Ok Jack, you win. I'm a college student and was wondering if this idea was feasible down the road as I continue to improve my trading. I have never been "phishing," and have never asked for help learning to trade, just occasional advice. I've always stated that I wanted to give more back...

I think you're talking about the remaining in the account part, which would be the trader's account so he/she could continue trading that portion of returns. And yes it's just something I thought of in a few seconds, and I don't pretend to know anything about managing a trading company. I...

Good issues being raised here. I appreciate your effort Jack, but the goal of this thread is to determine the possibilities and problems associated with starting such a company. Interesting questions. 1 - I think more capital can be raised (later in post), and I work at home and hate...

I will respond soon.

Well I don't know that much about endowments and the focus would be more on trading than wealth, but yes I think you have the idea. I imagine it being an asset management firm with the goal of distributing a high percentage of earnings (only kept so that the company can contribute more over...

My dream is to start a company for traders a few years down the road. My main goal is to bring top-tier traders together (while also hiring and training others with elite talent) and trade for a purpose. Profits would be split between personal income (percentage based + wage), reinvested...

Ok couldn't sleep and planning to trade in the morning so here I am. Straight to it... Monthly: not surprising that we closed in an inside bar. As I have in the past, I take nothing from this chart besides the resistance at 1.35 Weekly: possible little 3br heading toward confirming my...

Haha here's someone who knows what they're talking about. I'll short the rally if I get a signal. Otherwise, I won't. :) Trust people less, learn to trade better.

Time for my occasional entry. I've figured out a few of my problems, and does anyone have any ideas for how I can solve them? I've noticed that my progression on at least a few of them hasn't been that great, so I was wondering if anyone had any tips, exercises, etc. Main problems: I'm...

I'm trying to find both differences and similarities in many markets to learn more about them, which I hope will make me wiser and more profitable in which ever market I specialize. My intentions are to continue trading a single instrument intraday (currently EUR/USD) while learning more from...

Interesting. Do you think this has helped you learn and apply concepts between markets?

I've been focusing on the EUR/USD for a while, but I'm wondering if even just occasionally watching other charts would be beneficial. I've been thinking that maybe watching the ES and other futures, the indexes, and maybe commodities might teach me different things about the markets which I...

What I'm saying is I think the bar end should be 12:00:00 and the next bar open should be synchronized to 12:00:00, or just a simple = function between the two bars would do. I don't get it. Oanda does it well. Thanks, bugscoe. I don't have the money for a subscription right now, but I...

I've been using Oanda for a while now, but I'm trying to expand my options a bit. Something that syncs a bar's close with the next bar's open (so they don't show gaps, I don't really understand this anyway) would be fine as well. I'm mainly looking for more flexible timeframes than Oanda...

I've done well as of late, and I've decided to post an analysis entry mainlyto reinforce some things I've learned. Weekly: Although the dragon still leads me to believe this has a good chance of being a bull flag, I honestly couldn't care less. It could also be a descending triangle, in...

There was a time when that was true. I've completely changed my strategy. I agree with you though. Sometimes I get too constrained on the 1-5 min and I can't refocus. That happened today and I stopped trading. I also get chopped up occasionally in non-trending markets. I will overcome...

The 1 min just bought me a ticket to going live :). I made 4:1 on this one. For those of you who think the 1 min and 5 min are random and untradable, they are most of the time, but if you know what you're doing they unlock the key to R:R and huge profits. If this trade didn't collapse...

Before I post my analysis for the day, I want to say that this thread has been a gigantic success for me. Not only has my direction been much better, the skills I've taken from this exercise is making me a complete trader. The analysis has led me to taking leveraged, confident trades down to...

March 31 / April 1 Analysis (just hit midnight on East coast) Monthly: decided to have the monthly in for good measure, since it is the end of the month. However, if I said it was entirely irrelevant for analysis it would be an understatement. What I do learn from it, though, is that 1.35...

Still demo. Been hanging around b/e, only have time to trade maybe 5 hours/week. March 30 Analysis: Weekly: Last week's close resulted in a kind of tweezers piercing signal that I've found can be bullish (with a break up in next 1-3 bars) or bearish depending on the next few bars. It...
