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.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.
"She's Out of Your League"
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.

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:

poker vs forex?

At least if you trade forex through the CME Globex, it is like gambling at a state-licensed casino. The Internet bucket shops are more like a street-corner dice game in the ghetto.

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:
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Exactly, there's risks in everything. Don't want to take risk? Then you have no chance of a big reward.MetalFortress 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.

You have to follow a system to the letter..Only buy and sell when all the indicators are going with you. You need to practice this out for awhile before you are 'game ready'.

If there was a simple system there would be software that could do it for you. Lol...someone is getting rich off of Forex, but it isn't/won't be you. Sorry, but just the truth.
Metal,
I just hope to make it to 65! Seeing that I have set up shop in a country where most men don't reach 60 I am glad to see the vote of confidence you have given me. Thanks, bud.

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:
Guys try VT trader it allows you to make trades right on the chart and is very easy to use.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
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.
