Leverage In The United States

Okay, maybe I'm a weenie. But I went back today and deleted kind of a harsh post regarding the CFTC ruling that would attempt to restrict leverage for retail forex traders (that's me and you).

Here's the deal. Not all brokers will be affected by this ruling, so you will be able to access direct to market brokers who not only allow you to hedge (which has made that NFA ruling against hedging meaningless), but also brokers right here in the United States (and around the world, of course) who will continue to legally let you use leverage from 100 to 1 up to 400 to 1. That is a direct quote from my own direct to market broker. I trade with them legally and ethically, and I currently use 100 to 1 leverage as well as hedging right here in the U.S. I will continue to be able to use my standard and preferred 100 to 1 leverage as well as hedging capabilities with this same direct to market broker based right here in the United States.

Capitalists always find a way.

As I said in a somewhat more lengthy and politically editorial post yesterday, capitalism and free trade are alive still today in the United States. Responsible traders who actually know how to use leverage to their advantage (as well as hedging as a strategy to protect equity) continue to not only use but NEED these trading fundamentals. It's wrong for the current administration to attempt to over regulate our ability to trade.

Regardless, and I'll stop with the editorializing here cause most of you already know how I feel about the current administration, we capitalists will always find a way to make a profit. It's what we do. We will continue to do it, despite every attempt to regulate limits on free enterprise by the current Obama administration.

So don't worry about that CFTC ruling. It's not going to affect you if you simply look around at all your options. We only have a couple more years to endure, and then we'll likely return to a more capitalist friendly Washington, D.C. At least that's my opinion. Peace and prosperity to all. Well, actually the "prosperity" part is mostly directed at those willing to take a risk of actually making profits in America today by actively investing. What a concept.

My war with Google

Well, you should look for a revised version of my website at some point soon. I have had Google shut down my Adwords account cause they claim my website is a "get rich quick scheme". So I wrote back to them and asked, "What if people actually get rich with my system, AND they earn the wealth in a very short period of time? In other words, what if this actually is a legitimate way to get rich quick?" They still didn't believe me.

So, I sent a free copy of my system and offered full support for anyone there who would try it. I promised if I can't help you make $500,000 in less than six weeks at a minimum, then fine -- call me a liar. No one responded. No one tried my system. No one at Google offered to even check out my trading system.

So this creates quite the hassle. I'm kind of writing this post now cause I'm frustrated trying to write new copy for a new website. First, I was insulted that Google challenged the integrity of my mathematics based system. I suggested that they should actually challenge the integrity of every claim made by forex brokers (who advertise with Google Adwords non-stop), but they promote technical analysis which causes 80% of all new traders to lose all their money and is fatally flawed because it seeks to predict price movement trends based on HISTORICAL chart patterns. Well, sad to break the news to Google and all fans of technical analysis, but history does NOT repeat itself consistently. More importantly, it is somewhat generally accepted in the world of science and technology that it is impossible to "predict" the future.

This is what technical analysis tries to do. Technical analysis is the scam out there. Yet, Google says I'm promoting the "get rich quick" scheme. Well, people DO get rich quick. I get e-mails daily from people who succeed with my system. I enjoy working with people on the system, cause your day trading forex is otherwise filled with boredom waiting for trends to identify themselves or price movement to hit some important mathematical trend indicators. With a lot fewer people buying my system, I actually find myself playing a lot of online Texas Hold Em. It's fun. I enjoy it, because it's a game of statistical probability (which is the same kind of calculation we do in my system in forex).

But it's not nearly as exciting as working with someone. Explaining how to use two 100% true variables in forex (price movement and time), put the data into synergy, and then make real time trading decisions to earn big profits. That's how my system works. I love it when the light bulb goes off over a person's head and they "get it".

And I even enjoy the skeptics who buy my system and say, "No way. It can't be this simple." Actually, it is pretty simple once you get into it. The voodoo preached by conventional brokers is the scam.

But, hey, I'm the guy now banned from Google adwords. I have a lot less people buying my system, which doesn't bug me financially so much cause I only charge a humble $29.95 for the whole deal including my special, personal support. :-)

The frustration is that I am losing my contact with people learning, and that creates kind of a stale and boring existence for me. So let me use this blog to just whine a bit.

I'd like some whine with my forex profits. But okay. Google, you guys get ready. I'm rewriting my website. I wrote one new version which just had a disclaimer at the top, but that's not a "new" website. I am having a hard time taking stuff out, cause everything in there is from my life. It's my actual story. What a pain.

But okay. I am writing something new, and then I am raising the stinking price cause this has hacked me off. What a world we live in. Google is like the monopoly on reaching people on the web.

Can't someone invent a legitimate system that competes with these guys? I signed up for Yahoo adwords, or their version, and no one visits my sites. Hits are way down, and no one is even asking me questions through the support e-mail address. I feel like I'm all alone in front of a PC, and that is boring as hell.

A new website. How about, "You MIGHT make big money." "It's theoretically possible that mathematics work in our universe, so it's 'possible' you 'may' in some instances earn a million bucks with my system...but that's not a get rich quick 'promise' -- it's just what other people have done." How about 3000+ people who have bought the system in the past four years?????

I am very angry with the jerks at Google. Cause you don't matter to them. And whatever they determine is just the way it is. They don't talk to you and they don't listen. They TELL you the way it is, and that's the deal. How in the world did these guys get so big? Or, perhaps the better question is how do they STAY so big when they disregard people with such absolute confidence that THEY know the facts despite zero investigation of the subject at hand.

Anyway.
