    Venezuela inflation to reach 1000,000 %

    Of course the actual Lefty utopia is,.... "everybody poor except the ruling elite". And not just Venezuela... everywhere around the world... including America! After having seen this play before, it's a bit surprising that half of Americans are dumb enough sheeple to fall for it* here. *But...

    Venezuela inflation to reach 1000,000 %

    When Turkey officially devalued in 2005(?), they lopped off 6 zeros. Likely more of the same to come for Venezuela.

    IB and AMP - are fills similar ?

    Sim could simulate getting filled immediately... as though your order is #1 in the queue. In reality, however, your order will likely be "somewhere down the line" at the price and won't get filled until the orders in front of you get filled. You can't rely upon your order being filled just...

    What is the diff between real and simulated trading ?

    The only value of sim is to highlight that which doesn't work. When you find an approach that appears to work in sim, try it out with small, real $$$.... see how your gut and brain hold up. Adjust from there.

    The secret of daytrading

    There is no "secret" to day trading. It's exactly the same as other trading... only shorter time frames. There are the exact same number of "advancing" and "declining" phases for any market over any time frame. Only diff is the magnitude. What do you do with that info?

    Success stories: From 2K to 430K

    That will be rare as hen's teeth. Years ago when I was an RIA, my returns were highlighted in the Denver Business Journal. I didn't advertise them myself, but a person I knew at the magazine put together a story that went something like, "Local Adviser Stomps Returns Of Local Mutual Funds"...

    Volume? as a criteria

    "...5000 CT's per 5 minute bar." How can you be using both "contracts/bar" and "minutes" in the same 5-minute bar. Isn't it one or the other?

    How to Identify Choppy conditions

    The notion and parameters of "chop" are subjective. When the frequency of direction change becomes too high and the magnitude of moves become too small for your method to handle.... that's chop. Some of what one trader describes as chop is tradable by another. (Traders should not try to avoid...

    Why are Libs such racists?

    Libs are racist because they realize their agenda "doesn't fly" with "we're all in it together America". So... they have to build a "coalition of support" from various groups. That is, blacks, Hispanics, single women, women in general, queers, transgenders, muslims, et all. The Left/Lib...

    who can be the best Mentor

    Whoa.... that leaves open the notion, "I'm better than all of you dumb fucks, sociopath". Surely that's not the case?? I question this because in the thread about "25 Points of Trading Discipline", you "called BULLSHIT" on all points. "EVERY point the other buy made" is BS, and yours is the...

    You're an argumentative bastard, aren't you? Were you a lawyer before taking on the markets?

    who can be the best Mentor

    "...any one who would be interested probably would do it for free + as i said before, would subsidize the sucker..." Up there with unicorns? Think he might find that on ET?

    who can be the best Mentor

    Any trader who has done that will have little interest in bringing along a noob for $10K. If one is hoping to find a successful trader who'd altruistically inclined to spend the time to teach someone, that's different... but $10k is no incentive at all.

    who can be the best Mentor

    Like I said, "no upside". Unlikely a quality trader would bother for your $10K. (The distraction of dealing with your needs would likely cost him more in lost profit opportunities than what you'd pay him.... so he wouldn't bother.) Sorry. Anyone who would take your $10K for mentoring is...

    who can be the best Mentor

    There is no upside to anyone who is good at trading mentoring for free or for cheap. You're fishin' in a dry hole.

    No, one-third of African Americans don’t support Trump. Not even close

    If they don't, they should. "Poor blacks have been voting Democrat for the last 60 years and they're still poor". -- Charles Barkely
