{quote} Mate just move on and get on with your life. Put your energy into something worthwhile. Right now your ego is out of control and is probably the root cause of your failure in trading. This need to be right, get revenge and prove something is of no use to anyone, least of all yourself. Keep coming back and arguing if you must but you'll never be satisfied and no one will take up your challenge.
Mate, I do not trade Retail Forex, I told you this before but it seems you really don't understand.

Rage? Out of control? LOL.. Im laughing at that... That's what you want, keep trying tho... I think there is only someone very angry here and are people like you when I expose your Scheme, you become very very upset.

Just stop the lies dude, and be honest. You don't make a living trading Retail Forex, that's a fact. Like it or not, that's a FACT and you will have to live with it.

Or you can keep convincing people that FOREX is a great business and they can do a lot of money in forex... Chill out, dude.

Ciao.

{quote} Wow! 15 years! I am only in my first year of trading. Think of give up now, if not i have to lose 15 years of money.
Unfortunately the 99.6% of people who lose money in RETAIL FOREX never ever come back to this forum.

You can browse old threads of enthusiastic people claiming that they would do money after a lot of study and stuff like that, none of them came back to this forum. And they were posting every day... and suddenly they vanish and you never hear from them again. Thousands of members... THOUSANDS who never came back... Never reported back, vanished completely. Yeah, they lose it all. Only someone "naive" or TRICKY can say they become successful and decided to STOP POSTING, LOL...

People who lose all in FOREX, never come back to report that they lose it all... (Fortunately I do not trade Retail Forex, because I know how this scheme works)...

You will dislike this, but you and all the rest will not be here in 2-3 years... That's a FACT.

If someone comes to say: "Hey I lose money in FOREX", everyone protecting the SCHEME in this forum will say any of these things:

_Well, it's your fault
_You you did bad trades
_You need to learn MM
_You are still not prepared, keep trading via DEMO 6 more months
_You need to work on Trading Psychology
_You need to read these books
_Keep reading the James Price Fiction Thread
_Well you only traded for 3 years. If a Doctor Studies 10 years in University you need to trade 10 years before being successful

And BLA BLA BLA... I could list a lot of other excuses the same group of people wrote during all this time...

They have a "Tricky" answer for everyone. They know how to protect their scheme. But there is no way to hide the TRUTH when someone talks about it.

100% FACT.

Ciao.

MapleLeaf why are you trying to fix other people's final destination? It's their life to begin with, they don't have to listen to you or take advise from. I don't know why you have to proof something over n over again. "Forex is for losers" If it's proven to you, let it be. If you're trying to help people, then you're doing great, some people will actually listen to you and take your advise, but some people won't. This is not the perfect world we're living. So respect other members and please don't flood the thread.

He's right though. Most people crash and burn and lie about it all the way through and then disappear. Then everybody else reads their delusional posts and gets a false hope from it. This business is very difficult to build the right mentality for. Most people can't do it.

"I have never traded and dont trade the retail forex" yeah right! tell that to this guy http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/mo...an-mooning.gif . Let me take a very accurate guess, I think you dabbled into forex with the same attitude you are displaying on this forum and you lost everything starting from other people's money, to your personal savings and then you started selling all your personal effects. The last straw was when you sold your house and that was when your wife left you taking the kids with her. If I say I make a living from trading currencies im just being modest, bro i make an insane bunch and im actually feeling guilty about it!. but it didnt happen in a day, it actually took me over 12years of hard work and pain and im currently reaping the rewards. There was a time in my learning years when i got sick of everything and just threw in the towel, I then went round telling everyone that cared to listen that currency trading was a bucket load of shit! but funny i just kept coming back to the Shit.

Its like walking into the waiting area of a big hospital and then seeing a neatly dressed surgeon and then falling in love with his outfit and vowing to become a surgeon and hoping to qualify in a year. Forex trading is very serious business, but the horde tend to treat it as a get rich quick game. Sorry to say this, but currency trading is not for everyone! a lot will try and fail disastrously! but for the very few that lasts the mile, its http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/funny/2/...y-emoticon.gif All the way!

