    Am I trading too risky?

    Well IMHO if you trade above 7:1 leverage then you are going to have 20%+ drawdowns...TOO HIGH When I see people trading 10:1+ leverage I laugh. Those 12% to 17% they are probalby using no leverage. smaller profits but tiny drawdowns. It's what I call professional. What leverage do...

    George Soros Track Record

    I beleive soros is a Macro trader/investor? He is against T.A. completley. He gathers a strong fundmanetal story about an upcoming big trend change and takes a big bet. Not short term and no T.A. to time it. (or very little)

    pure tick is still around?

    Hmm everyone seemed to think they had disappeared but if you go on Google and type in "emini trading system" on the right hand side they have adwords (I'll bet that's costing him $2+ if you click on it...:-) ) Any how they are still around...

    When size is a problem

    sorry you misunderstood. I am not interested in what leverage they offer but when you talked about $5M tradeable without moving the market was this $5m no leverage or $5m with leverage? So if you had a $2m cash acount and used 4X leverage that would be $8m. Is this what you mean? Beause...

    When size is a problem

    OK thx for that. Are we talking WITH leverage or without? -------------------------------------------------- you can easily trade in and out 1MM to 5MM w/o affecting the market. In fact, except for MBT and IB, most of these platforms kinda discourage trading sizes less than 1MM. But with these

    When size is a problem

    well look at Cabletrader with $2,000 Oanda mini account he can scalp like a crazy man...but you could not do this with 7 figures. So your trading style has to change. AND..if you had $1M+ wouldn't you want to focus on the risk a lot more...? I mean 30% on $1M is $300,000. So there's no...

    When size is a problem

    I too am interested in this. I mean six figures getting instant fills is no problem but say you got into managing O.P.M. or your own account got into 7 figures+ at what size do you start running into fill problems? Say you got upto $3M but then with leverage you are buying/selling over $10m...

    Whom do you trust?

    so in that case Symons,Buffet,Soros, etc are also "untrustworthy" because they set up a business of managing O.P.M. ? You guys seme to think traders should only trade their oen money. Anything else is a scam? Right.

    Oanda - Add Your SCAM SCREENS Here

    Yes I am amazed at the ignorance on risk. Anyone using more than 10X leverage is going to have some big drawdowns at the very least. ______________________________ Companies that offer 100:1 or 400:1 margin are appealing to gamblers, not traders. They do it because they understand it is a...
