What You Should Expect From This Service...

pips.
pips, pips and more pips.
for i am a forex currency trader.
and forex traders should get pips.
if they do not get pips,
they are not forex currency traders.
they are forex currency donors.
and the market thanks them,
for their generous contributions
to liquidity.

for when we win,
someone else loses.
in order for someone else to lose,
we have to step up,
and take the other side
of their trade.

we are pleased to provide
this valuable civic service.
most of the time, anyway.
sometimes we too get creamed.
for forex is a brutal game.
a 'zero-sum' game.

winning is like reaching through
another man's screen,
and taking food right off his plate.
think medieval jousting
...with a computer mouse.
sometimes i, too, am a donor.
someone else eats my lunch,
and hands me my head.
and i must leave the arena
to lick my wounds.

for the forex forgives no one.
it is vast and terrible,
a deep ocean of liquidity,
and you are like a cork.
bobbing out in the middle.
all alone,
above the bottomless abyss.
just you and your dinky little trade.

for the forex can't see you.
the forex can't hear you.
the forex doesn't even know
you are there.
and the forex doesn't even care.
only you care.

some people can't handle this.
they're sensitive and caring.
emotional and sharing.
they want forex to notice them.
and, boy, does it.
like a shark notices minnows.
da-da-da-dah...
'we're gonna' need a bigger boat.'

i mention this just so we're
all on the same page here.
i teach too, but mainly i trade.
for i am a trader.
'been trading a long time.
'been teaching a long time, too.
many seminar gurus say they trade.

but do they trade?
i do not know.
they say they do,
but who can know?

they wear nice suits.
and fancy boots,
their seminars.
aim for the stars.

they pitch the folks,
out in the seats.
that forex trading,
can't be beat.

that all you really
have to do,
is let some software
trade for you.

folks fly back home
their dreams to stoke.
but blinking lights,
soon leave them broke.

how many of these gurus
provide live trading signals?
some? none? any?
and why not?
what a great marketing idea!
show people what you can do.
pedal to the metal.
let it all hang out.

that is what i am doing.
providing you with trades,
that you can take.
or not.
that's up to you.
but then again, isn't everything,
up to you?

during a depression.
everyone is depressed.
but the forex is not depressed.
the forex flows on,
like a mighty river.
with trade setups arriving,
at the hard right edge,
of our trading screens,

which is why we are not depressed.
in a depression.
when everything goes down.
but not the forex.
the forex goes up and down.
in just two dimensions only.
thank god not three.
then things could really get tricky.

i believe in helping people.
at first, i was going to send,
free alerts to everyone.
to provide them with free fish,
just for the halibut.
get it, halibut?

but then i realized that
people don't appreciate,
that which is free.
it's true: TANSTAAFL
so here's the deal.
when you 'follow' me on twitter,
you get alerts to each new trade
i am taking.
you get the currency pair.
the direction.
the time frame.
the entry price.
what you will not get is the profit objective.
you will see that a day or two later.
after the trade has closed.
and been updated at my blog.

students of our course know exactly.
how to determine the profit objective.
they are not surprised
to see us win so many trades.

the rest of you
will have to guess.
how far the pip
will travel next.

how did we ever
really know,
how far the pip
would really go?

before it finally
petered out?
then turned around
to fake us out?

to figure this out for yourself,
you'll have to login,
and get the course video modules.
to do that you will need to be a student.
to be a student you will need to enroll.

if you enroll you receive our
money-back guarantee.
enroll in our course.
study the course modules.
join us on the twice-weekly
support telewebinars.
keep track of your trades.
if after 90 days you can demonstrate,
that you are following our method,
but aren't producing more pips than you lose
we will cheerfully refund
100% of your course tuition.
and you can keep the education.
on the house.

here is the basic rule,
subscribers need to know.
i am not your mother.
i am not your babysitter,
or your conscience.
i provide signals,
you check them out.
maybe you like them,
maybe you don't.
maybe you'll trade them,
maybe you won't.

