    LOST

    We are on the same page. We provide simulation trading software for every platform we possibly can. A Trader has to study the order execution, Dom and Chart functions. But, the context of my post was using a demo as a performance measure as discussed for the OP.

    What were your lowest moments?

    Indeed 2008-2010 was a very difficult period in the industry and many veterans had to go through many adjustments. I am happy that it worked out for you and you stayed in because many it did not.

    I am truly trying to answer your question, but I am not sure if you mean "technical indicators" or as in what is the "indication" of success. here is what I said again: "Demos for beginners are just about the worst indicator of success due to execution and lack of mental game preparation."...

    To make us feel better, billionaire proves they can be idiots too

    I happen to read a lot about publically traded companies, and I do not have a specific bias being pro or anti-China. I do not know the history of each company in China, but in the case of eBay, there were many operational mistakes. For example, eBay in China kept replacing their executives...

    To make us feel better, billionaire proves they can be idiots too

    I am pretty sure about these facts, but If I am wrong, please feel free to correct me. Phillips invented the CD, but Sony mass-produced out and sold more than anyone when the technology started being widespread.

    Way before Alibaba prospered along with Alipay and his other affiliate companies, eBay brought it's model to China and failed financially and operationally. Not every business model could just be copied overseas.

    To make us feel better, billionaire proves they can be idiots too

    Maybe he should not. Quite often, the most successful leaders surround themselves with people who are way smarter than them. It wasn't Steve Jobs who created the interface and design for his products, and I am sure that it wasn't Bezos who taught of every step when taking an online book store...

    To make us feel better, billionaire proves they can be idiots too

    Jack Ma is one of the most brilliant individuals that are out there. To isolate his sentence in a vacuum is somewhat limiting when you are trying to study someone. Ali Baba is not only a success story financially, but also in terms of how they reshaped the concept of customer service. He...

    Trading Futures in a 401K

    I respect your personal experience. Midland has an organized back office, and we know their office manager in Chicago who expedites the process for us. They get things done rather fast and pleasant to work with. I do not have the same experience with Millenium (sadly). I hope they have...

    Trading Futures in a 401K

    I would seek advice from Midland IRA. They are truly a good company to work with, and I would consult with them about your tax issues. Not all FCMs provide the same margins requirements for IRA, so you ned to be sure that your IRA meets their needs. We can help if necessary as we know each FCM's...

    The changing character of the Futures Market brought about with the introduction of Micro contracts.

    Every regulatory body is fighting to lower leverage on the instruments you mentioned, so some will migrate to Futures and Micros. The latest proposal to lower leverage was ASIC in Australia.
