I think the internet is the wrong place to ask about winning traders. Go look on Twitter, everyone seems to be making $10k - $50k a day as if it was a walk in the park. Having said that, the 90% figure, if correct, is somewhat disingenuous because you have to take into account the actual number...

Everyone looking for that elusive edge, either looks too hard in the wrong places or thinks computer power is the answer. The answer lies right in front of you and it's as simple as can be - THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND. That's stood since the beginning of intelligent human life and it will...

Computers can't understand either context or character (of price action) so they'll never in our lifetimes be able to out-perform a good human trader. Of course they can outperform humans in the micro second world. That's their forte.

It's the little things that often make the difference when running a trading operation. You have to make sure this doesn't happen again. I use the alarms in Outlook to make sure. They're great because they can be setup for years in advance. PS. I made the same mistake a few years back!

One of the hardest questions in finance/investment right now is when do I buy Bitcoin? Bitcoin is being slowly cornered if you haven't already worked it out. And every day less Bitcoin is available on the free-float as buyers lock their Bitcoin away taking supply off the market. It's fine to...

If any moron thinks having back doors to all our tech is worthwhile to 'help keep us safe' then why stop there if you're 'doing nothing wrong'. Let's put cameras in your home a la 1984. If you're 'doing nothing wrong' why would you object to it? It always starts out small, then grows from...

High margin is generally a good feature in a broker as it protects yourself from having too larger positions, and also protects your money held with the broker because nutcase clients can't take the brokerage down. Yes, I know there's insurance on client money held at brokers (up to a certain...

You can always rely on the internet for a charming comment. PS. It's actually you're, not your.

With the heavily connected tech world we live in it's going to get harder and harder to evade taxes. I would think the IRS can tap your name into a computer and boom, EVERYTHING is recorded and tracked. Who your contacts are, who you phone/text, where you drive or go on business, real-time...

Bitcoin is slowly being cornered if you haven't already worked it out. PTJ is right, there's never been an 'asset' like BTC where we know 100% for sure what the TOTAL supply is and can ever be. 21m coins in total 18.5m already been mined Estimates of 2m-4m been lost (easy to lose in the...

There probably isn't one. Crude doesn't attract a lot of fast paced running news like FX or stocks.

Revolut are often very funny when it comes to sending money to brokers. They really don't like Bitcoin brokers for example.

Perhaps your problem is putting Windows into Lock (or even worse Hibernate). Whenever I've done something like that, it normally doesn't work out so well. If locking your computer, without turning it off, is important to you, why not look at some of the other ideas to locking such as with your...

If you're a big market making firm offering markets for big traders/funds you're always at risk of being massively picked off as they might know far more than you (legal information, not insider). So the spreads have to be wider to take account of this, perhaps 60-70. But no retail client...

Yep, retail orders getting routed through say Citadel get better fills than if they used the big market. That's what everyone seems to get wrong with HFT, it's a win-win-win for everyone involved (firm selling the order flow, market-maker, and client).

Try using DisplayFusion, it might work better in controlling the monitors.

A) Yes Dev, I'm not that sophisticated when it comes to Twitter use! B) And yes Dev, I agree again, Twitter is probably the best sources for getting news quicker these days.

But even then it's far too late as the Twitter reading Algos will get the news far quicker than any human. Plus, do you really want to spend all day every day pushing 'Refresh' (about 18,000+ times a day!) on a browser for 1 tweet out of 20 that may or may not move the market in a direction...

By the time you'll hear the news it won't help you one bit because the move will have already happened. Use the assumption that you'll be at least 1min behind (exception for econonmic releases). As others have said, listening to the news will probably hurt more than it will help. Take the Trump...

Give it a year, then I'll think you'll start to hear of brokers accepting Bitcoin as collateral. There's A LOT of money held within Bitcoin and that Bitcoin is just sitting there doing nothing so it makes sense to put it to use.
