{quote} Hey, I wasn't being serious! I actually don't give a shit how the EU implodes now and it probably will do before we can get to action Article 50. We all know that in the end it will just be Germany and the basket cases. France will be out next and I bet they won't mess about.

Ha! Well doesn't France leaving the EU hinge on Le Pen winning?

Yep, she will! Big time. I'm rooting for them! They hate the EU far more than we do.

That would be Nice if France follows through. Trump already wrote them off as he sees them with no hope. But if Le Pen does win that would be inspiring! German elections are next year too right? I am also pulling for them to reclaim their sovereignty by ditching Merkel!

{quote} That has always been the Lefts plan all along. In the US, they try to target sports culture but to no avail they will not succeed. Sports is in our blood, from K to College. Thank God we finally have a president who will restore sanity. However, we can't rest on our laurels, this will be a continued war for many many years to come.
That is one culture of the US for which I have a lot of admiration. Sport is so important. Most of our Olympians come from private education, which is really a very small percentage of the education system. Imagine if the ethos that private schools have was applied throughout; the pool of talent that could be tapped into is immense. Nevertheless we didn't do badly in Rio, coming second overall in the medal table behind the US, but if you take per capita into account, then we did (much ) better.

I am disappointed that SickofScam declined my offer to post some charts here, so we can all see how he trades. By all accounts (well, his), he is an expert hedger, so due to his absence I shall post a chart on his behalf. I have envisaged his trade on GA as that was what we were discussing. Can someone tell me what happens next?

Just seen The Grand Tour. Wow, simply wow. Thunder, you have got to get that. I promise you it is right up your street. 1st episode in California, opening scene arriving in 3 Mustangs. Maclaren P1, Porsche 918 and Ferrari going crazy on a track in Portugal and great banter as usual especially taking the piss (nicely of course) out of the yanks even though they're vastly outnumbered, lol.

Yes, I was rather impressed with Britain's performance in Rio. I always wondered why they struggled in sports, such as the World Cup. BY your explanation it starts to make sense. China is the same way, even though they perform well in Gymnastics because it is state sponsored, having been a teacher in China, I witnessed their school system first hand. They don't have organized sports in their schools. Also the education is free until 7th grade, then to continue they must have their family pay. This IMO is one of the greatest tragedies of China. A lot of poor people, uneducated who toil for the rest of their lives, while only the rich elite get to send their kids to private schools. Feudalism is alive and well in China.

Looking at this chart, I see an uptrend, but now may go down before going up again. Under normal circumstances I would be enthusiastic about trading this pair. The problem I have is that, trading any GBP pair is a risk, especially after the Flash crash, I no longer trade this currency. I simply can't trust it, especially with the BREXIT issue being unresolved, and the loose lips sink ships in which serves to create volatility when people are least expected. I am still watching it, AUD is weakening. I am in watch mode now.

It doesn't matter where price goes. He's stuck in that hedge. The question was, how does he get out. And you looked at THAT chart?

No wonder people lose at this game, the price drops and they think I best sell before I miss the train, only for it to reverse immediately and they go into the negative right away. Fools.

By the way, that is the ugliest looking chart I have ever seen, I have no idea how anyone would even think about getting any trading 'signals' off that shit show of that cookoo cloud indy with some fancy rsi or stock rubbish underneath masquerading as something of The Force, he ain't no Jedi.

See below for a thing of beauty, no indys or anything like that, just candlesticks, the only indicator you need...

If that is where his entry points are, then he doesn't get out. Seems he's losing in both ends. Clearly he is not reading it properly if that is the prices where he entered.

It will actually take longer than you expect ... and for my money next out will be Italy, but we shall have to wait to see. I don't see France leaving because they are on the receiving end of the gravy train, however if Marine lePenn is the next French President anything could happen ... you might even see Gérard Depardieu return from Russia

The scene has changed, funding has been found from somewhere to allow competent athletes to focus on training without having to also run a job. The results are apparent.

There are good things, and there are bad things about the Chinese system, and I did not know that about the grade-7 children. However it is apparent that students entering the 'paid-for' arena are studious and commit to their learning. In the UK, apart from the fact that our sick society is broken and relies on imported labour to fix the important things, most of the kids at school have zero interest in learning. I can't understand it. Our current charge reports that only one class has students that sit quietly and are not disruptive, and that is because the teacher shouts them down. So I conclude that the UK is sunk, only 'the elite' are properly educating their children and the rest will evolve into adulthood with the practised chant of "that's unfair!".

During my final years in the industry I watched with some despair and eventual (reluctant) acceptance as everything went south ... or to the Far East to be specific. It is therefore with a wry sense of irony that I view this article describing Apple's consideration to moving production of the iPhone to the US. During my final years my then-employer shut their US factories and design centres sinking everything into Chinese and other Pacific-rim facilities.

At the time I wondered ..... and in the article it is mildly humourous to read that one of the obstacles is "... the barrier to moving iPhone production to the U.S. is expertise, in addition to cost". I can't help wondering, how many companies are bleeding from the toes.

Ok, one of my rules is: Don't refuse the invitation from one lady.
This is my on the CPU "lighter" chart. Based on that chart I make decisions at Binary Options, otherwise for "trading" it serves only as info.
BTW Jen market makers using GMT + 1 (so should we), and I would not recommend you to take partial close;
---> if you're in a good trade take full TP, and if you're not a PC doesn't help.
... And at the end something I really enjoy in last time ... so let's enjoy together....

Hey Sick, WELCOME.....

Can you explain on your charts what you are doing? Your entries and exits and how you hedge? What are your criteria? I think you may have a reputation for being an idiot, so please put us right.