This was hilarious ... and man it sounds like trading is really hard because you've almost spent 12 years which is enough to be a surgeon like in your example as it takes around 14 years to be a qualified surgeon ( 4 pre med + 4 med + 6 specialty ) ... I know that because I'm at the eighth year :/ .... All in all I agree with every word you said

Two accounts so far, one with 2000 USD and the other with 1000 USD. Now I have one with 1500 left, started with 5K and hit a bottom of 200 bucks, now going up. This is the last account I will use, if it doesn't work, I will probably quit. Been trying to make this work for almost 3 years and still can't. It's the most difficult business I have been involved in. Very very very hard.

People, how do you find the pinbars, indicators and signals of entry on such huge charts (4H, daily, etc) ? Everytime I sit for some hours in fonrt of monitor, I can't find them... Then I go sleep or work on daily job and maybe some pattern starts. I mean, it's hard to be exactly in front of monitor and find such patterns in so huge charts time frames.. Maybe it would be more possible in 15Minutes or 1 hour, but I know that the rules is to not trade and those at first. Do you use some kind of EA? Some kind of atomation or alert? any other solution?...

If the idea ever takes you to trade forex this is how you survive 1) you trade and you lose ==> quit NOW because you will lose a lot,lot more 2) you trade and you win ==> quit NOW because you will give it back a hundred fold. Simple, no?

Wasn't expecting anything less from a failure who can't deal with little life's problems but blames the weather, his mother, anything but himself. Since your partially developed brain loves statistics, lets play with a few stats. 25% of all new businesses fail in the first year, 36% fail in the second year, 44% fail in the third year all up to 72% that fails in the tenth year of startup, but does that suggest that there are no successful businesses out there. Every year millions rush to flight school but just a few ever move over to qualify to be pilots. A poster on this thread made us understand that you lost upwards of $100k trading and i was actually wondering where all these profits ive been withdrawing from my broker account was coming from

You are correct about one thing, you'll never ever succeed as a currency trader no matter how hard you try and its no fault of yours, its just a genetic problem in your lineage. The question i still cant answer is why you lurk around forex forums since 2011 vigorously screaming DOOM? oh I forgot, you have no job since no employer hires brainless imbeciles.

Please continue your dooms day message, cause its entertainment for the fx money minters

My goodness you do sound like a big loser (may not be forex?) in denial with a big chip on his shoulder...
I am very amused.
You think you are talking to me, but you do seem to be talking to yourself, pep talk perhaps?, repeating the mantra?
So, what's wrong? Are you putting all your hopes and dreams in that elusive forex fortune? Are you trying to sucker some poor fools out of their money?
Tell me.

ROFL...

The name of his president is "GOODLUCK" (not kidding). Maybe he believes in "GOODLUCK" to make money in FOREX?

Obviously nobody here can take anything serious coming from Makavell. Nothing personal, Machiavelli, just being realistic.

It's obvious he doesn't make a living in RETAIL FOREX and he will never do a living in this, like 99.6% of people in this world.

Like I said, I do not trade RETAIL FOREX... In every post in this thread I said the same, I do not trade RETAIL FOREX... So go ahead and try to understand what you want. I don't care. But WOW, browsing thru 500 old posts from a user to try to find "something" to try to prove "something" (In vain tho)...

WOW, Machiavelli, I hope you are getting paid for this...

The problem is that you try to convince people and you "try" discredit others (In vain tho) to try to "Defend" your scheme and make these people put their money and lose it in forex. That's sad from you, Machiavelli. Again, are you getting paid for all this job you do to try to Defend your scheme? We all know you don't make a living trading RETAIL FOREX, Machiavelli. We all know it.

You must be very angry when I expose the TRUTH about your SCHEME, Machiavelli. I can really feel your anger, Machiavelli.

99.6% of people in FOREX lose money and you really hate when someone says the truth about your scheme. Yeah, you must be so mad, Machiavelli.

Ciao.
