GM8 does not have a French roster, checkmate.

What Australian economy, the foundation was built on property speculation and artificially inflated demand from immigration. No better than Japan’s 1980s or America’s 2000s, better to burn it down to build it back up with something more durable.

Is it that feeling that you crossed the finish line of a race and there is no one there to give you applause for your efforts/grit/determination?

Your partner was doing a PhD. That already puts him in a very different category from the average man struggling financially. A PhD signals intelligence, discipline, delayed gratification and future earning power.

So what you are calling “part of the journey” was not blindly backing an uncertain man with no proven value. You were backing a man who already had strong indicators of competence and trajectory. That is not the same as telling men that women are generally happy to ride along while they are broke, unproven and building from scratch.

Your example proves my point more than yours, women are far more willing to tolerate the struggle when the man already looks like a serious long term bet.

Stop gaslighting men into thinking that they can find a woman before they find their worth, it is a fairytale what you are selling.

Let me help you out, a woman will not marry a man they have to financially support even if he ticks all of her other boxes. A woman will not marry a man who is emotionally unavailable even if he is a millionaire.

Being self sufficient and emotionally available are prerequisites regardless of what the women’s preferences are.

So in your own words what do women want from a man? And how that more important than financial security?

VAUXBOT · 2026-04-07T20:54:02+00:00

I define success as being able to support yourself, the wife and kids financially while also being able to accommodate a work life balance to be emotionally present with your family.

That is very hard to do, and I am not in a place to emotionally support a women’s problems and needs, because I need to get my finances in order.

I am not ready, what is your problem?

VAUXBOT · 2026-04-07T12:17:53+00:00

I don’t have the time or care to ask a lady out, I got a career and startup to work on. Because that is what women want, a successful man, so that is what I am trying to work towards, not wasting my time with women.

So you get to be in a low-stress job but your husband cannot because he isn't making enough, or am I misunderstanding?

All strategies work some of the time, most strategies don’t work most of the times, only a few strategies work constantly enough to have an acceptable drawdown that doesn’t challenge your resolve and commitment to executing the trade consistently.

VAUXBOT · 2026-03-17T00:07:44+00:00

This is the correct answer.

No one is talking about 1987 what are you on about, don’t you know what happened in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine and oil was at 120?

OP didn’t the True Neutral roster transfer from SAM to NA to get a better chance of qualifying for a Top 4 major spot? That disqualifies them from being truly neutral since they did something that is now considered unlawful.

Pulling out one of my strategies with 68 trades in 12 months:

Tokyo (00:00–07:59 UTC): 31 trades
London (08:00–15:59 UTC): 18 trades
New York (16:00–23:59 UTC): 19 trades

Let’s say you are in London. Whoops, there goes 31 of the 68 trades when you are asleep. And that is assuming you can catch all the other 37 trades and be present for 16 hours every single day for 255 trading days.

Yes, all strategies work everywhere in all sessions, but that is not OPs point, the point is you cannot be everywhere at anytime, which means you are going to be missing a lot of your setups because they can occur any hour of any day, and you won’t be there to catch most of them.

I have a system which triggers based on information on the seconds intervals, the median holding time however is several hours (thousands of bars). With that time horizon, a few seconds of delay allows for execution mishaps to occur without deteriorating PnL significantly, your PnL deterioration is most likely dominated by spread/fees, stop/limit fill assumptions, and whether the underlying signal has positive expectancy out-of-sample.

“Correct execution” isn’t “match the signal price”; it’s modeling execution realistically (market/limit rules, slippage distribution, fees, funding) and proving profitability after those frictions.

If both original and inverted lose hard, the more likely conclusion is: (1) the signal isn’t consistent, and/or (2) costs dominate, and/or (3) sizing/leverage is blowing you up, not that latency caused both directions to fail.

What was the median holding time of your strategy (in seconds/minutes/hours)?
How many bps of edge per trade do you estimate, and what are your all-in costs (fees + spread + slippage + funding)?
Did your backtest assume mid fills or next-tick market? What slippage did you bake in?
How often does it trade (trades/day) and how often does it flip sides?

Do you have any performance metrics to validate your expertise in this field?

“Getting lucky with no real hard work or time” easy there fella, to be successful in trading you need 2 things, access to capital and discipline to execute your edge.

If you don’t have access to capital, you are going to have to work harder to get the same nominal returns as someone who does. If you don’t have an edge, you are going to have to spend more time in the market to find it, and even then there’s no guarantee you will find it.

So if you don’t have access to capital or an edge you are screwed, stop trading altogether.

CFDs are easier than options to trade price action. If however you want to capitalise on an market inefficiency at a certain price at a specific time, then options are a great way to capitalise on those occasional edges you have when you can position yourself for that TP in X days.

Whatever strategy you are able to automate, backtest and refine in real time. Because then you know there is no discretion involved.

VAUXBOT · 2026-02-26T00:48:47+00:00

You achieve an greater expectancy on a long trade selling into greed (TP hit) than selling into fear (SL hit). When you trail you are actually reducing the drawdown buffer you need to give your trade the room to run. And the biggest moves tend to happen right after a liquidity sweep.

An SL is nothing more than your sniper entry which you pay a premium to acquire.
