Mav, don't let some of these rude people get to you. They want you to spoon feed them everything. You don't owe anybody on here anything.

Live testing or it doesn't mean shit. You test strategies with live trading using small size first. Back testing is a joke. Maybe to brainstorm if anything.

yen trade gone wrong...damnit

It was a nursing home source: I was there

euro will be at 1.15 in before the end of they year

Mav, would you be looking to load or have already loaded on the yen crosses at these levels?

Again, why does anyone owe you an explanation? I don't get it. LOL. If you've tried and failed...simply leave...don't draw attention to yourself.

Why does anyone owe you an explanation? Why do you feel entitled to it? This is hilarious. You say that you say and they say what they'll say.

] surf's a known troll on ET. Don't mind him. If you click on his posts, you'll see his other works of "genius."

Why are you bringing your personal "experience" on the stability of each platform and bias into this discussion. Who cares about your personal experience; it does not refelect OP's experience. You may not have a problem with running TWS on OSX, but he is. I could care less if you use mac or...

To become a successful RIA, don't you need a solid book of clients already? How would he even start getting clients. I'd assume that would be the biggest challenge. Teaching at a university sounds like a great idea though.

Nah pretty sure Ackerman's got this

the money's got to come from somewhere...they're making money off each other. the average retail investors do not have "billions" for them to take.

Mav, let me pick your brain a bit. Do the A values stay constant or do you use a % of ATR to include volatility in the calculation in some way or form. Also, A values are symmetrical for up and down, or can they vary as well? Thank you.

Hey Mav, do you still find pivots useful in this overall strategy? Also, if you don't mind sharing some insights, where would one even start calculating the 30-day number line since it's a rolling period? Thanks in advance.

I have an account with IB, they are covered by SIPC, although fx is not. I don't just trade fx; I was merely making a point that 1:50 leverage is too much. I trade mainly stocks and some FX and futures. I don't stay up at night worrying that IB will collapse under while I have a position open in FX.
