  3. Just received this PM trying to sell me an indicator. :D

    Hi I'm from Russia , I have a proposition for you. I have a very profitable indicator, any timeframe, expire at one candle, it is very convenient, it is not present on this forum, if you want to buy it, write, then I activate it

    The indicator gives 90% profitable signals consistently

    I do 40% for 1 day. Only costs 400$ to this forum . On eBay I sell it for$3000

    Trade in my indicator I will help at any time. Contact: mak******45654@gmail.com

    I guarantee you that you will be very satisfied ..

  5. Can u buy it on ET for $400 and then sell it at a discount on eBay for $2500? I sense an arbitrage situation.

    Now this is exactly what a trader would do :fistbump:


    Another benefit of this thread - gets one thinking - out of the norm (would have used box..., but then sometimes it beneficial to think inside it.., as well as outside :) )

    Since I'm rather new to this forum, I just made it to page 45. I'm so curious about what everyone was saying and what is nyse's response.
    400 plus pages to go.

    I received the same PM. Who the hell is this dude? Had he read any of my posts, he would know that I don't use silly indicators. Duh!

    This thread has now become a perfect illustration of why the "obvious" keep remaining "not so obvious". By spending the time to read this thread from cover to cover, it should become very obvious!

    I'll attempt to be short: People have different goals, experiences, skills, and most importantly: different levels of awareness. So what is obvious to one, may be totally obscured for most, until made aware of each and every single idea - either by second-hand lecture and/or own direct experience.

    Historic records show us time and time again, that many people remain trapped in their comfortable assumptions and belief-systems, often entire lifetimes! This, compared to some people who do not. Breaking out of the mold, they may find various degrees of success and failures due to it.

    Society however, rarely acknowledges and rewards such "special" people. Instead seeking to control new ideas that might threaten any status quo. People that agree with the current assumptions, who never raise uncomfortable questions and dilligently keep in line, are rewarded, by not being punished or ridiculed. Indeed, they serve to keep society stable, so are quite valuable workhorses.

    As a society, we tend to glorify and deify geniouses, all the while also persecuting and suppressing us.

    It's as with everything else really interesting in life: chaotic systems seeking equilibrium
