    It has finally clicked.....as a trader

    Wow, I can't believe how negative people on this forum are. Always ready to jump onto someone else and put him down. Leave the kid alone. Did he claim he became the best trader ever? Did he say he just found the holy grail? He just said something very important that is key for every...

    2 dollars for 1 euro within weeks if not days

    You guys really think Bernie and the other FED guys are that stupid? Come on people. They know what they are doing. 1-2 years from now, when the US economy will be back in its full force, the dollar will rally against the Euro because the EU will be stuck with 0% growth due to higher...

    Bernanke 2 years ago on housing bubble

    I am not a big fan of Mr. Bernanke, yet the housing bubble is not the real cause of the current recession. The credit crunch is the main cause. Bernanke was just not aware of the amount of derivative products that had been built around the subprime market. So even if it's somehow...

    Why would successful traders work for investment banks/prop firms/etc?

    I am not getting the part of the futures being unregulated for not much longer. I thought the CME was a regulated exchange, isn't it? Apart from that, why do you talk about spreads? Are you referring to scalpers? If yes, please specify because I couldn't quite understand the meaning of...

    Ooooops TradeStation!

    Surdo I tried to get back to TS 8.2 from 8.3 but I was never asked about converting/transferring the old desktops and workspaces... It just installed and ran as if it was a brand-new platform, completely ingnoring the other version. I think that if you UPGRADE, then it's possible. If...

    Ooooops TradeStation!

    I heard the new version 8.3 has been giving a lot of users many problems. I tried to get back to 8.2 and all my saved desktops, indicators, etc aren't working. i would have to rebuild everything from scratch, which is about 50 different charts...:( I gave up.

    Considering TradeStation

    I've been using TS since August and I really like it... However, I've been having major datafeed freezes since December and if the issues aren't solved soon, I am going to have to dump it. :(

    YM Migration to CME GLobex

    Anyone familiar with this platform?

    YM Migration to CME GLobex

    I tend to agree here. It's not about the extra $50 YM traders have to pay, but the whole principle behind it. Usually mergers should provide customers with better service and lower costs, but it's not the case here. This is a monopoly. It would be as if Mc Donald's merged with Burger...

    YM Migration to CME GLobex

    Yeah, this totally sucks because I expected YM to be packaged with the other eminis. The funny thing is they have now increased the CME fee with YM not being for free anymore. Nice way to stick it up the ass to all YM traders.

    French Bank Trader Bet Tens of Billions

    I agree with the above. Averaging down doesn't teach a trader how to lose. You get lazy and spoiled so you don't learn from your mistakes. What averaging down does is hyde bad entries, bad timing, etc simply because more contracts will be thrown into the position. 99% of the times AD...

    Trichet: "ECB Still Focused on Fighting Inflation"

    Trichet is a very academic guy who rigidly abides by his mandate as president of the ECB. The main goal of the ECB is to fight inflation and maintain price stability. The ECB should not intervene to accommodate the economy or the stock market. Trichet has been playing that role by the...
