still, a real possibility, ya know...

from the depths of my devious mind..;)

rumours of china devaluation over the weekend

annoying feature of Brooks's explanations...he assumes a win rate of 40-60%, but whenever he is explaining a trade, it almost always wins!!! He might show you say 10 trades, 9 of them are of course winning trades lol.

Do you find day trading highly stressful? If you do then tone it down. Too much stress can make you very unhealthy.

do you aim for a 1:1, 2:1 reward/risk ratio or you don't think in terms of that?

both you husband and wife are now on ignore!

Retail investors in the aggregate have fuck all compared to institutions in the aggregate. No institution cares about retail traders' money, there just isn't enough to bother with.

Yawn, this is just ridiculous. The notion that Calpers or any institution would care about retail investors/ traders is barmy. Next you'll be saying they read elitetrader to see where the stops are!

Actually it is. It's called QE. Use google to find out more.

But, but, but... Calpers is an institution!!! Calpers farms its money to different fund managers....it doesn't open a some retail Scottrade account up and deposit $100 billion and start buying stocks....you been drinking, Guile?

Mate, just look on the DOM on the ES or on the bond futures or on forex...do you really think all those thousands of contracts worth billions are from retail investors? Most retail 'players' barely have $10k in their trading accounts! And no, many institutions lose money. They don't all make...

ROFL! I laughed out aloud when i read that! FYI, Covel doesn't trade, whether it be trend following or mean reversion. He doesn't even put any money into any trend following funds. He's like the guy who sells picks and shovels to the gold miners in the gold rush, he doesn't get his hands dirty...

Banks, institutions, hedge funds, HFT do not make money from retail players. They don't care about retail players. Why? Retail players are insignificant in that they don't have any worthwhile money. When i traded on the floor, traders would say that 'paper' was coming in. They meant institutions...

Haha...tbh, there's a thread in the Chit chat section called 'i have had enough of marketsurfer' which rather strangely has some traders posting live calls on the euro...

Problem is that people here seem to define the 'best' traders as those with high win rates.

Sorry to hear, Surf. Kinda enjoyed the TA debate tbh. Apols if i've been overly aggressive or rude (don't think i have, but could be wrong).

Hope you are not holding your breath for an answer! Covel is probably at a snake oil salesman conference, frantically asking other snake oil salesmen on how to reply...

Nice. I thought you were only doing very small amounts per point, but looks like im mistaken.

Volatility in oil prices increased dramatically hence the increase in open interest (increased speculation and hedging). Nothing to do with Jim Rogers. I'm sure he would be amused at the thought that he made oil prices jump around by writing a book. Lol. edit: sorry, forgot the 'lol'
