micro second latency is complete bs. the latency in ANY internet connection - if it is direct connection, fibre etc. is higher. You'll need to host your machine in the exchange and without too many hops if you wnat to take advantage. Then you will have th next problem of your broker. The...

a collegue pointed out to me that Google has a new functionality in our country - I do not know if it exists (yet) in other countries. For the past year a van from Google has been driving in our country through every street and filming all the houses on both sides. Now when you go to Google...

Rolled back to 884.8 in a hurry. Am downloading 882, thanks Kiwi-Trader. Holmes

am afraid it is more and more looking like a yahoo message board.... am finding getting more and more being impatient with those who don't show any analysis / critical thinking skills have been disappointed in some long standing members and their outlook on world events it has been...

Grob will be doing well out of that.... Holmes

There is a fatal flaw in that book. Ryan Jones tried to trade it himself, did OK for a while and then (nearly? did not follow it to the end...) blew most of it again. It can be done, Jesse Livermore averaged 150% / week but this was on highly leveraged trades. the problem that you'll have...

Yep. And then there are still those that think "this is far away from our home, why should we get involved". Same as Great Brittain thought before WWII: "They'll never be able to get across the North Sea". Same as the US thought an attack on the US mainland was implausible. How long do...
