I have a TT X Trader Pro screen up as we speak. I currently have eight open spread positions and have accounts at multiple FCMs. Care to place a wager otherwise ? I talk about my open positions and my entries multiple times each day with my clients using live webinars. I am sure if this was...
Floor Brokers have been cheating customers way before HFT. Look at the NFA sanction pages. Multi-million dollar fines and sanctions from thirty years ago - and beyond. IMO, Floor Brokers are far more prone to cheat - because they have a captive pool of clients completely reliant upon them for...
Please do not do anything impulsive in terms of spending or investing.
Maybe travel to someplace distant and new enough to you so that you can clear your head and relax. Give yourself a "grace period" - maybe six months, where you don't do anything beyond "X" with spending or investing...
So, now I'm being trolled by an angry drunk ?
Any rational person could see how trading excites dopamine production in the brain - and how that can easily stimulate addictive behaviors that could be destructive for certain people.
Actually, you have been proven empirically as an outstanding contrarian indicator. You've made it ! You have an excellent track record and are worthy of being published and promoted in the media ! Fading you since early December 2011 has been GOLDEN.
One day of data, with no drawdowns and no losers, using SIM data but you say you were concerned about reality but when presented with reality you said never mind. And you have the world's best performing system and the very first absolute in trading. But you don't want to be bothered with...
As an official big mouth asshole with a Trading Technologies platform and a dedicated high speed line who has a live ES order book up at all times, let me burst your SIM bubble: 1. They all go at once in the ES order book. You will never get the chance to be a "fellow consumer" at that price...
Since you have officially conjoined the terms 'SIM' and 'absolute' and 'trading system' in the same breath, please join the company of Lucias and GrandSuperCycle in that case.
I used to hedge Commonwealth Edison's forward electricity production and fuels requirement portfolio in the 90's.
From my experience, commercial hedging fails at the design and conception stage - pure and simple.
No, because there is no such thing. I reject the core assumption. There are no absolutes in trading. If you need absolutes, you are most definitely in the wrong business.
From Psychology Today: "Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's reward and pleasure centers. Dopamine also helps regulate movement and emotional responses, and it enables us not only to see rewards, but to take action to move toward them."
I personally don't like the idea of going "cold turkey" and quitting a successful system outright if the client relies upon that trading system to pay the bills and support himself and / or a family.
At least half of my clients come to me as successful traders looking to learn a specialty. I...
Quotes from the CIA document you referenced: "The protection of property rights is still weak and the private sector remains subject to heavy state interference."
"Russia's long-term challenges include a shrinking workforce, a high level of corruption, difficulty in accessing capital for...
How do you come to that conclusion ? Based upon previous market levels ? If that is the case, did your conclusion take into consideration the yields available from other equity markets and the fixed income sector during those previous historical timeframes - in other words, a legitimate...
Exactly. And markets never correct and consolidate and random walk and trends don't fail off and and trailing stops never get taken out until you feel comfy with all the profit you've accumulated with positive marks in your account on open positions.
Actually, I was never trying to "call" anything - my only real goal has been to illustrate how completely wrong and lacking your "technical analysis" skillset and interpretation truly is.
Turns out that you are a really, really good fade.
