Fun post! For me, 1:1 is a no-go and I thought it was an interesting tell when he upped to $12. The very fact that he was willing to increase his offer intrigued me to see how far he'd go before possibly accepting. Not sure I would've managed to get to $20 (depends on the actual conversation we...

That says it all, doesn't it? ;) Personally I only heard about it indirectly, mentioned in one of their webinars. lmgtfy.com? You Sir, just made my day!

Great innovation, thank you! ...and it works very well for multiples as well, which involved a lot of manual work to get right before.

Yes, counterparty risk is a big reason why I'm shifting my currency intentions from Forex to futures. Also, with futures you have reliable volume/depth-of-market data and there's no margin interest cost while you hold positions. Commissions though, might be cheaper on the Forex side (at least...

There are many prop floors of various flavours around Toronto. For example http://www.bbssecurities.com/proprietary-trading (I think they're related to Virtual Traders). More about Forex on a smaller scale, Blue Point: https://www.blue-point-trading.com/offices/ontario-canada takes the...

Yes I always wondered why they had 4 levels instead of just one, if we can "ask our manager" for more leverage when we've been live long enough. They even said in interviews that they favor the smaller combine winners because "it shows risk awareness". The reason I'm eyeing the 150K for now...

I'll pile on... ;) Apples and oranges. If we weed out those who reach live trading by chance (they'll drop from live trading soon enough), you're left with a major difference between a retail account and TST live trading: all the mistakes people make in the weeks of mandatory simulator, they...

Just a note: I'm not in the USA. Here (Canada) it makes absolutely no difference to day trade for an entity or oneself, as it is "independent normal income" either way. You need to hold positions for more than 30 days, and do something else for the majority of your income-generating time...

Not as well-documented. I'll gather a few more in the coming week(s) and report back here. :)

It's my own blend of Morge/Wyckoff with an eye on Adam H. Grimes, who's very grounded when it comes to avoiding being fooled by randomness. I keep an eye on key levels as well (previous day's high/low and few others) to see how we behave when we get there. What I've boiled down my vision to...

I have, before asking. :) Amazing, right? One could argue perhaps, that his point of view might be outdated. That sounds wrong... (English, second language.) What I mean is, given that the bulk of his vast experience dates back to the pits era, perhaps he's less disposed to adapt enough to...

Care to elaborate?

I'm back to experimenting with historical replays right now so the feel's not quite the same, but just to throw in a different kind of flavor, here's one on a setup I'm working on. My initial stop-loss is where I consider the reason for the trade to be invalidated and I never move it against...

Seriously, my next pet project's gonna have to be R... Looks like there's a sh-tload of fun to have with this stuff! (And in case anyone's wondering, I don't mean that sarcastically. I may have no diploma, but I still enjoy my math.) While I agree that Surf is spellcheck-adverse, in this...

Probably correlogram, a.k.a. autocorrelation plot in statistical analysis:

I'm here for the occasional gem that I would otherwise miss, as part of my development process. It isn't the bulk of my time. I hold no beliefs when it comes to how complex markets operate, except that my understanding is incomplete by default, and will never be perfect, although it will...

Again, your definition of "technical analysis" doesn't fit the mainstream, and you're confusing complexity with impossibility. Drawn manually or graphed automatically, if it's calculated based on a time series, it's technical analysis. I'm not saying that Wyckoff's tape reading methods can be...

Thanks for ignoring the important part of the message to focus on something to quickly dismiss. Unfortunately, you're missing the point here as well. A technical calculation doesn't have to be printed on a chart and reviewed by a human being. MACD is MACD whether it's on a chart or in an...

I'll poke the bear here... ;) Here's where I respectfully take issue with your general stance, which as you know I don't have a fully-formed opinion on: you have yet to produce credible evidence of failure, to reuse terms seen above. Cautionary tales yes, proof no. It's a lot harder to...

Could you please elaborate on that? You were given a target in LTP which is the only reason they sent you back to the combine both times?
