GabsonFX:
Do NONE of that....do the model below and if you win, go for the challenge: Here is a simplified or actual model of their challenge.

Open a demo account of $1,000 with a 2000:1 or 1000:1 leverage with any broker.
See if you can double the capital, i.e, see if you can earn a $1,000 profit within 20 business days without your balance (notice I said balance not equity) dropping to $500 in any day & without you blowing the $1,000 capital at any time.

If you achieve this twice, then take the $181 and challenge them.

Thank you very much.

No, Gold na 'Evil Spirit'. If one can tame it, it definitely will reward one

Oya, list the other four ladies o, make we follow dey observe, also

See attached. I still dey study USTECH, she is even crazier than gold. Since @mayork2 introduced it in one of the contest months, I have subjected her to constant surveillance

GabsonFX:
[color=#000099]Yes bro, FTMO is the best and No. 1 of them all, I have tried others like the TCF, 5ers and have separately analyzed myforexfunds, Buoytrades, and the likes without trying them - I realized their schemes are to make you lose now or just in the very nearest future, any objections to this, I will reserve my views for another day.

My final advice to everyone here who wish to at least earn good (even for a living) in this business is to visit the FTMO site, choose a program, write out their goals, open a demo account for exact same program parameters but with a (different) broker, link the account to FF to monitor your progress, and see if you can meet their objectives in 2 or 3 tries (Do this instead of their provided trial).........if you meet them, then go ahead and challenge them[/color]

If I have a one-time $181, would you rather advice that I take FTMO or trade it myself when I'm ready to do live?

samfelly:
XAUUSD just dey Buy like mad man wey escape from Yaba Left. And I run check ForexFactory, I no see any special news for such waka. Abeg, who know wetin FF no know?

For me o, gold is so "all over the place" for me to place any order. I may leave her till the end of the month sef and look at the other four ladies on my list

GabsonFX:
Pay CA$85 (34,000 naira) monthly and you have access to US$12000 for each month you pay the fee. No challenge required. You get 60% of your profit made in the month.

This is what I previously mentioned that I want to analyze for you guys how to use small money to earn big. Instead of using placing all your 34k naira into live, this is what you should rather do

See the rules attached below.

May the universe continue to favour you Mr. Gabson!

Now this is beautiful.

Feshizzy:
Your trade explorer na only you dey see am because its private.
Try use another browser that you ain't login
login to and check.
If you can demo for over 6 months and you are in greens,
Then you are doing well.
Stick to your plans and success is yours for sure.

Oops , I didn't realize that @ bolded. After many failed attempts to make it public, I changed the explorer.

Making it public is not for show but for admonition(if necessary) as I keep reiterating I want to learn. So my risk and money managing is open to review to see how I can improve.

January is around the corner and I do not want to play behind demo but feel the real emotions the market can trigger. Only then can we move forward

samfelly:
I don take the liberty to create one, bros.

If una no like the settings there right now, I fit still change things inside - with the inputs from every interested one here.

Na only LIVE ACCOUNT I allowed to participate; just following @Gabsonfx view on seriousness (below)

[color=#770077]So NEWBIES this is it. You're allowed to join (ANYTIME). Be it Cent Account or the Minimum amount allowed by your Broker. Bottom line, Be Serious when you DECIDE to take your bull by its horn.

CC: MONEY247, Kaesyrn, KingPipmarshall, CopyJoe, charly20, Forexislife (could only mentioned those who signified interest, but if you are interested, kindly join)

I'm a serious as I can be. The account on my signature is a test for me to see how fast I would be able to blow my account.
I'm working towards my capital for live funding (I'm a very YOUNG student ). Since december will make it 12 months, I'll take the bull by the horns as e no good to dwell on demo for too long.

E for sha dey alright if we start the show by January, don't you think?

Feshizzy:
We could do it as a yearly challenge
After all, forex is a long term business

Both demo and live can participate,
But at year end, winners would be accorded to their categories.
The link to join would be at the front page.

It should not be too difficult,
Most traders here trade all the time, or learning to trade, thus the reason we are all here.
So let's challenge and motivate ourselves not competitive though.
Run your race as it suits best.

Then it is perfect!

Feshizzy:
You are very correct,
We are not required to prove anything to anyone,
But what's the general point of FTA the first place?
Our funding fathers made this place a version to showcase Nigeria talents.
Like i said, anything goes,
You could use live account l, you could use demo, you could use old accounts. Everything and anything goes, you could even have 90% DD it doesn't matter.
Just trade.

There's benefit to this though, here as become like a small haven for old and new members,
Creating a challenge would make here look more serious and organised. Many prospects can come out of it especially motivation to everyone.
Trade your style, let your trade speak

Anyway, it's still a suggestion,
Me sef no really dey like crowd, it just bring too many confusion.
But eventually, we would need to filter the serious ones in here at one point in time

It sounds good to me. Mr. Infofirst has said this may be the last contest he would organize for the season so something to keep us "jiggy" especially we newbies would be really appreciated. Demo or not, we would know who is serious in the end.

But how long would the challenge last? I'd really love for it to be longer than one month

Where did that red come from? Gold ah ah.

