{quote} not in the least. even the friendly of us have different views. all of us get poked, that's part of the social game. the main focus is trading. yes, we go off course time to time. it's not the place to do it. it's not a good trading environment to talk religion or much politics. thats nearly impossible at times when the politics will affect the trade.
Exactly... religion & politics are intertwined and therefore unavoidable talk. Sisse and yourself make lots of comments about DT and his suitability as President which in my view is absolutely fine. You absolutely have that right but what you don't have is the right to silence people who have opposing opinions, which is often the case in this thread. We are all adults and should be able to accept opposing opinions no matter what we think or how uncomfortable some of the facts are.. DT gets called a Jerk and compared to Hitler but if someone addresses Mrs. Clinton's record of behaviour or has nationalistic views they are belittled here as though there is only one credible view on the world. And I state clearly if it is you or other senior members who play a part in suspending someone or implementing CoC's based on you just don't like what someone is saying then that is an abuse of power.

{quote} For what reason ? Because many of the the "NEW" regulars just don't like any other narrative than what is largely pushed here ? It says much about the character of you people who choose to ignore the views of others. The most recent resident Guru taking the lambs private. Hilarious. They guy says enough to cover all the bases of what can happen. When questioned about his "I'll take that" comment after never committing in black and white one way or the other he spits his dummy out. How dare anyone question him. At least you are specific with...
on a purely trading thread it wound be nice if people could just stick to the topic of trading without giving their personal opinions on Trump and Brexit if a event involving these two comes up just talk about the trading implications of the news all of the political talk has ruined this thread and most of it started when some new people started posting here because their thread has nobody on it anymore and i wonder why

when threads get pretty much filled with the blank entries from the igg bin twits, it's time to move on. Why don't one of you red chip chaps start a new, disimproved RUT? Pharmor?

{quote}NFP won't always follow ADP - I know there was a slowdown in Federal hiring in Q1/Q2 as agencies were spooked by the threat of another govt shutdown and the transition to team Trump in general - so maybe some dampening there, we'll see soon enough.
my prediction was before ADP, the trend thus far follows 2015 (see chart) ADP just added some clout. Also 250 would be inline with most June numbers....or 30

It is typical of cowardly sneaks. At the very least FF should display who has a hand in suspending someone and the reason.

Why membership revoked ? What information do you have ? I've seen lot's of members with an additional username tagged to them but still members. What has he/she said that would provoke you to suspend ?

i really dont have much time to answer this. i dont recall sisy or i saying much if anything on H clinton good or bad. so when concerning me. you should at least have your ducks in a row. when accusing me.

as far as Trump goes long b4 he was in politics or even on the Apprentice .. 35 years ago he was a piece of shit. Yes i have followed him that long. he fucked the working man for 35 years b4 politics. why would i expect anything less now?

....and here we go for NFP...

+++ Opening iteration trial for the crowdsourcing portfolio ++++

"No name"


=> On the fundamental side:

 

  1. Expecting inline / sllghtly miss for today but enough to confirm RMT for June. We are trading 88% chances for hikes and it will take a massive blow in NFP to dent those expecations...

Table closes 2 minutes before the announcement...

GL all trading, planning to trade or simply tracking NFP.

So you did have time to reply, that was lucky. I didn't say you did say anything about Clinton, the point I was making is you and Sisse have plenty to say and about DT in a non political way but as soon as someone else shows up in the thread and has opposing views the home guard cast them aside, CoC etc. It's double standards. You see just like what gives you the right to spout DT is piece of shit but Rainman gets suspended for what ? I don't care what you say about DT or anything else but there should be parity to give everyone else the opportunity to spout whatever shit they want too, without the judge and jury here deciding what's valid and what isn't. So what makes you so special that you can spout your crap but can have a hand in suspending someone else for spouting their shit ?

I'm in no club mate, I don't need additional username to say what I want to say and what exactly is "The Club" I must be in ? I stand and be counted for my own thoughts and yes it is cowardly to do what you do, it is an abuse of your power here but you can say what you want with impunity.

For the lambs who are being lead into private talk, there will be no roving eyes so Caveat Emptor.

Hi sisse,

My view:
Top - 1.124
Flip - 1.116
Bottom - 1.11

Flop - exhauation move to 1.134
Inline/overshoot - zig zag to top of range to clear soft hand before heading to bottom of range. 1.24-1.11

Thanks
