My oh my oh my! I just joined TL and read this thread. Must say that I did get a number of laughs reading all the bickering back and forth. Knocking a man like Larry Levin and his secret system trades. Well did you ever?

I can speak about Larry Levin's firm. They are ONE BIG PAIN IN THE ASS!!!! I cannot believe the nerve and ignorance of them to continually hound you with their boiler maker tactics once they have your telephone number. I notice a freebie promotion from Larry Levin when I joined here a short while ago. I will go on record here and now that should I receive one phone call from that firm in the near future I will not be very nice to whomever is on the other end.

So Larry if you get my phone number from this site please take and shove it and I will no longer be a registered member within TL.

I look forward to being a member on these forums and feel I may have a lot to offer. Thanks to everyone................

I have gone thru Larry Levins course with Patrick Assalone and I am doing just fine! The important thing I learned was when NOT to trade! That you need a lot of patience and it is NOT for everyone! It is a new way of learning and you have to leave your baggage that you have learned previously at the door. People with the most experience do the worst as they WON'T forget what they learned. It is very hard to do. The people that have little or NO former training tend to do much better. Like anything, it is not for everyone, but it turned my life around and I am very happy where I am now, thx to Larry and Patrick.

Patrick is very vain, a loud mouth and obnoxious, but for me, an excellent teacher as I have been called worse myself! The camaraderie in our trading rooms and help from everyone is second to none! As a disclaimer, I am a graduate and it was the best thing I could have done. Once again, its NOT for everyone and it is NOT easy!

2 months ago (your first post of 4 total) you had not even used a futures trading platform, and now your life is changed?

 

 

I noticed people in here naming trading platforms for Futures like IB and more. As a beginner I have looked around at Think or Swim, IB and came across Kingsview. Anyone have any ideas on which platform is best for the beginner with around $10 to start on? You all seem to be much more knowledgeable than myself. Hoping to catch up....

I wish you all the best in the world because you will need it. I must be one of those guys in the "worst" category. I don't like telemarketers either. Sounds like Patrick and I might be a little bit alike. Sounds like you are with the right group. Good luck to you.

The 80% rule is so outdated. It belongs on the same page as the moving average cross-over.

 

If trading was this simple do you think Investment Banks would be paying quants >100k pa to come up with codes. Indeed many Banks ask for Phd's from TOP universities.

 

If only they knew the 80% rule!

 

I await the next 'Secret trading tip technique'... what will it be? One time framing... If you see lower highs & lower lows then you're in a downtrend? No Sh*t Sherlock.

 

 

Just for the record, there is no day to day correlation in markets, just cos its up today, don't mean its gonna be up tomorrow. All a Day TPO value area will tell you is what happened yesterday.

 

If Larry's Tips n Tricks worked that well, do you think he'd be giving them away in order to entice hapless trainees?

Actually, trading is this simple.

 

The way I see it, there are a good number of reoccurring sets of market conditions. These produce the same set ups, over, and over again. All one really needs to do is learn to find them, and trade the patterns they form.

 

Most winning patterns are good 50, to maybe 80% of the time. It's the times they aren't working that messes everyone up and throws people off their game.

 

The emotional stuff that occurs in trading is much more difficult to manage than the technical aspect. Learning the right balance of detachment, and focus is what separates the men, from the boys in this game.

      Scalping System

      By RJo · Posted

      @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...

      What are the biggest lessons you have learned in the corporate world?

      By RJo · Posted

      Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁

      Scalping System

      By aimhi · Posted

      Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.

      In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
