ReadtheMarket - Supply and Demand with Price Action

Guess someone had a huge loss... I feel sorry for all ya rtm'ers

Since FF is a place for fighting, I'd like to call out a useless lowlife ingrate called Satan Trader.

If you have something to say about me, don't be a cowardly little bitch. Come say it to my face

ehh... I have just started to learn...

This is why I stay away from Forex Factory.

Too many trolls that repulse good people. I've seen many pleasant, benevolent people (who don't owe us anything) leave FF. And now? My RTM account has been de-activated because of the power of stupid people with big mouths in large groups. Thankfully, I've taken what I learned from RTM and merged it with other things that I've learned over the years and I now do research on my own.

Too all of you nagging FF trolls, kick rocks. Best of luck to you, If. I've learned a lot and I see a lot better now.

This is my last dummie for FF. I'll be around my rtm core friends witch are IF, Gil & Harry
Goodbye & thanks to everyone that have follow and learn, even just a bit, of RTM content.

R.I.P. RTM

Really sad to see what has happened to IF and all those that follow ReadTheMarket. Although i havent been consistently active because i'm not the most social person, I've been using the forum for about 18 months and have learned a ton from a lot of great people on there. More than enough for the a foundation of a successful automated trading system. Sad to see this venue lost for those who want to learn and teach.


To IF,

I don't know the full story of everything (Im not on FF for this exact reason), but I've read alot of your stuff and think I have a good feel of who you are. I believe one of the reasons you started ReadTheMarket was your desire to help and give people the opportunity to prosper in a corrupt financial (and political) system. The paid Academy lessons were a necessary evil to protect those who "grew up" with you through this forex world. That is sort of at the core of Read The Market and who you are. I'm sure you're pissed as hell right now, but once feelings have settled, that desire to help others may grow bright again. When that day comes, I'd recommend you stick to the parts you love the most; I see you going around doing so much. Stay away from these cesspools, have someone else deal with the trolls and haters. By how things have ended, you've let them win. It infuriates me to see hate win, killing opportunity for so many good people out there, but hey, that's what they do. If you ever want to have a philosophical discussion about social, finance, and political systems, give me a ring.


Good luck to everyone out there, especially to those that are still learning. The stuff on RTM is invaluable, but its really not that complicated (although that doesn't mean easy, especially putting it all together). You've probably already learned enough to become profitable at some point if you keep at it and build the other key pillars of trading (like your psychology, discipline, etc...). People vastly underestimate the importance of those 'other' factors, probably moreso than the information itself. Never stop studying the market and yourself.

I think that I owe a sincere "thank you!" to IF.

Like those attackers, I'm a lurker too on RTM and this thread. The past few years, what IF started and shared has completely opened my eyes and reshaped my trading view. I am not there yet. But the knowledge and skill learned are golden.

It is regretting to see RTM going down, the long path of RTM site ended in a strange way. I will miss IF's blog on RTM, and also mine, :-) Hopefully, one day soon or later, the RTM might be reopen ---- it is after all a huge waste to bury it......

Anyway, good luck to IF, and everyone. Thanks again!

Thanks to you Martin.
I wish you all the best.
I'm really gratefull to you.

Dear Mertch, and Al3cs

Are these TT trades without PA? I think what IF has taught mainly are engulf trades. That's the core of RTM, isn't it?

Do you mainly trading in TT trades?

Can't help be curious, thanks.

We know exactly where price will bounce, so it makes sense to get in at the best price.
While learning, we need to wait for PA.
Once masters, we can touch trade.

For anyone that didn't contribute enough or was lurking and learning and didn't get in, I hope we can keep this thread going and keep learning
I learn this from Salvin, on how to spot the important swing breaks, and when an engulf actually matters

id like to post here my charts so is not lost in the future.

please can you comment if you have anything to add

Well boys you're rich, you're loved, top it up you got your own monkey....this might shove some sense into you since it seems to be kicking away

this chart is from FXYOGI, the boxes confused me a lot until recently. and I have annotated the chart to point out why certain areas are important and why boxes are drawn. these charts because much clearer to me recently due to Salvin's posts, so a big thank you

I hope people can comment and see if I am on the right path. and I would like to post it here for future reference

Dear IF, thanks, wow, that must be next level above then, I didn't realised that.