of course i won't be able to send you,
all of my trades.
i simply don't have the time to alert you,
to every trade,
i take for myself.
also, trades on the 5-min chart,
would often be over,
before you got them.

so if you like all the pips,
you can generate a lot more by learning,
how to do this,
on your own.
and i'd be happy,
to teach you here.
but back to the service.

sending you trade alerts,
does not constitute financial advice.
if you need financial advice.
call suze orman.
i don't give financial advice.
i don't give marital advice, either.
in fact, i don't give advice
about anything.
never have, never will.
just gets you in trouble.

most of my trades
have been wins for many years now.
i emphasize most,
because some trades will lose.
it is so sad,
but true.
trades are like people.
each has its own fate.
many grow old,
but some die young.
like elvis,
and jimmie dean.
but not in vain.

for we learn from our losses, too.
because we believe in the power of the pip.
to set us free,
as pips accumulate
in our brokerage account.
so we transfer some,
to our bank account.
where they are no longer pips but blips,
glowing on a computer screen.
pretending to be money.
but they are not.
money, that is.
they are just blips.
just an idea.
that can be deleted.
by the powers that be.
real money gleams,
and it jingles.
so we visit the atm,
and dispense ourselves some coupons.
bearing the likeness,
of deceased notables.
like the tyrant, lincoln.
the illuminist, franklin.
and the fop, hamilton
whom burr should have dispatched years earlier.
but i digress.

by turning pips into blips,
and then into paper.
we perpetrate a nifty caper.
we emulate rumplestiltskin.
who spun straw into gold.
supposedly.
personally, i am skeptical.

soon our paper money will be just like that.
worthless straw.
hyperinflation nation.
so we take our coupons,
and we buy gold.
and bury it in the back yard.
our neighbor's back yard, of course.
now we are prepared,
for the worst.

sometimes you will get an alert
that you do not agree with.
you will wonder,
'what is philips thinking?
or drinking?'
so you will cherry pick.
if you do,
your results will be different from mine.
who knows?
maybe they will be better.
but experience shows,
they will probably be worse.

left to their own devices,
most subscribers to any service,
screw it up.
by tinkering and second-guessing.
if you do, and your results are better,
i will ask you to teach me.
but if they are worse,
you might want to play the pip.
where it lies.

i hope to get you lots of pips.
but you should always bear in mind.
that past performance never guarantees,
future results.
in fact, the future itself is not guaranteed.
today may be the last day.
*ever*
who knows?
some physicists say that
time may one day,
.sdrawkcab nur

if the universe stops expanding.
and begins to contract.
they call it the 'big crunch.'
i'm not smart enough to understand.
but i am smart enough to win,
most of my trades.

if you follow along with me,
you will probably do pretty well.
you might even make a lot of blips.
in which case you can remember me.
in your will.

so hope for the best,
but assume the worst,
and never risk,
that which you cannot afford to lose,
and live happily without.

one more thing.
please don't write to ask.
why i am taking.
a particular trade.
i cannot tell you.
it is a closely guarded secret.
revealed only to those.
who take our currency course.
available here.
ha, ha
i had to work that in again.

i will not send you trade alerts.
via e-mail.
all trades will be sent.
through twitter.
so in order to receive the trade alerts,
you must join twitter as a user.
twitter is free.
of course, nothing in life.
is ever really free.
it is either pre-paid.
or paid for by someone else.

i do not run twitter.
so if you have a problem with twitter,
kindly get in touch with them.
thank you.

whenever i spot a juicy looking trade.
i will send you a 'tweet.'
that is what twitter calls postings.
tweets.
cute, isn't it?
it's hard to imagine a hell's angel.
or jesse ventura
receiving a tweet.
but again i digress.

there is no quota of trade alerts.
that you will receive.
so don't expect 'one-a-day.'
this is not a vitamin plan.
i do not trade.
for the sake of trading.
i trade only when i see,
what i am looking for.
if it's not there
i do something else.
like read title 26.
or paint the house.

