    This question is for the math guru's

    I must be confused. Why wouldn't you just use the same equation you used to figure out the average range for 10:31 to 10:32? I don't understand why it matters if it's in a larger range if it's not going to affect anything.

    What do I need to trade OPM?

    Or, more specifically, friend's and family's money? It's only with Forex, and it seems like the regulations are very iffy and contradicting. A broker that I am talking to is requesting that I provide him with info about how I'm registered/able to trade this money. Do I need to be certified...

    Seriously! Most people in this thread are either recommending brokers or are LOOKING for a broker. You come in here and say they 'took' 20K from you without a story?

    Best single-strategy backtesting software?

    Not concerned with portfolio-testing at all. Seems like a lot of new systems out from when I looked last. Just looking for the most accurate (and reliable) backtesting software. I'd like to be able to test on a wide range of markets, and obviously the quality of data is a concern (if I can't...

    DAX contract value/point value

    Newb question, but I'm having a hard time with more information. Is each DAX contract just worth 7,xxx.00 or is it for 5, or 10 units of the current DAX? Also, how much is each "point" worth? I'm coming from currencies. One "lot" or contract is 100K. Each point is .0001 (pip). Do I have to be...

    Systems Trader turned discretionary

    Not all of them. Obviously if you do a few hundred pips a month based on the 1 hour chart that could equate to 3%~ a month. Now, lets say you trade the SAME system on the 1 minute where you essentially trade 60x more. You would obviously tone down your leverage to the point where you expect...

    how do scalpers deal with commission

    Scalping for that kind of profit target is indeed as difficult as it sounds. I consider myself a scalper but shoot for +10.

    Daytrading based soley on technicals in nyse is stupid...

    I have come to the conclusion that people with one post who come to troll and proclaim that a widely used method does not work usually don't have the slightest clue as to what they're talking about. Technical=not just indicators.

    GBP/USD forex live trade just entered.

    One thing I've sort of never been able to grasp is.. why set your profit based on round numbers? Makes no sense to me. Why not place your stop at or below some peaks and troughs? Or your t/p at a place of resistence/support? Just curious :)

    Selling systems I developed to hedge fund

    Sorry if this has already been answered. Why don't you get it programmed and let it trade by itself? Seems like a waste to me.
