ReadtheMarket - Supply and Demand with Price Action

Learn from what master teach. Better not to dig about his trading accounts.

If you cant get any taste of it just move on to something.Master may perform poor than others. It doesn't mean what he says is false. You need to test by yourself.
When newton discovered gravity , he thought he is correct and many benefited by that. But Einstein proved newtonion physics wrong and quantum theory emerged. Many benefited by this and now string theory emerged. People move on. If you can use use it . Try with all your heart and courage. Who know you may find a different way.


Personality
I teach my team but i am far below than them. What can we do?. Our personality has its effects on trading much.

Are we have any of this traits;

1.We are stressful every time
2.We get angry and panic
3.We gossip a lot
4.We are nosy and lazy
5.Our mind travels past and future all the time
6.We day dream all the time
7. You beg others to help you.

If yes than we are far from success. Then you need to work with mind first. Do some meditation and breathing exercises regularly.Or else chose the people with these traits and teach them what you know. Im very reluctant nowadays to teach anyone what i know as i face these behaviours time to time from students.


I can totally understand the frustration. It is our human nature . If we invest 3 to 4 years following some method but didn't work out, frustration arises. We all not different from each other,

But i can assure you your learning graph can go up and down . It is very natural for all of us to jump "Eureka" and after tasting short term success in trading. At this point of time we think we got all of it and post god like trading we have done. We hide the loss and deceive ourselves and others.and in fact teaching others as well. But don't forget that what you know is just a "glimpse" of a vast ocean.

Nobody stopping you from success it is only your stupid ego.

What you learned now is shared freely by someone who was compassionate enough towards you. He may be wrong but intention is what makes him master.
But when you take it and troll him, you literally looted his knowledge.
Rather trolling, you need to construct the arguments why you think it is wrong.Have more discussion on that.

So, I opened up a few messages, and they're not just begging letters. Some of them are demanding letters!

Like this one:

How are you? One of my friend messaged me that RTM is closed so I checked rtm. It says "access to the forums is provided to the very few who put their time and dedication to the community." But I am not able to login because it says I am not authorised. It is your absolutely right decision to make it non free because people were misusing it or may be there are other reasons too. But one point I missed and hurt me that as an ascociate trader I am not authorised to view. Is it because of I didn't visit rtm since long time? But I guess I have had posted some where in my thread that 'I am unable to focus on trading due to my educational study.'
I wasn't going to visit rtm for upcoming april because it is the final ever exams of my educational era of my life in April. After that I was going be free and had planning to visit and post in rtm and learn more from rtm to continue the trading life. But just got know that I will not able to login.
Please help.
Thanks.


That message is not the first of its kind I got, but I ask that it be the last.
This time, I answered it, without thinking:

That's extremely selfish of you!

What exactly do I owe you?

Seriously, who owes whom what here?

It seems everybody is only looking out for themselves in this World. It makes me sick!

It was you that dropped RTM, not the other way around. You decided that your other education was more important. Probably because you had to pay for it.

I'm giving you nothing more for free. I owe you nothing.






Yes, I was abrupt, but I'm sick of people thinking that because I gave them lots in the past, I owe them something now. It's extremely disrespectful!

If you want back into RTM because you think we're friends, ask yourself whether a true friend would always take and demand more?

You did the right thing IF.

We have many excuses for our laziness.

Exam is one key word. are we doing exam study 24 hrs 365 days?. Nope you sit there and sleep, and watch movie, drink while someone taught you free.

we always don't have time.

OK you missed that time. Now you will access for a fee. Pay it. If you have the talent without RTM learn without paying it.

If you didn't learn from IF charts, then you will not learn from anyone.

In my place near my temple, one day a beggar came to me

" He asked me , oh my lord you are looking very good man please can give me some money for my meals"

I was digging the money in wallet. His face was glowing with happiness. He continue to praise me " you will live long sir. I pray your family and you you will have all wealth and happiness"

I continue to search while listening.

"You are the honest man i met since morning".

Suddenly i was shocked. there was no coins inside my wallet. All big notes.

I apologised him" im sorry i don't have any coin to give you for now".

"But you have many notes sir. You can give at least one for this poor man".

"Nope those are notes are not for you".

he was thinking

"May be i can change the note for you into coins". He mentioned.

"No i need to go now". I wanted to move.

"I have been waiting here for 10 mins for your money, at least you must give me something" he was furious now. His face turned red.

"Dont try to blackmail me . Please move away"

"You f**K. You think im an idiot?. I need money now otherwise i dont let u go".

Now his other friend beggars also surrounded me with swearing words.. I had to call my brother quickly for help and escaped from that location .

Trading is for warriors . Its not for beggars!!!!!!!!

Yogi, you caught exactly how I'm feeling right now!

Dunno if I should laugh, cry, or just shut the whole thing down forever!

