    Edge in trading the Hang Seng Index

    How do you calculate the value of the Hang Seng index? The expert here on Hang Seng trading is ET99. He thought bollinger bands were useful. I'm not sure if he was for real. He had a win rate of about 90%. Do a search on his name and you should find the thread.

Practice with your IB simulation account until you can show a consistent profit, then practice with real money. Start by posting a trading plan that will cut...

    Hey kid... Trade or Fade?

    There's more than just two choices of (1) trade or (2) fade. There's a third choice of stay on the sidelines until you know it's safe to get into the pool.

    Why doesn't nobody buy stocks with 15-20% dividend?

    The reason for that high dividend is because the market is pricing in declining dividends. That's the reason for the gap down in the chart. The divy was decreased for the next quarter. And yes, NLY does use leverage and sometimes those types of stocks can quite rapidly go to zero. Look what...

    If you never went to college, what's the best job to have now?

    Amish farmer or Amish business. They get by with just an 8th grade education, raise huge families, refuse all social security benefits, and make a living in this world without relying upon modern technology. There's a huge difference between education and schooling.

    DeMark Prime

    It's crap. If it was actually worth anything, he wouldn't be selling it. Instead, he would be trading it himself and enjoying the riches. Finally, it is suspicious that a poster with only 8 posts is asking about it. It looks like vendor spam.

    You know what blows me away about being a discretionary trader? How one slip....

    Try Texas No-limit Hold'em Poker: one impulsive all-in call can wipe out gains from hours of disciplined play in the blink of an eye. Sometimes, when a raise is too big, you have to fold'em even if you think you have the better hand. Risk control and discipline are your gods. Disrespect them...
