    The 10 Skills That Will Get You Hired In 2013

    The tech jobs will still be there. They just want the U.S. citizenry to be acclimated to wages closer to what the outsourced jobs are paid after both Bush and now Obama have catered to the corporations. Just train one to be happy being paid a few more dollars than a MCD unit manager.

    2012: The Battle for Survival

    'badvestor: "His primary system is a atrocious losing system to begin with, buying options 3 days from expiry hoping to get a big move in underlying. Unfortunately with current markets low volatility even if underlying moves in his direction, the move is not big enough to offset the horrific...

    Who's making money today?

    Looking at it my take is that BMY will most likely reach 33.97 then could weaken or continue on later to 34.33 MCD could go up to 91.71, or if it drops below 90.0, then most likely tag 89.26

    PFG freezes accounts, CEO attempts suicide

    Almost like the petty dictator of a small country before it all falls apart. Complete with palatial holdings and propaganda arms (the futures magazine). In delusion even in the last days. "Here have some free wine bottles from the liberated segregated customer funds!"

    Al Brooks - Trading Price Action Trends

    I'd wrestled with this concept for a while too. Finally it made the most sense to me this way. An H1 or H2 bar only occurs after some formed countertrend leg. per question of previous post. I wouldn't count bar 50 as an H2 because it's effectively still part of a countertrend leg and it's...

    PFG freezes accounts, CEO attempts suicide

    Singling out a single perpetrator is exactly what Wasendorf and crew want. After his recent marriage, his spouse can be protected somewhat by financial law from bankruptcy proceedings and clawbacks for customer money. Never mind that the CFO never had a cpa and was for 12 years "responsible...

    Rimms 5K layoffs. What did these people do. there must be lots of bloat in corp's

    How true this is. I was IT asst. in a small company. Half of the people were wasting time on their computers. Not just the blue-collared warehouse dept. wasting time surfing and getting the computers infected with viruses from the free porn, but also the so called credit managers and sales...

    2012: The Battle for Survival

    Neke, with your drawdown now 50%, I think it's time you may consider lowering your risk. Instead of risking 10k per position, maybe halve your risked number of contracts. Or maybe go even lower, go for a few hundred profit targets for a while until you've worked out and adapted your trading...

    Beginner option book

    You don't really need to learn any advanced mathematics beyond algebra/geometry and some basic statistics to just trade options. Option decay curves can be affected by multiple variables than just price. More math would probably help more with coding indicators or HFT algos than predicting...

    Best book on trading I've ever read: Lance Beggs YTC Price Action Trader

    Your welcome. Glad I didn't spend more than a month on his material. I tried to convince the guy who has been trying the YTC setups for a year to ditch it, and not really progressing but he's convinced with enough "practice" he'll "get there" like Beggs. Another point is, even if a trade...

    Best book on trading I've ever read: Lance Beggs YTC Price Action Trader

    I tried his stuff. His setups are still vague and don't have a real edge based on the material he gives you. A few people on BMT have journals doing YTC PAT and another guy was trying YTC scalper. I seen one guy spending a year on YTC PAT and he's still struggling convinced he'll get better with...

    Warning: Online Trading Academy (tradingacademy.com)

    For $5k I think a private seminar of no more than 4 or so people for 15-20 hours with a single pro trader (no sales staff, just a sign in secretary or assistant) maybe for two, 2 day weekends, or 10 sessions of 1-2 hours each.

    Best TV Channel and Newspaper for Day Traders?

    Upcoming news events is good to be aware of. Things like a Fed meeting, a Senate hearing, some big earnings, or a dreaded IPO shenanigan, etc. Then the cyclical numbers i.e. ISM numbers, non-farm payroll, oil inventories. Volume bid and ask becomes thin on the DOM the minute before a big news...

    Warning: Online Trading Academy (tradingacademy.com)

    I assumed wrong, but thanks for clarifying and helping me steer away from OTA. I got an OTA ad in the mail. I had never signed up with them. But I had attended a free intro ad webinar of Tom Busby of DTI. They kept sending me spam after spam and then other affiliates which they probably sent...

    New one. www.daytradingthefutures.com I watched an old recording of a Ninjatrader 2011 sponsored video of Jay. He kept talking faster and faster. Then he screwed up and said something to the effect: can't show you my institutional levels and hedge fund levels. They don't come with the...

    Mark Deaton is back with a new website. So much for 3stepislandtrader.com and gorillagaps.com and tons of others. now it's: www.optionsdouble.com a typical long blurb web page of "aweber.com" form. email spam: "I know a powerful system when I see it!" <name> I got this...

    Warning: Online Trading Academy (tradingacademy.com)

    My point mentioning the site was that due to this thread I sought a different avenue for more trading education rather than fall prey to the $5k lost by the OP to an "academy" with a slick website and a roster of nicely done photos of staff worldwide. It's hard enough to find any trading...
