“TV,
That looks like a threat of some sort. I'd advise against making any more if you wish to retain your membership.”
-----------------------
If I wish to retain my membership? LOL – now that was funny! ROTF! Can you do that again? This time can you make it bark? You have no idea do you. It is ok – there would be no way for you to know anyway – not your fault. There are things related to the Forex that I just can’t tell you right now – in due time, however.
“These boards are not the place for childish posturing and petty squabbling. If you and another member wish to have some sort of duel then by all means do so, but not on t2w please”
-------------------------
So, I take it that this Forex board of yours is for serious trader talk and dialog – right? You know something, childish posturing and petty squabbling is as childish posturing and petty squabbling does. If you (as the moderator) cannot read my posts, see the substance and pay attention to the timeline of events as they occur in this linear dialectic online medium, then I feel sorry for you because you have an impossible job to do everyday.
I agree – there is a whole lot of childish posturing and petty squabbling going on in this “serious” Forex Forum, but its not coming (nor did it originate) with Tradevector. If you cannot see that – then shame on you.
When I approached this board there was nothing – I mean nothing going on even remotely related the actually making trades in the Forex. You refer to the implied “seriousness” of this Forex Forum – and that is exactly what I brought to this forum. My very first post on this forum was “serious” and more importantly is was dead-on specific to trading the Forex. I started by posting a thread on “Trading Accuracy” and proffered that this was one of the most (if not the most) critical element for the serious Trader. I then supported my claim with substance learned over the course of developing trading technology that uses no conventional and/or traditional TA.
Yet – inside this “serious” thread, the first childish post came – and it did not come from Tradevector. The second petty squabbling post came – and it did not come from Tradevector.
When I approached this board, I read very carefully MANY posts. I learned the writing style of several of the more “active” members. I learned a lot from how they write – the pros they use – the tone and demeanor of there posts. I knew before I made a single keystroke on this forum what I was getting into. I already knew that his was NOT a “serious” Forex Forum. I am not taken by surprise. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. So, I raised the bar slightly and began with asking “questions”, first. Questions that were designed to get people to THINK about “why” they were entering trades and “why” those trades were failing a high percentage of the time.
I’ve solved the problem of high percentage failures a long time ago. So, I did not need the answers to the question of “Trading Accuracy”. I did it to spark conversation but more importantly, to bring to light what I’ve learned over the years as the principle cause(s) of failed trades and low trading accuracy, and why trading accuracy is more important than trading consistency.
Go back and take a good look at the Titles of threads on your Forex Forum – then open some of those threads and actually read some of the content. Much of what’s on this section of your forum is not “serious” technical dialectic engagement. What you have here are a bunch of people (for the most part – there were some exceptional technical posts that I read) giving their opinion about what they think is useful. Nothing wrong with that – except that it lacks direction, focus, efficiency, purpose, and structure. Because of that, it does not lead to Trading Accuracy.
Is it the point of this Forex Forum to simply be a sounding board for opinion? Or, is the point of this “gathering” to bring about better trading success through the implementation of “applied knowledge” (which defines Technology)? If it is a school yard quad for childish posturing (a you so eloquently put it) then it is not a “serious” forum. Not that one cannot have fun while trading – trading is very fun to me. I cannot make 266% net revenues followed by 250%+ net revenues and fail to also have fun. So, certainly the place should be light hearted at times. However, if it is to be a “serious” forum, then the focus, content and core of the dialog should be cogent and relevant. Thus, my initial posts were made as they were – cogent, relevant and timely.
I posted the following parameter on 12/14/04 at 07:19pm:
Weekly Params: EURUSD
Week of: 12/12/04
Long Swing Target: $1.3433
Short Swing Target: $1.3196
Swing Trade Signal: Long
Entry Point: 12/10/04 (early)
Entry Price: $1.3229 (late)
Pips Expected: 204
Pips So Far: 75
The high for that trade was $1.3444. Exactly 11 pips off my initial target. Which was adjusted higher and then adjusted in real-time back down – both adjustments I posted on this forum.
The Swing Trade Signal clearly says Long an the Entry Price clearly says $1.3229. At the time of my post the current close price was at the $1.3290 level. $1.3433 minus $1.3290 = 143 pips.
I call that “serious” – yet, when I look throughout this Forex Forum – I see nothing even remotely resembling such a post prior to this. The detail, the specificity, the focus, the relevance nor the accuracy is seen in anything pre-dating this post regarding the Forex on this forum.
I then get crap from a bunch of wannabe Forex Traders simply for putting a parameter that was dead-on accurate on this forum, I then stand my ground, and you (moderator) now wish to single me out as being “threatening”. To the contrary, there is not one iota of “threat” in my post.
In the meantime, you have a Forex section in your forum that is going nowhere fast given the types of characters that you allow to run wild and free with anything other than how to make money in the Forex. I’m on the mirrored side of a Weekly Trajectory calculated by my system capturing more than 210 pips at better than 250% net gain, while you’ve got NOTHING going on inside this Forex box that even comes close to approaching that level of efficiency and all you can do is call me “threatening”.
Why does success threaten? That’s the question.
You have NO ONE in here providing this level of detail. And, this is the very best that you could come up with – “threatening”? Makes zero sense to me.
You have a very successful Forex board here. I see a lot of traders making posts that clearly demonstrate that they know what they are doing in the Forex. This is a very successful and a great location to learn how to generate consistent revenue in the Forex through the execution of highly accurate trades. You should be proud of what you have here. I would expect nothing less. In fact, I would be shocked and awed if you were not proud of this place.
