    Alternative to Ninja Trader / Mirus Futures for trading ES.

    If you are taking trading advice from a guy who says you can't set a limit order on Ninja Trader then I would run away very very quickly :eek:

    Special army to be deployed on American soil just before Nov. elections

    That's nice of them to say that but the evidence says quite another. There is a long history of governemnt troops opening fire on un-armed US citizens. Just imagine what the security forces would do if US citizens started waving pitchforks in their faces?

    What's your Trading System??

    Where on earth did you get that definition of an edge? You wasted 3 years of your life because you were a dumbass. You literally wasted 3 years of your life because you didn't actually realise what you were looking for wasn't actually what you were looking for.

    What's your Trading System??

    You totally missed the point. Maybe I should have said coin flip and 2000 heads/ 8000 tails instead. The point was that most traders cannot even achieve results as good as random because whatever they are 'doing' has such a huge negative expectancy.

    What's your Trading System??

    200 ma cross has outperformed buy and hold by about 6% pa over the last 90 years (assuming you go short when prices crosses the 200 ma from above) It is a proven, back tested methodology that produces profits well in excess of the risk free rate in the long run. There are countless edges...

    U.S. Decline, Sloth Look a Lot Like End of Rome: Mark Fisher

    China produces 20% of the worlds food, which is great because they contain 19.2% of the worlds population. They are barely producing enough to feed their own people. On the flip side is the USA. They produce about 9% of the worlds food yet only make up about 4.5% of the worlds population...

    U.S. Decline, Sloth Look a Lot Like End of Rome: Mark Fisher

    You won't be willingly exporting to China. When America can't afford to pay off it's debts because the dollar is worthless, China will demand to be paid in commodities. That's their plan!!

    North Korea Vows nuclear strikes, Battle ship sunk.

    Yeah, I read that article too. Seems like they are probing the UK defenses to see how responsive they are..... Definately some strategic/military planning going on out in the east.

    Can't trade? blame yourself

    I heard a floor trader once say to a rookie "well if your losing money, then someone’s making money" - and by reading some of the threads hear on ET, someone is making a hell of a lot of money.

    North Korea Vows nuclear strikes, Battle ship sunk.

    I wouldn't call Iraq and Afghanistan wars, more like insurrections. More people died from having coconuts fall on their head, or were gunned down in gang/drugs related crime in the USA than coalition KIA in 2009.

    North Korea Vows nuclear strikes, Battle ship sunk.

    Remember that the Korean War was technically a draw? Neither side "won"? It's an ongoing state of stalemate. But I say bring it on!! Let's light'um up!! The one thing that will bring this world out of recession is a war. The West can retaliate by destroying North Korea and then the Chinese...

    Psychologically tolerable win-rates

    Depends on the position size you're trading with. I have I swing trading system/method that has a 45% win rate that risks 0.5%. Historically, I can have up to 20 losers in a row but then that's only 10% of my account. Now If I was risking 2% per trade, that's a different story.....

    6E is awesome

    Trying buying the bid or selling the ask on IB FX. You'll only get it if another customer crosses you or if the bid turns ask, or vice versa. It's not a true market or ECN. It's just a bucket shop with tighter spreads.
