As far as scientific support for the Bible is concerned this is basically irrelevant to Christian faith. If you have faith you don't need scientific proof, and if you demand scientific proof, then you exclude faith.

You are not being suppressed here are you? Surely the forum allows you to put across your ideas with impunity. Of course, if you are paid to teach by a university or college or school, then you must expect them to have an interest in what you teach. If you are recruited as a teacher of German...

Suppression? The media generally do not bother to repeat statements which are demonstrably false or mistaken. In that sense there is indeed a suppression going on, but only in the same way the media do not research and report on iceberg risk in the Caribbean. But in the west at least there is...

I agree with the scepticism over the search for religious / Biblical "proof". I'm puzzled as to who this is all aimed at. A Christian surely does not need proof. They have faith in the Bible already. A non-religious person might rationally respect proof and evidence and facts and suchlike but...

This thread is a slightly puzzling idea in the first place. I thought the idea was that Christians accept the Bible (and Christian teachings in general) on faith. I hadn't realised the faith was based on a rational examination of archaeological, witness and anecdotal evidence, leading to the...

That is exactly the way to look at it. Leverage is a tool - it allows us to take our wretched little savings and maximise their earning potential - but only if you have a consistently successful strategy. High leverage does not hurt - its the losing strategy that hurts.

Why do you say forex is a waste of time? What has gone wrong for you in forex and why?

There is no need to get rich quick. Just aim to use a simple objective strategy to make 6% profits per month. This will double your account in 1 year. Keep doing it. Don't be in a hurry but don't stop.

More undisguised advertising BS. Nobody works WITH a broker. You either work FOR the broker (as an employee) or you trade THROUGH the broker (as a client), but a partnership it ain't.

Its essential to review losers to ensure that you followed your strategy. If you followed your strategy exactly, then you also need to review the markets from a wider perspective to ensure that your strategy still matches the current overall market conditions - really this should have been done...

Absolutely essential to be able to recognise and qualify trends. MA's help in this, especially across higher time-frames than your strategy's.

The stop-losses I'm using right now in forex intra-day trades don't get hit by spiked quotes, its usually only if price is really really going that way, in which case I do want to be out. The SL will typically be about 1 x ATR20 on the M30 chart from entry. Hard to see a broker moving their...

They sound like the perfect partners for Elon Musk.

You were drinking carbonated drinks and Dr. Pepper's, tea with sugar, eating fried food, bread, salt and candy bars? When was this? Was it when you were about 12?

I always wait for a pullback, not so that I get a discount on the lower entry price but so that price can show me it is resuming its rise. The pullback is from the sequence of bars. e.g. In an uptrend, consecutive bars have printed higher highs and higher lows. Then a bar prints with a lower...

At least start simple - 1 EMA, trend, pull-back. Some people say even one EMA is too much on the chart. Right or wrong about this, their principle is correct - everything you use needs to pay for its place on the screen.

Trend-following is as simple as that.

I think I previously posted as a reply that angle of slope of an EMA is irrelevant, it does not indicate anything as its a function of chart scaling. Direction of slope is an indicator of trend direction.

Trial and error. The distance from entry to stop-loss varies each trade anyway - if an uptrend I would use the high of a low bar for entry and place the stop at the low. Although I would avoid using a very wide or very narrow bar for this, it still means the distances in pips/points vary. To...

I am trialling (Week 2) a simple trend-following system on the 30-min charts, mostly for the Dow, otherwise GBP/USD. The r:r I am using is 1:1.5, I add a second trade when gain = +0.5r, a third at +1.0r and as Trade 1 is closing at +1.5r, Trade 4 is opening. And so on, until the trend weakens...
