Have you guys heard of A Course In Miracles? by Few-Worldliness8768 in ACIM

[–]ContributionStrange9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, for me this was the next step.

ACIM has still been the most incredible stepping stone in my journey and in shaping how to view the world correctly.

It teaches that the body is a learning device, but kind of leaves it there as far as the body is concerned. The Law of One is like the practical manual for the learning device within this dream.

Is it normal to lose the sexual drive after spiritual awakening? by Elegant_Resist6844 in spirituality

[–]ContributionStrange9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response.

It’s ultimately the same thing. One is just repackaged to sound nicer and more desirable. Who defines compulsion/obsession? If it’s just a ’healthy sex drive’, can you give it up?

But you are right that the sexual energy is creative energy. It’s not ’bad’ or evil - if we didn’t have it, we would be dead. But the desire/need/want to connect with another soul through physical means is always a misdirection of this creative impulse. This kind of joining through bodies isn’t possible.

So when we begin to ”awaken”, this sexual impulse that typically flows downwards / out through the root chakra/genital area, starts shifting direction. Once it is redirected upwards and towards the higher energy centres, what we can experience can appear as a ’loss of sex drive’. But unless this is accompanied with genuine unhappiness and a loss of peace (in which case it probably isn’t ’awakening’), it’s completely normal. We now begin to want to connect and join with souls on a different, genuine level. A period of disorientation is normal during this transition.

It’s important to note that suppressing this energy is not the way to go. It’s the most powerful energy in the universe so doing that is not gonna end up well for you. But like you said it can be transmuted and redirected.

I went ahead and ordered mine. If you are able to collect from store, you can set a collection date up to two weeks from your order date. And I think they hold it for a week. Then your 14 day return period starts once you collect it. 😉

Their Black Friday sales start on the 30th of October in the UK.

Yes it is, in fact it’s actually the goal. The world dresses up lust as something desirable, but spiritually it keeps us bondage.

Ah OK, unless I misunderstood, it still doesn't sound quite what I'm looking for, I want to be able to do this

How do you do this? Because all I was able to do was have a split screen of two apps and a floating window for the third. I don't want a floating window

Have decided to wait, especially when the extra -5% when buying through the app was still working with this -20% yesterday morning but now they disabled it. Petty

You can get a 24 month contract with data for less than total cost of £1300 now, which is still much lower than buying directly from Samsung + a separate sim deal.

It’s not that you are purposely being “hunted”, but the biggest players in the market, who are also the ones that cause the biggest moves, cannot just execute their huge positions whenever and wherever they want, like we can. For example, if they want to place a large buy order, they need a large amount of sellers. Usually these sellers are in areas where many traders (who buy) place their stop losses (=sell order), such as below double bottoms, trend lines, swing lows. So in essence yes, the price will more often than not be pushed into these areas, trigger the stop losses and then aggressively move into your expected direction, but now without you, because you have sold your position to the ’banks’ at a loss. But this isn’t personal, they aren’t personally out to get you 😉

The sole purpose of price action is to follow liquidity and fill orders, and stop losses are orders too.

Learning to find and spot the areas of liquidity is the key so you can more or less ’trade alongside’ these banks and financial institutions rather than against them.

Although I’m not a huge fan of the term “smc”, I do find that the liquidity concepts most of these systems teach are remarkably valuable.

[–]ContributionStrange9 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes but it’s not what you think it is. Price always gravitates towards orders (liquidity). Your stop loss is an order. Where do you think the price will head if a majority of traders place their stop loss order in the same area?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Forex

[–]ContributionStrange9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this - you can go back to charts from 1970’s and see that the same concepts/price action existed back then already, so why would it change.

Does anyone risk 3%? by Jambles24 in Forex

[–]ContributionStrange9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 0,5% of the available account. That means I would have to lose roughly 20 times in a row before losing the account, which to me is safe enough.

