i think he is suffering from illusions of grandur and think people are stalking his thread in order to fade the setups..not that anyone would care as its not exactly the most ingenious of setups even if it does work..

 

[cr6196]

I think TD was saying that other (bigger) traders will be monitoring it and will be taking the opposite side of your trades (hence, not your best interests at heart) - knowing roughly what your stop losses will be they will aim to high and low tick you, forcing you to pay up and then profit themselves.

Welcome to the exploitation game that is trading. It's the reason that hedge fund managers don't tell you their position at the time. They'll tell you they're short on TV just as they are about to unwind their positions and get long.

They don`t tell cos they don`t know which way the news is gonna go

All that is going on at the moment is that the US govt are stepping in when ws looks like its ready to tank. Most afternoons in the US session now. obviously this is affecting everything else. Just my conspiracy theory anyway. I doubt we even appear as a blip on the radar screen.

really surprised that the PotSet thread has been closed. I found it informative, had a good following, and gave an interesting alternative read on the market. on occasion, made me pull a couple of my own trades on clear pins.

Genics: are you saying the set-ups were less than optimal? :cheesy:
(curious about your "even if it does work" remark.)

Here's my theory - TD has finally realised that the real money in this business is either being a broker or a trainer. I suspect he's now going to start enrolling students into his "private coaching" for a modest fee ))

Fantastic. So central banks wanting to adjust currencies for domestic policy, and banks that need to buy and sell for clients, and hedge funds that are building long term positions in different markets are checking the potential setups thread for pin bars to take out a few £10 per pointers or whatever. Haha, just too funny

If they are monitoring maybe its just to get into the head of joe public trader

Caught them red handed

Just when it was getting interesting.
Mind you I discovered the thread only two days back.
I guess the history is still there so DYOR

What will we do without the Gospel of Messiah Dante?

He's being gay and closing threads instead of telling us who's out to get us incase he gets battered by some trader gang or something.

What the hell will we use T2W for now that potential set ups is gone? Arguing semantics?

 

[Technically Fundamental]

He can't be ar5ed anymore.

Omg, I cudn't imagine these things can happen aswell. Glad that I come to know, a good lesson. Now what TD will not post here or what? I had only just started to post in that thread and got ****ing closed.

I guess you will have to subscribe to a signal service?

What if the brokers like IG (sponsor) are changing their software to widen the spread from the underlying at pin bars etc. Nobody is talking about the actual market.
