    The loneliness of success

    i say this might be ok, its probably better than a 50/50 trade, but its not good enough, its still too close to 50/50, ill wait for a setup that looks stronger and more certain. the trading day ends, and it never comes. this goes on and on.

    i dont know. im just saying why we hesitate, because the market doesnt ever really give you the same look twice.

    The loneliness of success

    i vote lets discuss my flawless setup. :cool: that setup is the grail but really i cant find it often. the probability of success (risk below signal bar, target 1x or more risk) is likely upwards of 70%.

    The loneliness of success

    imo hesitation in general is a result of the market never being the same twice. meaning, context + setup are never the same twice. in order for that to happen every trader in the world would have to make the same exact trades at the same exact time to produce the same two exact setups twice. i...

    Holy Cow! Velocity commisions just became a joke!

    bottom line, it was ok for velocity to charge what the did all these years, now its not ok. notice the radio silence from our resident velocity representative. because their marketing is a joke. its not FREE anymore, stop saying its FREE.

    Holy Cow! Velocity commisions just became a joke!

    and did tt increase there licence fee's by 50% that they needed to pass on to there traders? umm, probably not. again, they raise rates by 50% and give no reason why while at the same time advertise FREE xtrader. if you ask me, thats very unethical, they need to reconsider how they do...

    Holy Cow! Velocity commisions just became a joke!

    are you pulling this number out of your butt? no way are they paying 800 per user. they would be out of business. i thought you were knowledgeable about this business, apparently you're not, you are just another moron that spews stupid nonsense.

    Holy Cow! Velocity commisions just became a joke!

    if you're advertising xtrader (free) then i think they should stop saying that because its misleading and clearly not free with added fee's and insane rates.

    Better off as a plumber?

    80k secure 2 years school i see no complacency here. better word is probably... steady. vast majority of people with masters degrees in business for 15 years dont make 80k. those are just the facts sir.

    Better off as a plumber?

    of course, because they have to spend 70 of that on gas to get to your house. :eek: and another 30 on a pack of cigarettes. (slight exaggeration) :cool:

    Does Apple prove that the stock market can be a total joke?

    there are probably 100 different ways to 'value' a company. you said market cap is not the 'real' or 'true' value. lol, do you think some freaking ratio out of text book is the 'real' or 'true' value of a company. what im saying to you is that market cap takes every god damn single...

    Does Apple prove that the stock market can be a total joke?

    it sounds like what you're saying is stock trading on the secondary market is just some kind of gimmicky game that means nothing. like its not tied to any reality. my point is, if i own 1 share of apple, then guess what, i own a piece of the company. thats not fake, its real, i really do own...

    Does Apple prove that the stock market can be a total joke?

    if a buyout firm approached apple about a few months ago when market cap was 700 billion and offered to take the company private for 500 billion, it could not and would not ever happen because no shareholder would approve that deal. now, on the other hand, yes it could happen. so the point...

    Does Apple prove that the stock market can be a total joke?

    im not going to get into the bear story. it was a complicated situation orchestrated by the fed. it doesn't apply here. no shareholder would accept a lower offer from a buyer than the current market price. why would they, they would be throwing money away. it doesn't happen. which is why its...
