While money printing is certainly involved, this all started when Biden said he'd shut down pipelines. It became clear his enemy was U.S. energy production--of that we'd have to import it from less stable nations whose environmental standards are ...

LOL. It's safe because they admit something that....everyone knew already? If it's that safe, they wouldn't be shielded from lawsuits.
EURUSD

This market drop have more to do with the freakshow/circus now in the White House than the Fed. Climate change madness, pro-China, moves to increase chances of wars in the Middle East while the U.S. is more dependent on foreign oil, etc.
Fed's Powell says we are a long way from a full recovery
- Longshot commented Nov 2, 2016
Also worth considering: the stock market fell in October and is continuing to fall so far this month. The Fed may not say it, but they do like to keep the markets propped up. I wouldn't be surprised if they're a bit more dovish about the Dec. rate ...
November Fed Hike Odds Tanked on These Events
- Longshot replied Feb 12, 2015
I agree. Those who have exhaustively studied financial markets have shown that some strategies may work: momentum, trend-following, seasonality, mean-reversion (in limited cases). There's not a shred of long-term, statistically-significant evidence ...
Using WM/Reuters Benchmark Rates in trading
- Longshot replied Jan 22, 2015
As a trader, real estate investor and entrepreneur, I can attest that Dodd-Frank is nightmare of "unintended" consequences. Maybe you don't see it in your gummint job, but it's great example of clueless bureaucrats doing what their worst at. And it ...
Forex changed forever!
- Longshot commented Apr 27, 2011
So banks have overspent on entitlement, the military and a host of other things funded by the gov't? Economic illiteracy runs rampant. Sure, some big banks were bailed out, but it's not like they forced the gov't to do that. This is a problem for ...
US Banks Warn Obama on Soaring Debt
- Longshot commented Apr 11, 2011
There was a mini-depression in 1921-1922 that was averted by (gasp!) the gov't tightening its belt. And the relatively new Fed didn't get involved via massive rate cuts, money printing, etc. Of course, we don't hear about that. We just hear about ...
Britain's deficit-cutting plans are 'oxymoronic' says former US Treasury Secretary Larry...

Enough said. Not a shred of proof that you've been profitable for the last 3 years. I've seen very similar systems (complete with rapid-fire posting from somoene who "doesn't have time" to verify their claims) for over 5 years on forums. I just ...
Price Action Trading with Indicators! The Freebie System

With all these grandiose claims, I look forward to you backing them up with sanitized account statements for the last 3 years and a myfxbook account. I hope the newbies searching for "easy pips" will expect the same...
Price Action Trading with Indicators! The Freebie System
- Longshot replied Oct 5, 2010
Amazingly (or not), the same Dodd-Frank bill that goes after the small retail trader (who had nothing to do with the 2008 financial crisis) didn't touch Fannie, Freddie, the Fed or the leverage of "too big to fail" financial institutions (all of ...
Leverage Reduction: First USA now Japan. Who's next?
- Longshot replied Aug 31, 2010
No? LTCM, Barrings Bank, all kind of traders and big firms in 2007-2008. No offense, but have you been in a cave the last few decades? Small traders blowing accounts takes care of itself. It's not dangerous to the financial markets.
Could 10:1 be the new leverage in US Forex?
- Longshot replied Aug 31, 2010
Only a few people "voted in" aren't either committed nanny statists or sold out to some interest (biased industry, union, etc.) The alternative is to vote for non-career politicians who put basic liberty and property rights at the forefront. How to ...
Could 10:1 be the new leverage in US Forex?
- Longshot replied Aug 31, 2010
Very true. And not one of the thousands of pages of the financial deform bill touched the Big 3 F's of the financial meltdown: Fannie, Freddie and the Fed. Instead, they stepped up "too big to fail" and are going after retail FX traders and others ...

Bottom line -- those who are succesful with EAs quietly sit through the ups, downs, tweaking, re-evaluating and profits. The rest make post like the one above. It's pretty much the same as any form of trading. Those who aren't successful make ...
Successful Automatic Trading - Like Chasing Bigfoot?
- Longshot replied May 11, 2010
Your screen name is fitting. Some of us actually know how to use 100:1 to profit and control risks, however, so why don't you take your uninformed rants to a political forum? (You've obviously never worked for the government, either, else you'd know ...
Could 10:1 be the new leverage in US Forex?

Thanks for the reply. Your system is interesting and I wasn't trying to attack it. I was just cautioning people about their expectations. Like I said, this year has been pretty good for countertrend trading. Last week was certainly not a "worse case ...

One note of caution: the FX markets have been rangebound and ideal for this kind of trading in 2009. I've noticed a renewed interest in various Martingale/grid systems on another forum. Unfortunately, I tested several and all either blew accounts or ...

- Longshot replied Dec 21, 2007
The problem here isn't that JohnW shared his system (a nice thing to do) or that people are interested in it. The problem is the claim of 97% winners. Now, no one wants to even test that claim in this folder? Some have said they'd be happy with 70% ...
The Holy Grail (trade posting thread)
- Longshot replied Dec 20, 2007
Yeah, I'm not even on this bandwagon but I suggested a setup. I thought a "true believer" would give the trade specifics so they could start the next run of 235 out of 240 winners (or whatever the claim was). Instead, I see people making wishy-washy ...
