain level to watch. I can look at a day chart and see MAIN Support and Resistence but he can find a LEVEL within there and it is right on and I don't see how he does it.

I am still clueless on how 3185.7 was the level and PA turned around and went LONG after just crossing it. Why was 3185 impt on DAY TF?

There is something I am missing. I watch ES, DAX, GOLD, Bunds and still can;t get this right...I have not given up but with the money I have not made and lost one would wonder why.

Thanks though

I have similar chart bro, was cheeky long, but it pay off for you, proper support was did not touch but was close enough i suppose I have 200 sma on aswell it is snaking the rising tl,s, nice counter trade, almost faaded her
Thanks bro Ya support was not touched but it may stay here until the rising trend-line touches.Its best to make max of ur risk reward ratio if i jump in a short here my stop would be 1.3310 which for me is suicidal trade lol).

What i have learned through loss is always divide trade size like averaging and to take entries and exits off the channels (every-time there is a feeling that this is the time it will break but that time is 1 out of 5).

Yes, you are in the wrong place.

Can you then identify the types of setups and participants and form a plan then bearing odds in mind? Do you understand liquidity and the auction process? Do you have a mechanism for testing trade ideas?

There's other indicators of 1.3185 for example.....if you know or have knowledge of where the big money guys have placed their bids/asks. And with Level 2 data streaming from a institutional serving prime broker, it's not hard to see.....you can record these events.......if you follow the entire order book and keep a computerized log (granted it's a lot of data). You'll see indicators of where they are. That's why you will always hear rumors of bids and offers in certain areas.....It's because they know the big money is there.....and once their bids get tripped, the move is over and done in a few hours. (The amount of time it'll take their execution algos to get them into the market at the lowest average price possible at that time).

Part of the point I was making was about the obvious setups and judging the reactions to those levels... You don't need all that imo...

I can't identify Tops and Bottoms but I can see a HL, LL or LH or HH with DIV or Hidden DIV but it doesn't always pan out for if that is what you mean.

There are levels and I know it. I was trained by a good trader once here on how to use Fib extensions off a 15m and 1hr chart using an 80MA. But I was never consitent with entry and exit.

I could train someone in Forex and charge a fee to teach them all I know and they would be amazed and think they reallly have the Holy Grail and find out after blowing up accounts and losing that they were cheated. I could never do that to someone which is why I like the fact cloggie defends against it. But, he is good and has this down and there is a reason and I understand he can't just share it or feel pressured to. But, if I wanted to do a certain kind of special heart surgery, I would have to be trained by someone who knows how to do it and would be willing to share their knowledge. Otherwise I will never learn it correctly.
