I understand your point. I am not expecting to make money from the get go. I am seeking guidance above anything else. ie. WHAT factors to consider when choosing which market to trade, with WHICH instruments to trade it, HOW to structure a business plan out of a trading edge, WHAT to look for...

Hello everyone, I will be finishing my Marketing degree now in june and would like to get into trading as a career. I know that my educational background isn't exactly compatible with that of trading - but I have read a lot about successful traders which dont have degrees in Quantitative...

Thanks for clearing that up. :)

Could you please elaborate which kind of charts you recommend then for studying price action more clearly? I don't understand what do you mean by "a chart that is not a fixed time fractal". Thanx in advance.

I just stumbled upong the following website: http://www.worldslaves.citymax.com/page/page/195600.htm Before anyone labels me as a conspiracy theorist or similar, please know that I just want to look at the issue of money with a critical mind and unbiased perspective. Please take the...

Hola Pepero, se ve que tu cuenta no te permite recibir mensajes privados.. De todas formas: Que instrumento operais? Sobre que subyacente? Y que es exactamente lo que buscais en cuanto a nuevos miembros que quieran unirse? Saludos, Chirag

No need to flare up :eek: My stops will decide and close the losing position - I do not aim to predict when to exit one account and let the other one run. Any one know how I can backtest this kind of strategy?

My stop losses dictate the exit point. I let the market do whatever it has to. If upon exiting the loser my winner starts reversing, well the trail stop ensures I get out at my winner's entry point. The net loss equals the stop price on the losing account [which would be the same had I taken...

I believe one can never be sure how "correct" or "precise" a signal or indicator can be. Markets are too dynamic and contain many unknown unkowns. What is it exactly i need to think? And what has that got to do with my actions? Kindly explain. Regards, Chirag

What if one doesn't know where the market is going?

I trade the main spanish index. mini ibex 35. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5EIBEX Regards, Chirag

what about the lack of liquidity and volume on the back months? And do the prices on both contracts (front and back month) move at the same speed? I have always thought the back month has lagged and is less volatile when it comes to price moves in the market. Thanx for helping out.

do you basically rely on trendlines and previous support / resistance levels to determine your long & short entry points? Thanx for your insights.

If I stay flat I am out of the market and I really do not know which direction the market wants to take me - so by the time I realise which way to pull the trigger, I am already chasing a move. By entering randomly with two opposite positions, I could care less where the market goes. What I...

Has anyone tried trading futures simultaneously using two different accounts with two different brokers? My point is: entering a long position on one account and entering a short position on the other account at the same price level - basically hedging your position (ie. delta neutral)...

care to elaborate? how can back month futures with lower prices indicate a bullish signal? what is your reasoning?

IMHO good sell signal for crude :)

CL Futures chain is in backwardation. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/fc?s=CLM08.NYM does this indicate bearish sentiment on the future price of crude? Thanx for any help.

I haven't been following this thread from the beginning. could you please explain how you implement this "dynamic hedge"? Thanks in advance.

similar inverse correlation occurs with the us indices and the yen. I have yet to determine the causality of the events - whether selloffs in equities provoke movements of capital towards the yen currency; or yen strengthening forces investors to unwind their carry trade positions. ahh...
