Just To Clarify

Got some emails that lead me to feel I needed to clarify what is going on here. So I'll clarify:

I put this together at the suggestion of a trading friend for a small group of us that have been trading together for a while (although everyone is welcome). A place where we can post our charts and what it is that we see in the charts and what trades we may be thinking of pulling the trigger on, or not. Maybe someone has a question that we can all benefit from or just a general comment about the market and what's happening. Maybe just sharing some pictures of our last fishing trip. How about a new micro brew, Scotch, and/or cigar (or soda and candy cigarette for the non-drinker/smoker) experience to share with everyone....that's the AND MORE part of the FX TRADING AND MORE...... "What about a forum or a google or yahoo group?" you say. Didn't want to, wanted this instead! Besides this is free and my own forum/website I had to pay for. Who really wants to see another forum about trading anyway? They seem to be around every website corner on the net.

What I do not do is give ANY financial advice to anyone (or anything). Any information that I might disseminate is totally general and based on a specific situation (in MY mind) and may result in a gain or (and more likely) a loss of a complete fortune. I am a private person not, nor do I, claim to be licensed or a certified financial planner/advisor of any or anything else financial. The fact is the only license I have is a driver's license. Oh yea, and a contractors license, but that hardly qualifies (I have found that I can lose a fortune with that as well). I am neither an instructor, teacher, professor, nor am I affiliated with any educational organization of any type. I do not train others in any capacity for any type of compensation.

Remember that futures, securities, and equities markets carry an extremely high degree of risk which can only be warranted by your own tolerances for that risk. Which as the intelligent, capable, thinking person I am sure you are, you have chosen to welcome and take responsibility for that risk, if you so choose to risk your hard earned assets.

What goes on here and the information here does not, should not, will not and should never even be considered to replace your individual research or advice from someone who is licensed (you know you can get one of those for around $50.00 on the Internet, just saying). There are soooo many different strategies (I like strategies better than systems, but I guess there are those too), and techniques as well as a gazillion indicators, that one must find what works best for them. I know what works best for me, and that may not work best for anyone else. You must determine what works best for you, and it may not work best for me....hmmm (did that make any sense?)

So Ladies, Gentlemen, Kids and pets, please do not try this at home. You could lose your ass and a whole lot more! The odds say so.

But, if you would like to hang out around here from time to time than please do so. Feel free to leave comments as you like. Suggestions are welcome too. And who knows, just maybe we can all make some pips then go on and enjoy a micro brew, a fine wine, or a Scotch with a fine cigar (or soda and candy cigarette for the non-drinker/smoker) while lying about all the fish we caught and the ones that got away.

"the only license I have is a driver's license. Oh yea, and a contractors license" Does this mean that I need a drivers Lic. and or a contractors Lic. to trade? Just kidding, just want to say thanks for the disclaimer and all the help. And keep up the good my friend.