I know the importance of PA is that PA tells the next target. However, TT trades cannot decide its target with apparent logic. That seems the fundamental issue if TT trading. Of course, a few pips SL make the risk super low, so targets might be not important, I guess.

for future reference,

another screen shot from IF's video which confused me a lot. but by understanding which areas are important (salvin's posts) and a confirmation of FL and engulf I mange to make a better understanding, I hope folks can comment. thanks

Hello All,

First off, admitted lurker here but everyday visitor [Parnelli] on RTM.
If, I understand why you would be frustrated with the disrespect people show you, I don't understand why they can't just leave us alone to study in peace!! If a person thinks the material is bullshit, why not go read on one of the thousands of threads or methods on FF!!??

Anyway I just wanted to say thanks for sharing you methods with us on RTM, I will greatly miss studying the many great contributors on the site. Life gets in the way of devoting the time I need to bury my head into learning and studying markepedia like I wish, but none the less you have improved my knowledge of the market.

As far as the future, hopefully RTM will be available as a private blog for those wanting to learn and study, and help others learn at their own pace. Unfortunately, I don't have the money or time to dedicate to the academy, but I'm sure that many as well as me, would be willing to pay a reasonable fee for access to markepedia,homework and the blogs with people serious about learning the markets. People fail to realize the time and effort required to maintain a site like RTM.

I have been around long enough to see many folks turn into incredible traders after working so hard and learning while teaching. Les Paul, Mertch, Benhur, Kovalenco, and Michal, Just to name a few... and I almost forgot Salivan!! what a hard worker!!

Anyway,
Hope to see you soon, and if not good luck to all with your future endeavors!
Many Thanks!

BTW, Feel free to PM me if you would like any suggestions Ifmyante!!

I will miss RTM.
Although not posting since long time, I've been lurking almost every day. I got used to it so much that I treated it like reading a daily news magazine and I don't read everything. It must be something interesting and RTM was like this. I've been with RTM long before they split with Acegazette. Through all these years I've seen many interesting people posting in there, very few of them however posting until now - most just stayed for some time and then disappeared. I think a lot of old folks just kept lurking ( like me to leave the air for new generation wanting to learn and ask questions. I remember few exceptional individuals from the RTM past and I see few nowadays like Salivan, Omid who have made a tremendously good job at RTM, thanks to Ifmyante's BIG heart.
Let's not forget what personal price If paid for making RTM what it is now.
Now, when RTM access is limited, many of you will go your own way, to different forums, social medias etc. Wherever you go though, never forget to mention, who all credits go to - Ifmyante.

take care

This is my personal opinion, and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of my three RTM brothers, as we haven't yet met to discuss the future:
I miss RTM.
It was something really special, and I don't want to be the one to end it.
But there's no way I'm ever leaving it open for trolls to wander in and break it, steal it and sell it, then malign me for creating it
I've been advised to pay no attention to the haters. Well, I want to pay them even less. I want to give them absolutely nothing.
So, no more casting pearls before swine. These people must be kept out.
Also, there are a number of us who should make a living from RTM. We've created what is an extremely valuable education in the right minds: the only price reading education that's worth a damn!
Why shouldn't we be able to hire gifted teachers, psychologists, and techies to keep it going and growing?
I've been spiritually enriched by RTM, but financially impoverished. Really, how can I sell from one hand what I'm giving for free from the other?
There's a full time, unpaid, massive job I need to do as fast as possible. Why was I considering doing webinars for a larger trading site to feed myself while I risk assassination trying to end this disgusting empire of lies, mass murder and mind control?
It's just insane! I should be getting help right now, not abuse!


So, if our community is to survive and thrive, I say it must be funded by those who benefit from it.
It must be too expensive for trolls to even consider taking a look in, or thieves to steal without investment, and it must support its creators and employees.

This is my 3:30 to 3:50am Saturday opinion, and I think it's fair and sensible.

The trolls will be jumping on this now, saying "Oh there's IF, trying to make a living from RTM!"
My answer is "Yes, I can't believe it took me this long to see the value of what I've taught"
The World has had its four year free sample. I think that's enough

If my idea gets accepted, it would not be me that closes RTM. It would only close if its members see no value in it. Yay!

Those of who live in the poorer countries, ravaged and abused by the empire, who can't contribute financially yet, may be able to barter your time and expertise instead. There's a whole new society which needs to be created, and a gang of emperors to be deposed, so there's lots of work to be done!

Anyway. Mind dump over. Ninite everybody

Ooop!

I've just read more of the posts above.

Thanks for all your kind words. It really means a lot

for the time, energy, and kindness you gave me, for everything, I'd like to say Thank You IFmyante.
I owe you and the team so much.

Yes, I'm not a member of RTMA, but I very very grateful to know you, the team, and RTM to be given the opportunities learn a lot of things that give positive advantages for my trading perfomance.

Hope I can read, learn and post in RTM again.
