:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: now that is funny LOL :haha: and :cool:

 

So, if a newspaper headline says, "A woman was shot last week and the bullet's in her yet.", would that mean the bullet ended up in her dog...or it's in some part of the female anatomy that I'm unaware of?

Oh what the heck. The riddle wasn't the hoot...it was everybody's guesses. It was how funny it was to see how one guy with a really lame "riddle" led everybody around by their nose..for way too long. Then, one by one they all turned on him like Cujo yet he didn't give a flyin' flippo. Common guys, it was a fascinating process and it was funny...admit it and let's all have fun with the next one...ok.
thanks roger. now you are a real trader. real traders are never sore losers! i think livermore subscribed to that philosophy??

I accept losses all the time .....of course losses happen.

 

In the context of THIS little story you put on here , it would be like trading and getting stopped out right away only to have your broker call you right after and say " you see that? You like how we just took you right out there ?? We own you"

Roger ,

 

Yes I agree time to move on , we all got sucked in.

 

 

Not to change the subject here but I notice the "C" under your name and it stands for Coach.....just what exactly are you are coach of?

 

I'm a trading instructor for my company called Felton Trading. Something I've been doing for the past 17 years.

 

Hey, I think ole Patuca was having fun and just got a bit carried away...whole thing just strikes me funny.....

Okay I thought the riddle was pretty funny (although the Y should have been capitalized even though that would not have helped anybody). Your attempt to turn it into a lesson in trading psychology missed the mark though.

 

You came off more like just another little Napoleon that this industry seems to be riddled with. (See what I did there? the play on the word riddle hah)

well in the course of the discussions about the riddle i did say:

 

1) it was simple

 

2) the answer was right there in front of you (or something to that effect)

 

3) it was a stupid riddle

 

4) you would be mad

 

so i forewarned all. have a good evening. remember be careful what you listen to especially if it comes from me..:confused:

 

lesson to be learned: all the warning signs can be right there in front of us and we still get suckered into that bull/bear trap. don't ignore the warning signs.

You mean you don't remember the Coach of the 1963 Texans? The man who invented the famous Divergence play in nickel formation. That play was trend setting, it took the team all the way to the double top.

JUST KIDDING..JUST KIDDING

 

"a man came to a bridge that crossed a railroad track. he went across the bridge but yet went around the bridge at exactly the same time. how did he do it?"

 

the answer is:

 

His Dog was named YET

 

Very nice. I can see why no one is ever able to solve it.

OK thanks for answering.

 

You bet, Gekko. I trade differently from just about anyone on the blue marble. If something isn't powerful, accurate and simple, I toss it. I've tossed a lot of junk over the years but every once in a while....

 

In trading, seems like to get the really good stuff, you have to make it yourself. But you may have discovered that already.

 

What happened to the riddles??

oh sh$t i gotta leave. here comes mighty mouse. i see he just entered the thread.

 

bye!

 

Relax, Patuca...MM's a good trader and actually a nice guy. Plus he complimented the stupid riddle....lol

 

Besides, traders gotta learn how to handle the tuff markets, too. MM is kinda like trading in chop in very low volume...but with a bottle of Jack Daniel in your hand. Ok, I gotta go work on a better analogy than that.....

Shoot the FX trader with one bullet.

 

Then shoot the lock off the door with the other and run.

 

?

 

Here's my puzzle:

The hokey-cokey - maybe that really is what 'its' all about?

thanks..but capitalized?..why should i make it easy?... it was actually a dumb riddle but it does indicate we aren't as smart as we think we are since we can't figure out a stupid riddle when the answer is in the riddle itself.
Your attempt to turn it into a lesson in trading psychology missed the mark tho

ugh.

i have missed the mark many more times than i hit it in my life. "i succeed because i fail" it is hard to learn anything from a stupid riddle eh?

 

You came off more like just another little Napoleon that this industry seems to be riddled with. (See what I did there? the play on the word riddle hah)
like i said previousley "i don't care how i come across"... however, most traders come across arrogant like the "big Napoleon" that is why they lose and will continue to lose.

 

anyway it was done in fun with alot of tactics to divert people from the answer staring at them in the face the whole time. as i said earlier i did forewarn people but they still "fell" for it and got suckered in. such is human nature..

 

the one consolation everyone can have as they lick their wounds :rofl: :rofl::haha: IS NO ONE HAS EVER SOLVED THE RIDDLE THAT I KNOW OF. now einstein might have solved it but he is dead and his brain is in a jar somewhere. trade well :)

Hummm....I still like my answer that the bridge made a 360 degree spiral as it crossed the tracks. He'd be going over the bridge and around it at the same time YET would be walking on all fours....LOL

It's like the riddle a man comes into town on Friday stays two days and leaves on Friday. How does he do it?

 

Was the answer within the riddle yes however a lot is to be implied. We should have assumed then the man and his dog, cousin, or whoever yet would be came to the bridge together then yet decided to not cross and go around the bridge. If both parties came to the railroad tracks however yet was not at the foot of the bridge with the man at the start of the crossing and never met the man at the foot of the bridge on the other side then would yet have not went across the railroad tracks alongside of the bridge not necessarily around it.

 

Asking the question in the singular as in how did he do it as opposed to how did this happen and your reasoning was "he" applies to the man or the dog then it would change the answer to the riddle. If a man crossed a bridge, Yet went around the brigde, how did he do it? The answer then to me would be in a car, by foot etc. As in how did he cross, how did he go around?

 

Bored at work. Silly riddle. Had my whole family involved in this one they aren't happy hahahahaha.

    • @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...
    • 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.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • 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.
