Ok, I finally found the movie "Pi", in Italian: http://www.megavideo.com/?v=K6TTW0QC

"Pi" ought to be good. It's directed by the same director as The Wrestler, Darren Aronofsky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Aronofsky Unfortunately I couldn't find it on the search engine...

I would like to ask you if you can suggest any movies on trading. This is very related to psychology, especially Rogue Trader, I find. The true stories are the best ones in my opinion. I found a great search engine for online movies: http://www.letmewatchthis.com/index.php?search I will...

Yeah... I don't mind your outline, and certainly right now I can't find a better one. Those three elements are all important. However, let me point out some problems I personally see with it, point by point (but it could be due to my own ignorance of English): #1 "Money management": I have...

This sounds good, and it's what many members of this forum keep on writing ("over 90% of traders are not profitable", and so on), but what should be added each time is that on this forum the percentage of profitable traders is much higher, for the simple fact that not all traders write on...

Wow, this is great. Finally someone who says exactly the same things I've been writing for many posts. And if you say that after 28 years of trading chances are we are both right.

Get a free account with veoh.com and download the free player. Then the movie will start automatically. If it still doesn't work, then do a simple search on veoh.com for "rogue trader". I watched it yesterday.

Watch this movie, rogue trader. It's a very good one. He blew out a bank for the reasons above (there are many unprofitable traders in banks, who may have degrees from prestigious universities): http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/entertainment/watch/v76509298KPGjHGk

It's funny that you say that, because I've experienced the same exact situation for years. You're flattering yourself by saying that you are addicted to losing and that you lose because you enjoy hurting yourself. The truth is that you don't lose because you don't do what you know to work, but...

Yes, I agree. If you invest 1% of your capital on each trade, it becomes like paper trading without the disadvantages of paper trading. For example, I probably never felt like doing paper trading because it made me feel like I was wasting opportunities and ultimately wasting my time (but I...

Another great and entertaining ("Hail Mary trade") article related to psychology, but once again referring only to discretionary trading (now I see why we had all those misunderstandings - everyone talking about "psychology and trading" just assumes we're talking about discretionary trading)...

A good link, related to the subject of this thread (by the date and content, it could very well be that the author read our thread): http://www.trade2win.com/knowledge/articles/general_articles/discipline-trading-investing/?r What's interesting is that he says "I don't care how good your...

Through Excel's DDE: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/php/apiUsersGuide/apiguide.htm

The coding language I use is VBA, for programming (macros) on excel. For back-testing, I use easylanguage, on Tradestation. I kept it as simple as possible, because I am not a programmer (I'm a self-taught programmer, and not advanced). I trade gold, oil, forex, bond and index futures. Yeah...

It sounds interesting... I would say that overall this is a case in which a discretionary trader says psychology is NOT needed (overall, and I am aware I am oversimplifying), or at least not needed more than in most other human activities. This would seem to prove Alexis's case one hundred...

I have an account with IB, and I use their TWS + Excel. That's all. Yes, the whole process is entirely automated. I just have to turn on those two programs, and restart them once a day.

Well, as before, we're discussing about the terms we use and semantics here. It's unavoidable. But since we acknowledge each other's good faith, we can keep on debating this. (I mean: I am glad you didn't say that I am "lying" or similar). As you know, I gave up as a discretionary trader and...

I agree with what you are saying - one shouldn't look down on other people because of their spelling mistakes. You should only criticize someone - politely and respectfully - if they can (easily) fix what you are criticizing. Other than this it's similar to racism. I mean, "trailer trash"...

I agree - that's what bothers me the most. But this place is like heaven, compared to other forums. I found forums where you get insulted by moderators. One of them told me I was writing nonsense. I replied "pearls before swine" and he banned me. A moderator should not post his personal...
