{quote} Speak for yourself. {quote} There you go, people must be arguing against something because of a deficiency. At least try to hold yourself back, even just for the sake of discussion. You seem to want to take my argument personally. I assure you, I don't care. I am debunking the idea that retail forex day traders make a steady 'insert number' of pips per 'period'. Scalpers who actually exploit price inefficiencies (mostly on stock indexes) can claim this, Forex day traders can't make this claim convincingly. Fret not, there is still hope....
This is the part where you go wrong. I never said, nor for that matter anyone in this thread said, that every day trader will make a steady "insert number of pips" per period. No one said that! I, we, the rest said that you can make a monthly living day trading. Do you know what a day trading means even? Well it does not mean that you have to trade every single day! You trade when the right conditions appear and you hold/trade until the end of the day. You don't hold positions overnight, you are flat, squared, call it whatever you want at the end of the day.

And on January, 5th if you couldn't make those 10-30 pips, as Cindyxxx pointed out, on EURUSD or GBPUSD or even USDJPY which was choppy for that day then you need to study more or go find a job where you work for someone else like a good little slave.

Heck, even today you could have made money on GBPUSD.

Hmm, the more someone challenges the notion that markets are predictable and conform to the expectations of retail traders the more insecure you seem to become.

I dont see the point of saying anything more, you will just keep accusing me of being a Mingary.

Not at all. Instead, it seems like you are continuing a conversation that nobody was even having. Nonetheless you've injected your topic into the thread and away it goes. It seems you don't even recognize how bizarre your posts are in this thread while people try to catch-up with an imaginary conversation you must have been having with yourself.

But, hey, I've replied to you now so you can add me to your list of people to argue with about... whatever.

Very well, you qualify as a worthy opponent.

Unfortunately I looked at your posts and I can find no quarrel with them (considering that you are merrily bashing Mingary while remaining void of any argument).

You said you were going off to make pips. Do you make pips in your dreams? Is that how it works? Do you dream of electric pips. We'll always be together... together in electric pips.

Like would forex ever be shut off to us retail traders? No one would benefit from that i don't think? For example the usa government trying to shut it off or the regulators is that likely to happen at all?
The US in general is against any form of "gambling" and they see retail forex as a form of gambling which for some is true but for others its an asset class in terms of an investment whether it be a hedge against international exposure.

Im not really concerned about the US for retail forex as its being dying a slow death for years whereas in Asia its booming.

Japan has its own set of rules and the volumes havent declined.

China is starting to "relax" some operational controls but with good governance I see China and its neighbours entering into the FX arena in a big way once these are in place.

The future isnt dead for retail traders infact its going to get bigger.

{quote} the issue never had anything to do with what I do for coin. that's my business. there's nothing schoolyard bully here, just you being a mopey fuck with every...single...fucking...post. someone needs to a do a welfare check on you to make sure you aren't hoarded away in some fire-trap with your tinfoil cap on. holy shit. I don't "pretend" anything. I'm happy to tell you flat-out, and bold it so you don't miss it, that I haven't made any trades for quite awhile now. Does this make you happy? Sad? Horny? There's more things I haven't done recently...

95 % bashing ...
Holding my nose while I sift through the vociferation and diatribe, I can only comment on the three barely coherent remarks you blurted out:

1 ) "... that I haven't made any trades for quite awhile now."
You and a million others .. I am not surprised. All pretense, half lived and half lies. Where are all those forex millionaires hiding?
Some time ago someone here was offering 50,000 usd to any one who you show a forex profit after a year. No one took the challenge.
Making consistent profits in Forex is a lot like the weather, many talk about it, but no one does anything about it.

2 )"I suppose the hedge funds are all losing money every day, right?"
==>Hedge funds do not build their business thanks to some secret "trading edge", but on their ability to attract OPM (other people's money) on a regular basis. They have to show a little positive return and an enormous amount of marketing and PR to rake in those millions until they have to close shop either due to losses or fraud.
It makes no difference if it's some bucket shop in Cyprus trying to sell its signal system for 200 usd to a sheep herder in Bengladesh or Paul tudor Jones trying to get a 100 million investment from some millionaire on long Island.

3) "Only the banks get out of this game alive, right?"
==>Banks don't take risks. This is grossly simplified, but their business model for "trading" is deal based. 500 million in usd to exchange to yen fall on their lap, they will use all the tricks in the book to milk it for all it's worth. As a "service" to the customer, of course.

Also, the forex - more than any other financial markets - does attracts the lower life forms of humanity - just as gambling would.
for instance, do you believe this guy is legit ?

Weak reply that took you days.

You aren't telling anyone anything that they don't already know. I think your problem is you probably believe you are the only person on the planet who knows how tough this gig is and who the money is going to and how.

You aren't.

You don't need to sit on this forum telling everyone just how evil forex is and how the banks made you cry. Get over yourself.

And there was nothing incoherent about anything I've posted... you just don't fucking understand much of anything.

Just go away. If I didn't come here for another few months I bet you'd still be here being the sad sack. Take a look at yourself and your life.

I'll give you a hint: Nobody cares what you have to say.

That's a bit cheeky coming from the likes of you. You've been back here since you last posted in this thread, and you certainly don't behave like someone with better things to do with their miserable life.
