The craziest stuff happens to me. Some guy writes me asking to be mentored. Don't know the guy. Never talked with him before, but he says he knows this thread well, and that he got my email address from my profile page. So far, so good. So I do what I always do with any new potential client, I try to draw him out in conversation about how trading has affected his life. I do this with everybody. But after reading through the last few emails he sent me, I decide I can't help the guy and I tell him so. I am literally sending him away without even once...

Apologizes if I gave the impression that I was going to divulge any more details than that. Trust and secrecy are important aspects of what I do. I think it's harmless (and maybe even somewhat educational generally speaking) to point out that some people come to me with unreasonable expectations. But they do come to me confidentially, and I will maintain that confidence for as long as possible, even if things end badly between us. The only time I have ever disclosed personal details of a disagreement on the web was when the other guy broke confidence first, and I was forced to publicly defend myself from his slanderous accusations.

Ah yes...... I followed that thread with interest. It was the cause of you being considered Commercial. I must admit you did seem hard done by.

I don't like rejection but I certainly can take it.

Saying that I have often wondered if I qualify for your training so I may contact you after the holidays to see about that. I have learned a lot already from you FXHARD especially when to stay out of the market!
I have tried many EAs free and expensive ones and several manual systems free and commercial then I come here and actually learn how to be a trader!
Whether I qualify or not I truly thank you

I forgot to add that I am remodeling the kitchen now since September. I have learned plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, cabinet finishing (wife did that), wiring, flooring and a good start to forex trading all at the same time.
When I'm done with the remodel it would be nice to take trading to the next level and beyond if I have any brains left
This is likely my last trade of the year. I closed it early at 3/4 TP. wanted to make sure my last one was a winner.

Four trade sets this week with G/U and E/U. Nine in the 2 weeks prior. So just for the month of December I've had 13 trade sets just across these 2 pairs (not counting any others I have had) which averages out to 4.33 trade sets per week, with an average pip gain of about 55p per set. 100% trade set win rate across all pairs. It's now approaching 20 months since I've had a losing trade set -- aka, black swan.

That is really encouraging to know I could do much better even though I am happy with my results now. I have only been live for one month with ssbo but no set losses in a month is terrific!

I have an Oanda demo but couldn't quite mimic your setup on your last pic.
My box pips and buffer pips are the same.

Congratulations on going live, Chuck! A month is a long time to go without a net loss. This already places you in the top percentile of traders worldwide, at least preliminarily. Do it for another 100 days (i.e., 30 more trade sets) and you will have earned it for real!

RE your quote above, I'm back to using my own custom indis full time, the ones I had made since before I started this thread, which calculates box structure differently than the SSBO indi does. So I don't know how well they can be copied from one indi to the other, since the operate on very different 'frequencies', so to speak. I've never tried to do that, so I can't really say. The main thing is to find a box shape/entry filter combo that you are most comfortable with, and then trade it like your life depends on it.

Well thank you Sir.
That means a lot coming from the master, but it wouldn't have been possible without you showing me how!
I will take your advice and keep at it although I do expect an infrequent loss.

I know there is so much more to learn and I will always improve (I hope), but with some expert teaching later on my skills could be sharpened much faster. (I will send my info in about a month if you are still tutoring then)
And if for whatever reason I'm not accepted no hard feelings as I have already gone further than before in my seven year attempt at trading FX.

Took me minute to register the Vietnam reference. Agent Orange, the chemical used there by US forces. But our Agent Orange is from Australia so my guess is, it's more like a reference to a favorite color or a favorite sports team. Rugby? Soccer? Cricket?

Strictly a play on words, between US forces and 007

The answer is found in my post from Dec 20, 2013, just 8 posts above this one.

There is no reason for you to block out parts of your charts before posting. The reason I do so is linked to my post from Dec 20th: I am posting pics of my personal indis, parts of which I wish to keep private. You are only posting pics of the public SSBO indi, so it doesn't make sense to copy me.

And I have no idea what version of the indi ChuckFF is using, but it isn't the same one I am. That would be impossible, since no one but me has it.
