I apologize for getting in this e-brawl with Walander, I honestly know nothing about him, but at this point do not care to learn anything about him.

I am new to this forum. Does that make me new to trading?

Answer that for yourself.

I speak of faith and confidence... does that make me a fake?

I believe not. Because I do have faith and confidence in my self. I separate my and self. I do that for a reason.

In all honesty none of you know anything about me. To call me a kid is ridiculous. I am almost thirty years old. How old are you? Who cares? I don't. I've found that my niece and nephew at my age minus ten years are as smart as I am. This is not the kind of welcome I would expect from a community of people for simply trying to express my beliefs on a topic.

I am not the type of person that likes to get into bickering matches, and yet here I am. I have just recently started posting on this forum, but I have avidly read posts and tested new ideas for months now, I don't understand why my poking my head in deserves criticism like this.

I think it is wise to consider what other people have to say before you bash, slash, and completely deny it. I don't expect much lasting success for those who have no faith in themselves. In my line of belief, there is no way to succeed without faith in something. I believe (have faith) in my own ability to trade the currency market as much as I believe in the system that I use (developed and tested! on my own) that I will throw my real money down on it. If I lost it all, I really could give a yeah, because there's more where that came from. But that's not going to happen, because, as my friend here states in his profile, "I did my homework first."

I actually didn't have to do my homework first, as I traded the stock market for 7 years. These markets function generically the same. I could trade commodities, oil, gold, forex, stocks, whatever, and achieve the same results (I would just have to be more patient.)

I could screw the whole trading game and go with a slew of other ideas that would work just as well, but I genuinely enjoy my job. I don't plan on leaving it, because it provides opportunities to help people that I otherwise wouldn't have. That's all I'm about. I want to help people. If you're the kind of person that wants to converse with someone who wants to help you out of no self interest (and yes, there is no self interest here, I am not promoting anything, I am not trying to sell you anything, I am asking for nothing, anything I do here does not earn me anything) then by all means contact me.

In regards to Roulette, I actually played European and American Roulette. This was just for fun. If you're familiar with roulette, you will know that Russian Roulette involves a revolver loaded with one bullet, and American and European Roulette are table games that you play at casinos. It's the one where the wheel spins and the ball lands on black or red. That's a very simple way of explaining it, but it should do well for a simple mind. The only reason I mentioned it was in regards to the Martingale system the boy was talking about. I played Roulette martingale style. It is a table game. It is one of my favorite games to this day, and I will tell you that if you would like to hook up in Vegas I will rape the roulette tables using my system. But in the end it's all for fun. I enjoy having fun. Sue me.

But I cannot prove this, nor will I attempt to. I know what happened, and who cares.

Thank you
