I have never seen a statistic whether females are better traders than males.. I think this is sex discrimination.. If you are a sucker you will lose in any game ,regardless whether u are male or female..If u are a winner u will win in any games regardless whether u are male or female..

one mistake is to BUY instead of SELL and vice versa.. :))

damir, everyone sees the trend in different ways. I think that whatever trendfollowing method you choose, it will perform better on EurUSd than SP500./daily bars/. Intraday- the action is choppy sometimes...

sashe, i think that you should make a journal and post the trades of the system in real time for at least 3 months.. Or you can post the wealth-lab code here and we can copy L.W. and become billionaires, right:)))

Well, that's called marketing..These systems are most probably curve-fitted. If i had a system with 100% winning trades or even 90%- man i would not even talk about being a trader/investor/speculator to anyone except myself :))

Hahaha, i am sure you can't take money out of the markets every day. Everyone that claims that is either lying or he is plain lucky. Even Marty Schwartz, the "pit bull" says in his interview that he manages to be break even 200 days in an year, and only those 50 remaining days make his money...

To all of you trading the nikkei..What are the US hours that the Singapore Contract is open?

You guys and gals are so funny! He was an investor..Wow.. That sounds like the F word :). So what? I am a daytrader and a swingtrader. I rarely hold a position for more than week. I know what it means to make steady income from the market. But you do nto make the steady income minute by minute...

Well, it seems that Darvas was very lucky in his stock investing..However.. He used a nice "protection" called a stop loss..Had the stock broken out of his boxes ,he would have been out. Yes he made money in a bull market ,and according to his book "wall-street the other las vegas" he had 2,45...

if i had to start all over again i would start watching stocks' charts. I would be working full time, and trading on EOD bars.. Or i could daytrade futures and work full time..:((( Or maybe just look for my niche.. It does not matter what I or ANYONE else here would do or would have done...

Yep , that's it :)))

Well martys, the book that i mentioned "zen in the markets" is very simplistic. It says to cut your lossess short and let your profits run. Also the author talks about meditation and mental preparedness, but i do not want to become a true master in Zen, but to make money :))) The exercise i...

Yes, the script does not trade it just draws the boxes. Put TZOO and you start feeling like Darvas. You buy breakouts and put a stop loss order under the low of the box..

Well, experienced a drawdown, then recovered, then addedd another market to trade, and on all-time highs now :))) But the book is great. I also would recommend reading "Pitbull" from Marty Schwartz and "west of wallstreet" . They are goood books from REAL SP500 masters of disaster :)) Also u...

I think there was one book called "Zen in the MArkets" by Edward Allen Toppel.. I highly recommend it .. IT is so inspirational.. The two months after i read it i were very nice and profitable ones..

Or u can go here . Its free :)) http://www.wealth-lab.com/cgi-bin/WealthLab.DLL/editsystem?id=2814 Enjoy!

Well guys you are missing something essential. Darvas was VERY selective in choosing of his stocks. And i suspect that he did not mention all of his losers, probably cuz his publishers told him to write more about the winners, so they sell more books. He was buying breakouts- you think this is...

Well guys i just checked the performance of "FXMaster.net". First of all, it sounds really like it is not run by "fxmasters". And also these pips profits- http://www.fxmaster.net/history/smshistory.html They seem too unrealistically high. If one does the simple calculation he sees, that...
