    It's not important where the data is; the truth is that, it's a reality. The only place, where everyone is winning, is here in ET. For instance, claiming that someone achieves 85% to 90% of win rate "daytrading" stocks or forex, for me and for what I'm used to see, seems quite absurd (100+...

    MTA's CMT or IFTA's CFTe

    Everyone thinks that they are joining a team... The Fundamental vs Technical... Nonsense!!!! I've been working in the investment banking for almost 12 years, and if you're a CMT or CFA doesn't matter most, just get those stocks in the clients portfolio... Technicals ride the short-term and...
