It can all be said in just a few words: The shorter the CZ, and the longer the CZ, the better we like it.

Gentlemen, these are all very interesting insights intellectually, but they won't do anything to strengthen your ability to trade a CZ breakout. You can either spend the next 6 weeks pouring over this data, losing lots of sleep along the way and ...

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. I would never stop anyone from posting their ideas. If you have something to add to the Funnel or the Heatmap threads, then go for it. The codes that Squalou made for this thread may be altered without prior ...

Paradox, welcome aboard. The algos behind my custom indi are very different. Squalou seems to have moved on. This system has already been hijacked several times here at the FF, and someone has even tried to sell it online. I can't blame Squalou for ...

Thanks. I only wish that more people would get the message. Trading is only as hard as we make it on ourselves.

And here's another one. 100 pips straight down. Totally contradictory to the rules of just about every other system here at FF. But according to our rules it was expected, and it was traded. How was it expected even though it went against trend? ...

FiatFap, we never try and predict direction. That's for another system. Over the course of the thread I have given many live examples of earning pips by ignoring the prevailing trend and simply going where the price takes us.

Not sure if you're being sincere or snarky, but my method is working perfectly. Whipsaw doesn't bother me in the slightest, because I assume that every single breakout will have it. I don't put all of my eggs in one basket; I spread the risk, and I ...

The bottom line is that not every person can do well at every possible occupation or hobby. Just because you can sit at home and practice something called "Foreign Exchange Currency Trading" on your PC is absolutely no guarantee that you will ever ...

Lost Souls Enter Here!

Wow! — 18p x 43b Happening now on my favorite chart. 43 M15 bars is unusual, but not unheard of by itself. But combined with a height of just 18p, it becomes something special. Go get 'em boys! Pips will be made in the morning!

GU M15 — For the 1000th time... No lagging indicators, no candle patterns, no Gann, no Andrews, no VSA, no Moving Averages, no divergence patterns, just pure price action following an area of strong consolidation. Trading does not get any more ...

Right. You pick out posts where I'm being intentionally ironic to try to make a point? And I'm the one with no sense of humor? My point remains: Not every thread here at FF takes the same path as you outlined in your OP. Snark all you want ...

Actually, it is the OP's fault. So maybe that's why we're not seeing eye-to-eye. As a system thread starter I can tell you that it is not easy to keep a tight reign on your thread, but it is possible. You end up having to ban a few idiots, who then ...

This is a fucking lie. I have never threatened anyone if they didn't vouch for me or vote for my thread. The entire thread is right there for anyone to read. What a fucking tool. This is exactly what I mean. This is the type of comments that keep a ...

The life of a trading system on Forex Factory

You're making my point for me. Which shows that my initial feelings on what you were trying to say were correct. I will state for the record that my Stairstep thread -- which is already over 9 months old with almost 500,000 views -- has defied, and ...

The life of a trading system on Forex Factory

You are quoting me out of context. This is what I said about your thread/comments: The result is threads like this one, where the OP's sole desire is to lump all systems and all mentors together, no matter how honest and noble our intentions may be. ...

The life of a trading system on Forex Factory

Stairsteps — I can name at least one teaching thread that defies each of the OP's suppositions. When I started Stairsteps I knew I was fighting an uphill battle. And I almost gave it up a couple of times, because of all the negativity and egos ...

These pix show the very same G/U M15 chart. One is plain, and the other one has my SSBO indi attached and nothing else. Even though this breakout was already profitable for me, this is probably the messiest set of candles I have seen in many months. ...

Here is my E/U and G/U for the week, each with 3 CZ's. Some of you guys will have more than me, but that's because my settings are much tighter than yours. If I can average 2 CZ's per week, per pair, per TF, then I am the happiest trader in these ...
