I know you asked about books - I get a lot out of these taped interviews with traders, it is like buying 100 of the best trading books for free: https://soundcloud.com/chat-with-traders

I would not worry about 20 years from now - If anything there have been more products to trade over the years and the big fish need the small fish to always be in the pond. The best is to do both - trade and have a job. As a swing trader I thought when I had all day just to trade I would do...

Wow - you are ahead of the curve for sure having actual decent profits already made to launch from and a strong track record. Usually I would be the skeptic because most aspire tradings are banking on futures profits and have not made an money yet. Where you have the profits already and great...

Grailer - If you looked at 3,5 & 10 year ROR of a DB of 5,000 CTA managed futures and the whole sea of mutual funds you would know that a ROR over 20% is very exceptional! Now lets look at the non pro crowd - the active traders have a dismal success rate, only approx 4% can make a living at it...

Sure, its good to be optimistic but one thing nearly every long term successful trader has is a realistic view of expectancy. Shooting stars are all to common to new traders- the problem is keeping it, making large gains goes hand in hand with taking huge risks and blowing up. Having a...

Mike Pence is a throw back to the dark ages.

So far since Trump won the strongest sectors are: industrial metals (steel, aluminum), biotech, heavy construction machinery & suppliers, banks, insurance. and defense.

K- we cool - lets bury the hatchet. What do I know anyway - besides I could have easily wrote a long rant against Hillary also - just anti all of them. Lets make some money and have fun.

Lylec - your'e a piece of work - we will see how 'nothing sticks' works out in a court of law. Now implying I should jump off a bridge, well making it personal only shows you state of mind - not mine.

Trump's platform of building infrastructure was nothing new - the problem is there is no money for it. He is handing out tax breaks to the 1%ers of course - look for wealth inequality to get worse. Keep in mind Trump has driven every business into bankruptcy and burned investors - leaving them...

Yea - I noticed that heavy construction equipment and industrial metals got a big lift from the Trump win - these sectors may go on a major tear - only time will tell, I am long on every possible pull back. These were the top sectors out of 165.

that's why I closed my IB account - using only serious futures/equity brokers. IB is the Kmart of trading, you get what you pay for.

Simple, as an expert in statistics I demand my samples to be in the hundreds, preferable in the thousands, this almanac fails miserably in that regard. ______________________________________________________________________________ Freak, the stock market as we know it does not go back thousands...

The stock trader's almanac is a piece of shit because it has a very small sample in almost every report. ____________________________________________________________________________ Seriously - going back to the 50's is plenty of data. It has 4.5 stars on Amazon. Mine has paid for itself a...

An edge gives you high probabilities of winning over a large enough data set. You can have numerous edges on one trade. Take today for example: 1.) Edge #1 Historically last Friday was the largest # of consecutive down days in 36 years, unlikely to carry further. 2.) The traders almanac has the...

The rally has most likely already happened - today. The stock traders almanac shows the day before the election has finished up 81.3% of the time.

No matter what - trading takes everyone a lot of money and time to get dialed in. Sure, some people have a few good years early on - nearly all give it all back a few time over before getting and staying consistently good which is often in years 5-7. TA trading is maybe 10% charts, the other...

LONG @ 2084, 1 ES contract per 100K _____________________________________________________________________________ Nice to see someone that actually sizes their trades sensibly - 1 ES contract per $100k. Nearly every novice maxes out their leverage, that is why most go extinct inside of a few...

Well that just says it all - I could not agree more.

May be you are not understanding what it means that forex is not a zero-sum game like stocks or futures. ____________________________________________________________________ FX is a zero sum game because it is a speculative market. And like all speculative markets is simply transfers risk from...
