This everybody knows. And its a beautiful thing. The Forex will live forever.
All the more reason for the question, "with all of that going for the Forex (the 4T/day bla bla etc.,) why is ET's Forex forum a fckin graveyard, boring, boring, boring?"
Go read the thread that is now bumped topside ...

Do you honestly believe any of these shysters has a clue of what an Edge is?
Look at TradeViper's post on the subject - THAT's an edge? An edge is THAT MUCH TO EXPLAIN AND SOOOO MANY POINTS?
If this was a bar I'd have the lot of you in a choke hold while I tore rubber, and not even come once.
What a fckin sham!
Wake up, Saint, you're a good man but are soooo fckin busy trying to be saintly and nice guy you're missing the fact that the Forex Forum has been half submerged for months and months and that the band still keeps playing on not even aware that an approaching Rogue wave will poy-manently put 'em out of their misery.
goodday to you, Saint.![]()

deadbroke,
ET was started in May of 1997. It was here long before you or I deadbroke. It has become a repository of the best archived articles in the history of trading in my opinion. There is not any reason why Forex could not be a part of the most excellent trading articles to read, peruse and ponder over. As I grow older the written word becomes so much more important and I have entertained myself for hours reading old posts by some really great people here.
The Sub Forums here were not built in a day. ET has come a long way since it's inception. There have been few changes made over the years and ET has become quite a mainstay for traders that matter.
Surely in your vision for ET deadbroke you can understand that it takes time to develop sub forums. I appreciate your candor and I hope that as you exercises patience in the quest to find the entertainment you are looking for or to create somewhere in ET. Sometimes people find entertainment in the "Lord of the Fly" moments and it is just human nature to run with the gang...
The approaching black swan event that you post about and your repeated attempts to make this personal...are just simply non-issues at the moment. But deadbroke Thank-You for posting in this feedback section. I can moderate any forum here, but I prefer Forex, Psychology and Eurex...(You did not mention the death of the Eurex sub-forum here deadbroke..but it remains and it is still a good read with many good threads)
Anyways...I wish you equally the best deadbroke... as your hopes, wishes and aspirations for ET are communicated. ET has been around longer than you or I deadbroke and I hope it remains longer than myself. The archive here has my posts for all to read after I am dead and gone. deadbroke I hope you consider the importance of your posts that are archived here for all to read for now and in the future.
Traders. Make ET all it can be. Trade wisely and profitably. Communicate here with other traders and use ET for all it can produce. If some of you think that Forex brings the wrong element to ET, well I cannot change that. You have a right to your own opinions and really my purpose is not to "change" anybody. I do not agree that Forex could possibly produce anonymous characters worse than what ET see's today or in the past. We have a great moderation team here and guests please trust us. There is not any spam on this Forum and there will not be in the future.

Quote from marketsurfer:
Everyone is missing the fact that the FOREX forums are like incense to the malcontents, perpetual losers and troubled trolls of the trading world. IT IS WHAT BRINGS THEM TO ELITE TRADER.
Once here, they spread their poison to other threads.
We must nip this cancer in the bud by eliminating the FOREX FORUMS. If it has the word FOREX in it , it is poison to the entire elite system. Most will not understand, but careful observation proves this point again and again.
A stand must be taken, a test done by removing FOREX forums for 6 months and the truth will be self evident.

"An edge is THAT MUCH TO EXPLAIN AND SOOOO MANY POINTS?"
And it is an edge, its profitable, I sleep well at night, and I rotate through the different market changes by adjusting time frames and styles. It is very low stress and gives me the freedom and funds to pursue other endeavors.
I am quite satisfied
