nice work on uaua and rti...you caught those before I did (rti wasn't even on my radar)

It's worth looking into. Look, you tripled your capital in a very short period of time, you obviously were/are doing something right and only right now is the technique not working perfectly. I have never used a moving average with my capital...I keep it more basic. The idea is to be trading...

You do trade rather large. Do you continue to reduce your position size as you continue in a drawdown? Equtiy curve trading? If not, look into it. Look, your systems aren't going to work every week or every month. We are in a rotational period in the markets and alot of guys (even us...

I have had some poor execution on various futures orders. Also, their accounting for fx (not currency futures) positions is total shit. I can't put it any other way. There are a couple of accounting columns for fx positions in the account tab in TWS and their employees told me that only one...

I currently trade with IB. Not really that pleased... I need access to All global futures as well, so this excludes firms like Tradestation or Thinkorswim and the like. I see that I can trade all of these markets on Goldman's Redi Plus platform. Can anybody review this platform for me? I...

Thanks Rashid, "Last" is the most recent price? And do you find it helpful to pyramid into your positions or do you just put your position on in one move? Thanks. wallnbroad

Redi Plus....that's the platform that clears through Goldman, correct? Aside from Goldman, I know you can gain access to it through Northpoint Trading Partners...any others you know of? Thanks.

Rashid, What sort of risk management and position sizing do you use? I read that you take a max of 3% loss in a position. Do you pyramid into your positions at all? Why/why not? A pleasure reading your journal. Best, wallnbroad

Do you really like trading from home? I have been trading from home for the last 2 years and am just about to move into a small office downtown. I just feel like I will be able to concentrate and have less distraction there.

Trackstar has it. Probably the single best advice on ET. Listen well.

I meet with a small group every other week...we speak mostly to the factors of psychology on trading. Some of you might know exactly what I am involved in. We have found that there really is a true ceiling to the amount of people involved in any group. 4-5 really is the sweet spot. Any more...

35%/yr w/ a 1% DD? That's asking alot

What fundamentals are you citing when you say "fundamentals = down"?

yes and no. My trading fluctuates from long term to shorter term. When I am trading shorter term, have alot of positions on, and trading FX then I am up every few hours through the night as well as keeping my eye on markets all day. Other times I can take a vacation for a week and everything is...

I used to live in San Luis Obispo.... I trade currencies, futures and stocks.

Self-Promotor would be an understatement. I got your book for christmas and made my sister-in-law return it and get her money back. You're a hack.

I just trade independently from home. I'm not with a prop firm or anything. There are some office buildings that specialize in "shared space" down near Protrero Hill...you can get a cubicle for about 400-500/month. I thought It would be nice to get something a little nicer/bigger than a...

It's a little bit of an irritation that you can't log in until noon on Sundays....but whats more irritating is the currency account management on tws. The fact that only the "cash" column is accurate, only one out of eight account management columns is accurate? IB is not a great forex...

I am an full-time independent trader in San Francisco. The only down side to my job is that I work from home and frankly it gets lonely. I am looking for some office space to share, but ideally I would love to share some space with other traders in the same line of work. Does anybody live in the...