This lady is too aggressive o.
That manipulation was deeper than I imagined

Tony142:
I understand your comment, but even if they share their charts here, it is still the same things as the blind leading the blind, why?...because 95% of those who can see (profitable traders) are not here



Show me 5 profitable traders on this thread and I will show u 95 traders that are still struggling on this thread

If a chart is shared with reasons behind the markups, someone else who thinks he is more experienced would correct any mistakes made in the markup. If the chart markup is agreed by majority to be in order and the live market proves otherwise, we all learn why the markups failed by so doing the knowledge is passed. It is better than sitting in front of your screen for years trying to understand what actually happens on the live market.

Unless you are talking about banks and investors, I don't imagine how you conclude that "95% of those who can see are not here"

I won't take the bolded statement literally though.

Tony142:
If you want to learn faster go to mt4 and study your charts, why?...because profitable traders can be hardly found on Forex forum or thread



For this reasons I will drop a quote



"95% of profitable traders are not on Forex forum or thread because they are too busy enjoying the fruit of their labour with the little time they have, while 95% of traders found on forex forum or thread are struggling traders" - Tony,142

I think in your struggle to make a quote out of my opinion, you missed my point, Sir.

This week eh, broke a rule and paid the price in full.

But gold though, I have waited 2 weeks for 1760, next anticipated move 1860.

Let's see what next week has for us.
Learning is interesting!

charly20:
Not many of us as our numbers depict in the contest share our chart markups here even with the fact that we are all here to learn. It's understandable to assume a competitor may capitalize on your markups.

But that is no concern of mine as I seek knowledge from anyone who is a step or steps ahead of me.

Here's how I look upon the charts,

This is not among the five pairs I focus on but if I liked the idea of placing a trade on this, I would place my order as attached.

Tomorrow will be one hell of a volatile day. Only RM would save all active acccounts in tomorrow's business.

Still waiting for 154 on GJ though.

CopyJoe:
Missed out on this.

I doubt it.... The HUGE sell off is still looming, likely next month. IMO, I think it may not sell (macro perspective) until price balances at 1.20

GabsonFX:
My brother, my hobby is to teach, I've taught for years, still teaching, and will retire teaching. Another reason I came up with a youtube channel, not to gain followers or to earn youtube $cash, mba - he no fit reach me; in fact, I've spent thousands of dollars on all required pieces of recording equipment and have all been delivered but mhen - I'm damn too busy atleast for now. I've got requests on telegram to open a telegram channel which I had to decline cos I'm just too busy. However, I will continue to teach, not just fx, I venture into other different stuff outside fx and NL. It's a desirable pleasure. Nonetheless, let's venture into a new topic for this weekend as par your request - I will call it "what makes forex traders going round and round a circle"

Debate: Should I trade only on ONE TIMEFRAME and stick to it throughout my trading career, even in a case where no entry shows up on that particular TF but shows up on other TFs OR I should base my strategy on trading any TIMEFRAME AT ALL which depicts good entry at any given time, either M30, H1, H4, D1 whichever comes first then I can switch from one to another based on whichever TF I see my exact entry requirement?

FTA, Let's discuss, the floor is open: are you for the red or the green and why?

I stand with the reds. Trading just any time frame I believe keeps a trader confused as one may not truly understand the real direction of the market at a particular time.

But trading a single time frame setup (higher time frame) is easier in my opinion as the direction is understood and all that is required is to "catch a train" from a LTF(H4, H1 or M30) moving in the the direction of the HTF (IF the trader is interested in reducing his risk)

Anas09:
Lol, I'm not a Mr. I'm a miss.
And, sorry, about my sentiments. I thought I established the fact that i will be representing Christian God Yah from the outset?
Why I said that was because, the irreligious always lump all gods together in their assertions and make us seem as though we all worship the same thing. And the Op here, although, he mentioned religious gods, he was more direct about Jehovah the Christians God, so, yeah, I have those sentiments and I can't help it.

So sorry about that, but, your comment which made me quote you suggested that you didn't care religion.
Again, sorry.

Oh wow. Are you a Progressive Christian then? because, you said other gods give LIFE to their worshippers. With this, you are either saying these worshippers can get to Yah through their deities, not through Christ. Or, you believe that they are as many Creator Gods as they are religions.

Christians believe in one God and His name is YAH.
And, no other religion or god preaches love between their God and the worshippers. Love exists only in a relationship, and they don't have a relationship wirh their gods. Only Christians have a love relationship with their God. So when you said all religions preaches love for humans i was confused because that's not true.


No, you didnt say that, but you implied it. You talked about the Universe existing as though it just exists without a propelling hand behind it. You implied that the Universe had consciousness to be able to balance itself. So, yeah, I concluded you were affirming what Smartninker who is an atheist asserts.

Presenting scriptural stance in talking about matters bothering on faith is not being objective?
No sir. I am an unapologetic Christian, and I can't talk religion without Christ.
We may end the discus here. I'm good. Good night to you

It's okay now, MISS Anas09, I understand religion is a delicate topic to everyone religious or not.

It's not even easy to accept that what you think IS actually isn't.

