{quote} you just realized that?
You're definitely young
Anyway, I can't answer why I am me. Just going with the flow.
I used to be a professional gamer, a born strategist at a young age, winning local tournaments. In the early 2000's pros weren't being paid in the millions/thousands like now for video games. I left the scene at around 19 because of exterior life pressures. Though, at age 12 I had won a $150 price tournament for ssbm. I beat all the older kids. It came with a lot of lessons and sacrifice. See, fti didn't teach me strategy, he just refined it. Most of my ideas stem from video games and his guidance. I really couldn't understand fti's alien talk anyway, so most of the things he said I was pretty sure I guessed in. I used to be a leader of a GB clan for CoD. So I know all about vantage points and spawn trapping. And screen time is something I'm accustomed to, since I used to play 15 hrs a day as a kid non-stop; managing markets wasn't much different, at least with this style. It clicked with my personality. Besides after a long understanding, I was able to visually separate the base(sole mechanics) of the game from its noise(graphics). I just applied what I learned when I was little to what I do now, and it is pretty identical actually. Youthful exuberance, my past and my health were actually the main components to culminating what I understand.
You mentioned Pokemon.
You just found out how I understood the scout idea, I used to use leads(scouts) in Pokemon. What I would do is actually set up my opponent with walls to counter attack, and I found ways to manage most of their available move sets, so it got to the point where predicting my opponent got easy. If you ever have time, you should play me. You'll get to see how I move.
Anyway, I try not to dwell on my past for it has been the reason to many failures I haven't really gotten over so far.
I'll share my most priced jewel. The first video I ever watched on YT. Check the time stamp, this is how I learned flow. I'm just good with metagames, that's all. I've been doing it since I was a boy.

well i'm still older than you.

well if you want to get me to agree that trading is like video games then you got another thing coming..
but yeah, it's like when you're into trading everything can and will be related to trading. just need to find that one thing that relates to trading and you can say, yes, this is how i have been preparing to trade ever since i was a boy.. by playing video games.

the thing is, if you don't share what you think you know, how do you know that it's right? there's a good opportunity to learn something here, don't waste it.


so you did post Manny Pacquiao, how did I miss that? nice.

what i'm saying is that you posted a bunch of stuff, acting like you know what is being taught here, but do you really know?

because unless you have had outside help (like leighsww being your mom) or something, i have no clue how you can be sure.

sure, this is either just me trying to pry your hard earned understanding of the thread from you, or i'm trying to save you from losing a ton of money.

how much money have you lost yet? any blown accounts? no?

what is trading to you, a new game to play to become pro at and make a living off of? well there's no one to trash talk you when you're trading, it's just you and the market. there's nobody else there to prove nothing to, just you and the market.

with that being said.. even if someone was 100% in line with fti's teaching, understood it all inside and out.. every little trick, attack sequence rescue sequence, three kingdoms, sitting duck stops, rubber band sweeps, AOW MM MO.

what if, in the end, spending all this time learning and understanding how to use FTI's strategy and you still don't make any money?! there's no golden goose guarantee here. that's still no guarantee that the trader will make money..

to be honest, if FTI told me to quit trading. I would quit trading right then and there and never look back. that's my word. that's how much i trust and respect him.

I'm actually not acting like I know anything, nor am expressing certainty. I've still been learning like the locking incident fti had to address, and recognizing my failure to apply ideas consistently. I still have lessons being learned and at times fti has to intervene to deviate me from my course of action & thinking. But whatever I know, I won't share regardless, if it is right or not. Fti says it shows on p&l. And he would be the only other determinant factor,regardless. So those are my only two judges.Otherwise someone's finances should be of little concern. To answer your question though, I haven't blown accounts, I don't even risk that much money to begin with. I can survive huge swings, just because I trade so small. I'd have to be asleep for a month to blow something up. Most of the blowing up processes occurred during demos and I didn't move on until I was consistently profitable and had discovered plans. I don't make a living off my trading at all nor do I even plan to. My foreign ammo is just being left there as a playable savings account--not being withdrawn at all. I probably have more earnings in interest anyway. My trades are done in a really ad hoc basis now. I have a day job & still live with my mum. I have enough money to go out with friends, if I need to. Besides, I'm as thrifty as they come. 4 cyl car, my only expense is 25 bucks a week. I don't even do my phone bill. Trading was a secondary thing to which, I've decided to put on a halt until I further my career in a conventional manner. Fti has made it clear of when to day trade, and it is when your employers can't offer more money than you're making in the markets somewhere down the line. And that's not even remotely close to my scope of vision. & like he says, the markets will be there when I'm truly ready. My circumstance with time is much different than most people here and my youth can afford me additional experiments for now, so I don't worry if what I do is in vain. Thus, even if this becomes a huge waste of time in the end, I'm not truly affected or placing my chips on the line here. The markets can get buried, I'll still be living normally. Huge money or pauper status. Right now it isn't what I'm thinking. "In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later."Harold S. Geneen

