Greg - sorry to hear about your platform. yes templates are very handy. no worries I am not completely sold on ending it yet. I discourage easily. I sit here at my desk, family is asleep and I literally have no one to engage conversation, well except my dog, and she just isn't very in tune to forex trading yet!
If there is conversation to be had, or positive dialogue I'll be around for years to come! It's that my mentality is if I put time into posting a chart, marking it up and it seems to bear no fruit, it feels wasted, you know? Like the bite isn't worth the chew? Why do it if the response to it is dead silence? I get enough of that now as it is - well with the exception of key's "tacking' away from my keyboard
I'm not here to challenge anyone, or flaunt knowledge, just send a message that Forex trading is what you make it. You want to fail? Keep searching for turn key. You want to succeed? Then THINK for yourself, find the setups on your own, create your own trading rules and stick to them.
using someone's "turn-key" system is the same as punching a clock IMO. Bill Williams books are what gave me this mentality. his indicators are powerful - all one needs to do is apply themself and read the book!

DislikedHi 9er,Not long home from work to find all my charts had disappeared off both my trading platforms. The internet was off so I can only imagine that had something to do with it.Spent an hour reloading all my charts. Thank heaven for templates.Sorry to hear your becoming a bit bearish with regards the forum, but I am sure there are plenty of traders out there like me who sit back and take in and digest the information you present to us. It would be sad to see it end.As you know I trade my own method, but that has not stopped me from trying to increase...Ignored
