Yep, it's on paper. The damn things shows up in my mailbox every month, despite the fact I never subscribed to it. But hey, if people wanna send me free magazines, have at it :D

I'd go with AIV and AVY if I were looking for shorts in the next week or so.

Just out of curiousity... If you think America is boring, and you don't like going to nightclubs and bars, what makes Russia so exciting?

One cent? Or one pip? With no margin, one cent is about 0.8%. With 20:1 margin it's about 17%. But one cent = 100 pips on the EUR/USD. I think...might want to double check that...

http://www.ny.frb.org/pihome/addpub/usfxm/ Click on Chapter 3...there's a nice chart a few pages in that shows at what times the most transactions take place. It seems to me the biggest short term trends (1-2 min) take place during those times.

How can you daytrade FX off, say, a 1 minute chart with spreads so large? At 20:1 leverage, a 2 pip spread on the EUR/USD is a .35% loss on every trade. At OandA the EUR/USD bid/ask quote is 1.1548/50. The spread is 2 pips which is the lowest in the industry, I think. A good sized...

You say that being spoiled is a detrement to traders for whatever psychological reason. But, what if it could be helpful? A good trader is detached from his money, correct? So being spoiled and not knowing the value of a dollar could make it easy to be detached. Certainly if one is too...

For those people with long-term investing goals, would dollar cost averaging into an index (QQQ etc.) with naked puts at regular intervals be a good idea? This is instead of just buying out right. You would only actually aquire shares when the market goes abruptly lower (a good thing long...

OandA.com has no minimum acct. size and 2 pip spreads on dollar/euro, 3-4 pips for the other majors They don't use lots either. You can trade in any $ amount, meaning there's no disadvantage, trading wise, to having a $100 acct. and a $100,000 acct. The fact that there's no commission and...

Just out of curiousity, would it have made any difference if the OP made a 54% return with real trading istead of paper? Would the internship offers be rolling in???

I'm curious...b/w trading and owning his prop shops, what do you estimate Don's earnings to be?

777, Let's try to keep this discussion vaguely related to the OP... You haven't mentioned anything about Jesus H. Christ or any other specific god in your post, so I assume you're talking about a deistic version of god. Fine, as I've said, such a view of god is completely reasonable in my...

I could flip that around on religious people: Even though each scientific advancement proves more and more that their fables are wrong, each generation still remains convinced they have it right. Creationism comes to mind... At any rate, I don't disagree with many of those quotes you've put...

Reminds me a lot of the religious people i know...

Ok, you guys seem to know a lot about fitness, so maybe you can solve this mystery for me: I and two other friends got our body fat measured at the gym. Out of the 3 of us, I'm easistly the skinnest looking. I'm 5'9'' 160lbs. The other guy was about 5'10'', 180 lbs. pot belly and all. The...

Greetings, I'm the newbie piker referred to in the first post. Let me first say thanks to all those generous ET members who have helped me since I joined. You've been a great help. To all those who act personally offended by a newbie asking questions, relax...it's a friggin message board...

Without getting into the specifics, my style finds strong stocks that are temporarily pulling back and vice versa. That's a simplistic description, but it captures the basic logic behind my system. There's no guarantee it'll keep working, but what I've just described, in my opinion, will...

I've been forward testing and continually refining my system at www.virtualstockexchange.com for almost 2 years now.

indahook, I appreciate your advice. Here's the situation: My main efforts the past couple of years have been to develop a swing trading system. I believe the one I've developed works well. The system calls for me to divide my capital into 10th's. If I opened up a $2000 dollar acct. at...

Yep, I'm a bonafide piker. Actually, and I'm still a piker regardless, I have placed a real trade. Back in late '99-'00 I placed quite a few trades which resulted in me losing most of my account at Suretrade, which is why I haven't traded since and have committed myself to research. But, as I...
