    Ensign Software - Gone to the DOGS

    Same thing here. Latest update was taking an eternity to update and load charts. Have likewise uninstalled and installed the 11/03 version which is a real improvement. However, agree with last post and feel an update should be an improvement on performance and not retrograde. I like Ensign for...

    STOCK TRADING

    Whispers in the ear, "go on, look at all the money there is to be had out there. Just reach out and grab it. It's for the taking...yadda, yadda. It's the devil of a business. Far too easy to get into, like writing. All great writers are self taught, they have never gone on a writing course. They...

    Getting good at trading currencies

    Holding currency for weeks/ months will work anything shorter is suicide. Forget all the candlestick crap what is the economy doing?is the currency being bought? And what are other currencies doing in relation to it. INVEST in currrency.

    Is Sadism The Key?

    Trading is a sterile, mindless, exploitative endeavour where selfish aquisitiveness can make you a winner. Life should be about love. The only thing it has going for it is the need for courage. A great manly and noble trait. But men cannot be men just staring at a screen all day. It appeals to...

    "Why Technical Analysis is Nonsense"; Views?

    Perhaps orthadox TA is simply a way of pinpointing 'dark pools'. Our faith should be heterodox not orthodox otherwise we are the exploited masses. The gullible who believe that if we are good and respectful we will be rewarded. In this way TA can be a crutch like religion. Without sounding like...

    "Why Technical Analysis is Nonsense"; Views?

    What is that assertion, "the little man simply provides liquidity for the real money". Here's an idea: the big boys use TA to get the best entries because they know where the 'liquidity' is lurking. Jesus, just look at the balance sheets of the leviathons, I hate the fact but they will always be...

    You daytrade because you don't have a life?

    You're thinking of the great masturbator Diogenes, who would alarm the passers by in Athens. Socrates had a single regret on his deathbed, that he still owed a friend a chicken, hence the allusion. I thought it would be nice to reunite them in the eternal sphere: Socrates and his bird.

    You daytrade because you don't have a life?

    Socrates, the immortal, watches from his tree stump up on mount parnassus, stroking his chicken, among the gods, and chuckles to himself "they're still at it after all these centuries!"

    Don't laugh: Comparison to Zen.

    Depression is a natural state for man. When we think we have to be happy in this world of transient pleasure we get into trouble. Nothing is true. Nothing really matters. Man naked and alone. Get a good woman (looks go quickly and do not matter), a dog and some fine wine. Find a great view away...

    Amateur trading move-why traders lose

    Another potential killer is using tiny time frames. Beginners are ever mindful of the value of a single tick, often far too much leverage. Combine this with choppy and wild and you've got some shit scared consistent losers. A crazy game. Better to pull back and loosen things up. listen to some...
