    Birth of a trader

    You're onto something: you have to find a trading system/style that fits with your personality, otherwise you'll find a way to mess it up. As for backtesting, keep in mind the maximum drawdown, that with automated systems and real money on the line tends to affect people more than the number...

    The insanity of European property markets

    Haven't heard about this in Spain, do you have a link/source? Thanks [What I've read about is banks taking possession of developers' unsold properties and renting them out with a purchase option (i.e. have a 5-year window in which the tenant can decide to purchase the property and have the...

    The insanity of European property markets

    GOC, if I may offer my view - without you getting upset, I hope :) 1) Yes, prices should be way lower, if adjusted to the historical average salary/average house price ratio, probably about 60% lower. However, in Spain, you and your spouse answer for your mortgage with all present <i>and...

    I'm a translator. I switched the corporate life for the work-at-home-in-your-underwear life :D :p So I have no (major) schedule problems; if I have a tight deadline I simply skip a day or two of trading. I wouldn't be in a hurry to quit your job, success in trading always looks tantalizingly...

    BlueStreek, Thank you for the pointer. Normally I don't put on trades after 1:00 CST (live) or after the close (sim). I saw some weakness in the euro and I thought equities were going to correct some before the long weekend (basically day traders in the green for the day). The point of...

    We had a previous gap at 1196.50 ES Dec that we've already filled. We have today's gap below at 1179.25 (for a fill) or 1186.75 for a test of its edge. However, so far we're having a strong trend day and now comes into play the 4-day weekend, so good luck making a call here :)

    You may be right, either way, I'd be surprised if we stay right here - in the middle of nowhere. I'd say, it's going to follow equities, up or down.
