    10 Pips Per Day - Everyday

    I definitely would not start with futures or forex, however I migrated to them after being bored w/ stocks and long options (too many factors change price) Forex is definately not a scam-I read it will be regulated in 2009, I also trade currency futures which are regulated. Also certain...

    10 Pips Per Day - Everyday

    Yikes! I trade forex daily and use both daily pivots and fibonacci. I use them because so many do but I place my orders either above or below the pivot or S/R lines because they often whipsaw around the pivots. I go for more than 10 pips a day so I cant tell you what this person does, also I...

    is it possible to scalp the NQ??

    I used a 1min and a five min and (i am not at all saying this is the correct way to do it) say the histogram was showing a short signal below 1, when this began to weaken, 2 or three consecutive weaker bars I would buy, with a very tight stop. (or short opposite)

    How to Raise Capital?

    how is it "quasi-automated" and "no touch" anyhow, a hedge fund cannot market itself or advertise. You can have one offering but you cannot consistently sell to others.

    Ohhhh Jim Cramer!!! Not another blowup!!! Again???

    I think Cramers lure is that he does not come off as intelligent as he is, he seems like an every day guy and probably is. The sad part is all of the people who religiously buy what he says after hours and next day. Many of these people follow him blindly and I believe he advises against that.

    is it possible to scalp the NQ??

    I used 10 pt stop and 7 point profit target. I believe 7 points is outside of many traders' scalping definitions.

    Performance report and verification

    Think very hard if you want to deal with all of the issues that will come up when managing other peoples money. It may not be worth it at all. If you could continue doing what you did this year with half the returns and no stress of fund running. go this route instead.

    The Dementia of the Rich and Famous

    This is not absurd, this kind of "news" benefits no one but maybe spears' sister. Yet even legitimate news outlets cover this: reuters, ap. I do not want my homepage to tell me that some white trash popo star snorted coke off a toilet seat or "itched" herself. I wish I could erase this...
