Try selling options for outrageous premiums. During times of high volatility you may even get a fill :D

Natural gas is the real, but quiet bull market of 2008. Unlike crude oil, it has not received too much attention from the media. The main reason for the price increase is technology advancement. Traditionally, due of its composion, natural gas couldn't be transported over long distances...

Neither method is easy to calculate, although in my view Compounded ROR is more accurate than the others. Some CTAs use the ROR method, but they accept new money under management only at the end of the quarter. Same thing for withdrawals. Also they don't take into consideration reinvestment...

I'd rush to buy them Z dollars. Now that Zimbabwe's Central Bank is out of paper, the end is near. Without money to pay his army, Mugabe may be forced out of office by his own people ... Just keep an eye on the news. I give him 3 more months ... at best :p

Iran did it again ... Crude recovered about $1 already :D :D :D

Totally agree with you. Trading is for self-directed, independent folks, willing to accept the unpredictable.

Debra, since your trading method is based on TA I strongly urge you to ignore all the noise, such as the reccomendations from your broker and the news. Just focus on the charts ... Question: have you backtested your method on a significant data sample?

I've been trading for a living for few years now ... at the beginning loosing positions used to keep me up at night. I remember not being able to sleep for 4 weeks in a row once. Later on I developed something called .. indiference. That is when a trade, regardless of the result, it's just...

It seems that your trading doesn't take too much of your time ... Get a day job that is not very demanding. In this way you socialize, get paid and trade ... all in the same time :D

Hi Does anybody know of a forex broker who gives the following: 1. low spreads on USDJPY, EURJPY, NZDUSD, AUDUSD, GBPJpY 2. high leverage 3. rollover time different than 5 pm ET I've been searching for a while, and although I found brokers that provide 1 & 3, the leverage was very...

You said it ... it is an emotional thing. Learn to control your emotions ... start smaller ... trade only one stock instead of 3 or 4. Exits are just as important as entries. Good Trading :D

Yep, oil is at all times high ... However its inflationary effect on economy is damped by the slow housing market. If anybody paid attention to 3rd quarter GDP numbers, US exports more than ever. On the other hand importers are reluctant to pass on increasing costs to customers. As far as I can...

you know you wanna say something ... don't be afraid to share :)

I'm pretty good and I already have a track record to show :) However there are so many trading related blogs out there ... it won't make any sense to add another one ... Thanks though :D

I've been lurking around career forum for quite a while .... I trade at home full time my own money and not only. I write options on futures, and modesty aside results are not bad at all. This being said, I won't mind having some kind of market research / trading related job that doesn't require...

I agree with Ron .... also let's don't forget that American business found ways to profit from a weak dollar, the profits of multinationals are higher than ever and the trade deficit is not as wide as it used to due to increased exports. Given the resilience of American economy is just a matter...
