    Your post harkens me back to my youth - we had geese - I recall how they like to squawk..., shit all over the place - and thump their chest in an effort to bluff

    I post two innocuous sentences - the geese come flocking

    ===============

    Just goes to show - takes one to know another.., and the geese (LOL)


    Trade well my brother - and as we both fully appreciate - to hell with the results

    :) ;)

    We can not say any fix reason is their in loss of most of the traders , Some factors take part in their failure as lack of knowledge, less trading experience or practice , weak in market analysis and emotional trading attempts, If some one is able to overcome these problems he can certainly improve trading results.

  8. I considered that as well, even though we don't know for sure? I guess that ends that!

    Multiply 1.15 million by .98, then again by .98, then again by .98 and then again by .98 etc etc etc. Tell me how long it would (or how many trades) it would take to get down to 150,000, You'll see that the thread is a wind-up
