    Hang Seng (HSI), Kospi 200 (K200) Trading Journal! (14 Year Old Trader)

    Good luck! I also trade the HSI but I only take one trade a day. Sitting in front of the desk and trying to scalp a few ticks a dozen times is too exhausting for an old dude like me. Do you have particular setups you trade or is it just based on "feel"? BTW, why would you want to waste...

    Facebook worth 60 billion someday?

    Yes, and look at the valuation of AOL as it peaked. At its peak it was worth something like $200 billion. If you look at Yahoo, it's a piece of shit, and its still one of the most visited site on the Net. Carol Bartz is busy amputating piece after piece of that shithole, and it still is...

    Facebook worth 60 billion someday?

    EVERYTHING is marketing. That's the thing. I know someone who released a ringtone app on iPhone. He's not a tech. He's a marketing guy who licensed a bunch of stupid ringtones, and then went through and marketed this however he could. He made several hundred thousand dollars from it and...

    Facebook worth 60 billion someday?

    Wrong. There are billions of people in this world. I don't even believe the 500 million account figure. I have about 5 different accounts myself. I'm more apt to believe it's closer to 100 million. But there are billions in India and China that still don't have access yet. But that...

    Facebook worth 60 billion someday?

    MarketMasher, I'm not sure what you're point is. Is it to say that FB is overvalued at $60 billion? Yes, it very well could be. But you can't argue that it's not a success. It's already a success. Just because you don't use it, or because you think it's stupid doesn't mean it's not...

    Trading income can easily come close to or break 8 figures? Really? Is that how much you make every year?

    Facebook worth 60 billion someday?

    I'm not one to fall in love with companies or drink from the kool-aid, but Facebook has done what every other company in the world has wanted ever since the Internet has started: have the entire world as a customer. This is what Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc have each gotten a portion of it...

    Weekly results of a wanna B algo trader - 2011

    Ouch, that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. I've had a rough 3 days as well, although mainly because my system seems to really be suffering now. Sticking with the automated trades is something that I still have a really hard time with as well. But I've gotten my ass handed to me enough such...

    Weekly results of a wanna B algo trader - 2011

    I feel your pain. I just screwed my account last night by trading the DAX, which I rarely do, and then adding onto my losing positions and watching it go totally against me. I went absolutely crazy for around 30 mins, doing things I *never* do, and lost almost $2000 in a single trade. Trading...

    John Carter - Hubert Senters - tradethemarkets.com SCAMS?

    I'll search around for it, but like I said, in the end I don't really care. Others may. I personally get what I want from the nightly premium videos. I don't recall ever saying they don't scale out. I pointed out in my previous example how he scaled out of the trade a few weeks ago and...

    John Carter - Hubert Senters - tradethemarkets.com SCAMS?

    I've been following their premium newsletters for the last year. What you're saying is completely untrue. Like I said John just recently had a trade in wheat for over 100 cents, and Hubert just tonight closed a trade out for over 700 YM points. John caught something like 50 ES points on the...

    John Carter - Hubert Senters - tradethemarkets.com SCAMS?

    So your entire argument has unraveled to the single argument that they are scammers because they don't show their trading records. Without watching them or knowing anything about them, you believe that because they don't produce trading records, they must be lying about how good they are...

    John Carter - Hubert Senters - tradethemarkets.com SCAMS?

    I really don't want to come across as a TTM-defender, even though I like them. I don't want to get into a position where I'm defending them, because frankly they can defend themselves if they want. But with respect to what you wrote, it's clear you don't know anything about them. I think...

    John Carter - Hubert Senters - tradethemarkets.com SCAMS?

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion but my question to you is, if they produced records, would you honestly believe it? I'd bet that you would think that they faked their records, or that they only showed partial records. Is it that no matter what proof they gave, you would think they were...

    John Carter - Hubert Senters - tradethemarkets.com SCAMS?

    Their website is back up. It turned out to be an upgrade problem on the service provider end, it had nothing to do with any legal problems or hacker attacks. I'm a subscriber, so take my comments knowing this. I'm very wary of stock scams and people selling "the holy grail' of trading, so...

    Vmw

    Does anyone have any opinions on VMW? What happens to a market leader when it loses its momentum? VMW has not only decidedly closed below its 50-day MA, but it just broke through the upward channel on the downside. Any opinions on what fate lies ahead of VMW? Will VMW share the same...

    Trading: SSD write speeds

    The programs could be writing log files or storing historical data in its database. That being said, it likely isn't doing a lot of hard drive access at all, at least not enough to affect your performance. Even if it were writing, it's likely getting written to either OS file-level cache (if...

    this today 2/21 on Holiday=tomorrow 2/22=HUGE market moves=must note

    I have a sneaking suspicion that the markets slowly recover throughout today, have a big jump up for the European open, get within a few points of break even before the open, and then go green 30 mins into the US session. That's the way this market has been behaving for the last year, no gap...
