let me ad something to my last post...that same guy... If you look at the local currency, his signature is on it! wrong guy to give the finger to in a crowded room!

I have a bad habit of playing with people...when it doesnt seem like playing. I sometimes give them a "jestful middle finger". I do it to my dad, my wife, my boss, coworkers...whoever. Most of the time it is understood as playful. To add insult to injury, i live in a foreign country...

interesting thought..and topic. I had some similar thoughts the other day as i was contemplating the difference between gambling in a casino and in the markets. In my mind, there is not much difference, you are playing the odds to some degree. However, i never understood how gambling was...

wilbur, there is a huge variety of instruments to trade...but you probably dont want to trade them. main reason is liquidity. If you find some liquid emerging market securities...more than likely they are government bonds...probably no good futures attached to them to make them tradeable...

there is a prop firm here in costa rica???? i would love to see it. I am in Santa ana i work for the bolsa nacional. shoot me a PM...well grab an imperial. Pura Vida, Dan

He does have grea info, oyu are right, i noticed the other day. He does index futures and is intra day correct? I am stocks...swing. I am leaning toward a simple moving average in the direction of the major trend with trendline break downs as stops.... my eyeballs are starting to hurt...

I mean 5 days straight...like non stop. never mind that past 5 years.....

"buy and hold" buffett?????? that guy is not an inspiration.

i have been infront of this stinking screen for the past 5 days trying to determine what indicators to use where. I like moving averages for their simplicity, but it seems like the behavior of the stock can change at any time to where MA is useless, and another method comes in play. what...

ill back him up on the fact that even though it was not a tiger... the lingo is different country to country. it goes for all kinds of things. here a "trailer" is an 18 wheel truck. Lingo will change country to country. Where is live good food is "rico" or rich. I said that once in mexico...

great idea. are you profitable now? were you profitable before? the problem with giving up the news for me is the entertainment value...

Seems to me...as much as i love them...that CNN, CNBC, BLoomberg and the rest really could my trading judgement. In the past i have read the news 5-10 times per day...half the time it almost gives ma a heart attack! i am thinking about changing that to where i go 100% mechanical to keep...

nah. his description was dead on. i was wrtiting a reply post to that effect last night and then changed my mind. when you live in third world countries...you have to get it off your chest sometimes. I could rant for a while myself! i got stuck in a 12 foot aluminum jon boat about 5...

I was thinking the other day....if I could meet say "hi and thanks" to one person or one trader that really made a difference to me...who would it be? maybe it is a book, or a legend, or a story, or a bank account that really inspired you..sho would it be... For me it is a very close #1...

i like a lots of these... I feel like the negative guy much of the time becuse i am also very bearish on 2006, 2007. I hope tht everything will be cherry...but just doesnt look that way. Lets not forget the bird flu....if that bugger mutates....40% of the world will be sick...5%+ will...

huge help dean..thanks amigo. It shows your registered in 2003 and this is your first post? i am honored. i also dont understand the argument that MAs might not work...maybe they dont pick the exact top or bottom....but i prefer a slightly later entry after direction has been confirmed.

no doubt you are right there! the rat race here is no where near what it is in the states...and that i dont miss at all. But form a trading perspective, unreliable technology or service providers can cost you a bundle if you get stuck in a trade. There are always poitives and negatives...

Hi guys i live in Costa Rica. It has the largest US expat population in the world by denisity. I am originally from Fort worth. I have been almost everywhere in latin america..not really the island of the caribbean...a little in europe a long time ago. not aisa, austrailia, or africa. I...

great feed back thanks! i think this exact explination is why i have been unsuccessful with my past approaches...i have not tried to identify the differences. i think to that different moving average may identify to what degreee the markets are trending. Longer MAs define longer trends...

have never been a big fan of overbought oversold indicators...seems to me that they trigger to get out of a position when large moves are taking place when those rare large moves are what really matter sometimes.