My opinion is not to shut down. Among these wastes there are gems also. When there are million places dedicated to false propaganda.

I appreciate if you can just leave one place for the truth seekers.

losing trade

reasons:
1. haven't took in mind the spread
2. haven't took half profit at 1R or at FTA.
Result is losing money when this one too could be a profit trade


Missed trade

Fxyogi,
The biggest mistake of human being he/she look each and every person in same way as you mentioned just because of their bad experience with some other people. But they fail to understand that each finger of hand is not equal and how some people may need to hard work in their life to survive that they can't even open internet for daily basis.
I started pursuing First year of BCA (Bachelor Of computer Application) in June 2012-april 2013. I passed every subject and guess what, I could not take admission in Second year of BCA just because my dad didn't have enough money for Second year fees. I let the year 2013-14 as an educational gap but never "beg" even in front of our relative for my fees. Because my dad did teach me that if you have such situation then do hardwork. You can "request" but request is just for once. If you request twice then it becomes "beg" hence do a "request" but not twice.
I learned so many things on rtm and I was so thankful for rtm team for the free education. As they were doing a good job of spreading knowledge for free, it touched my heart and I also started helping other member to understand their concepts sometimes in same way some times in different way. I was liking the thing of helping and learning as well. Yes nobody forced me to join rtm and to do help as nobody forced even rtm team to give it for free. There was help from both the sides with no force but with kind heart.
I was showing my progress on rtm to my dad even IF's congratulation messages to me and my dad was feeling happy for me. He was ill at that time though. I knew that "learning trading" process is long but my dad didn't. He asked me "how long you will be learning? there must be some output of it". I told him it is quite long journey. Then he said, "I won't stop you from learning it but if it is a long journey then you must aware of your BCA degree also because doing all the time rtm learning you can learn trading at certain level but you might forget that you are pursuing BCA too...Son, In our life, there must be a plan B too." He was right. I was completely agree with him. I promised him that I will pursue BCA too for alternate option in my life. It was the last promise I made him.
Somehow after a gap, my dad collected money and I took admission in Second year for educational year 2014-15. But unfortunately my dad died on 22nd april 2015 the day of my fu*king final exam due to long term illness. He wanted to see me as a graduate, I could have get a part time job, make a saving and from the saving I could have supports his medicine purchase to save him. But I focused on trading and learning too much and lost focus on BCA. Of course it was only me who wanted to learn from rtm, and help others because someone was also giving free knowledge to me. This is how I became associate trader according to the rule of ladder.
Until, 2015 my dad was the only one who was earning in my family for rent of house and everything else as we don't have our own home yet. Since he gone I was started worrying a lot with dizzy mine and it went to much that I started facing anxiety problems. I went to a psychologies and it revealed that I have OCD disorder. It can be controlled but can't be cured. Since then, I couldn't focus on BCA exams. How hardly I was posting in rtm at that time only I know. Due to lack of concentration coz of anxiety I failed in such number of subjects that I could pass Second year of BCA. The year 2015-16 was another gap between which somehow I attended repeated exams and passed and took admission in Last year of bca for year 2016-17. During these days I posted less because I was doing part time job for home expenses along with controlling my OCD.
Now, this is my final year. The completion of promise to my dad is near. Now I have only my 52 year old mom and 24 year younger sister. Same as my dad, my mom also want to see me as a graduate and for god sake, I don't want her to die before I become a graduate. My sister's marriage is also yet to happen. You know how expenses have to be managed. So, I had plan to complete the graduation first of which there are final exams in upcoming april, get a job, set sister's marriage and finally every day coming home from job, give few minutes to help on rtm and do the things simultaneously.
But today I got message from friend that rtm is closed. So i visited rtm and read the note: it said "access to the forums is provided to the very few who put their time and dedication to the community". And as I was an associate trader, I thought all the associate traders must be able to access. But my login was failed and I genuinely asked "The Authorized Person" about the issue and also told few things from my side and my plan (in case if he think why i am not in touch of rtm right now). It was a query/request. Because i thought it was a login issue.
But the reply I got from him was horrible. This person looking at me completely different way, the words used by him was like Selfish, Disrespectful, Making me sick, who owes who what how etc.. etc ...OMG I was completely in an utter shock. It took almost 15 mins to me to know what mistake I exactly made. How people can think a query/request as a freaking beg? Providing free knowledge is good thing but does that mean if it is free then people should "strictly" post and help every day like a slave without caring about their life even when in situation like mine? I never requested him twice to convert request into a "beg". It was not even a request. It was a query. For his information, I have handled a lot of critical problems in my life as you know above. I did lot of hard work on rtm and in my personal life too. Hence, I don't need to beg...... At least not in front of the one who look everyone from the same perspective. RTM even had posted on facebook page about my learning and dedication and now this "Authorized Person" looking at me as a Beggar and Selfish and don't know what just because I asked him about the simple login issue because the access was allowed for the people who gave dedication.
Okay. If he think that i am a selfish, then fine, I allow him to think that. Because there is no point to smash my head on stone. And I won't do that. But he must do one thing. On home page of RTM, create a new tab of Selfish people's thread. Put my thread their at position no 1 so that the whole world can see what selfish mean from his point of view.
And yes. I don't expect your or anyone's reply on this post. Not even the reply from that Authorized Person of whom I was respecting a lot.