that's a pity, why wouldn't you with such a fascinating strategy laid out right here? i guess i mistook you for someone else.. but yeah, i was going to ask you what your goals were with trading and such, thanks for answering.

me, i'm flying out on friday to take the Leveraged FX Trader's Responsible Officer's exam.
and i found a pretty clever way to tie in pi and how it relates to trading and money.. going to use it as the logo for the trading company that i'm starting.

have you tried playing poker perhaps? that might be more your thing.. and it's more Fun.. or is texas hold'em so 2005?

hi forks,

just an alternative view point, hope you don't take it the wrong way.

if after spending time learning FTI's strategy and i still don't make any money, i will find out why that is so.
perhaps it is just not a method i can agree with. i understand that FTI's mo consist of 3 main ingredients,
1. the market reads
2. mindset
3. mm and dmg control

the market reads skill set should be about the same.

however the mindset, mm and dmg control, this 2 is actually intertwined.

the only way to succeed as a trader is by you carrying your own weight, if this method doesn't work it can mean 1 of 2 things
you are not suitable for trading, or the method doesn't suit you, and in this case what needs to be done is to evolve and change to adapt, either the mo, or the mindset or simply give up.

in chess and other strategy games like starcraft 2, you can decide for a long drawn out battle, or a quick and swift one and never appearing on the radar till you are sure by reducing the amount of time stayed in the markets, it depends on what you are comfortable with, the read, the mo and mm presented here are the tools necessary, whats left is to forget everything else, just remember the basics, and find yourself in the markets and understand what works for you and what doesn't, there are numerous ways to trade the markets.

you read and see and sense the markets and try to understand it, then you dance with it the way you feel is natural to you, and that is how you flow with the markets, but ultimately the most important thing is to take responsibility for the results, and not blame anyone for anything, accept the results and find out how to improve and become better and you will mature as a trader.

good analysis, is unveils swis 's weakness.
but i can feel, his weakness is genuine and he not aware of it.
Now i see peeps trying help swis out.
but pls no make assumation on me hor.

the thingy about leigh and being mommy. I am surprised that with so much analysis and study of the thread, still some peeps can miss this.
Is very scary for me. But i don't have much energies solve this for many of you.

The one comes on thread, assumes leigh is my gf, that one will get the stick from me. just a twick.

eer note also a word about gaming.
In gaming, you not feel the rewards and positions reversable.
In life & markets, mostly one no get many second chances. Damage is irreversable can only pioneer new territory and not make same mistake.

now that i've reread this post.. i think that forks was actually talking to me and not swis...

swis says that he has two judges on whether he is right or wrong.
1. the market
2. fti

what i gather is that if you (1) trade the market right, you will make money (shown on p/l)
and so the only "other determinant factor" would be if you are (2) trading the right/ true/ real fti way.

because it is possible that you are deviated from fti's strategy but by way of fluke you earn an annual positive%, so you are proved right by the market but not right by fti methodology.

but how will you continue to make this profit for the next year and the one after that, unless you can confirm that your strategy is the correct one.

another way, as forks said, was that "even if someone was 100% in line with fti's teaching, understood it all inside and out" that they could still lose money. this is harder to be tested.. and all i could say is that, hey that's tough but then you really got no business to be trading. you just don't got that destiny. you just don't have it in you.
