Acronym Dictionary

Post by SteveHopwood »

Post your definitions here and we can add them as we go along:

ASAP = Always Say A Prayer
BE = Break Even
BO = Break Out
Bless! = Anthesis of Curses
BRN = Big Round Number (1.5000, 1.4000) also see RN
CBI = Central Bank Intervention
Criminals (Crims) = B-r-okers. (the software here automatically changes 'b-rokers' into 'criminals') Not really an acronym, more a reflection of reality.
DIMWIT = CRETIN, FATHEAD, MORON, IDIOT, ASSCLOWN, and most other gratuitous abuse = Twee.
DUG - Damn User Guide, as in "Read the DUG, that is what it is there for."
EA = Expert Advisor
FF = Friggin Failure
FIFO - First In, First Out: the latest trick up the sleeve of US crims. More accurate is probably Fucked on the way In, Fucked on the way Out.
F--K YOU money: because you can literally afford to say that to whomever you please when you have that kind of cheddar.
FX = FOREX: Foreign Exchange
GNP = Great Newbie Post - rarer than Hens' Teeth.
GTFO = When only a complete idiot with 20/400 eyesight would hold, it's time to Get The Fuck Out.
HAMP = Hit And Miss Programmer (i.e. Steve). Also see PP.
HNIC = Steve
Indi = Indicator
JSL = Jumping Stop Loss
LUC = Law of Unintended Consequences. What happens when a change to the code here, causes a surprising effect there. Happens all the time in my bots.
MM = Money Management.
MPTM (mptm) = Multi-Purpose Trade Manager, available at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... p=516#p516.
MTF - Multiple Time Frames
OCCD = Obsessive Compulsive Coding Disorder.
OCO = One Cancel the Other
OOTB = Out of the Box. Default settings.
PA = Price Action i.e. market movement.
PCA = Power Crazed Admin.
PCM = Power Crazed Moderator.
PO - Pending Order
PP = Proper Programmer, like George and sq. Also see HAMP and TIG.
RNP = Reasonable NewbiePost: as rare as Hens' Teeth.
RN = Round Number (1.5500, 1.4500) also see BRN
RTFTFYMD - Read The Fucking Thread First You Mindless Dimwit
RTFM = Read the F***ing Manual
RTTF - Read The Thread First
SL = Stop Loss
SHF = SteveHopwoodForex
SNP = Stupid Newbie Post: the norm.
TGBTG = To God Be The Glory
TIB - The Incomparable Bob
TIG - The Incomparable George, also see PP and HAMP
TIT: The Idiot Twee. Also see DIMWIT
TF - Time Frame
TL (also TS) = Trailing Stop
TP = Take Profit
UPL = Unrealized Profit/Loss
WTF = Why Trade Forex
Read the effing manual, ok?

Afterprime is the official SHF broker. Read about them at https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=175790#p175790.

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. [email protected] is the account.

Have you seen what happens when you try to type b-r-okers without the hyphens into a post? Try it. Erwin did this for me.

Without the hyphens, b-r-okers becomes brokers. :lol:

PA = Price Action
If you can never exceed your own expectations - why expect second-best?
