Tell me your story. How did you do it? How much did you earn, how much did you lose and please be honest. I am searching for a top 1% traders who can really beat this game. Is this the real thing, is this just fantasy!
I made 5 million demo dollars, bought a demo 458 drove it around the demo streets. Then took a demo holiday for 4 weeks staying at a 5 star demo resort... life was demo grand.
The best indicator is price.

{quote} So, let's be realistic and talk clearly. 24K per year, that's what you need to do. And man, Im lowering the barrier to 2K per month... Again, 2K... You can't say Im not giving you a chance here. The original BET was about "doing a living in FOREX"
Damn MapleLeaf you irritate me to no end and I'm not sure why. I guess that's your intentions here. 24K a year? I'm 75% there as of the end of January. I wish there was an easy way to take your money but based upon your previous posts and childish behavior I'm sorry I just don't trust you .4 percent enough to take you up on this scam you are trying to run. I wish you would just go away on a vacation to Troll Island and figure out how to make some money in Forex

{quote} That's wrong. You can talk in terms of percentage all you want, but if you have a poor welfare 10K mini FOREX BROKER account, and you claim to do 30% per year, that's barely 3K per year. I understand that if you use those tricks, you can enter any bet you want. So, let's be realistic and talk clearly. 24K per year, that's what you need to do. And man, Im lowering the barrier to 2K per month... Again, 2K... You can't say Im not giving you a chance here. The original BET was about "doing a living in FOREX"... Not about making 30% per year...
30 percent of a 10k is very significant. It is obvious that you cannot do even that. If you could, you would understand that 30% compounded is a significant amount.

And with that, you said it all.

You now REJECT the CHALLENGE.

Yeah, that's right.

Well I've been staring at forex charts now for nearly 18 months... I can say that the time spent staring at screen's has saved me money from being at the pub !

I've been lurking on the FF boards for some time now but thought id make an account. I'm a programmer who came across MQL4 and have coded up many EA's to find the holy grail.. but after many many many hours... I've come to admit there is no such thing.. only a good trader.

I have picked up a nice trading strategy from just analysing daily charts that has a very good RR ratio (1:5+ risking 1-2%) +. It has made me profit's on my demo accounts and pulled me out of ~ 40% draw downs caused from being to eager to trade.

From what I've learnt you need to be very patient and very disciplined with your rules. I've been treating trading like a uni degree and willing to stick at it till I master an edge over the market. And I want to be 200% sure before I open a live account. (at least 10K if you wanna make money).. Trading is no get rich quick schema..

I've only just got back into trading again after a few months off and just recently doing a 10 day Vipassana course (nobel silence for 10 days and meditating for 8hrs a day).. that was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life but so rewarding! From this experience I learnt that money isn't going to make you happy in life.. But wouldn't beating that seed planted in our minds that you need to work 9-5 a day to succeed in life? My focus is to still master a profitable trading strategy and to take advantage of this technology we have accumulated in the recent decade! Winning would be traveling the world with your laptop making a few trades a week earning enough money to feed yourself and experience the world well thats my 2cents anyway.

Maple Leaf I'm less than 4K away from your 24K for the Year. Should I give you my address for you to send the check to? Here's this morning's tally but I'm sure you think it's photshopped or altered or whatever.....

True dat. Nobody will take it for the simple fact that they know they will lose. Some people might be stupid, but not "THAT" stupid. The bet is very simple. No tricks, nothing strange, nothing hidden. If they lose, they pay me. If I lose, I pay the guy. As simple as it gets.

Also, it seems this guy yazzie has problems to do simple math. 2K is not 24K. Wow, can't believe that guy is actually trading with real money. Probably explains the 99.6%.

He also confessed to be irritated, just by some posts. That's not good for a trader. You need a cold head. If you have irritation or behavior troubles, I suggest visiting a shrink.

Bye.

Actually Einstein, my previous post before that said I was 75% there ($18,000). Now I'm almost at your $24,000 magical number. I still need about $750 to go but given that it's only mid February I'm pretty sure I'll hit that number tomorrow if not sooner. Closed Trade list YTD by pairs traded: Sorry to the others here who may be offended but just trying to show this guy that there ARE people making good money trading Forex

And because I know you don't believe anything Maple Leaf, here is my FXCM Statement summary YTD through Today with my name, Business Name, and Account Number omitted. I will NOT post this information again.

Nice Demo account, dude.

It's not about believing or not believing. It's about FACTS.

If you made 24K in 2 weeks, you will be a multi-millionaire very soon.

If it is really that easy, THEN ACCEPT MY BET, I challenge you. We will make all legal, with signed documents from both parts, with an ESQ as middle man.

You can't REJECT that chance, dude. That's easy money. I challenge you once again.

You claim to make 50K per month, that's 600K per year profit. Let's say you have ups and down and you finish with 300K the year. You will get paid exactly that.

Of course you WON'T accept. Yeah, we all know why.

Bye.

Maple Leaf, this is the last time I will respond directly to you. I will not waste any more energy with you and hope that I helped some here realize that you can be successful trading Forex. I know you won't change but hope you find success in whatever it is you do for a living. I guess you do serve a purpose here in that you add a certain humor to these forums from time to time.......Keep on doing what you do because nobody does it better!

Nice way to keep eluding my BET... You are exposing your truth.

According to Google, this is the definition of "yazzie":

Yazzie; A term used by wimpy, immature men in attempt to turn on a woman sexually. If you hear a man saying "yazzie" then you probably shouldn't date him, or have sexual intercourse with them. He might be an ass, shallow, or just plain creepy.

No one is going to accept your bet because it is not a traders bet. No trader in his right mind would guarantee a certain dollar amount every month. We can only take what we are given.

Like every business even in Forex if some body wants to become rich he needs substantial amount of money to invest.

investing 100 dollar note and dreaming about private jet planes is not possible...

yeah some body can be lucky but its not the way.
