Thanks Tomi, excellent video. A way of trading the seed using the Fruit template. The hunt picked that seed and we traded it in the room.

Quick Ref: to your brilliant post on the 7th of march and let me thank you again for sharing and confirming yet again in a way, that the success rate of Hunt (seeds and cherries) is awesome and it gives you stress free 10-15% growth a month working 2hrs a day. Sadly, recently a person left me a note, "doubtful newcomer bitten by the "pythons" of forex before".... that "life is short and this sort of profits are not enough for me" (paraphrase) .... I would invest everything i have in a strategy that gives me 2% growth per month. I'll borrow and mortgage my friends houses for a strategy that gives me 10-15% growth...

Tomi, thanks for your efforts and sharing your results and videos with us. It's great to hear from you again :-)

And Immy:

Many are obviously already spoiled by big unverified stories and fake results which are circulating about gigantic and dreamlike results some of the super-systems are offering to be possible. Rejecting 10-15% monthly as not enough is stupid and without knowing the fundamentals of compounding.

Let him go, Immy. After he will have busted his live account he will maybe come back ;-)

That was a nice trade, 3 bars to achieve target. You couldn't make a hot drink any faster :)
I wish more people would come on here to share something on their journals

I hate phonecalls, visitors at the door, and most other interruptions while I am trading too.
Perhaps I don't operate in stress-free mode very much of the time, because I find this thing needs almost total concentration!
Maybe the ladies have an advantage over us men, they seem to multitask better.
