Yeah I can witness that, I was in Turkey just a year after that... Kept all my cash in US$ then, and exchanged it as needed.

It's a good question, and it's an easy thing to say in hindsight. The truth is, at the time nobody knew what was going to happen in Germany. People were belied from top to bottom, and in the confidence that this was the safest place in the world. They knew nothing about the holocaust to come...

Hey Diode, Ouch! Embarrassing, but you're right. I really must have gotten the hyperinflation part mixed up a bit. Admitted, I haven't yet studied my family history enough, and worse even, history altogether was my worst subject at school - I hated it. Today, I'm interested in History and I...

Hey Jayford, nice setup! No, I didn't actually trade GBP at all for a while, currently have my hands full with EUR, AUD and ES, I'm backtesting some new advanced system theories and it takes time to complete that first (always longer than I'd like it to). However, would have been nice...

I got the hell outta this trade @7.25, -1.75. It was a cheap one to find out, no point trying to take home a short on a parabolic move like this one. We have a pretty big "gap" to fill on the daily towards 1125, so I'm staying flat now. Should've stayed long with the trend all along, but too...

Sorry if my post offended you. I sincerely did mean to be helpful, not offensive. Cheers!

LOL Trend Fader, getting all trollish again? What's the matter? Had a losing day? Bird ran away? Ego? I don't understand. Nobody here even knows my name, I think you've lived in cyberspace a bit too long... Ah well... :D 1) You're wrong on the first one already. I've deliberately...

Hey jrs3, I don't mean to be rude, but I like to be honest: The chart is a pain in a chartist's eye. You don't even know how to draw trendlines / channels! You have used lines and just planted them the way they fit the best to the bodies of the candles - that's a total no-no. It's not the...

Short ES swing short here at 1105.50. Just closed ES long from 1092 level this morning. And EUR short from yesterday ended up a good +90. Now long EUR, but with little confidence. Made over 100+ on additional AUD short over last few days, and my AUD short position of a lifetime has gained...

Hey Funster, My family lived in Germany during that time, and until the late 90's. I am still half-German and I've grown up and been schooled there. So I've gotten a good bit on the German history. My family during that time, spell great-grandparentsn were very very wealthy... To make...

Stop leeching. It's a 2-week free trial. Test it yourself, then open a thread and tell us what you think. Now that's value.

:p :D

Hey Baruch! Very decent EUR short today according to your system parameters. Should be up close to 200 ticks... That's the same as 50 pts on ES! Hope you went short? :mad::cool::):p:D

Hey manz66, calling trades beforehand, are you kidding??? I have posted a myriad of trades beforehand on this very thread, on several currencies, and even ES, with super hit rates and great rewards, perhaps you'd bother reading. I'm sure Jayford or Baruch remember... I've posted a few...

I had a few ins & outs to boost meantime performance a little, and closed the entire position just minutes before close yesterday. Very decent profits. We have hit a hard trendline resistance here, which has been tested several times and day in a row, so I'm no longer interested in staying...

LOL! Just because they look at charts doesn't mean they trade like me! Give me a break man! That's like saying I am under the sea when scuba diving, so I'm automatically related to the hammerhead shark, jellyfish, and deep sea angler fish. You try to combine your technical plays with a...

Yes, that's a very valid argument. In the case of entering retracements (particularly the first) I totally agree on that. It's a lot less risky than trying to pick bottoms / tops, and it's got a very high R:R. I think I've posted something similar somewhere on this thread already. Excellent...

AAAAAHHH! NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE!!! :D OK, so you CAN'T backtest news trading. But you've backtested your system before you traded it, right? And did it work well without news? I assume it did, otherwise you wouldn't be trading it. So why not trade it without news? Have you verified...

Hey Kev, thanks for the comments and recommendation, I might look into it. Yes, I commend Baruch for bringing his system forward, but he isn't trading it. He gets tangled up in trying to play news-wizard. It's good that he is successful right now. But please don't forget that with the...

You say 95% of all traders trade like me? R-O-F-L! More like the other way round for you Baruch. You really haven't learnt as much as you think.
