    Where are the peak oilers ?

    Just because "peak credit" has hit, doesn't mean "peak oil" has gone away as an issue. It all depends on whether the future economic recovery is built on sustainable use of energy resources.

    Leverage beyond 1:100?

    When calculating risk, you have to take the worst case. The worst case is a market gap against you. Say it gaps 100pips against you. It doesn't matter if your stop is -5pips or -50pips, you get filled at -100pips. There's a reason why brokers don't base margin calculations on where your stops...

    Leverage beyond 1:100?

    Not correct. If you are trading using 100:1 leverage, you cannot limit losses to 2%. The spread alone could put you more than 2% down. At normal levels, I agree, leverage doesn't equate to risk, but very high leverage implies a big chunk of the account at risk on each trade.

    It's hardly seamless. I've never seen so much nonsense stitched together in one method.

    Perhaps his name is Mr A J Martingale. :D. I'm sure his strategy is perfectly sound. After all he has been doing it for over three months.

    I've been daytrading with CMC for 5 years and have not seen anything like that. Strange.

    Perhaps you shouldn't just be a puppet of the complain button, maybe some discretion could also be used.

    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT system works just fine.

    I was trying to have a discussion with the OP about what he posted. I should start a new thread. OK. That's reasonable. :confused:

    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT system works just fine.

    Why have you not deleted all of Jack's off-topic posts. This is not a JH bootcamp thread. It's about the OPs method which is only loosely based on what he has read about SCT. If JH wanted to start a boot camp he should have started his own thread. The OP has been forced off his own thread by JH...

    Bank withdrawals & Cash hoarding

    Gold isn't really useful in that sort of scenario. It's more of a long term store of wealth. If too many people start to keep their cash at home, the government can force them to bring it back to the banks by changing the bank notes. I can't see the point of having more than a few weeks...
