So much cr@p...

[FX Bandit]

There's so much cr@p on this site, it makes my balls ache.

Seriously, look at some of the threads on here, some of the ones generating so much attention. Are they serious?

I don't think there's one born every minute - there's loads more than that. There must be to sustain so much.

Do you remember the old quote from Wall Street? "A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place".

You got that right, Gordon.

You're not wrong... There is alot of crap on this forum.

I am not agreeing with where you're aiming your post though... This is a forum, a place to share idea's and express opinions.

Only problem is, people can't do that here. Anything posted that doesn't conform to the 'norm' is likely to be shot down in flames for no real good reason.

There would be a lot less crap if people didn't spend their time here berating others.

Hmmm, it's usually pictures of Jessica Alba that have that effect on me, but if reading t2w does it for you, that's just fine.

Anyone care to post a picture of Miss Alba looking sultry .. I'm a luddite, I have no idea how to do such things.

Look, don't get me wrong, it's not just this site where the cr@p is sitting piled up in heaps. I've got nothing against this site.

Take candles for example. I use candles. I love candles. To me, that is better than Jessica Alba, whoever she is.

Now, everyone knows Steve Nison, the guy who introduced candles to the West (as he never tires of telling everyone).

Take this quote from one of his books:

"The greatest advantage to using candles on your charts, instead of bars, is that single candle lines and multiple candle patterns offer more reliable,earlier, and more effective reversal signals."

WTF? Can anyone, anyone at all, tell me what a candle can tell you that a bar can't? Is a candle anymore than a bar with the body filled in?

Yet does anyone call him out on this? Does anyone say "Hey Steve, thanks for candles, you know I like the way they look on my chart, nicer than bars, easier to see maybe. But you know what Steve, your claim about them being better than bars is cr@p man. How can you say that cr@p?"?

No they do not. So much cr@p.

How's this? Still don't know who the f*** she is.

Bloody hell

Bloody hell

It's just a woman in a bikini, take it easy.

Ayway, this thread isn't about her. It's about how much cr@p there is floating around.

Listen, Mean, let me help you out, tell you something that isn't cr@p, something you can use. If you want to post a picture, first get it up in a new window. Then copy the URL.

Then go to the "Reply" thing on this site. You see at the top of the bit where you write sh1t? Little icons, a globe, then something with a red cross on it? Not the next one, the one after that. You click on that, it brings up a little box. You post the URL from earlier, click OK, click post, you done.

But don't go filling up this thread with pictures of this woman. I told you, this thread is for cr@p. Start a new thread for pictures if you want.

To paraphrase the Monkees - "and then I saw her ****, now I'm a believer"

Bandit, don't get angry. I completely concur that the amount of sh1t on t2w has ballooned, but it comes in cycles. This chap 4xpipcounter, we had a similar version of him about six months ago, a fellow by the username of medbs, who claimed to have a 100% successful method.

There is some good stuff on t2w but regrettably you have to pick through mountains of dog excrement to get to it.

My thread "cut the BS, no-one has a magic strategy" was aimed at addressing that, but it's a pointless exercise, trying to hold back the poo.

Sorry, I'm not angry, it was tongue in cheek. Post away, whatever you want.

Here, I'll put up another one to show it's all good.

why do people care so much how others think or do stuff

are you their mother?

 

[meanreversion]

Whilst I realise that it is tongue in cheek, I would say that when I was younger I did get very angry about things which were beyond my control. I started playing golf when I was 28 or 29, and once bent my 6 iron against a tree in anger after a poor shot. Then I thought - WTF, that is f stupid, doesn't help anything and will cost money to fix. I started to realise that it's a game of percentages and that one bad shot doesn't destroy the entire round, and fookin hell it's just a game, no-one died. Kinda similar to trading really. I'd recommend golf to anyone, especially as it's a game you can play until you die. Hmmm, a bit like trading really.

Seriously though, it doesn't p1ss you off, all this cr@p? Take this pile for instance:

It doesn't grate your sack, people posting this cr@p?

You're better off just not reading it dude... You'll send yourself to an early grave getting wound up over such nonsense!

Unlike meanie though, I think 4x might have something interesting to say. We'll see. I defended medbs for a while too

I'm nominating this for best thread.

Cloud and Liam, you make some good points. I agree with both of you. But it's not just the cr@p.

I bet a quarter to a third of the membership of this site are scammers selling their worthless cr@p. These are robbing people.

"Make massive forex profits in between jerking your string bean, might as well, you're on the internet anyway, send £150 now!", all that cr@p.

Yet they're crawling all over the place, you can spot em a mile off. But new people? They're like lambs, lining up to get slaughtered by these sons of b1tches.

Bandit, conservatively how many units of alcohol would you estimate you have consumed in the last 4 hours?

You're not wrong Ambrose. At least this won't open your wallet up and p1ss on your hopes. It'll waste what, a few minutes of your time. A lot of these things could cost you months.