Have a pleasant day!

Mr. Anas09,

I like that we are trying to engage in an intelligent argument but you seem to project your sentiments into the argument. You have unfortunately made a wrong conclusion that I'm atheist. Matter of fact, I'm as christian as they come but I can't make an objective argument if I'm sentimental.

Nowhere in all my previous arguments have I said there is no Creator.

I would continue the argument if we agree to be objective.

Have a good day!

Anas09:
Why will you get what you give to others, good or bad?
What is behind that?
That seems to be a law. Is it?
If yes, who or what set that law in motion? Chance? Why wld chance want to pay people for doing good or bad? What is the motive or purpose?

Why does there seems to be intelligence behind that, as there seem to be consequences for treating people badly.

Who is watching over this law to recompense those who adhere to it?

I believe that the universe exists in a dynamic state of balance. For every life taken, there is another born otherwise there would be "overpopulation or underpopulation" in the universe. I believe this is the "law of cause and effect". "For every action, there is equal and opposite reaction".

There is also the " law of compensation". "Which is what you sow is what you reap" . If this law does not exist, then I believe if I plant maize, I would reap rice or if I plant orange, I'll reap guava.

I believe there are several laws guiding the universe.
God has created an ecosystem and every ecosystem is self sustaining otherwise it dies off eventually.

[quote author=Anas09 post=104251979][/quote]I don't think it would be correct to say that "the person who defined love as "Affectionate, benevolent concern or care for other people or beings, and for their well-being. " does not know what love is because he has defined love from a single perspective and not recognizing that there may be two types of love as you have pointed.

I try to maintain the argument away from favouring any religion but you ask "what have the other gods from other cultures given to express their love to those that worship them?" and my answer is LIFE... What has any mortal done to deserve life? As you have also said that love is undeserving.

Christians believe God gave Christ to redeem them and give them "eternal life" which is just about the same thing I have said that all cultures believe in the existence of a supreme being and HE has given ALL LIFE.

Anas09:
What is Love? If you cannot define love, you can never know how to love another human.
So, let's begin with love.

What do you mean by what you sow is what you will reap?

My dictionary defines love as
[i]"Affectionate, benevolent concern or care for other people or beings, and for their well-being."
[/i]
To which I have no definition of my own to add.

If you treat others right, you sure will be treated right.
If you treat others wrongly, you can't expect to be treated right.

I want to keep it as simple as this.

Feshizzy:
Exactly my point,
The contest is solely for scalpers and day traders.
1 month is not enough to test the truth potential of a trader or strategy.

The fact that all trading styles are not the same is why I don't have a problem with the contest. If your style let's you trade profitably within the month, by all means trade If not, let it pass. The point remains to forge disciplined traders and I believe Mr. Infofirst will achieve his dream.

But the rules can never suit everyone and it's something I accept as a new swing trader.

I see what USDCAD is doing ATM and I'm waiting for her. I'll enter a short term long at .2355 to TP at . 2670 which should be about 300 pips worth of trade. The sell limit remains valid.

Given that I may long USDCAD, I may be monitoring my EURUSD to get off most preferably at .19500 to re-enter at a cheaper price probably at .18180, .20950 remains the swing target.

It's a story and I listen to the storyteller to understand the plot.

CopyJoe:
I stopped trading the contest account. It's messing big time with my psychology.

After this demo trading,

I'll join the contest again.

I think I understand the bolded.... We are swing traders trying to compete with day traders and scalpers. Of course it messes with the psychology because a normal swing setup takes days or weeks to complete but in the contest, that rush for competition may not let us stay focused to see the setup completed and we become "trigger happy" most especially for us inexperienced swingers.

With better experience, we would be able to manage the contest.

charly20:
EU is up and running at 57 pips at the time of putting down this report.... USDCAD is still pending.

That's it for the day!

Update!

I have my EURUSD currently at 80+ pips, I shall add new positions at .18180

My target still remains . 20900

CopyJoe:
AU finally joined the party.

I am still waiting for EJ.

320+ pips at the moment on all trades.

EJ just joined.

380+ pips.

I admire your style and I've also decided to walk the same path with the same demo account size and myfxbook to keep track.

Good luck!

charly20:
I have my sell limit for USDCAD at 1.2672 SL =1.27310 EURUSD Buy Limit at1.17900 SL =1.17650



My TPs are open but mentally at the 50% of the new monthly demand price for my USDCAD and for EU at .2095

EU is up and running at 57 pips at the time of putting down this report.... USDCAD is still pending.

That's it for the day!

Forexislife:
well, whatever you think, it all boils down to being consistent with a proven system. Manipulation or price action. Doesn't matter. That's my opinion.

I couldn't agree more.

Forexislife:
price action and manipulation are intertwined. Ying yang

I believe manipulation uses price action as a cover.... It's where we see fakeouts or "stop hunts".

It's an institutional thing as I have read so far.

Forexislife:
So like I said last week, lots of buyers SL and sell stop orders will be under the zone at the grey area. I am bullish bias on gold so the next two hrs candle will determine if I will trade today or fold my hands and wait for tomorrow.

Manipulation or price action.

It's always manipulation
