You know, eventually someone is going to have to let us in on what happened in that cab...:cinema:

 

Off topic warning:

 

Last years Expo, 2nd day in town, a few of us are making our way back to the hotel after a fun day of festivities (now by this time in the evening I am feeling no pain - if you catch my drift... :))

 

So we hail a cab, hop in, and tell the guy where to (~6-7 blocks away)... Now by his response, you would've thought this guy arrived in NYC one day later than me... Now I happened to be in the passengers seat and well - lets put it this way - I was somewhat dissatisfied with his keen sense of communication, direction, and efficiency of his intended route. But amazingly, after our brief chat, he somehow quickly came to his senses and found a very direct route to deliver us to our destination.

 

lol. Good times!

My take on 8/10-2009.

 

Comments welcome :)

 

Thanks for posting - Looks good... I was early on that PT3 call. I jumped from the DOM LAT onto a NON-DOM FF. When I take your excellent chart and remove the gap (and butcher it in MS Paint) something interesting appears... Sometimes I miss Ensign... (it had Gap removal built in - one click of the mouse).

 

:)

Yeah, I also noticed some bars being below PT3 in the first part of the AM traverse (if that's what you mean). I used the binary approach for deciding what to do. I ruled out all other possibilities, leaving me with a 5 point profit on a PT3 entry ;)

 

Gab-removal would be a very nice feature in TN.

Nice trading... It is very cool to see how the market "sync's" between AH and RTH.

 

I believe Genesis is going to be at Vegas... I will add that to the list of Q's :)

this is like asking someone at the P/L thread: "Is this real?"

 

I disagree.

 

Just wondering if all those pretty lines everywhere actually make real money.

 

A simple question really. Anyone can draw lines after the fact and post pretty charts after the fact, but that doesn't mean much if it can't work in real-time.

I agree... it is a simple question... Drawing lines in real-time definately helps a trader make money. They don't even need to be pretty to make money LOL!. Anyone is free to draw lines after the fact too. It is a great way to practice learning these techniques.

They are going to be at Las Vegas (the VP for sure, and possibly their CEO), and even though (at least) two individuals have strongly encouraged Genesis to add a 'Gap Elimination' Option to their software, additional interest for said functionality expressed through direct contact should prove beneficial. ;) After all, The 'opening' gap isn't the only Gap which does not exist.

 

More on this in Las Vegas.

Oh, O.K. I guess since you are 'just wondering' about things, we should all come clean. You see, over the last five years, I've spent countless hours, building a worldwide conspiracy of individuals who have nothing better to do than invent incredibly unbelievable stories of amazing trading prowess. By last count, we have men and women stationed near the Black Sea and within the former Soviet Union, in and around financial centers throughout London, New York and Kuwait, across Australia and New Zealand and spanning many of the countries in Southeast Asia, in addition to having numerous agents embedded throughout Europe and across The United States. In short, any continent not completely covered in ice, and we have someone there spending their entire day posting on web sites for the sheer enjoyment of 'tricking people' into believing annotating 'pretty lines' on a Price and Volume Pane actually mean something. This vast, global conspiracy of individuals spends nights, weekends and every market day looking for unsuspecting neophytes of the trading world in an effort to recruit new members into 'the cult.'

 

Strangely enough, the above fictitious scenario represents a far more believable environment to most people who represent the 'just wondering' crowd than when I say (factually), "I sat with a gentleman 2 weeks ago who captured $22,000 USD in 5 days, and he considered that amount a bad week due to the low volatility of the market."

 

Some of the people you've 'disagreed' with in this thread already make nice coin. They just don't feel the need to prove it to you - or anyone else. Interestingly, most of the 'just wondering' crowd often mistakes the 'refusal to post proof' choice as 'failure to profit' rather than 'failure to care whether or not people believe they can profit.'

 

It's a binary choice world. Pick which scenario appears most plausable to you and let the rest of the world make their own choices as well.

 

I have always remained quite comforatable knowing a significant number of people who post on web sites believe my posts lack value. Hell, some have even suggested I am completely full of shit.

 

I'm cool with all of that. You should be too.

    • Of course, I had to ask what he thought about AI.   Because if you can make an entire film on a laptop in your bedroom, do we even need Hollywood anymore?   Will’s answer: Yes, AI will take jobs. (Production, sets, background extras, you name it.)   Yes, it will make movies cheaper.   But no, it won’t replace human storytelling.   Because AI doesn’t know why you care.   It can generate dialogue, sure. But can it make you feel? Can it tell the definitive story of your life?   (Well, unless you’re a robot, in which case… congratulations on reading this far.)   Confidence Is a Muscle—Here’s How to Build It   Will brought up something crucial.   Most people wait until they feel confident.   That’s a mistake.   Confidence comes after action.   Not before.   So how do you build it?   Manufacture wins—Set tiny goals. Don’t climb the whole mountain. Just put on your hiking boots. Control your input—Stop giving away your power. Just because someone in authority tells you no, doesn’t mean you stop. Hack your own brain—Every morning, tell yourself what you need to hear. And just like that, you’re training your mind the way an athlete trains their body.

