"Recovered" ?

Trading is not about about recovery, this term is used in poker, in gambling, you are a loser if gambling in trading.

And you do know exactly what I am talking about, just show us the first trade explorer where you cashed in after the 100K mark...

You seem to have a lot of faith in Goodboy and are convinced about everything that has been written in his favor here.

If this is indeed the case, then why don't you deposit 5k and then subscribe to his trade copier service? You can then post your live myfxbook live for all to see.

This will prove just how much you do ultimately trust GoodBoy right? If you can't, then your words really have no validity as you are not prepared to your money where your mouth is.

I don't understand why are you letting such a good opportunity go to waste if you are so convinced about everything Goodboy says?

LondonFx1, I have to admit you have nailed me down with your words about the 5k go-and-try. Anything I would try to say would sound stupid, I believe. I think you have a brilliant logic in your words regarding the 5k and does not look like it is defeat-able by my tiny little IQ of 75... That round goes for you!

Just for the records. The trading style of GoodBoy, which looks terrifying at a first glance, helped me to develop my own similar way of trading. It is too early to say anything final, but it looks like a massive improvement to everything I have ever done. Sort of GB did open my eyes. But I am not fully there yet. That is why I am still uncertain in my own performance. I think in about 4 to 5 weeks I will be fully ready to go live with my own version of his ingenious trading style and I kind have the feeling, my version to be a lot better performer than GB's original one, which I admire.

GB just gave me what I was missing during the last 18 months. Lets see what will happen. I have loaded up 40k with three different brokers. The money is up and waiting to go live... when fully ready. These TEs I will post at FF.

This isn't a boxing contest so please stop with the contrived sarcasm and "winning of rounds".

I am eager to learn how GB has helped you. I have read through this entire thread as well all of GB's postings through the web and no where have I found anywhere where his mentions his rules and method of trading? So what exactly did you learn and where did you ascertain this information from?

You say you are "not fully there yet"? Isn't this all the more reason to subscribe to his service as you are of the belief that he is "fully there"? You can subscribe to his service and be making money whilst you are figuring out the missing pieces right?

On all time frames, I have noticed the candles to be almost the 50:50 ratio, even when the rate is heavily trending. This means, at certain times, there are multiple returns. In a down trend, at the end of the day, usually the buy candles are almost equal as a number to the sell candles.

GB trades the pullbacks. Mostly successful. When not so much successful, he accepts losses (recently introduced, as I have read). Good for him.

Accepting losses does not seem very good strategy to me. There are multiple ways to protect from the sudden trend movement, which in most of the cases is GB's nightmare came true...

I am now trading 1-10% stop orders (trend chasing) and 90-99% limit orders (range harvesting). I have switched from trend chaser to a range chaser. In range there is a lot more money and a lot less risk. Still trading all the time both strategies into the same time, just closing at different.

No need to subscribe to GB's services, cause I got everything I need for going where I want to go. Just need to master the synchronization in between the trend and range closures, cause that is my biggest challenge right now. Being quite successful recently, but I see a large ground for massive further improvements. So, not in a hurry. Forex is not going anywhere.

I am not advertising anything here, neither I do want to interfere with GB's tread in any way that would benefit me directly or indirectly. Just respect the guy and being very thankful to GB for showing me where to look at exactly. Feeling a little bit sorry for him for accepting losses as a way of trading, but that is his own choice... I do prefer to cash in on in all cases - trend or range (just in different times).

Thank you for the explanation.

However without GB confirming what you have interpreted, no way of knowing whether that is really what is going on.

"...Accepting losses does not seem very good strategy to me..." Each to their own I suppose.

Look forward to seeing your real Trade Explorers.

Good luck.

Can you give me names of other forums i have been kicked off? I didn't expect a man of your age (i glanced at your profile) to be making up lies. Very sad.

Guys, I made tons of money but this shouldn't be the discussion. What i make is my personal business. Discussion should be about trading and quality of performance & the service offered. i am keeping my doors open to let in people in need of help.

Trading isn't for all. It's really sad to see people with dreams & hope get crushed by markets. So if you don't believe me, its fine you can carry on trading on your own, when you get crushed and lose all up, i'll be right here with open arms

Dude of course it is not about believing or not believing in you, are you that naive or taking us for such fools ?

You said your first TE went above 100k and that you cashed in, well that is great then, such data is worth a lot of money man, put a TE like that on myfxbook, zulutrade, currensee, etc..., will have a huge impact in term of business, but of course not !

