I'm currently trying to get my hands on the book

"What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars – Jim Paul & Brendan Moynihan"

I read the reviews, and it looks to be a very good read. And I've come to the point in my trading career where i'm no longer looking for trading methods, but would like to further develop proper trading mindset; and this book fits the bill in helping me do that.

If anyone has a pdf copy and willing to share, please pm me!

I've heard it is a good one. 14 USD doesn't seem too bad for the kindle version.

The world is full of people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Blame the broker, they are crooks after all. BS.

Yup. I'm glad the ruling got appealed and overturned. But the guy still got away with his $5,000 -- The credit card company reversed the charge and he didn't end up losing a dime.

Towards the end of March when I started recovering, I had couple of followers on Currensee who joined and made money.

I was told that Currensee would send me a statement two weeks into the following month on how much i would get paid and so on. SO far I have not received anything.Also every month, the stats is reset so you only see how much you make per client on the current month. SO i have nothing to show.

Starting to feel a bit irked about how currensee is handling this shit. I want my damn money....

One of those trades where your read on the market is spot on. Makes you feel good to end the week with that.

So the "Insanity" commercial came on while I was trading. I was debating if I should purchase it because I've always wanted to try it out. I also thought about trying out P90X, another good looking workout program.

Went on the website, half way through the order page, amidst the offers that I refused, I decided to change my mind and just closed the order page thinking that my order didn't go through until you reach the Submit page that you usually see with ordering online

Well turns out, after putting in my credit card info and clicking next-that was actually submitting the order and every thing else after that was going to be added to the bill. Pretty sneaky. So Insanity is going to arrive in 3-5 days and o now i have to do the program. Which is not bad, since i did want to try it out in the first place anyway.

So in May/June it will be me going through the transformation. My goal is to be muscular lean ( i don't like to bodybuilder bulky and don't want to be "marathon" runner lean either).

Might even take before and after picture..cause i know you guys want to see my sexy bod and all....you know you do

i have to say being a gym rat during my teenage/early adult life helped me develop the necessary discipline to follow througg my trading plan. Unless you take crazy drugs, building a fit and muscular body takes time and consistency in terms of diet and workouts. Back in the day i often hear people talk about getting fit, but few weeks into it, they give up, and still look like crap.

I am closing the account and switching all my business to another broker. I had my main account with a broker that doesn't support MT4 and was not an ECN. Also Oanda has gotten so out of hand with their spreads lately that I want my test account with the same broker as my mains. I am going with MB Trading as I can get the smallish size I need for my test account and I can use an EA to auto trade my main account from the model account I will link here. I hope to have all the withdrawals and account set-up done by the end of the week.

I had put my test account up on fxbook basically to quiet the critics on my thread. Making twenty six percent in four weeks did the trick. Now I am taking back control of the test account to use it as I have in the past, which is to test ideas and blow off steam when I feel like gambling. I am linking a new one thousand dollar account on my thread in the coming days and I will be auto-trading my main account using it as the model. I am in the process of checking out MT4I and other EA sources to do this. Any advice would be appreciated as I know you have experience with these products. I don't want to do it through any of the websites so I need an EA I can just use myself.

i don't appreciate you disrespecting my broker like that j/k

if your complaint about oanda is their speads, i totally agree, but when i look at spreads on myfxbook, they're still competitive (among fxcm, mbtrading, ibfx,fxdd and other US regualted brokers). It's just that I've been with this broker since 2007! I'm so "married" to this broker it's not even funny. I think if this broker "cheats" on me, like not giving me my withdrawals or widening their spreads way above average for other brokers, then i'll leave...maybe...i dont' know..lol

About MT4i, they're a good service, but don't count on their customer service. In fact, in the manuals for their trade applications says that you're responsible for knowing how it works and so on.

good luck with mbtrading. i heard they hunt your stops...

Hi TPO, I saw that you are following us on myfxbook. My suggestion would be to follow the entire portfolio, as it is more of an accurate view of performance. Our signals are spread across the portfolio with a difference in position sizing.
Thanks!

We saw that as well last week when being stopped out of a perfectly good GBP/USD position, in which 5 other broker price feeds we follow, did not reach the stop level. We have not seen it much, but it definitely stings when it happens!

I'm doing the ecn version of MB so supposedly no deal desk. We will see. I have talked to others who were happy with them. Their spreads go down to .1 to .5 quite often so the commission plus spread is still cheaper than Oanda. Ever since they went to variable spreads Oanda have not been competitive.

Right now as I look Mb is at 1 pip on EU and Oanda is 1.6. During liquid markets Oanda will usually still be at 1.2 to 1.6 and MB will regularly dip down to .1 while most of the time being .7 to 1.1. With commission it isn't that big a difference but eliminating the deal desk was a major goal for me. If I see the latency in the MT4 platform and the near one full second executions that is a growing problem with Oanda then I will be moving on. Finding a true ECN in the US without a million dollar deposit and one that offers MT4 for ease of auto trading is getting tougher. I would prefer ILQ but I don't have the million dollar deposit yet.
