in my normally infamous "dutch uncle" role, allow me to say the above is the most juvenile, misinterpreted and just plain incorrect statement Ive heard today, although I must admit the day is young -- you may be saved !

WHAT is wrong with you people ???

ah, never the mind --- a lack of experience in the forex market makes one THINK it deals in odds or probabilities, but there are simply NO odds in forex -- its a relatively simple, trend driven trading vehicle whose movements are apparent to anyone who has actually spent some time on LEARNING it, and not using some silly EA because of lack of knowledge !

Maybe Im not angry at YOU in particular, but at the idea and concept that one can walk into a massive industry, with no knowledge of culture or methodology and walk away with a fortune, or if they lose (which they will ALWAYS do with that attitude), they then talk about the crooked brokers, the ODDS, the PROBABILITIES and a lot of hokum and hocus - pocus !

People, youre talking about what i do for a living as well as handling others accounts, and youre talking drivel !

Aside from my desire to try and teach rookies how to survive which keeps me coming back to these threads, when hearing this BS I get pretty tired of trying to show how the market works, so go on with the junk, amuse each other with silly conversation, and never bother to learn how forex works --- fine with me cause I'll be on the other side of your trade, enjoying your losses !

enjoy and trade well
