That's how salesmen act when you corner them, they think they are really clever, have the best job ever, everything they do is the best, huge ego with nothing to back it up.

Re read his speal, I gave him specifics, he claimed they wasn't specific, interestingly all his speal is totally without specifics its all feelings and emotions.


A few pages ago, he was claiming he doesn't automate with EAs then above claiming +9% with an automated ea lol, he is a lying little salesman.

If he isn't a scammer, then he should be, he'd do way better.

{quote} Actually I don't use this system per se. I am too greedy I suppose. The point is that precision prediction is simply not needed to to trade this or any other market.

A lot people look at threads like these. The record shows that Turv and billytt cannot be bothered to post any proof of anything they say by a Trade Explorer here at the Factory or by Myfxbook.

That alone speaks volumes. They speak of success, but for some reason cannot show that success. Magix has a TE up, complete with explanations. Turv? Noooooo.....he cannot be bothered to back up his claims. He can only spew names and pray that readers get distracted.

Nope. I will keep reminding people that people who cannot back up what they say with some sort of statistical information are quite full of dung.

Sorry not interested in several years worth of trades i will admit average trade loss of 1.6 pips per trade average, but not giving troll's more ammo than that.

I also do not want troll's watching my live trades and sniggering on bad days, trading is hard enough without keeping trolls happy, who have no interest in the outcome anyway.

I live post most of my trades, be happy with that.

So keep your opinions to yourself and stop trolling, proving my method is off topic, you are supporting liars and troll's who have there own agenda, stop it!

They do not have the only method in the universe, what might work for them, likely won't work fir someone else.

Magix's theories, are to pie in the sky for me, I log on, in a park, at a clients or mates, place a trade, watch it close it log off, if it doesn't support this, I am not interested as simple as. I ned simple,objective and repeatable with a win rate that makes it worth while.


Been working on this part time for years, likely more years to go, do I want some know it all to bash and trash my hard work, he doesn't even understand, ofcourse not.

Do i do above to others, ofcourse not

Don't be a troll and ignore everything that doesn't go your way and repeat yourself endlessly, as you've been doing.

nobody owes you any proof, what proofwe've shown you, you ignored, you will likely ignore everything else, there is no point.

Actually a retired control systems specialist. Fooled around a lot with programs that had gone wrong, robots "going crazy", some work with hands, surrounded by people who were more often than not telling me how wrong I was.... Sound familiar?

It's almost a contrarian indicator, the greater number of people who tell you you are wrong....

I can believe the 97% rule from work experience. Anything that has feedback loops ( the fx has scads) tends to confuse people.

I was called in after the first echelon of people failed to solve the problem.

It was a fun job but I got too old for it, so now I play the forex.

The mt4 programming language doesn't look too difficult; its a lot like C. AS with any programming, you have to have a real clear idea what you want it to do( they have a nasty habit of doing what you command them to do, not what you want them to do).

Maybe some day I may write some advisory EAs. But I'm retired. I'm never going to tell anyone what to do ever again.

Very similar back ground, explains a lot, thicko's who think your stupid cause there is no way they canunderstand you, got to hate em.

Robot's hey, nice, not yet, could be interesting.

I get called in when everyone else has failed and they need a out of the box crazy plan to get the job done,it gets tiring after a while, i need to retire burning out currently.

You don't sound old enough to retire, retire early ?

I don't trust programs, so not going EA, alerts are as far as i will go, keep a brain in the loop.

{quote} The markets are efficient in the sense that there are no free arbitrage opportunities sitting around for a retail hero to take advantage of. The market distributions also have fat tails, indicating the presence of trends, an inefficiency. So efficient with trends? Mostly efficient but with some inefficiency in market structure? Randomness simply means you can't predict price movement ahead of time. If you could then the market wouldn't be random, but deterministic. Some market participants claim to be able to predict some of the time. Somewhat...
Well stated.

IMHO, most people who are trying to participate in the forex are clueless as to the underlying structure of this market, so everything appears random. This fact is the primary reason so many retail traders fail. These are the people who start each day by opening their charts and looking for a trade. Given this approach to trading, the market is completely random. The topic of how efficient or inefficient is the market, is beyond their experience. So, for 90% of FF participants, the forex is completely random, and is very efficient at wasting their time and taking their money.

I see the forex as controlled and manipulated, which is where the real trading opportunities can be found. Anyone wanting to discuss this further, send me a PM or stop by my trading journal. This thread is out of control and has become, largely, as huge waste of time. Bye!

You do not have to prove anything to me. You owe to the readers to substantiate your 80% win rate. Anytime anyone asks you for facts, data, or any other objective metric, you scream troll and run away.

If you quit you are simply admitting that you made a claim that you cannot prove. All you need to do is attach your claims to a method of measurement. Very simple. And considering your personality type, if you thought you had anything near what you claim, you would be dying to shout it from the rooftops.

But you shy away from any kind of objective measurement. Posting trades after the fact is not credible. You need to link your account to something measurable.

You claim to want to help, you claim an 80% win rate. End all of your so called trolls and start the TE.

JMN please stop acting immature. I scalped for 3 days with a view to show you guys A. I actually did trade and B. Could I predict short trrm and C using a method which another guy was partially using (Proxy) I started with £100 and now have £300+. NO One has asked to see any proof. So come on Thomas ask me. I will gladly share. I think your trouble is sir is that I made more in one day playing at scalping than you have made in a lifetime. Why not ask me to trade that outside bar on g/j if I remember.
