@Master_Kiwa

Greetings my friend. Long time no see, I started to miss you.

I'm glad to see you are still doing great on 'Custom start date', it makes your accounts look great.

Regards ;)

49 pages and counting, don't tell me this group has nothing to say....

Actually I have a heads up for anyone using Go Daddy for hosting, they have changed their programs and have not told anyone that they are using different and inferior support products, they have taken to lying to customers about their service and technical problems. Looks like Go Daddy has changed to Go somewhere else.

Old news by now but FXDD has quit the business (at least for US traders).

The saga of US government interference in financial business matters have taken another victim. FXDD was labeled a bucket shop but I have done business with them for years, even back when they were still independent. Dealing desk and unregulated was indeed the definition of a bucket shop but FXDD was different, they took care of their customers. They could have used those stop loss hunter programs that others had used but they didn't. They held out from coming under the thumb of the US regulators, (the enforcement division of the American banking industry) far longer than any other brokers, and more than a year after the mandatory genuflect to the master race. Fair well friends.

If you haven't checked out the new thread at
 
https://www.myfxbook.com/community/new-traders/traders-give-birth-new-idea/755228,1

What are you waiting for? There is a new idea that can benefit every human on the planet. No seriously, it really could. But like any infant the idea could die in it's cradle taking all those limitless benefits with it without a little help to get it started.
If we are indeed one human race, we need to start working together or we will begin to pull ourselves apart. (I mean more than we already are). What would it hurt? Come to the thread and post your support. Thanks

If you seek money from forex, you'll gamble in each trade.
If you enjoying trading, you'll not gamble in each trade.

There are two things to aim at in trading.
First, to get what you want.
Second, to enjoy it.

Well I have something called 'salary', never was interested in withdrawals.

How exactly do you withdraw I am i terested to learn. The reality your accounts are in loss, only with custom start date you make them look like they are in profit. Some people here are stupid to notice, but not the broker.

Last time I checked Gambling is definded as A RISK TAKEN FOR THE HOPES OF OBTAINING PROFIT...... So that would suggest if you use 1% or 100% of your equity you are gambling...

No, I do it for the money. Of course 'I' don't really trade anymore, that's the computers job. I fish, ride horses and do my research. So I enjoy what I do and let the computer handle the dirty work but, I do it for the money.

A trader can be an economist but an economist could never be a trader. They are too theoretical.

My wife managed a mid sized store where new cashiers thought they new something and a small group called off sick so they could go to the lake. One of them posted info on face book that showed them at the lake instead of being at work or sick at home.

So now they are unemployed.

A friendly word of warning, there are a number of young and not too well educated newbies that want to make a name for themselves so they can feel like they are important or something so they get on here and talk trash about only showing demo accounts. Especially if you live in the US but other countries also will raid your wallet if they find something to raid.

Don't be a fool, keep your mouth shut and your live accounts to yourself. The reason they make demo accounts is to try new things, I do that also, and to show something to someone else that may well turn out be an agent. Now if you are new and don't have much in your account then chances are showing a live account won't be interesting but showing live accounts here or on any other forum is like sending a post-it note to the IRS.

Don't let these idiots taunt you into doing what your brain says don't. They got nothing to lose, you do. Just ignore them and maybe they will go away or at least grow up.

Good trading all,
Bob

Complete Ignorance!!

Bob is a US citizen. His original successful EA can no longer be used on a US account. (if you can't figure out why you really need to STFU and go away and learn more before you run off at the mouth)

Bob is now in the process of developing a variation of that system that can again be used on a US account. It's still a work in progress. And a pretty good one to.

What exactly would you have him put live at the moment genius?

Sorry if that may be a bit harsh but had to be said.

Oh by the way. Gday Bob!!
You can't spend open trades.