I think goodboy took it up the a*s with the previous Trend Explorer that is why he opened up a new Trend Explorer too shy to show us he lost it against a guy much stronger than him.

But hey, very easy to get me wrong, very very easy to verify if I am wrong or not..., and to shut me up for good, come on good boy, post your previous TE.

You might not believe me, but I do respect both of you. Just guarding GoodBoy's way of trading, cause there is a lot of wisdom and very good reasons in it. I would not describe it as gambling, but if you say so, maybe you do know it better than me...

Here are few examples.

I am experimenting now with someone who has a nice trending EA (lots of my stuffs in this particular EA, too). This is a demo. I am guarding him with my range strategy, based on GoodBoy's eye-opening flash idea I got few months before. The vertical yellow line shows where the start is. The thick orange line shows the average sell orders price. The thick blue line shows the average buy orders price. The slim lines are for the virtual pending orders average price locations.

This looks as a nice trend, but is it so? I am putting my life, it is not a trend, at all. It might look such, but it is an illusion...
At the time I started this very session you do see in above, the balance was around 101k I believe. The trending EA I am guarding added 2x2.5k, the rest is on me (GoodBoy's "gambling" style, sort of). And if it spikes/rebounds/both, I will quadruple my current profit, I guess.

Lets stop talking. If you do wish, I will show you the beauties of GoodBoy's approach, without his loss acceptance moments, of course. And this thing is in it's early stages in development... GoodBoy deserves big respect. Train your eye to see the best in everyone and you will understand the meaning behind these words.

P.S. My two GBPUSD hedge TEs (demos) are also based on the same thing, btw. We have to respect the Brexit volatility. Now it is not the best time to trade this style. But I will continue trading it, just to learn what will happen when things get shitty. I would love to learn as much lessons as possible for as short time as possible.

My 2cents worth.

Lets take a potted histroy of this thread...

Claims of making 10s of thousands...

People wanted a TE

TE posted

People started complaining about the way he traded

Big DD

TE taken down

Blah blah blah, making 10s of thousands again

Put TE up...

the cycle continues.

All this with canvassing for people to copy his services.

For the record, the 35% off a profit of 600K is closers to 200K, not 400K.., as it is PROFITS, not account size, but that is by the by...

So my personal thoguht son this. GB does not come across as legit in terms of what his ture intentions are, and the fact that there is no CONTINUOUS TE should throw up some massive red flags to any prospective investor. Typically for a service liek this I woudl want to see AT LEAST 2 years worth. 1 month, 2 months, even 6 months is simply not enough, especially with the way the market moves in seasonal cycles... not to mention the annual type of news events. Anyone who woudl invest based on such a small amount of data must be loose a few bolts in their head...

On the flip side, GB has shown that he did indeed turn 4K into c. 70K, and then blew a massive proportion of that. The hatred for him seems to stem from people not wanting him canvassing for 'clients' which i really dont believe he has any, but that is also irrelavant.

Looking at the facts of the matter, he is showing a green profit in his current TE, c. $4800 for this month alone. And yes, he could easily have a big drawdown. But DD is also beside the point, as it is your NET winnings that are important. DD is pretty irrelevant over time if that is part of the trading plan. Not quite sure where all the hatred is coming from in my opinion.

Would I sign up - not on your nelly.

Would i want anyone else to sign up? Coudl not care less.

Do i hate GB for his results or for the canvassing, nope, again, only YOU are in charge of where YOU put your money. That is a decision to be made on your own. and if you get burned, you may learn from it, otherwise you may get lucky and make a killing.

It seems that people have made their judgements (which they are perfetcly entitled to) but will burn at the stake any proof, or evidence that is shown regardless. How one person trades is not anyones buinsess but their own. Dont get me wrong, if i were to want to invest in GB, i woudl be doing some proper due diligence... especially with $5K at stake. If people choose not to do that, again, that is their issue.

Somehting to bear in mind, that if he finishes with just 1cent profit, he is a winner... and that bucks the trend of many a forex trader...

Or you could do the tiniest bit of due diligence, and click on his name, do a search on the forum... anything... and see his TE he has made $2288 this week.

Curently has equity of 13K, and has a profit of 14K... which means he has withdrawn.

regadless of whether this is a real account or demo,it is showing green, and is showing a big profit, and is showing withdrawls so currently he is playing with the markets money, not his own...

Dont quite see how that leads to you making a really silly comment, and laughing at him???? Interesting. He just has not replied to this thread since 1st June (SHOCK HORROR)

Sometimes it is better to remain slient and be thought of as a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
