  2. Coming soon. Thanks in advance for your forbearance .
  3. After a while does anyone start feeling like a Hack? A writer spouting gibberish to fill a column? A cab driver looking for a quick and easy fare?

  5. They say "Hindsight is always 20/20" I wonder what they mean by that?
  6. A couple has a dog that snores. Annoyed because she can’t sleep, the wife goes to the vet to see if he can help. The vet tells the woman to tie a ribbon around the dog’s testicles, and he will stop snoring. ‘Yeah right!’ she says. The wife tosses and turns, unable to sleep. Muttering to herself, she goes to the closet and grabs a piece of red ribbon and ties it carefully around the dog’s’ testicles. Sure enough, the dog stops snoring. The woman is amazed. Later that night, her husband returns home drunk from being out drinking with his buddies. He climbs into bed, falls asleep and immediately begins snoring loudly. The woman decides maybe the ribbon might work on him. So, she goes to the closet again, grabs a piece of blue ribbon and ties it around her husband’s testicles. Amazingly, it also works on him! The woman sleeps soundly. The husband wakes from his drunken stupor and stumbles into the bathroom. As he stands in front of the toilet, he glances in the mirror and sees a blue ribbon attached to his privates. He is very confused, and as he walks back into the bedroom, he sees the red ribbon attached to his dog’s testicles. He shakes his head and looks at the dog and whispers, ‘I don’t know where we were or what we did, but, by God we took FIRST and SECOND place’s
  7. Often, habitual traders first trade and then analyze. Last month the big NFP number was caused by an addition of part time as well as second jobs. Full time jobs were reduced, but that did not stop an initial bullish response to the number. When using leverage to trade forex, it always best to analyze and trade with a plan.
  8. Do you know how to post a chart here? If so then post it here. This way we can all give you our super opinuated reasons for never having entered the trade in the first place. NO, NO..... I am just kidding!. Please do post them here with as much info as you can. Maybe we can collectively add a bit of knowledge / experience to them.
  9. Well It is official. not only did Ingot win, he ran away with it and never looked back. Congratulations Ingot! Well Done!
  10. Well it seems like the response to this thread is negative. You can lead a horse to water, but I am not going to punch him in the face to make him drink. Perhaps Clmac or Yertle can start a thread and teach people to trade. Or at least let us know where they are in their trading journey. This would be in keeping what TL is all about.
  11. I still trade because I enjoy it, as I am sure you do. My idea of fun is not sitting around in a chat room When I was trying to teach a system it was more than "when the Pink oscillator points up while the Green one points down, BUY". I explained why I thought the pair was ripe for a move, and explained what I would need to see happen in order for me to pull the trigger. I admit I am a poor teacher, but I try. When I started this thread it was not my intention to sell services, or to steer noobs into the clutches of whores. But I still believe there are some good providers out there. I thought with the vast pool of knowledge and experience we have at TL, we might be able to come up with some good ones.
  12. No, I am not kidding. You still have to eat while leaning how to fish. Why not count the threads I have started trying to teach someone a system. Many business's have to use vendors for all types of things, IT, Advertising, Market Research, etc etc. Hold your breath for 10 seconds, slowly exhale and say "Not all vendors are bad" 3 times.
  13. I operated a small signal service back in 2009 ( by small I mean give or take 100 subs a month ). I averaged 20 trades a month. Prior to that I subscribed to a service because I admired the operators . I wanted to see how they administered their service. They are still around and have grown quite large. They have a 2 hour scalping session during the NY session, a news trade, usually for the Asian session ( they love the USD/JPY and AUD/USD ). and 2 or 3 swing trades a week. All Forex of course but judging by your user name, that's what you trade. So there are services that would fit your needs. Just look a little harder.
  14. Can't comment on the 2 platforms you mention, never used them. I do agree with you that it's all a "Head" game. Many things in life come down to attitude and how you approach something. Not everyone has the get up and go (attitude) it takes to make a living as a NYC cab driver for instance.
  15. The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946, the temperature in Detroitwas 97 degrees. The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford’s office and sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter. Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car. They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately. The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the patent. The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they wanted the recognition by having a label, ‘The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,’ on the dashboard of each car in which it was installed. Now old man Ford was more than just a little anti-Semitic and there was no way he was going to put the Goldberg’s name on two million Fords. They haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4 million and that just their first names would be shown. And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show — Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max — on the controls
  16. FLU SEASON - Read till the end To avoid it... Eat right! Make sure you get your daily dose of fruit and veggies. Take your vitamins and bump up your vitamin C. Get plenty of exercise because it builds your immune system. Walk for at least an hour a day, go for a swim, take the stairs instead of the lift, etc. Wash your hands often. If you can't, keep a bottle of antibacterial stuff around. Get lots of fresh air. Open doors & windows whenever possible. Try to eliminate as much stress from your life as you can. Get plenty of rest. OR Take the doctor's approach. Think about it... When you go for a flu jab, what do they do first? They clean your arm with alcohol.. Why? Because Alcohol KILLS GERMS. So... I walk to the pub. (exercise) I put lime in my vodka...(fruit) Celery in my Bloody Mary (veggies) Drink outdoors on the patio..(fresh air) Tell rude jokes and laugh....(eliminate stress) Then I pass out. (rest) The way I see it... If you keep your alcohol levels up, flu germs can't get you! As my grandmother always said, 'A shot in the glass is better than one in the ass!'
  17. I would like to invite you all, to discuss the FX signals that are available out there. As by my opinion more than 70% of retail trading community follow those services. I believe, that all your comments will help to many new traders to understand when is the time to learn HOW to FISH but not to wait for some small SARDINES. ALSO I believe that they can learn here a lot of things about the FX business (where the money is, R/R profit projections etc). On the other hand I believe that there are quite a few here in TL that are already FX signal providers. Well this is going to help them, knowing how to improve and run their services. ( What are their customer looking for ).
  18. Just curious. How do YOU determine where to place your S/L ? Is it a set number of pips? Or is it how much money you are willing to lose on a trade? Do you use an indicator? Or is it recent strong support ( on a buy ) / Recent strong resistance ( on a sell ) ???
  19. I Have a lot on my plate for the next couple of weeks and will be taking a break from the contest for April. I plan on resuming it for May-June. Is there anyone else who would like to administer it for April??? If so let me know. If you would like to but don't know how, PM me and I can walk you thru it.
