I am curently working on a masters in engineering and about 80%-90% of my class mates are either Asian or middle eastern. The simple fact is that your average American youth wants all the nice toys now but is unwilling to put forth the effort to get a higher education and work for the toys...

I am not against outsourcing when it makes good busines sense, however when the government gives tax breaks and basically subsidizes companies for outsourcing, that is akin to selling out the American people and they should be labeled as traitors if this is the case.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- if you think everone is supposed to be an inventor/scientist to get high wages your high. my sister works with PHD scientist (with years of experience) who look thru a microscope and count cromosones (for...

From my observations about people there are three categories in regards to materialism. 1) Those who could care less 2) Those who want materialistic things but will aways see them as a dream and therefore will not try to achive the success required. 3) Those who want what those in category...

Try the interbank FX market. 100 mill is nothing

Tell the whiners to get over it and join the real world. I make far less than that and pay $250 for heath insurance for me and my wife. My employer doesn's even offer insurance. And I am not a phone operator, I'm a engineer in the space program

CalTraders point about fake training opportunities is excellent advise. I was suckered right out of school. However since I knew nothing about trading or financial markets when I started It was probably the best piece of education that I had recieved up to that time. Just out of curiosity...

What is the right way to lose besides the obvious answer of lose less than you make? From the first post I would say that I am between steps 24 and 25 after 2.5 years. I almost gave up at step 14 after my first 3 months and then took a 1 year hiatus where trading was a slim afterthought. I...

I'm not a scalper so I target more than $2-$5 a trade. When I first started I tried short term trades but it didn't work out to well. Since the start of this year I have been able to catch a few good ones that gave me $30-$40 in a day with scaling into a position. Keep in mind though each...

I pay 2-5 pips spread which isn't a big deal because I target 50+ pips per trade. For me FOREX is nice because I can use better money management with a smaller account because my broker does not use standard contract sizes. I usually play what could be considered 1/10 to 1/2 of a mini lot...

Cool, I know where League City is, me and my wife looked at houses there but settled for La Marque. We'll have to hook up some time.

Lou, Just out of curiosity where at in Houston are you? I'm close Clear Lake and am rather new to FX as well. Been at it for about a year now.

Start trading. If you start at a prop firm then be sure to talk to as many people as you can. You will be suprised at what you learn. If after a couple of months things aren't working out then take the Intle job. I had a similar experience where I took a job trading not knowning anything...

I just found the wonders of scaling in as well. It has dramaticaly improved my performance. Now if I can just kep from scaling in at the wrong time (the end of a move) I'll be even better. I think that I can start to learn to scale out as well and that might help. I also do not believe...

I have had a few but I know that there are many more to be made. My most recent breakthroughs that I feel have really helped is learning to scale into a position at pre-planned locations and beaing able to recognize when I am trading just to trade instead of sticking to my strategy and then...

J-Law, I just use their charts by downloading the software from their site. You have to sign up for a demo acount that lasts for a month. I reset the demo at the end of a month when they expire. It's free of charge.

What 10 or 11 year old hasn't seen tits in a Playboy. Or even less sexual print such as National Geographic. I for one would rather have my children see tits at the Super Bowl than to watch the nightly news with all of the violence that is there.

I wouldn't say that the volatility is killing the newbies. I had my best month so far after 6 months of live trading.

I almost forgot about steak Tar-Tar. If done right it can be really good.

My favorite is to put a steak into the fridge for about a week or two so that it gets a little green. That makes it really tender.
