So is anyone following some of the Trade Leaders on Currensee? It seems that those traders are for real and have a track record back to mid 2011. I see all kinds of interesting equity curves, that is the most valuable information if you want someone to trade your money - what they have actually...

In September 1992, Lewis teamed up with George Soros to bet on the pound crashing out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. The event, which was dubbed Black Wednesday, made Lewis very wealthy, and some say he made more than Soros. ... That's where the money is from - betting the house...

I don't trade FX, but the answer to your question is that leverage neither increases nor reduces your chances for profits. The amount of leverage you use is a personal preference - you increase or decrease the leverage until you can sleep comfortably at night with whatever position you have or...

emg, can you remove those giant wallpapers from your posts here and just leave a couple of sentences with the link to your thread, let's keep this thread clean, thanks! You may even get some useful feedback to your ideas. I am tempted to engage in a discussion about what difference the education...

I see these threads from time to time saying trading is a losers game or perhaps just the opposite - that it can be a highly profitable occupation. I think (day) trading is like selling potatoes on the market. It is not a losers game, I think if you are above average you can get just enough...

Couldn't have said it any better :)

This and the other thread ask the wrong question. Being profitable doesn't mean you "got it". I was profitable from my very first trade and so far never had a losing year. But being profitable from the start I attribute to luck rather than skill. My strategy simply fit the market conditions...

Try this one, surprisingly very few people even with math and CS degrees get it right: How many times faster does the minute hand move relative to the hour hand? Don't write it down, don't google it, and don't spend more than 5 minutes thinking on it :D The answer to your problem is: (...

You cannot prove that prices move randomly. It is not scientifically possible to prove this statement. It is the same as trying to prove that life does not exist in the Universe except on Earth, or that there are no black swans. The only way to prove such statements is to check an infinite...
