I’ve gotten thousands of questions since the material began in early 2018. Today, most of the questions I get are lazy ones, because I have already answered it in another video, and the person asking the question is just being impatient. These questions always get ignored. Go look at the comments section in any of my YouTube videos, you’ll see what type of questions I’m talking about, they’re everywhere.
But for the rest of you, these are the better questions I get often. I hope the answers are helpful to you
“I think I saw you on <insert social media handle>. Was that you?”
These are my only social media handles:
YouTube: HERE
Twitter: HERE
I don’t have any other media channels apart from those two and this website. If you see any others, it’s an impostor, and please let me know about it. All you had to do was click on the handle. Does it have lots of followers? If not, then it’s not me.
There is a user-created Discord Forum, which you can find here. Make sure you have finished all of the material before you go there, and have read their rules. There is also a Facebook trading group dedicated to No Nonsense Forex, but I’m not on Facebook myself so I can’t reference it
Outside of that, you may have fan-created channels or sites which reference some of the material which is perfectly okay to do, but I personally have nothing to do with those places.
Do You Have A Paid Course?
One of the most common questions I get, and yes I do. It’s my trading psychology course, and it took me 100 hours to create so I really hope you love it.
I do not have a technical analysis course, but there is only one site I allow to teach my material, and he has a condensed No Nonsense Forex course where he teaches my technical analysis and money management concepts for a fee. You can find it HERE.
If you cannot afford these courses, that’s fine, almost all of the info is up on the YouTube Channel for free. The courses were created for those who don’t have a lot of time to go through hundreds of videos.
“Is all of this information still relevant today?”
Absolutely. Concepts, recommended brokers, tools, methods, all of it applies now, and should for a very long time. If it ever doesn’t, I’ll make the appropriate changes immediately.
“What microphone are you using?”
It’s the Audio Technica ATR-2600. It’s around $60 on Amazon. I’ve been so happy with it, I’ve never felt the need to upgrade.
“What indicator settings are you using on <insert video>”
If you don’t see me go in and tweak the settings on the video, I’m using default settings always.
“I see sometimes you use bar charts, and sometimes you use candlesticks. Which one is better?”
There’s really no difference. I use bars in my trading, but people were saying how they had a hard time seeing them on their screen, so I switched to candlesticks to make it more visible, that was all.
“In Episode 7 of the podcast you talked about trading equipment. Do you have any suggestions for computers?”
The cheaper the better, you don’t need a lot of memory to do this, it’s all very two-dimensional. Browser, MT4, and spreadsheets are really all you need here. But again, you will need more than just a phone. Sorry, that’s just how it goes, I can’t do anything about it.
“You said before you don’t mess with crypto, but now you do. What am I supposed to believe?”
A lot can happen in two years. I’m a money guy at the end of the day, and I think it’s important to know as much as you can about what’s out there available to us. I went in deep on crypto, and liked what I saw. Always be evolving.
“So what do I do if my C1 indicator is doing this, and my baseline says this and my volume….”
You just need to test it out instead of asking for short-cuts.
These scenarios you’re talking about cannot be happening too often, so going back and testing different approaches should take very little time to do.
“You mention bourbon a lot. Any favorites?
Of all time? George T Stagg Fall 2015
When I’m out and about – Bakers 107
Cheapie – Wild Turkey 101
Yeah, I like the hitters. I do drink a lot less than I probably let on — twice a week tops.
“Do you think Forex trading will be around forever?”
Fiat currencies are already on their way out I think, but it will be a very long process, and you will still be able to trade the value of one against the other for much longer than that. There are entire countries which have banned cash, but you can still trade their currencies on the spot market just like you always could.
Just to be safe however, make sure you’re using your time wisely and also learning how to trade things which aren’t going away ever like metals, oil, indices, ETFs, etc.
What you learn here is a transferable skill which you can use in many markets. But I think we as FX traders are pretty safe for the next decade at least.
“I lost all of my money in Forex, and now I am broke. Can you please help me and loan me some money so I can…”
No, stupid question. I’m not a bank, and no bank would be dumb enough to give money to somebody who just took a 100% loss. I did it myself three times, and that version of VP didn’t deserve a loan or a hand-out either. You can either go slow and learn the right way to do it, or come to the realization that you were not cut out for this. This question is region-specific too. Something in the water I guess.
“Can you make your videos shorter/look different/talk faster?”
LOL, I talk slow because trading is international and not everyone watching is a native English speaker. You can speed up every video I have ever made, including the ones on my paid course.
