Hello Ashraf, I am glad to read your book and it shows factors affect the fx market, I personal like it a lot! ppl always have different judgement at the same price at same time for the same currency pair, so does the book, that is why I dont read any comment before buying this book, and only I know if the book is good for myself or not. Also I was quite shocked to see some ppl want to see your P/L, since if a writer is trading in the market, how could he/she has time to write the book? only when he/she is or has.... :)

anyway, it was a good book to read over the christmas, and wish you happy new year!

Ashraf, oops I see I was reading Ron Insana foreward. That makes a lot more sense, I couldn't see you as an american, more from an english public school education. Shame I know more about Ron Insana from your book than about you. Mind you I might have missed the real Ashraf but I am usually pretty good at guessing. One of the things I want to do over the holiday period is to finish the book beyond a quick skim. (and yes I caught pg 251 that tells me almost nothing about youuuu, the underlying structure of AL) Next edition should include !

Crystal Bowl, whether Ashraf trades himself or not is not terribly relevant because his calls for broad direction are already well proven valuable and it is not in his CMC remit to get involved in specific trade management. I can't imagine why he or anyone else should show you their personal accounts. Damned if I would, tantamount to an invitation for trouble. His workshop is on the back of a proven track record.

Thank you
I would rather see your P/L, as the country flag you live in suggest, northern hemisphere people do have a "pinch of salt" in their pockets for every occasions. Therefore, I would rather see your P/L, Sharpe ratio etc before getting lighter on the dime.

no buying cat in the bag, sorry

Crystal, glad the IMTs provide you with "pure fun enjoyment". Why don't you go to my seminar and I ll tell you exactly what I do. You may find more than fun and enjoyment out of it.

Lol, Mr Laidi, I have been reading your intraday market thoughts for about a year now, since I keep finding them in my mailbox, with pure fun-enjoyment.
I have 1 question: Do you actually have your own trading account, or you only a writer powered by CMC Markets?

Lets have some idea.

Kind Regards

Reason I price things in USD is purely logistical purposes.

Dave, US is not my childhood country.

Chloe, the reason I extended the course to a full day from the initially planned 4 hrs is to accommodate an audience of diverse background and experience. This is the 4th paid I course I offer over the last 3 years. I've done 3 via CMC. That's the first one I do w/ AshrafLaidi.com, which means my approach tends to be somewhat more aggressive and the session will reach out beyond CMC clientele worldwide. Those who have followed my analysis for at least 6-9 months will get the most out of this course as they will better absorb the material + apply my thinking to the day to day market flows.

Cloe, lol, good luck my friend. I dont like the market action now. Shan't trade "properly" until after the new year except some scalps.

referring to your Q to Ashraf, if you look at his testimonial guys they are all young bucks compared to me :-) Not only professional fund managers ! I would like to make his one day sesion in London so might see you there ? Not sure if I can drag myself out of Cornwall, depends on the weather for 6 hr car drive :-)
