OK - You are right - I'm sorry

So now I need HFT stealth technology to make money in these markets.:D :D

That is your answer. [/B] That answer is the myth- hocus pocus I'm talking about. You haven't answered the question. How does high computing power beat a trader that holds trades for at least 2days. To make it simple lets not even consider 2 months. Try again.

Those were special projects accounts not my primary accounts.

If you make it hard for yourself through poor decisions you lose - just like anything else in life - we are tired of hearing 90% traders lose - so whats so amazing about that

Well tell me any business that has a 90% success rate. Its an old record - you can't make money with a small account. Its utter bullshit. Just to try it I traded a 2k account into 10k in 5months and another 4k account to 16k in three weeks. And I bought sweets for the kids with the money!

Stupid racist bigot - African dictators have murdered far much less people than European dictators/thugs.

Something similar but not exactly a day job. I'm a sleeping Partner in an engineering firm co-owned with a friend. I'm not on payroll but on a shareholding pay arrangement. I have found swing/position trading very boring so I now kill time as a Consultant in the firm rather kill time by time...

That is correct.

Black swan events are typically random and unexpected. For example, the previously successful hedge fund Long Term Capital Management (LTCM) was driven into the ground as a result of the ripple effect caused by the Russian government's debt default. The Russian government's default represents a...

Yes I did. A surprise is something unexpected - like SEALS taking out OBL. I don't consider the silver move in that category. Its not a Black Swan event - because it has happened before in the same market many a times. Those are a just a few recent examples I have listed- go back even further...

1980 when Hunt brothers corner collapsed

and if i may add - I can't find any other market that exhibits similar behavioral tendencies on a consistent basis - big move up then followed immediately by a big crash
