THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

I'm not joking...I dream sometimes of news events in the world about to happen.....it is quite scary at times.....even during the day I can have a very bad feeling about something or a person....and the event can be a day away or years !.....nothing about FOGL.....it would have to be a bad news thing for a dream to occur !....

_62253927_000107807-1.jpg'No decision' on Dandy's future'

The publisher of Britain's longest running comic has said no decision has been taken on whether it will cease publication.

There has been speculation that The Dandy, home to characters such as Desperate Dan, was under threat of closure because of circulation decline.

_62265305_concorde.jpgWaveRider hypersonic jet targets Mach 6

Hypersonic jet WaveRider is to undergo another test flight above the Pacific Ocean aiming to reach Mach 6.

At this speed - more than 4,300mph (6,900km/h) - it could travel from London to New York in about an hour.

The project is funded by the Pentagon and Nasa, and is part of plans to develop faster missiles.

Has anyone heard about "Million Dollar Pips Robot"?

My partner has already bought the program ($100), but is not sure to fully register with the broker.

It runs automatic high frequency currency trading program using one of the brokers, and can change 250 to over 1mln. Info can be found at http://milliondollarpips.com/members/download.php?r=69TQEJBD&p=2

They suggest ThinkForex as broker. https://www.thinkforex.com/

Should I go ahead and try these or they might be fraud and misuse all my information?

Any comment would be greatly appreciated.

ExecLine - 15 Aug 2012 11:09 - 17941 of 81564

Has to be worth a try. That's for sure.

The Hypersonic Jet Waverider and flying a 4,600 mph, I mean. Not the Robot Trader though. It obviously doesn't work or the guy would be using it himself and not selling it to everyone else.

ahoj,

You'll have to trust me when I say that I know more than my fair share about automated trading and EAs (robots).

Your partner will find that MDP will work for some users and not for others. It is very broker dependent and, if it's going to work for you, you will need to run it with a true ECN broker such as FXCC, FinFX, Pepperstone Razor. I think that ThinkForex pad their spreads, but I'm not 100% sure about that without checking (it's something I should really know as I'm an IB for them). Robots which trade so-called impulse spikes such as MDP have a very low trade expectancy (only a pip or so) and very short trade durations (less than a minute), so it will be nigh-impossible to profit from this EA if you use a broker with wide spreads or one who is prone to slip a pip or two in execution. As I say, the choice of broker really is going to make all the difference with this particular robot. Remember too that demo accounts don't slip, so you'll always get better performance from the robot on demo than you will live.

You will also find that latency to your broker's server is an issue. I'd speak to Ginge (Treblewide on £am) who owns BeeksFx if you or your partner are serious about using MDP. You'll be able to Google the Beeks website and he knows his onions about cloud computing. He works with several Forex brokers to get the best connection speeds possible between the brokers' servers and his VPS where the client terminals are running. Often his VPS's will be located in the same datacentres as the brokers' own servers.

I'd also look at a robot called Forex Thor as an alternative to MDP. Very similar in operation, but a bit more stable imo.

Edit: You asked if this was a fraud or scam. The MDP people are not fraudsters imo, but you need to remember that this robot is about 1 year old now and sales have slowed over time. As sales slow, product support invariably gets weaker.

As for ThinkForex, they are based in NZ. They are an above board company and regulated locally by whatever professional body it is out there that count all the sheep. It's difficult to get excited about anything that happens in a country with a population less than Croydon's, and their regulatory body isn't exactly up to FSA standards, but they're still legit nonetheless.

AID .the likes of this gov is and the last have killed the uk .
greece and spain are ripping up the eu rules and a bloody good job .
the uk will have its own civil war whenI do not know but it will.
people who go to work in the uk are fools worse off than the people
who do not a couple with two kids get free housing no council tax
no maintence no insurance .and on top free dentist free swimming .
free glasses .no traveling costs .free school dinners and can even claim for house hold goods for free . plus the cash of £180 plus family allowance .

Syrian government forces and rebels committing war crimes - U.N. report


GENEVA | Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:35pm BST

(Reuters) - Syrian government forces and allied Shabbiha militia have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder and torture, United Nations human rights investigators said on Wednesday.

Syrian rebels fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad have also committed war crimes, but the violations "did not reach the gravity, frequency and scale" of those carried out by the army and security forces, they said.

"The commission found reasonable grounds to believe that government forces and the Shabbiha had committed the crimes against humanity of murder and of torture, war crimes and gross violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, including unlawful killing, torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, sexual violence, indiscriminate attack, pillaging and destruction of property," said the 102-page report by the independent investigators led by Paulo Pinheiro.

From that link - its no wonder they failed - mach 6 is surely about 4608 mph (768 *6)!

"The US Air Force has said an attempt to fly its hypersonic jet Waverider at Mach 6 (3,600mph; 5795km/h) failed."
