    One of the most satisfying things I've done recently

    themickey this sounds interesting. I think that youtube have a $10 per month subscription service which gives you ad free access to everything. Does spotify have access to all music genres or is it like a netflix kinda deal where half the things you want to watch are unavailable?

    Need somewhere to think out loud,

    Lol. That would be useful.

    OI and hedging question

    Euro PC ratio from yesterday is 1.65. More puts than calls. Would I be wrong in the assumption that the majority buyers of those puts are hedging long positions in the futures market? Would the put sellers do what they can to protect price from achieving those levels (max pain theory)?

    Because youre a time travelling meat battery. Your purpose is to generate emotional energy by oscillating between past and future events. Your reactions to the emotion causes ripples which affect the ripples of other time travelling meat batteries around you. You have the unique ability to...

    Trading Diaries

    100% agree with you. I subscribed to tradervue for a month but found that excel could achieve exactly the same thing. Now I use Dropbox for images and Google docs. Even my trading is all in the cloud. No more reliance on a single computer.

    Tony Robbins - Wealth you deserve

    Earl nightingale, zig ziglar, Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Les Brown. All these people I listened to over and over and over again (Les Brown my favourite). For years. The voices of all those people helped me through darkness. Then one day I deleted all my treasured recordings. The only way to...

    Trading Diaries

    I dont keep any notes once a trade has completed. There is absolutely no value in what I think about any particular trade with the benefit on hindsight. I am more interested in what I was thinking at the time when I was making a decision on incomplete data. I always look forward with scenarios...

    Trading Diaries

    I used to keep track of everything in an excel spreadsheet. Now all I do is take a screen shot of the chart with a few notes. Nice and simple.

    Let's run off all the worthwhile posters , asap

    Not responding to trollish behaviour comes down to personal discipline. Beyond that perhaps some sort of colour coded mark next to a users profile that defines each one of us as either reliable and courteous or disrespectful and constantly harassing. Sponsors of this forum are identified as...

    Let's run off all the worthwhile posters , asap

    @learner2007 the thing is how do you define a troll? The only way I see it happening is some kind of a voting system. The more votes against your name the worse for you. Then it becomes a self regulating system and a poster is protected from the one or two crybabies that cant take criticism. 1...

    Voice chat during the day?

    I hear you but you still have to remain somewhat reserved in an office environment when expressing your expletives ....people watching and all. Being at home, on the other hand, enables one to do a full on purge of rage. And then calmly go make a cup of tea.

    Voice chat during the day?

    I cant think of anything more irritating than having to maintain a relationship with someone whilst trading. I prefer interacting with the trading community on my own schedule and at my leisure and when I get bored of it I simply close the browser and shut the noise out. There is abundant...

    Is this seriously what trend traders do?

    Poor advice. Or were you just trying to say something catchy? No one starts off knowing how to trade so getting repeatedly stopped out on tight stops is an evolutuon everyone goes through. If you dont know what you are doing then ask questions, read a book, analyse your trades, and generally...

    Moving to ladder trading from position trading.

    How does this help determine direction...or anything for that matter? If you see a large sell order it means somone has just bought that large order and vice versa. Not arguing with you because you are clearly more knowledgeable than I am on this subject. I just dont understand the importance.

    I have lost over half of my net worth/life savings trading forex.

    As eloquent as your post is (I enjoyed reading it), it still is not clear what you find so bad about forex. Over-leveraging and bucket shops are not a problem for anyone with a bit of common sense. Waves and turbulence is the bread and butter of every trader. Im not in the market long enough...

    Haha @themickey deep down you really love this kinda stuff :D At least it allows the discerning ET fanatics a go at pretending to be: Outraged, sympathetic, spiritual guides, psychologists, technical advisory experts....you name it bro even the algo guys jumped on this one :rolleyes:

    I have lost over half of my net worth/life savings trading forex.

    Why? Aside from the usual over leveraging and bucket shop reasons, whats so bad with forex trading?

    Leave any thread long enough and youre bound to get a special representative from the dumb advice bureau offering advice along these lines: "having problems trading huh? Well there is a solution just for you! Learn to programme and then you can sit back and automate the whole process which...

    Forex discussion

    Thats actually a good question. I dont believe that its true but Im hoping someone with a deeper understanding can clarify why people get this impression. It might be similar to the US military where you have the tier two navy SEALs publicising their operations but the tier one Devgru, Delta...