    • Herbert Wigwe's extended family and the kids he left behind are on a warpath.   The war started immediately. Herbert, the benefactor of the warring parties, was buried last year.   What is at the heart of the war is the vast wealth that Herbert left behind.   What are the issues behind the fight between the two parties, and what are the lessons we can learn from the infighting between the two parties?   It is story time.   1) In 2013, Herbert drafted his will and deposited it with a court in the US.   The will was later reviewed in 2015, 9 years before his actual death.   But he did more than a will.   2) A family office called Tengen Family Office was set up in 2017.   What the finance professionals that work for the family office Tengen Family do is simple.   To manage the wealth of the founders of Tengen: Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Herbert Wigwe.   Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede is the chairman of Access Bank and the co-founder of Access Bank.   AIG and Herbert founded Access Bank together.   Speaking of Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, Herbert made him a trustee of the will he drafted in 2013 because he trusted his friend, brother and business partner to manage and protect his interest when he is no more   And AIG has been doing that since Herbert died.   But the conflict is more than AIG and being an enforcer of Herbert will   3) Before he died, Herbert was a wealthy man, a billionaire in naira and a millionaire in dollars.   He was the largest individual shareholder of Access Bank with a 9% shareholding of the bank.   His shares in the bank are worth 125 billion.   To buttress the kind of wealth that Herbert left behind   After his death, his estate received 1.1 billion in dividends last year for the 2024 dividend from Access Bank that would have gone to Herbert if he were to be alive, but the money will now go to Tochi and her younger siblings, and this payment will continue to the estate as long as Access Bank is in existence and profitable.   But he was wealthier than this.   He owns a vast real estate portfolio scattered all over the country.   He also owns the popular Wigwe University.   He built a palatial mansion at Queen Drive, Ikoyi, a palatial house that Herbert did not get to enjoy before he died.   He also owns substantial dollar savings running into millions of dollars in his dollar domiciliary account.   He also owns a private jet as well.   For a man who was this wealthy, he was intentional about his family and their welfare in the event of his passing.   5) In the will that he wrote in 2013, which was reviewed in 2015, he was very clear with what he wanted.   In the event of his death, his wealth should be managed by his estate and the family office, and the profit from the investment should be enjoyed solely by his kids alone.   Not his father, mother, or siblings.   His kids alone and he was clear with this instruction   When the family office was set up in 2017 to manage his wealth and that of his business partner AIG   The same instructions were left by Herbert to the manager of his wealth.   6) In his lifetime, Herbert had a cousin who is a lawyer, Uche Wigwe, and because Uche enjoys his confidence and trust, he made Uche and AIG, his business partner, the trustee of his will.   7) Herbert died last year; he did not see his death coming and was not ready for it.   But he was prepared.   Herbert was a meticulous man in his lifetime and so had a will and a family office to protect his kids regardless of their age and gender.   It is irrelevant that the only remaining heir is a female.   As long as she is Herbert’s kid, acknowledged by him in his lifetime, she is entitled to enjoy the wealth made by her dad.   8. After his interment last year at Isiokpo, his extended family had a brainwave.   Since Herbert, our benefactor, is no more, we can’t allow the kids to enjoy this vast wealth alone.   They're too young to enjoy such a vast wealth, and besides, the oldest of the surviving kids is a 26-year-old, Tochi.   Tochi is a woman, and in their thinking, too young to control what his late dad left behind. The rest of Tochi‘s surviving siblings are younger than her and they are in secondary schools.   The Herbert Wigwe family is accusing Tochi of living a champagne life, which they believe she is too young to enjoy.   Tochi is living alone with the house servants in the palatial mansion on Queen Drive, Ikoyi, that her dad built, which he did not enjoy before he died.   They also accused her of flying private jets and using the private jet that the dad left behind for her local travel.   To regulate this extravagance and more, they are demanding 20% ownership of the estate (wealth) left behind by their late son.   They also demand joint custody of the kids under the supervision of their 90-year-old dad.   9) When the family could not prevail on AIG and Uche Wigwe, the two trustees that are managing Herbert's wealth, to dance to their tune, the case proceeded to the Lagos High Court last year.   Just last week, the case was thrown out by the court for lack of merit.   To the shock of many following the drama, the Wigwe family went to Appeal court to appeal this verdict by Lagos high court.   10) The biggest lesson to take home from this Wigwe soap opera is simple.   Nobody knows when death will come, but as a rich man or woman living in Nigeria, put a proper structure in place to protect your family from the greed of your family who wants to reap where they did not sow.   Write a will.   Establish a family office to manage your wealth.   Appoint trustworthy people you trust as trustees and enforcers of your will.   This is the debt and the duty you owe your kids.   And this is what Herbert has taught us and is the best exemplifier of this. – Attributed Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/   
    • The following 10 year backtest was generated by my custom trade-stacking EA dedicated to the GBPJPY forex pair. It stacks profitable trades of different lot sizes, so this MT5 EA can be used in both hedging and netting accounts. As the EA stacks winners, and not losers, the floating profit (green line) floats above the equity (blue line) which indicates low drawdown. This strategy requires starting capital of 500,000 USD for an account that allows standard, mini, and micro lots; or 50,000 USD for an account that allows standard, mini, micro, and cent (nano) lots. The full backtest report is available if you request it. I programmed this EA for a commercial trader who could not get enough capital to use it, so I'm selling licensed versions of it. The MQL5 Market has, for the most part, been banned from doing business in the U.S. so this EA is not posted there. Just shoot me a message if you're interested.
