i really love simple, especially when it is accurate. this is how i creep up on my trades image

i think thats you not the broker.

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

it wasn't til i stopped obsessing over one style and one view, and all the complications of all the regurgitated stuff people love to go in circles over, that i saw that there's a real world out there and it is and can be viewed on a chart through ...

i don't trade gold so I don't know how it behaves around NFP time. Sorry maybe you misunderstood the question CED, do you personally experience a widened spread when you trade NFP? i trade fx pair so spread is watched.

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

Ced do you find your brokers spread widens with NFP?

i reckon most people i've seen on these sites don't really do any real thinking at all. they just want to steal other people's strategies and ideas and call it their own. people who treat it as a 'intellectual activity' are about the same. you dont ...

yes i see the repetitive behavior it likes to employ. ok i see youre meaning just collect on its repetition and then leave. no bs and no vortex = your word for the bs world of trading and markets and all the noise it comes out with right? ...

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

ok yeah i see what you mean.

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

ok. so when you say collect do you mean you set and forget coz you know what you know works for you? or do you follow and oversee the progress as it plays out?

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

i dont mean like that. i mean that to be a person who can trade really well in the long run, you dont want to keep winning then losing then depositing then winning then losing more and so on. i mean that people appear to have ...

honestly i thought trading was about keeping what you kill. i guess if a person looks at a price chart from 50yrs ago and then today it seems nothing has changed but if you look at the world i think we can all agree that things are not going well. i ...

The way I understand it is like this ....... coz "edge" is just a word, a person needs to workout what this word really means to them. In all my explorations, since I started learning, I've never really seen someone truly disclose their edge. Edge ...

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

alright yeah makes sense for big view. thanks or answering those q's i didn't want to seem as if just picking your brain but i was curious about those points.

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

OK. thanks. but why its called that? is it coz the average trader uses it or something?

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

so if he had to start from scratch like many people do, he would have had a tough time at it? ok yeah that makes sense. question ... what is this real timmy trader average that keeps talked about? yeah i know what you mean. asking q's is one thing ...

hey digger got a question ...... if ur dad didn't teach you all this so you can trade do you reckon you'd be able to learn it urself?

anyone who has truthfully performed a coin toss exercise (not for trading but as a standalone exercise only) will know that the coin only does 2 things - heads or tails coz it lands on your hand when you catch it and the point is for it to land ...
