@expiated I am learning a lot from you. Thanks for being here. I hope you teach me your strategy soon. I just like it. If we can combine your strategy and mine, I think that would be perfect. What do you think,
@expiated?
I was attracted to this thread partly because it said you make $$$ each week. You also typed that you have several good strategies, and that you would use your sharing of signals as an opportunity to interact with members who trade currencies in the foreign exchange market.
So then, since I trade currencies in the foreign exchange market, and given that I find trading JUST to make money kind of boring, the interaction aspect you mentioned was the second thing that interested me.
For example, I don't trade CHFJPY, so when you mentioned it, it was kind of fun for me to take a look at it, consider your analysis, and then compare your interpretation with my own—especially since it led me to execute a couple of trades that netted me a pocketful of change, trades that would otherwise have been completely off my radar screen. My hope is that the benefit of such interactions is a two-way street. But, that’s about as far as it goes for me.
The reason I'm happy to share my impressions, but not to share my system, has to do with something maxinger typed above—that once one acquires what it took years to attain, what that individual knows becomes priceless. If true, then rather than ask others to pay me hundreds or even thousands of dollars for access to that information, I should be able to take what I know, go off on my own, and generate however much money I want for myself.
Accordingly, I'm presently at day 21 of a 220-day quest (to end on December 10, 2021) to parlay what I've learned into a tangible and not so insignificant sum of money by the end of this year. But even so, revealing my system on a public forum for free would, in my eyes, be to fail to recognize its value in a most egregious manner. And as for combining strategies, I’m sort of in the same camp as Al Brooks…
"Occasionally traders will tell me that they have a great setup and want to discuss it with me. I invariably…tell them that I am not interested. They immediately perceive me as… close-minded… Why do I no longer read books or articles about trading, or talk to other traders about their ideas? …I am confident that I will make far more money perfecting what I already know than trying to incorporate [other] approaches into my trading.
"…If James Galway offered a beautiful flute to Yo-Yo Ma and insisted that Ma start learning to play the flute because Galway makes so much money by playing his flute, should Ma accept the offer? Clearly not. Ma should continue to play the cello and by doing so he will make far more money than if he also started playing the flute. …[My system] is the only instrument that I want to play, and I strongly believe that I will make far more money by mastering it than by incorporating ideas from other successful traders."
But even though combining strategies is completely out of the question, I'm happy to continue sharing ideas about various currency pairs and/or trade opportunities, if you're still open to it!!!