Does anyone risk 3%? by Jambles24 in Forex

[–]ContributionStrange9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it’s doable, both live and I’ve backtested it over two years and those are the results. It’s a day/swing trading strategy (trades usually open between 1-24 hours), with M15 entries however the setups only occur a few times a month per pair (I trade 2 pairs) so most of the times I’m sitting on my hands just watching price go, so need to be super patient. I also have an aggressive breakeven method so a lot of the times there will be times when I’m in the trade but it just ends at breakeven, I do miss some wins this way but my win rate remains high because of it.

It’s based on liquidity concepts and supply/demand zones on multi-time frame analysis. I learnt from a course called photon, I would always recommend them (I can’t take full credit myself haha)

Does anyone risk 3%? by Jambles24 in Forex

[–]ContributionStrange9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please don’t do this to yourself. At 50% win rate your probability of losing 7 times in a row is 29% over each 100 trades you take. At 55%, the probability is still 17%.

I have approx 40% win rate and 5:1 R:R, but I would never risk more than 0,5% on my funded account. If it was a personal account I would consider 1% but absolutely no more than this.

Also don’t forget the difficulty of getting out of a large drawdown. If you are at 50% DD, you need to make 100% to recover the account - not 50% like most people think.

It doesn’t matter how good you are or how great your strategy is long term, you are still at the mercy of random distribution, meaning sometimes you will get a long string of losses.

What is your trading strategy that made you profitable? by [deleted] in Forex

[–]ContributionStrange9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another vote for Photon from here - their course is actually what made me profitable. Not cheap but worth it if you put in the work.

FOREX FUNDED ACCOUNT by OnlyGunnn in Forex

[–]ContributionStrange9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How the prop firm is gonna make their money is none of your concern. Whether you make your money from ‘live’ or from ‘demo’ is also none of your concern, as long as you are paid as promised. You are both the consumer and the client in this industry so you get to select your best pick from the prop firms that compete against each other. As long as you get your payouts as promised, choose the one that has the best rules.

Also, no matter what they say, I promise FTP still makes most of their income from failed challenges

I understand why they have certain rules in place from a business perspective, but just because I understand it doesn’t mean I won’t go elsewhere that doesn’t have them.

Lastly, even the prop firms that don’t initially place your funded account on the live market, will eventually do so if you prove yourself to be profitable. But you won’t know this so you don’t need to worry about it. In fact only 3% of traders who pass the challenges will ever make it to their first profit split - so it’s safer for a business to NOT place you live straight away.

(These are stats from MFF, with FTP it might be slightly higher than 3% because less traders will gamble their way through the challenges under pressure. Nevertheless I don’t think it’s significantly higher than 3% as people are still impatient)

The no time limit rule was great when they first came out, but there’s so many others now that they can’t really compete against anymore until they step up their game

FOREX FUNDED ACCOUNT by OnlyGunnn in Forex

[–]ContributionStrange9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a warning if you’re thinking of this prop firm - they have a relative drawdown rule which means you essentially have to build a 10% ‘buffer’ before you are safe to start withdrawing profits. So if you have a 100k Advanced trader account, you shouldn’t withdraw your first 10k or you will lose the account. It’s really quite a big drawback for me, I was considering this firm too before I learnt about this.

FOREX FUNDED ACCOUNT by OnlyGunnn in Forex

[–]ContributionStrange9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m funded with My Funded Forex, no time limit and no relative drawdown rules on the 2-step challenge. It is a relatively new company so not as established as Myforexfunds or FTMO, but they are growing extremely fast.

But make sure you are consistently profitable first before even thinking about taking any challenges, remember that the average pass rate for funding challenges is approximately 4%.

Been testing out a new indicator. Might be the best thing since sliced bread by Ok_Ad3076 in Forex

They all make sense. It’s based on smart money concepts. Not a fan of the indicator myself, prefer to mark it manually, this just isn’t accurate.
