Thanks for taking the time to reply, but you haven't really refuted the points I made. There's no point in my repeating them, so I'll simply move on.

Is Drawdown Killing Your Forex Investment? Get Robotized Help!

Sorry, but I'm not convinced. Institutional traders tend to hedge by buying put/call options and/or using correlated instruments. If you're "hedging" in the same instrument, then while hedged you're effectively paying spread and swap differential on ...

Is Drawdown Killing Your Forex Investment? Get Robotized Help!

Doesn't make sense to me. To state the obvious, the market doesn't behave differently just because one insignificant retail trader is in drawdown. It follows that a strategy (entries/exits) with a genuine edge will make money, regardless of the ...

Institutional Equivalent Education?

As far as I can tell, "footprint" charts differ somewhat from software manufacturer to manufacturer, hence some versions may be more similar to MP (which is more precisely standardized) than others. However, the concept of performing a study of bid ...

Yeah, the "don't have a bias" talk is about as useful as an inflatable dartboard (aw c'mon guys, d'ya know what I mean?) Really enjoyed my 3 weeks' training with Ray, now I gotta somehow bag'n'tag all of the info, and then celebrate with a ...

Institutional Equivalent Education?

Sorry, but I no longer have the time or motivation to code other traders' ideas. I went through a period where I wanted to see FF improved, but I've since come to realize that it was my own expectations that needed changing. Forums are what they ...

Please note -- from the 'Terms and Conditions' section in post #1: This indicator is already complex and to add new features, and then re-test every possible combo of settings, would be a time-consuming job.

Daily Boxes/Lines indicator

Sorry, I'm not familiar with him. Perhaps his story suggests that Trade Explorers can also be faked? I think most people would see WB as an "investor" rather than a "trader". But I wonder exactly how long one would need to hold positions in the ...

I wasn't specifically targeting the gent who was selling info for $200. I was merely attempting to answer the general question: "why would a genuinely profitable trader sell education as a sideline?" Incidentally, according to this post, myfxbook is ...

The following is in reply to an e-mail that I received. Please note that I am not a pro trader, I merely run a couple of small accounts and experiment with EAs and semi-auto trading as one of my hobbies. The essay below reflects my current ...

"Now for the logical part, since you are a hotshot in trading and are all over the news, why are you here offering 1 hr sessions for 200$ at the first place? Should't someone like you be making much more than that by trading your own money? Why ...

Given the inverted commas around the word "normal" and also the emoticon at the foot of Erebus' post, I think here's merely pointing out the irony that's implicit in the "Often referred..." quote.

Why should it matter what I expect? The onus is on him to provide some solid evidence. If he doesn't, I won't be paying him anything. Many thanks for your reply. I'll keep my opinions (and my money) to myself for the moment. Let's see how this ...

Fair enough. I'm not accusing you of anything. $200 is a small price to pay if you have valuable information to offer. I don't care too much about your trading account. Even a dumbass trader like me can show a profitable account. But if I'm going to ...
