    9 Tricks Of The Successful Forex Trader.

    In a game where most people fail or, at best, seriously under preform, common knowledge - or the at least the application of that "knowledge" must be, almost by default - wrong.

    HFT? Forget about HFT, it's now..HIT.

    I should change the end of the last post too. Right now heat is a major practical problem for the true Quantum Computer. MIT is working on laser cooling because right now the entire wafer's on this kind of computer is made of of gold and platinum. It's overwhelmingly expensive to cool -...

    HFT? Forget about HFT, it's now..HIT.

    The above post is mine from another PC. Don't want anyone to accuse me of trying to be sneaky. According to most of the technologists that I know the first true Quantum Computers will emerge around 2025. The current one from Dwave has some loopholes in it. It has quantum processing, but...

    Emotions - How do you deal with it?

    Yes. I used to make a decent income on NYSE Opening orders, getting on large standard deviation moves at the open with the specialist and flipping them shortly after the open. It doesn't work the same today as it did in the past, which was an expensive lesson for me to learn. But you just adapt...

    How to reverse-engineer William O'Neill?

    Like Maverick, AAA, Phoenix etc have said, CANSLIM is a great method to pick stocks. It will keep you out when the markets are not favorable to long investments, it will keep you in, and in the best names, when it is. It's a lot of work. It's worth doing it. Read Bill Oneil's books. Gil...

    Emotions - How do you deal with it?

    Baron needs to add facebook like buttons. Probably the biggest problem that beginners have is that they want to be excited. You have to decided if you want to be excited or make money pretty early on though. Most people are actually significantly more invested in escaping the boredom of...

    9 Tricks Of The Successful Forex Trader.

    I find that using a few time frames is helpful. But if you get into using too many it starts to become more like looking at a NASA solar flare analysis chart than anything that has to do with investing or trading. That said if your timeframe is 15 minutes and you are using, for example, a...

    Emotions - How do you deal with it?

    I always think it's funny when people get the idea into their heads that "I just need to program all this stuff, then money will fly from the sky." It's an illusion, because I know several people who have fabulous computerized trading systems and they lose confidence and then turn the damn...

    9 Tricks Of The Successful Forex Trader.

    The successful one's don't trade very much. I have a friend who was an accountant for a large firm that specializes in traders. They only had ONE long term profitable Forex day trader. I also have a lot of experience in the marketing business - most of the Forex stuff is bullshit.

    Sociopathy and trading

    I would think that a sociopath would have a hard time trading. It is not true that they have no emotion - they have no empathy. They feel things acutely for themselves though and have a really hard time being honest with themselves. I would think that might make becoming a successful...

    Emotions - How do you deal with it?

    A lot of getting over the emotional part of trading, in my opinion, just comes down to pain. I'll use sort of a personal example, but I think it makes the point. Several years ago I ended a long term relationship. Shortly after I was diagnosed with cancer and then as a result of an...

    Forex E/A Coders Needed

    A few people have asked how much profit one single EA will make. It depends upon a few things. The most important question is if it's going to be a launch of a week or so and then never sold again, or will it be something available to the market all the time. If its available to the...

    Important: How to make an American Job

    You create an American job by starting your own company and then outsource as much as you can, hiring as few people here as possible because it's not worth the cost or risk. But, you create one American job, and possibly an assistant if you do well enough (two). Sad, but true.