some days there will be
no trades at all.
sometimes there will be
none for several days.
maybe i'm off-planet.
maybe i don't feel like trading.
some days there may be.
more than one trade.
so please don't write and ask.
whether there was a trade.
if there wasn't one,
you didn't get it.
like the country western song:
'if the phone don't ring, darlin',
you'll know it was me.'

sometimes you will get a new trade.
while a previous trade is still open.
if that freaks you out,
skip the subsequent trades.
until the first one closes.

i will create a hypothetical portfolio.
starting with $10,000 usd in 'play bux'.
risk will be carefully managed.
each trade will be bookended.
with a stop and a limit.
i will post all results
at modest risk position sizing.
meaning that the most we can lose per trade.
will not be too large, nor too small.
like goldilocks.
even if we have several losers in a row.
risk should never cause.
consternation or coronaries.

we manage risk so that.
we can live to trade another day.
unlike people in mutual funds.
hovering thousands of dow points.
above the concrete canyon,
of wall street.
with no stops and no net.
whose losses are not truncated.
whose losses are limited only;
to the size of their entire portfolio.

if you are the adventurous type.
or have a gambling streak.
you can increase your risk sizing.
if things start going well,
you can increase it even more.
and go insane from the profits.
then get a margin call.
and the market will thank you,
for your contribution to liquidity.
as we take the meat,
from your plate.

if you are smart, however,
you will withdraw profits.
from time to time.
eventually, if all goes well,
and the creek don't rise.
you might be able to withdraw,
all of your original capital.
and continue trading on the 'juice.'
juice is a sophisticated term.
known to banksters,
and other financial professionals.
it's the 'vig,' the 'skim,' the 'take.'
it means you are trading.
on pure 'gravy.'
on other people's money.
with no risk whatsoever.
that's a nice place to be.
better than teetering
high above wall street.
with your life savings on the line.

exponential account growth will be.
a function of increasing lot size.
increasing lot size will be a function of.
exponential account growth.
they go together,
like yin and yang.
like ink and bernanke.
i will maintain a spreadsheet,
to update trade results,
at my blog.

pretty soon hundreds of people
could be 'following' me.
i might even get on oprah.
where i can ask
embarrassing questions.
like, why did you vote for obama,
when he's not a citizen,
as required under the constitution?
is this some kind of a coup?

for trading gives you freedom.
it frees your head.
to reach the unreachable stars.
to ask the unaskable questions.
to be a total pain in the arse.

a word about support.
many tweeter 'followers' will want to write
with questions.
but i will not be able to answer
their e-mails.
i do not have enough fingers or enough hours,
in the day.
i will start a 'frequently asked questions' page.
i will answer each new question
and add it to the faq.
that is how
i will answer e-mails.

however, i would enjoy speaking with you,
in person.
to get to know each other.
you are welcome to join me
on a 'wealth wednesday' webinar.
write to me with 'add me to your webinars'
in the subject line of your note.
and i will add you to the notification list.
wednesday night webinars are
free to the public.
invite your friends!

i hope you enjoy the tweets.
but i have said enough already.
and now i must go.
for there may be a trade to take right now.
in which case writing to you,
could be costing me money.
so i must leave,
to stalk the wild pip.
thanks for being there,
and for caring.
and may the pip be with you.

Performance Updates
As mentioned earlier, I will be making regular updates to a spreadsheet I maintain in the office and from which I will print to Adobe, rendering periodically updated performance reports in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file format.

Tough Love Legal Disclaimer
In the event you had your sense of personal responsibility surgically removed and for us to keep the regulators happy, you need to understand that Forex trading can be risky. So risky in fact that you can lose your entire trading account in a single trade (or two if you didn't try hard enough the first time), so never trade with money that you cannot absolutely afford to lose and live comfortably without. We also accept no responsibility for what happens after you click the mouse on your Forex brokerage account. We send alerts, you trade. We live here, behind this screen, and you are there, behind yours. We hope you make lots of money so you can escape the collapse. Maybe move to Uruguay. But we guarantee nothing. If in doubt, learn to trade on your own.