Good bye Forever..

What chart is this. I don't trade such broken unclear charts.

Anyway this could be the reason

If,
you know from your own experiece that you change your mood after reading something.
Basically, the same happened to me. I changed my mood after what you answered to Michal.
Let just recall that Michal was praised by you for his dedication, hard work on RTM, tons of charts.
His hard work was approved by you by giving him silver star.
Now you treat him like a shit.
Just ask yourself, what would RTM be without all these journals, all these folks that contributed tons of hours of their time.
Yes, you started all this but now you behave like God, bad God

...and as to google translator - try to put there some idoms or phrasal verbs, you might be surprised by the outcome, especially by the meaning.

Hey brother Kumaramy,

I didnt know it was you.It was not directed to you. Your situation is different of course.You have lot of duties pending. Hence trading can be put on hold now and need to work and stabilise your career.

Please look at what you have written. You expected someone to behave in a pedictable way. But he reacted differently. You became emotional shocked.

In this mind set can you trade a forex market where many unpredictable waiting around the corner to happen and shock you every second. Danger in the forex market is tick to tick. Even your heart beat is slower than that.Please see this truth.

That's what i said we work with our mind first and only can touch trading . Not before .

when you are in emotional agitation you will not see the message in my harsh posts.

But it is right there if you want to see it.

I just don't know who Michal is!
So it seemed very presumptuous for someone who didn't identify himself to magnanimously offer to be a teacher of my material.

I'm actually quite tired of people accepting jobs in RTM which they were never offered.

That offer post was self advertising, and extremely disrespectful, and if it was from the guy who accepted my offer of mentorship for the trading team, but told me he could take all I teach, and join my trading team whenever he has an holiday, he's already lost my respect.



Oh, and as for my "messiania":
Sometimes it shocks people when someone kind turns out to not actually be weak, stupid and malleable.
Displaying self respect is in not, in itself narcissistic, nor is disrespecting someone who tries to treat you like an idiot

Sure, you're right, thank you for your response.
My intention was to figure out that, even in this case, with a good management you can take profit or don't lose money at all.
About the chart, it was enough clear to spot a supply and a swap zone become QM (my QM level is a little higher than yours) you marked on it so for me enough clear to give it a chance.

I don't know if it's just commercial members that are allowed to send only one message per day.

I was asked in a message today to let the sender know I read it, so I must post it here. Thanks FF for making me send PMs publicly:

Hi

Thanks for the message, and sorry for being brusque.
I've been having a lot of realisations lately, and should've waited until they were processed before publicly making any statements

Thanks to IF & RTM to teach me a nice way to trade ....

Kumar, my heart goes with you. Carry on, man. Tough life can give you steel nerves.

our stories are different each other, but the mindset to deal with it may be same.

i have recently realized that to solve the puzzle, you can only focus on puzzle. we cannot expect anything else (including money/return). in reality world, that means we must solve our living issues outside the trading world.
for example, the thing we can expect from RTM is the interpretion of the price, nothing else.

Ultimately trading like a god, won't solve our life's fundamental issues. That's why they all suggest make a living first, then spend time to learn trading.

money earned from trading is sth we don't consider when learning.

Carry on.

the reason i post is that it might be very misleading to those who struggle learning RTM

this is a wonderful trade, indeed.

but it is a very rare trade. even 10R is rare, if one expects to find a setup everyday. -- scarcity

and trading this way also means a very low hit rate. 40% or 30% chance to win? everyone varies. but not a high chance. -- low chance

of coz, it must end up profitable overall, since the RR may be high.

Such a shame to see what was once a beautiful place has become..

Sure, I can understand that you (IF) are pissed about the trollers and have had enough.
But seeing how you treat people like Michal and Kumaramy who contributed to RTM sickens me.
You are not the only one who put a lot of time and effort into RTM, please take that into consideration.

You're totally entitled to be sickened.
If you don't like that I won't be played, you may react any way you wish.

I don't mean any offence to either party by that. It just is what it is.

Mean while, while everybody's crying in their beer, I'm going back to the other end of this thread. Looks like there might be some pertinent info on the other end.

I will miss RTM as well... but life's a bitch and then you die... Suck it up and get back to work if you want to make it.
