i kind of sympathize with that. i live in euro land and there is a strange feeling prices have doubled since the euro was adopted while inflation reports didnt acknowledge it. but those are consumer perceptions and most often doesnt reflect the overall inflation picture within the economy. i...

i dont see a liquidity crush whatsoever. the us, uk, australia are already at the top of hike cycle, while europe is in between and only japan is in the beginning of the cycle. so even we have rampant inflation in in europe and japan which is quite unlikely, the chances are that us and uk start...

"Recordings show that he began the month with $36,000 in a/c but was trading 20-30 contracts at a time, which is a crazy amount of leverage. " id still prefer blackjack. at least i can count the cards... but i take my hat to his money management principles. i think it is called the optimal...

housing is actually a much better long term investment that actively trading the markets. while housing may return 8% per annum with minimal risk, trading can yield much more at expense of increased risk. the trade off clearly favors housing. i wonder how trump got his fortune???

so. how many YMs then? :D

i believe this service is for stock indices. most probably they are offering recommendations to trade the YM. i am pretty sure they're doing OK as the YM is trending up with minor retracements. actually any rookie trading YM is doing superbly well as long the YM continues the trend. it is no...

i recommend you read mandelbrot or go to www.santafe.edu and have look on complex economics.

thanks. but tell me security issues aside, can you recommend me one of the autologin batchs available out there such ibcontroller or other?

the TWS standalone based client runs in the datacenter together with my bots code. i just administer the apps locally (remote desktop). and i would like to avoid logging in in tws client everyday but wouldnt like to have my tws login info on file wo protection for security reasons.

i dont know where you get that info but it is wrong. China PE is close to 40 with current valautions. even the S&P 500 is trading above 18 right now.

long a FEB/MAR 100 Calendar. it is cheap and will allow to hold an outright call as soon on APPL as soon as FEB call expires. It is like buying a 100C at discount. I also like the OTM fly proposed be the poster above because it allows to stay short vega while keeping a good directional...

ahahah. the only thing these guys have in sync with communism is their red flag. they're running a laissez-faire economy where there is no safety net for those left behind. their stock market ressemble the wall street situation on late 20's.

yes, he is idolized because he made a huge fortune twice. he decided to put an end to his life when lost everything for the third time. too tired to start all over again , i guess. he is an idol because he captured the real essence of the trading as a profession and his teachings are timeless...

i just hope any of those 90k per day are doing some short trades for the sake of a healthy market out there. smells like the china bubble still has more room to expand. we all know where the next big crash is coming from, dont we?
