Quoting Fudomyo
In a cult of personality, two of the most useful tools are the pull away and persecution.

The pull away is when the a leader tests his flock by threatening to leave (but always returns).
Persecution reenforces the group against outside threats.

Words are a reflection of a man's honor.

If a man goes back on his word, it brings his honor into question. So if someone says they are leaving then they should honor their word.

In trading, one of the easiest ways to gauge whether a trader is successful is by measuring their personality and...
Thank you, much
you are very kind.
i am glad you survived the ordeal.
You have LV thrombos as well?

Oh if you not know, its already been given, you just not found it yet.
Read about a couple of thousand pages, i am sure you will find it.

No, i not geek, so won't be able do computer stuff.
What you said is true.
The techs told me my data is intact. Only SMART lock away drive access because read errors exceeding drive ability to remap.
due to virus attacked seek capabilities.
But will require data recovery reaccess it to write to new diskdrives.
I decided i not want buy any more disk drives. Data Archiving technology is not real yet.
I think i will just enjoy them on my CD collection. although is easier manage them on harddisk.
I not want pay thousands reaccess CDs that I have. Any way my CDs is better they Japanese press, so is top of the line.
I believe you know what i saying. Audiophile stuff.
i can surely buy much much more CDs with the thousands.
My CDs supposed to last abiut 100 years, and i think will outlive me.

Thanks for the advice, I already understand.

regards

Oh regarding the posting.
I already decided i will help no one any more on thread.
If google+ is workable, i will guide some friends trading there polish what they have learned by themselves here. if i still alive.
If i find some real deserving peeps need help i will guide them out to learn how get the feel and MO correct.
Here is for people bashing now, so that they not read begining of this thread where i gave the stuff.
Also because with wrong mindset, the only thing the peeps get is themselves killed.
Peeps who can make it work already quietly reading and analysing.
This is no holi grill thread, is a self help thread.
Only works for peeps who thinks with their brains, not with mouth.
I still socialising here just in case some things not clear.
so i try reexplain, thats all.
But sorry no more.

I lost all money on my fx trading account, but I made much more profit in stocks, which my father bought based on my advice. Yeah I have passion for trance and progressive music, but it's very hard to suceed :S It's business like all others, even if u r next mozart, that is not enough if you don't have fans. But I am doing it just for passion, as I would need to invest lots of money in equipment, to later make some

cigar is not too good for you health. How about Chinese wu long tea
A friend gave me a nice box of cigars for Christmas. Delicious. (Unfortunately, cancer of lip, tongue, throat, lung is anything but delicious... So all things in moderation.)

from trolling I turned to reading this thread

Read around first 10 pages or so.. Should I read more, or is variation on the same theme ?

I kind of got similar conclusions in my close to 2 decades of markets from retail side. however, one can see you have not been subjected to scams praying on retailers. Like freezing platforms when one entering or exiting, therefore i use stops although thinking of options to replace/diversify. Imagine platform freezing during flashcrash.

Like your story about scorpions which understanding is instrumental for extracting profits.

thanks simple.
Was very informative video.
Opens up lots questions about knowledge.
Especially our limited knowledge of things.

So seems there's lots evidence that we not monkeys.
And if we stop behaving like one, maybe world will become better.

i see.
If you working well, in the equity markets then stick with that.
A market's a market.
It doesn't matter what the underlying instrument.
If you can tame it, thats should be where your destiny is.
The basics are the same, be it you trading FX derivatives, equity or pot and pans.

the cigar thingy was just a way congratulate N for confirming getting a son.

You right, smoking is unhealth for living.

If you not hooked in it, don't start.
Once you start, you will have a lifelong problem getting rid of it.
If you hooked in it, try find alternative vices, like jogging.
Staying in hospital is 1 way slide out of the "cold turkey" phase, slide out of it.
stay for 1 month and its easy stay off it.

seems you very persistence chap.
And not take talk too seriously.
Thats a good character for trading.

Even when you profitable, there's no harm learning stuff that enhances.
No one can know everything that optimises, comes with more and more experiences.



I hear what you trying say. I had experienced it much. Requotes and hung platforms is much experienced in MT4 platforms, I don't know reasons why, but thats my experiences of them so far.
Having said this, I still like think this may be viable one day, when industry matures and the rogue broking is removed from the business.
The advantage of running prices is not a feature one can find trading thru the banks. When trading with banks, you need call, wait for them pick you up, and you have to ask for prices. If they show prices and you "thanks nothing there"(not deal), they like treat you as a pest when you ask prices again.
Moreover they don't do retail ticket size, and there's no leverage(which is a good thing).

If you had been profitable trader. I believe you will see what had been presented on thread may be useful guide for pondering.
Like you say you like to learn, but if you not read before you make judgement, then how do you learn?

when you profitable, try learn be humble. I know is hard when on cloud 7, but try.
Markets have teeth.

PS: if you read stuff on this thread, will be happy if there's stuff you like challange, since you are experienced trader.
But don't attack the peeps. ideas, concepts, please feel free to challange.
no need to fish me, i had given what i can already.
but since you new here and say you profitable, maybe we fish you instead?

You said you have cock too.ok, show me some feathers.

Really wanted try the bigger names out.

FTI, I'm curious why you haven't tried out Interactive Brokers? Is it not available in your area? They have a Hong Kong office. IB offers DMA for most world markets and a fair market for FX (multi-bank ECN with good spreads). It is used to handling larger institutional accounts and may be more the type of structure you're used to dealing with rather than retail market makers. IB's TWS java front end takes some getting used to though.

Hi,

basically,

1. i am experimenting the retail arena, on what's available for retail traders. First from Home base, which is sg, where i have reach on them, if arbitration issues arise. I not want deal with sales peeps on arbitration matters.

2. i am used to interbank direct system, and know thru commission brokers. commission is a big consideration due to the activities. Carry cost also is a factor.

3. Being retired common man, i have no access to back office operations, and therefore when brokers cannot package their products on 1 page MO, then is open for abuse and cumbersome to audit. Brokers who offer all sorts repackaging of products IMHO, only distracts traders mindset from trade activities, paving open back door traps.So i feel is best start experiment with brokers who tailors universal products for retail customers. When one is half hanging in air, neither institution ticket nor educationally small, then is best start exploration from ground upwards. Commissioned brokers is nothing new in the industry.They just carrying over activities crossovers from trying woo banks. One must be aware that for retail tickets, there is always some middle men between them and the markets, because the tickets are really not marketable in the financial arena. For me i still view dealing directly with banks is way to trade on size tickets.


There are many brokers in the international arena, unfortunately due to personal circumstances( my estate is already split into many pieces) i not gone as far as i had wished to venture in the quest.

thank you for your suggestion.
