The outlier I see is that maybe technology might mean we don't even need the government to provide for us, maybe technology will become so cheap and advanced that every family will have a microwave sized nano-factory in their garage and a 3d printer which can make them whatever they need to...

Yip I agree, eventually property rights will become a problem

Zeitgeist? You mean like Venus project kind of stuff? I don't know where I stand with that, sounds very Utopian, Marxism with Robots maybe. But yeah, I don't really have a boner for Capitalism or private property but I have concerns with collectivisation in who it is who gets to collectivise...

Thanks, I'll take a look at the book. I hear you about redistribution, it's not ideal giving somebody/group the power to redistribute the fruits of labour of others but it's a necessary evil I suppose. I only recently learned that the first welfare state was not created by social democratic...

Oops, just checked and the Earth's human populations seems to have crept up another billion without me noticing.

Well I do, but I can't speak for the rest of the 6 billion people on this planet :)

Just to clarify I see State Socialism as the road to serfdom and am not a proponent, but am in the uncomfortable position of seeing it as inevitable.

Hi, This is something that has been niggling me, it's not really trading related except maybe it impacts how much longer financial markets may actually exist. I apologise for the Marxist sounding terminology in advance. The way I see it, the majority of people on this planet do not...

He's definitely not a loser.

Of course, they have solved chequers and it won't be long until machines are beating the best human poker players, the markets are next. 30 years? That's optimistic compared to me. You think there will even be markets in 30 years?

Actually I will bookmark this page and post at the end of the year and let you know how it's gone for me. Maybe I will have given up on the idea of getting any money out of the markets, but I am pretty sure whatever happens I won't be bankrupt....or divorced (where is the rolls eyes icon?)

I havn't lost money, in fact I've made money. It wasn't a fluke the trades worked out exactly as planned, exactly as I knew they would (very similar to the trade handle took above), exactly as I have seen breakouts like these behave hundreds of times before, except I bailed out early, which is...

I don't know, I must be a retard. This dude trades donchian variations from what I gather, quite secretive about it obviously.

Yes I had tried this for a while, but I work long hours at my current job, lucky to get home for 20:00 so not an option any more.

I was experimenting at the time of the screenshot so they are all shorter than I usually have them, but the shorter ones are for trailing stops and the longer one which is usually a 200, I don't even remember why I have that one.

It's not bad as far as dream crushing posts go, personally I prefer the below bombshell by TheRealThing from Forex Factory: "Can this forum handle some truth? Note: this is not a negative post. I've been trading for a living for many years. Using robust methods that have worked for...

WTF? Just when I was warming to you.

FWIW I actually worked on a trading floor as a traders assistant at a brokers when I left school, booking trades, checking prices and sending out contract notes. There was opportunity to work my way up so I had my shot at the institutional route and it wasn't for me, traders are a bunch of...

Ah, a good Samaritan, just when I was losing faith in the world. I will consider it an expensive hobby in that case. So what is upsetting you then?

And I appreciate your advice, but you are coming across as a prick, I hope you take that onboard too. I admit all my shortcomings, all you had done is repeat everything I have already stated myself. I don't intend to make a living out of trading, but I am quite confident I can make some money...
