Biography
Started out in the afterschool of hard knocks as a kid... Hog farm, trailer park, firewood, etc. but I got my hands on an Apple IIe computer early too. Ended up with more degrees than a thermometer later in life. My most valuable bits of education helpful to trading were probably Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Math I and II, Statistics, and Computer Math. That's Computer Science for the younger generation, or hey... just Programming for the next younger.

So, Hotforex is really HotCFD? Just so everyone is aware, the "for" in for-ex is short for "foreign," and the "ex" in for-ex is short for "exchange." With all due respect, there is nothing foreign nor any exchange in CFD trading. Hotforex creates its own price feed and its own trade execution policy, and trades against you. This is the dictionary definition of a bucket shop. I'm pretty sure this is why the U.S. banned CFD's altogether. Maybe they should call it... Hotmess?

If you want to play LBlock, just trade with a CFD dealer. They are both basically in-house casinos.๐

Ah yes... Hammer, shooting star, Gartley patterns, etc. All blasts from the past. I slipped away from this forum for years without cause.๐

Haven't these folks ever heard of bigscreen monitors, webcams, and Zoom?๐ค -
I toyed with Quantower a while ago. It's nothing special. Having said that, I only use trading platforms that incorporate user friendly programming languages. Regarding captive CFD's... No way. Never. I trade real exchange-based markets instead. Except for forex and even in that case, I would still use only a broker-dealer that is connected to the interbank market. CFD - Crooks For Dumbdumbs.๐

@analyst75, Well said. Your post is analogous to me. I watch my bot trade and when I see consecutive small stop-outs, I sit there and think, "Good job, bot. The outrunning good trade is on its way soon"... thanks to my bot's profitable statistics.

@analyst75, Well said. Due the reasons that you stated, I have never subscribed to any social media app/website... unless you consider trading forums to be social media.
