Look, if you are totally selfless as you say and are not looking to charge anyone money (even those who 'contact' you) then go about your business and have fun here. No need to argue with people. Someone with no ulterior motive has nothing to worry about.
Look...I didn't start the criticisms here but I am not afraid to call out people with likely ulterior motives and posing as "self-less critics" pretending to just be exposing the truth as I was quick to be questioned and called a Gurus, fakes; etc. I am not stupid as I have witnessed this on a smaller trading forum and I do realize that having a presence here can take away someones paycheck or just there ego ...either way I shouldn't have this much criticism unless someone has something to keep to themselves. Share the wealth folks. Lots to go around. The big money in FX is not the crap you can hoodwink from newbies but from the trades themselves. If we can help each other make more money then great...that is all I am really here for...really! Even I were manage money for someone who contact me; then I am still helping...right?
I am just someone who has had a good run forecasting and wishing I had more people witness the calls in real time. Over the past three years or so ; I have had some good realizations in my understanding of the market that have given me more confidence than I have ever had in my career. Bottom line...I still very human and open to mistakes just like anyone here. I spontaneously decided to start posting here last night and have been blown away at the criticisms. I expected some but I have been overloaded with nothing but criticisms. When I noticed the rapid number of views on my humble little thread; it makes sense that people would be defending this place as the traffic here is crazy huge....nearly 3000 hits in just 24hours....not to mention that this thread has been at the top of the list today...Crazy! But it confirms my suspicions that there are people defending their turf. Don't worry...I will give you plenty of forecasts to criticize....LOL!....It won't matter if they are good as I have already been told that even a 90% success rate here is garbage...LOL!
FXWave, you cannot seriously believe that your reception here has been biased due to a turf-war for spamming. I realize you need to defend yourself, but it's an insult to anyone with an IQ over 60 to suggest it. I post a lot of real-time trades on this board, all over the forums. I don't do it out of a sense of altruism. Perhaps it has a small impact on microstructure or the vol-line on an options-trade if someone of size considers the source (lol) and trades with me. It certainly can't hurt. Case-in-point... the one significant HF manager that I know who frequents this site (>$1B AUM) actually PMed me after taking a vol-trade I had posted. He moved the vol-line 600bp in my favor in less than 3 hours. So there can be a tangible benefit to posting calls. If you think you're going to make any cash from ET members via OPM then I suggest a better use of your time.
All you got...getting tired? running out of things to say? I have nothing to hide... I know you want the last word but ya gotta do better than that...
Is that all I got??? What else would I need??? What's wrong with you dude??? This thread is a cartoon!
Atticus, You appear credible. But, I don't really know. I have been hacked and I have had friends hacked that have competed on other trading chat rooms sites as they became competition to other people trying to promote there product or service. Where there is money to made; people lie, cheat and steal...it's just life! Why should this place be any different? I was naive to the phenomenon for many years before I caught on. Went through multiple computers before I realized it.
We should move on to something of substance then , if you know anything at all you know that the EUR/USD is in play as a common HF trade currently. At the moment it's drifting down. Not much on the docket for EU news tom, some US news that may affect the dollar. Have any prognostications re: that pair? Any chartwork you can show us to help us out? Any recent convos with Trichet or Merkle? Anything , give us a crumb, a hope.
I don't care whether you deem me credible or not. If you're suggesting I run multiple nicks or hack accounts then you're a loon. You're digging yourself a deeper hole by clinging to this conspiracy theory. You get one shot at making a first impression, so I would recommend you trade this nick for a fresh one. Best trade you'll make today. The signal to noise is shit, but there are some serious traders on this site. I suggest you read more and post less. FWIW, I am done on this thread.
