On a positive note no matter how bad you feel you CAN feel better even if you don’t think it’s possible at the time. If anyone out there is feeling depressed or worse then dont be afraid to seek help and tell others, there is no shame in it. Changing your lifestyle, diet and exercise along with...

in all these 'trade from a tax haven paradise' thread variants I share the following: 1. as humans we crave both urban excitement and a quiet place in connection with nature. To be truly satisfied imo you need to split your time between a high end urban area and a sparsely populated countryside...

Personally I don't want any hand holding but that's just me. Hope all is good in Surfland. GT

A few points: IB is only good if you don't need any help, you have to know what you are doing IB has tiered customer service. If you have sufficient money in your account you will get better service but they still wont hand hold. IB play fast and loose with margins they dont give a fuck about...

most experienced traders know when they should bank and when they should cut the key is actually doing both in real time without hesitation. Losing traders tend to hold for the moon instead of banking at key points after a swift move in their favour. They also like to hold onto losers and...

yes it would be. I am able to establish price ranges from charts and without charts.

That's cool different opinions are fine that is the essence of a market. I maintain that the majority of institutional traders are price sensitive, the non price sensitive traders who are typically hedgers and utility traders are a small subset of these. Typically the client will want to hedge...
