Everyone on ET trades 100:1 leverage. Wins 90% of the time and makes 500%+ per annum. Drawdowns..risk contro..that's for pussies.

Unbelievable. A Piker calling a multi-billionaire fund manger a loser....I've read it all.

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...

LOL I never trade above 6:1 margin...it's called "risk control" you should try it. 100:1....oh well you'll be out of the game in a few weeks.

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)

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...

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...

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

wow........that's BIG Thx ------------------------------------------------- so 3,000 contracts would be 300 million units of base currency.

avery he was joking (i think) any way I am not interested in his peronal account but he was being humerous here. -------------------------------------------------- You're not made of money? One would have thought you would be swimming in cash by the way you post as if you are...

LOL OK fair enough. _______________________________ $2,000, oh come on, I'm not made of money! I'm a poor daytrading scalper trying to earn a crust....... _______________________________ When you say 3,000 contrats.....what do you mean in forex? This is spot forex right not...

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...

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...

First learn about risk management then learn to trade.... you clearly know neither. Let's see you wanted to turn $100 ino $250,000 by xmas.....LOL

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.

good traders "trade" not write blogs.

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...

yes ok but who? Seems every broker has bad reviews... ------------------------------------------------- Go with an ECN based broker if you want to trade spot fx or you will truely regret!!!

yeah he's a demo trader then comes on here tellnig everyone how much he makes, etc...jack ass! -------------------------------------------------- I've seen a few of cabletrader's posts over the past few months. Most of them indicate that he doesn't actually trade. The one you're...

so is there a solutiuon to it? why not stop syphon off $100billion on wars budget for a start? Stop immigration. The UK is even worse! --------------------------------------------------- well, we still have massive 'guest' worker programs the country that's a dumping ground...
