    The Active Forex Traders Discussion

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Of course it is. Opinions tend to be biased. However there's many studies that show that 95%+ of traders lose money. The rest can be attributed to luck. I could apply the same exact logic to gambling. Am I a gambler? No. Does that mean that I can't say that you'll likely lose money by...

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I went there and couldn't figure out what it is until about 2 minutes in. If I couldn't figure out the exact product/services being provided in 2 minutes then I'm sure others can't. I would've pressed the back button if I was a customer. All I got was vagueness. Plus there's a banner at the...

    Coincidence?

    MINDSET 
    Seminars are always scams (or at least 99% are). Where do you think they get the money to pay for renting the room to host the seminar? Why would they spend so much time trying to get people?

    Commodities are futures so I'm not sure why you said futures and commodities. There are stock futures and commodity futures. Commodity futures do go up very slowly over a long period of time due to inflation while stock futures go up based on inflation, growth, and dividends. Also traders...

    Attracting investors: Is a website mockup worth it?

    Ok so if your pitches fail what are you going to do? What's your backup plan? Why don't they take your idea and hire a team of programmers themselves? Why do they need you?

    Attracting investors: Is a website mockup worth it?

    Investors don't need you. What value do you provide? What's your past experience? They are going to look at these things. You'll probably spend 1-2 years pitching to people and failing when you could've programmed everything yourself in a few months. Would you pitch an idea of a restaurant...

    Quitting Slowlane road to go fastlane

    SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    Email marketing used to work well in the 90's. It's 2016. The conversion rate of promotion emails is very low. Out of 1,000 emails you'll maybe get 10 conversions if you're lucky. Can you make a living off of 10 conversions? Of course not. You'll never be fast lane based on what you're...

    Forex trading is complete waste of time and money. Before even thinking about dipping your foot in Forex I would gain an understanding in standard deviation/volatility and theoretical ROI. Forex is a zero sum game which means the theoretical ROI is zero plus trading costs and spread. The...

    Lots of information missing. How long is the audio? Is it an mp3 or app? How many people even search for meditation programs? I'm guessing very few. How about do a search report if you're doing PPC. You're probably targeting people who aren't into meditation, looking for just books...

    Quitting Slowlane road to go fastlane

    SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    One thing you also need to be aware of is that you can go after a couple of ideas at the same time instead of one. I'm not sure if you've changed business models in your posts since they're vague on what you're doing. If you're working on a bad idea then sometimes it does make sense to give up...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I watched the video and yes mobile apps are hackable if the user that's holding on the phone intentionally hacks it or the user downloads a malicious app. No where did they demonstrate apps being hacked by sending packets over the internet. If the app becomes popular then you can always hire...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    ...Or you could first finish putting in 1,000 hours of both learning to market and write code I already mentioned to learn both. I never said to not learn marketing and copy-writing. Some bugs are hard to find and have to do with parsing packets or a certain series of steps. Even big name...

    Opportunity to Buy B&M Biz for $575k

    Never ever buy a business unless it has AUDITED financials and tax returns. It's extremely easy to lie and have unaudited financials. I know of a relative who sold a business for around 300k that was losing thousands a month but told them it was doing great and making 10k a month. The poor...

    Need help with starting a activewear clothing line

    I think that the clothing would have to be special in some way and stand out otherwise nobody is going to buy it at the prices you'll be selling it at. $7,000 is enough if you do it yourself but I don't think it's enough to get manufacturers to do it. They have minimum orders and don't want to...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    My version: Learn to market and write copy: You currently have $15,000 in your bank account 1000 hours learning to market and write code, while that 1000 hours is going on, pay someone $11,000 that has 10,000 hours of training on apps to write your app. Start marketing your app immediately...

    Attracting investors: Is a website mockup worth it?

    Why would you need investors? Why not just make the website? If you need money because you can't code PHP then why not learn PHP and do it yourself? It's important to have some understanding of what you're doing. I mean you've got to know the basics such as website templates. It's like...

    How long do you guys keep paying for fixed costs for a venture before moving on?

    Ouch. That's a lot to lose from fixed costs. Where did most of your 10k go? In just a few months??? You cut the cord when you realize that your original plan didn't work out or that there's no light at the end of the tunnel. One of the most valuable assets is time and it's very important...

    Woodworking, Still Worth It?

    I would say go for it if the research shows that it's promising. Not too many woodworkers are around. Obviously you can't compete with Chinese imports but there should be a niche that you would be able to tap into such as custom furniture or built-ins for homes. Also checking what services...
