    Apparently people don't like making money!

    That for sure is true, but don't understand how that applies in the context of this.

    Apparently people don't like making money!

    Was advised to go long at 1.2980 and so put money why mouth is and bought currency futures and spot fx, yet no-one was interested in understanding why. Was alerted to this one before the current bounce. Same end result, yet if people sell rubbish the masses buy it like crazy, shallow world we...

    Does anyone mentor? (for a fee)

    Everything, but always find sarcasm to be much more beneficial than taking unintelligent comments seriously, which find funny as making money is about using intelligence more efficiently! As that one confused you senseless this one should work even better...

    Does anyone mentor? (for a fee)

    Impressive, the intelligence on these forums is endless! You get out what you put in, if a mentor wants to sell you a service then how much do they make a year, $50k, that's the level of trading capability on offer. Like someone who generates 10%, 20% a month, has capital of $100,000s and above...

    Explosion rocks SpaceX launch site in Florida - TSLA down 5%

    They will look at the ridiculous amounts of data, come to conclusions from it and say, technically everything is fine. Then some bright spark comes along and says, but that just doesn't make sense. The data overrules them, and most of the time the data is correct, until they push the technology...

    Explosion rocks SpaceX launch site in Florida - TSLA down 5%

    @lawrence-lugar - Come on, that's not intelligent. Musk has a simple approach, technology can solve 100% of the problems. The issue is very simple, it can't, you hit limits around 95%. Due to the number of combinations of possibilities it is impossible to code for all scenarios, so they code for...

    Investing in Apple stock...a good idea?

    Only if you're shorting it, the high looks like ~125, all the way down to 60 next target! The Irish tax problem is irrelevant, it's 3months profits. Their problem is a society change and they have no new products coming onstream so trying to move to services to capture more revenue. Here's the...

    Trading: Exhausting!!

    You want exhausting, testing a system developed by some architects that works in multiple dimensions to provide an ever expanding matrix of datasets for analysis on winners/losers and their signals. That's before they start on their neocortex trading system, ay. The 4th fastest computer in the...

    Best Country for Trading (Tax efficiency)

    Schwyz has a population of 15,000, if you use that as a base you are opening yourself to all hell of problems as it's not 'believable' as no one with any sense is going to base themselves there. As already said "very few who have actually done it in practice -without- cutting corners or taking...

    @dw31583 do know via via some people to talk to about this to who specialise in wealth management, corporate structures, property, they know everything about your situation and have experience with Malta, Middle East, Americas, Asia. There are basically two approaches, you pay your dues in your...

    How do you determine trend direction?

    Actually the OP is correct, just because there's a high timeframe move doesn't mean it will go that way. You have waves within waves and if you catch the wrong one even with a high timeframe confirmation it can equally do the same damage. It's about testing whether you, actually the psychology...

    Are stop losses impossible to fully adhere to?

    No, most of the time stops are not directly taken out, it is indirect although both have the same end result so people obviously gravitate to the one that makes them feel better. If it's indirect in most cases it's your inexperience and you have no-one to blame but yourself. Actually if it's...

    for FX traders am I correct in thinking this

    The top 10 banks control 80% of the forex market, however to think they directly stop run is naive. The institutions have resources and processes that very few have access to, it means they can analyse data and trends en masse. The markets are based on human psychology, so most of the time there...

    Easiest way to start coding an automated system

    It always does, but here's the thing. Remember the false positives and false negatives, if you have one of those and an active trade is placed, then a winner comes along but you are in a trade the winner will not fire, and it knocks out the sequence. Take a strategy and hardcode it to starting...

    Easiest way to start coding an automated system

    Many of the standard tools use walkforward, it makes the coding quite complex depending on the scenario, there are specialist quant tools as people have mentioned. The main problem is "easy" and "automated" are not compatible with automation. Automated trading has one problem, getting rid of...

    Do you feel obligated to sharing your proprietary research or advice with strangers? Free Advice?

    Having helped people including family in the past with both time and money, it came to be my turn. A family member threatened to break my jaw because I asked for my money back; an ex-girlfriend who had a tough life so I put her up in a 1bed apartment for 6mths to get her life back on track, she...

    StJude, Block & even the Smartest Being Stupid

    "These guys short and cover most of their position minutes after their reports." agree, doesn't make it right but money is the be all and end all for most. The psychology behind it is quite interesting though. "Doctors determined in January 2007..." "surgery to insert the device was not...

    StJude, Block & even the Smartest Being Stupid

    Apparently so! If people are able to make a public one-sided announcement where the shorting party gains from it being true, hire 'independent' testers who are paid if your trade is profitable, and bypass the defined procedures such as SEC and FDA, you can be sure it's going to be 10x or 100x...

    StJude, Block & even the Smartest Being Stupid

    Watching Bloomberg today with a recorded interview between Schatzker and Carson Block of Muddy Water's. Block was complaining about StJude and their medical equipment has security flaws in the RFID, then added he has a short position on StJude. Any half intelligent person thinks, really, can...
