Swift does not offer remote trading, has no offices in the U.S.A., and gives you only 30% of your profits. I wouldn't recommend them. -Raystonn

Where I live that *is* a crime. (Yes, I live in the U.S.A.) -Raystonn

Did you include commissions in this? What is your average trade net profit? -Raystonn

I suggest you reevaluate your value system. Try not to get so brainwashed by PETA. Thanks, but I'm not Christian. You argue the beliefs of PETA and a literal view of the Christian Bible? You are one confused individual. For you, perhaps. Nice invention... "Natural law". I assume this...

That would be like saying buying a Big Mac is unethical. There are no ethics involved in a trade transaction other than fulfilling any contractual obligations. -Raystonn

Trades are simulated, and hence so are gains and losses. When you make a live trade you actually change the market. It doesn't have infinite liquidity. Assuming you can scale yourself up to trading a $500,000,000 account with your current strategy, and not suffer any performance hit, is...

Now that reply is a good example of reading the subject/topic but not the actual post. False signal. -Raystonn

Honestly, one of my better systems (3.80 profit factor, 75.61% of trades profitable, 0.86 Avg Win:Avg Loss ratio, about 26 round trip trades per year, about $570 profit per trade per contract) would need to be traded for 76 years before it hit approximately 2000 trades. Your definition of what...

Done easily enough. You just changed the ratio of profitable to unprofitable trades. Your quoted 55% rate no longer applies. You just changed it again. If you find a random (non-edged based) strategy that produces 10 winners for every loser, then it will tend to produce losers that are 10...

It's the day preceding the 2nd Friday, not necessarily (though usually) the 2nd Thursday. -Raystonn

They even state in that article that the correlation breaks down when you look at earlier time periods. So they've basically cherry picked the time period during which it seems to correlate. If the S&P 500 hadn't correlated they would have looked at the Dow, then the Nasdaq, then the Russell...

You pay interest on margin only if you hold overnight. There is no interest for use of margin intraday. -Raystonn

1) Create an LLC. 2) Have the LLC purchase a seat. 3) Have anyone wishing to trade using that seat become a member of the LLC. 4) Members trade only the LLC's account. 5) Profits/losses from the LLC are divided based on profits/losses from trading the LLC's account. If you gain $100,000...

Not just homebuilders. All real-estate investments. Would you say most of the shorts, across the board, are in at this time? CME's real estate futures are of particular interest to me at the moment. -Raystonn

How does "non-profit" status have anything to do with monopoly status? Was Standard Oil (a monopoly) a "non-profit"? Is Red Cross a monopoly? The merit of monopolies can certainly be argued, but to refrain from worrying about "non-profit" companies as monopolies until they become for-profit...

If everybody thinks a crash is coming, and this opinion has held for about a year, does that mean all the shorts are in? What usually happens when all the shorts are in and noone can be found that isn't already short as much as they are willing? Of course this begs the question: Are all...

Make no mistake. "Non-profit" companies maximize profits just as much as "for-profit" companies. The only difference is that "non-profit" companies reinvest all of their profit back into the company. They are essentially the same as every other company that does not pay dividends. -Raystonn

That depends on the definition of always winning. Does that mean net or gross? For the day? Week? Month? Year? For every trade? If you had enough money you could simply lay down a huge limit buy order at a price slightly above the current market. It must be big enough that it cannot be...

Perhaps you could post both the Best and the Worst trade of the day... not that you could be expected to actually provide the very worst when asked. -Raystonn

What you are talking about would be a bit like running a true physics simulation with an exact copy of the position, velocity, and everything else of every particle and energy in the universe. Perhaps you could even filter out anything outside our solar system. You get this simulation running...
