You're mixing marketplace and Amazon supplied direct, Amazon has supply chain processes in place and a reputation to uphold, their sellers don't, and it's virtually impossible to perform due diligence on the sellers. So almost always avoid marketplace sellers on Amazon and it's rare you have a...

What does inflation mean to you, the powers that be are sending you a bill for something. The stats are nonsense, anyone with any intelligence can see they are 'smoothing' the data. You don't get a near 30% increase for the wealthiest compared to the poorest 3.5bn people in 2yrs without someone...

It's risk vs reward, the only problem is over the coming years the markets will slowly move away from technicals towards fundamentals. But if you get paid well for income and you can trade on the side for capital it's all good. You may just get picked up by an institution, so if you can...

So you want to compete against the best algos in the world using retail tools without monitoring the system in realtime. And what percentage return on capital per month are you trying to achieve with the algos. There's no point asking our associates for help because they'll charge you to...

No, Easter, Summer and Christmas are the most profitable months, but target the institutions weak points. Not retail, that's way too much effort without automated algos. Volume, like anyone's account in retail is going to swing a market. You mean not enough price movement, that's why you float...

To gain more with less effort the simplest approach is to find the weakest link and exploit it. The traders, quants and management are either distracted or leave it to the juniors. It's always better to have people pay you for their mistakes, after all that's what the markets are all about. But...

15Dec to 15Jan fundamental high timeframe (240mn/1d) trades only, same for 15Jul to 15Sep and a few weeks over Easter, but it's not by accident why we do that.

That no matter how much information you give people that helps them help themselves, they are too ignorant to do anything with it because everyone is gaming everyone. And knowledge is power.

Yes, offshore, but as you're US based with US clients it becomes messy. Then you would need a master/feeder and that becomes expensive fast. You have to understand the accredited investor rules, there are no workarounds. In theory due to the rule changes, you can crowd fund investors without...

Which is why you're all banging you heads against a corporate brick wall which I unfortunately helped design, but no hard feelings.

No comment. The figures are correct, have just had them confirmed, 2%/mth gross, 15-20%/yr net. After that you're going to hit serious problems in retail, and as already said, that range is lowering.

The markets have a built in contextual limit of 18%/yr (2%/mth), go above this you will find 'random' events and 'anomalies' as soft safeguards. Go past these and you will see the more visible safeguards kick in. They are not random, they're there for a reason, everyone wants their fees and they...

In any environment the success is as strong as the weakest link, so your advantage is that once you take in to account an institutions capital, resource, and technology, and influence, if you are still stronger than their average you have an edge. What that means in reality is if you are inside...

Yes, that's what happens. There are only a few ways to trading: work hard and incrementally generate income or capital over decades (retail), you get to affluent but rarely more; do what the larger firms do, skew the markets to them, they don't care about people making incremental amounts; look...

Your assumptions are correct, but you miss the fact that the 'players' have the news early either by outright deception or by their own analysis techniques due to increased available capital to buy knowledge and services. Know this because use the latter ourselves (except we're the ones people...

The systems and methodologies, nothing, they are all in place. The problem is the third party backend systems such as brokers and platforms. They are failing, Bloomberg just went down today. Any trade is only as good as the weakest link, for most people that link is themselves, our systems are...

No, but it's like everything in life, it trends. Currently that trend is tech and micro, the alternate is discretionary and macro. Given that tech always leaves an exposure point, you just need to identify that and exploit when it comes online. Unfortunately you also need a level of perfection...

Contrary to what everyone believes the smart option is to have a service for income and use trading for capital appreciation, more efficient. As you will have probably understood, you have a couple of options. A 1-2yr and 3-5yr trading cycle, however above $50/mth most wonder why don't you just...

Because the technicals are rolling over, and when that happens all the children, in this case techncials, throw their toys out of the stroller. What none of you have the mental capacity to understand is that you can only have an idetic memory if you don't lie. Which is about the most annoying...

Excellent, set the technicals off, always fascinating to watch. It's only not fair if you know less than the person making the statement. Do you know what separates the wealthy from everyone else, they use time more efficiently. Given that I know the responses are from technical minded people...
