You tell your friends that if they think you found a way to beat the market they should be nicer to you. Its amazing how much we discriminate against losses and not wins. The top posts show how flipping ones rules 100% will lead to nothing new, The R:R ratio is nothing more then a preference of...

When the actual number was rounded off was it rounded up or down to the nearest 10k ? Speaking of rounded numbers, 95 is another one, I guess one compliments the other so everything adds up in the end. I wonder how many bit coins can be accumulated in that time?

You predict what type of market condition is to come and pour more funds to the appropriate system? So the theory is that it is easier to predict market condition (or when one system will work over the other)over predicting market direction. I cant imagine why you would limit your gains...

Still not seeing the benefit in putting down more contracts. If it is your only edge and you are paying any fees then your edge equals your fees which is negative. I hope you do not only come here to hide from your looses. With so many posts its a scary thought.

If he is more bearish the euro he will loose money is the euro goes up, and make if it goes down. So why not skip all the drama and simply put a small position to short the euro?

I always laugh when they say to put no more then 5 or 10% of your funds in a given investment. Then they go on to say that one should invest no more then X% of their money? (x>10) Its amazing how investing in the dollar is regarded as "saving".

Sure you are going to win ? By looking at the trend of what the math is telling us (One cant adjust some thing without another thing being inversely effected) The only definition of a sure win is one that meets the criteria of a black swan but is not a black swan....

Sorry you had a bad day. Intra day, the markets seem to of been trending and closed near their highs. Long term, they are in an up trend. Maybe the trend is not your friend and the range is where you should engage.

If we agree that having a 1:10 ratio of stop to take profit will lead in a 90% chance of failure, then we are saying that the math evens out and ratios make no difference. I think this is a hard thing to say for many. But now we are saying that position size makes a difference ? I assume we...

As gold comes to its support once again fear that it will break this level arises. Not being a typical trade, I wonder what to look for. The only thing that comes to mind is to compare the previous hits of support. I am going to try to compare previous hits of the support line to this...

How can luck give consistent ? The act of covering the cost of fees is not an easy one. (This is where the casino out wins its clients) being able to cover such fees over a long term means that the trader has an advantage, though small it is consistent. Is TA an edge ? Gold is at a support...

Not too sure where the 33,33 % came from, (maybe its from a 1 to 3 ratio), But the idea Is that there is no edge as the more you increase the ratio of SL and TP , the less the win % goes. You are suggesting that this is a perfectly linear relation where the sum of the two vectors is always...

So i have heard this over and over and would like to clarify the issue. It is said that one who trades blindly has a 50% chance of their trade being in the money. To succeed one would need a 10% advantage, (or have risk to reward ratios that are equivilant) If I have a profit target of...

The assumption is that prices are over spot. but this is not the case. Its supply and demand. When every one is selling a broker charges the premium to the seller since there are many. With no buyers on the market the broker has to entice people to buy. It is not uncommon that one can buy...

Seems like the speed of the tape is an indication, but from what is given in the short time, I find that the speed turns around quickly, you can get a nice bar with a decent range but it is just a 1 min bar, a couple of cents, add to that reaction and execution time (entry and exiting) there is...

Thanks, I am not sure about its strengths, But I will say its weakness brought about strengths in me. At times I feel like my learning style is off, that is to say that most will learn from experience and when things don't work they stop or vice versa. I, like many traders (possible...

(Sorry I may have mixed up level 2 and time of sales. I have been mostly looking at the T&S) To see such and imbalance that you speak of, would one look at limit orders being placed (on level 2) or the time and sales? Generally in the time and sales there is no imbalance as each buy order...

So I got stopped out, I think this was my first trade i put on the forum that ended with a lose. maybe my second. This trade was really out of my bounds as not only was it not intra day, but it was a position I could of kept for weeks if it went my way. It should not be counted with...

Amazing how much or a small world it is in here !

Ill have to check it out to see if its similar to what I have done. Didnt know about it thanks
