Master Don Juan
XAU/USD: 2000 units of gold closed for 520 pips. That was 10,000 dollars, since it was a bigger investment than the rest. CHF/USD hit the stop-loss and bailed with about 10 pips worth of profit.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Have you ever had a -330 pip loss?????TheNewGuy said:Wowwwwww. I just lost half my money with XAG/USD.
People, make sure you research your stuff before you go into a market not knowing that 1,000 units can lose you $450.
Time to start over =/
At some points it was -2450.SELF-MASTERY said:Have you ever had a -330 pip loss?????
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Please explain further. Its nice to be pessimistic, and quote big names. Are you an investor or are you doing the same things as Graham?sparky0000 said:Doesn't surprise me that "Don Juan" types would be falling for this. Is FX a scam? No, not really...BUT you have about as much a chance hitting it big in FX as you do playing craps. Wealth accumulation should be viewed as a long term process. Benjamin Graham is a name that you should get to know.
While smart investors will retire rich, you'll be working until 65 relying on social security. I suggest you learn about investing before you speak.sparky0000 said:Doesn't surprise me that "Don Juan" types would be falling for this. Is FX a scam?

My boss makes an additional $800 a week playing craps, two days out of the week for like 4 hours a day.sparky0000 said:Doesn't surprise me that "Don Juan" types would be falling for this.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Just sayin...
Exactly, there's risks in everything. Don't want to take risk? Then you have no chance of a big reward.MetalFortress said:While smart investors will retire rich, you'll be working until 65 relying on social security. I suggest you learn about investing before you speak.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
I think most of us won't make money in forex, but it is nice to learn something new. I was taught never to play in any -gambling-type- game if you do not know what your edge is, and in forex I haven't figured out what my edge is; I doubt 95% of the people that trade currency know what their edge is...Permission said:If you guys think you can make money on this, what sets you apart from all the other people who are trying to make money on this? Most people lose money on this, and the expected value is actually zero.
Why? Opening a demo account has no negative effects...g g g unit said:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5250250.stm
this looks like important news for any forex traders but i aint putting money on it personally cos im too much of a noob and im gonna wait at least six months before i even consider opening a demo account.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
