If you are a duel citizen and one of those are US, you still pay US taxes, above are beyound your primary. What we are in the process of investigating further is also the CLEANEST way if your US citizen... Bahamas. Makes you an automatic citizen if your purchase a home worth over...

Trading longer than need, ie. past the AM, put a HUGE burden on your emotions and discipline. For myself, staying disciplined for a hour or so is far easier than the 6 or so hours that the market is open. In fact it takes some dicipline to walk away after the AM if you don't have other...

F-Trader... Daytrading is done by 10:30 eastern I also find giving money back if I go longer. So you must find something else to do! I am up in the north east and I have invested in a small library of Strategy Computer Games. SimCity 3000 (build, and maintain a city) Railroad...

Program trading finally kicked in this morning! 1224.50 hit! Just had to wait all weekend.. where to now?

Macro, umm I think Nitro is supposed to be be perfect or right... BUT as I see it... Do you want to be RIGHT? or Do you want to be RICH? I still average 21.8 points an hour... Much more than you! :D have a good evening...

Nitro, Gee, thanks for adding me to your moron pile. And oh, thanks for adding so much to this thread. It's kind of funny the more money you make and the more trading sucess you have... the bigger you smile when someone calls you a moron... ====== Macro, thanks for the charts...

Professional traders aren't worried about their upside because good traders know they are going to get their share most of the time once they do their research and have concluded that a market has been deemed tradeable and they have understood the statistical implications of their system/style...

Look enough with the 2 year old behavior!!! Macro posted his exp. nothing more. If a trader feels challenged by that than go start another thread. Who can piss further or faster is not the focus of this, if a trader feels the need to slam someone because they read into a post the wrong...

hahaha although I must say I do like nitro's political commentary... I agree with what I have seen thus far :D ===== Nitro could you add somthing to this? And I don't mean more popcorn, salt, pepper, whatever... From what I gather, you have strong analytical background... why is...

The lower your % profits, the higher your win to loss should be. I average 2 to 3 trades a month. 48% profitable. 6.7 to 1 - win to loss... Average over the past 5 years... live trading. Don't go too much lower than 50% profitible trades as emotionally it is tough to take 5 or 10...

Macro... From the sounds of it you will have to post it far more than a week. To prove to anyone who is a 'veteran' trader or refers to themselves as such would need no less than 17 years of daily postings. Even then they may not believe it so.... F**K IT! Dance to your own music, those...

would it not be true that the less points you strive for the more consistent your returns would be? ie earning 100 points a year in swing trading could lead to good and bad months. but earning .5 points a day should be easier, no?

candletrader----- how do you limit the downside? Meaning at what point do you say this is a bad trade? How much against your postion do the market move... .5, 1.0, 1.5 pts? Also do you make your .5 and walk? Thanks

people can make 1+ points a day... BUT how long can they hold on to it? Can they go to the bank with it or 6 months down the road do they have to give it back through a drawdown? ============= QUESTION: (to further our knowledge) Assuming you can make 1 point a day. What...

hmmm, all this 1 point talk makes you wonder. Is the glass half empty or half full? Those who swear by making 1 or 2 points... are we just in a special point in time that allows for this? 4-5 years ago... 1 point could be made in a bout 20 seconds... 10 points in 10 minutes. BUT how...

Jem, how long would you have to prove it? Kind of a crappy question but are you talking over the last 2 years, 5 years, months? also, 1 point is a large percent of the ATR, but are you not discounting the fact that the market rises and falls far many points in a typical day?

grob, I for one appreciate the insight. I also believe that as in life, we are all at different levels of emotional development. ie, if you are homeless, all you want is food and shelter... if you are a billionaire, you may find money pointless, and need some other meaning for your...
