LordF, I follow him because he is good. I can refer others to his thread to watch his forecasts. He is a vendor, but with a proven track record. When you have posted your trades, I have tracked them with interest. As a metaphor, here in the US, my favorite baseball team is the San Francisco Giants, but I listen to all the teams, because I am a baseball fan. I read and track other's trading, because I am a fan of forex. It's my job and my hobby. It's a priviledge to speak favorable of someone who can back it up.
As you know, I never trade other's forecasts. I'm not fazed by others', but they are fun to follow.
I can also tell you give a lot of thought to your comments, which IMO, qualifies them as constructive. Many on this site just spout off with empty rhetoric. This is also why I have followed many of your comments with interest.
I'll add an honest twist to my renown and to what you have made mention of a lot. For quite awhile, my forecasts weer spot on. I called several reversals or corrections within just a few pips. My trading did not keep up, even though it was still highly profitable. Lately, my forecasting has not been that good. Missing reversals by a full leg is not good. Thankfully, my trading has upstaged (My personal world.) my bad forecasting. My winning trend has continued, in spite of some not-so-good forecasting. You hear it all the time-- there is a mental discipline associated with trading. If the trader can't keep his head in the game, then don't trade. That is part of the objective view I have to take about myself, when the forecasting does not measure up, then I have to back off a little and just wait. Even those times, trading is still profitable, and that is why trading is an individual thing.
WT, I didn't mean to impose upon your thread with my rambling sideshow. Just another vaild question by LordF that was worthy of an answer.
