    Can completely discretionary traders every succeed?

    as I mentioned in another thread where they were asking if a Lineair Regression was better than a Moving Average: (http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=810448#post810448) and here is what my system indicated as a higher probability some time ago when it was mentioned...

    Can completely discretionary traders every succeed?

    Respectfully disagree. The basic human fear ( and greed is another form of fear: fear to "miss the boat" ) and manipulation are not changing during the ages. Impatience is another human trait that plays an important role. IF you understand what moves the markets AND have the ability to...

    Same here, cannot stand the "bloat" of MSN and the other -proverbial brown matter of a liquid smelly nature-. I remember the days my neighbour was at the local polytechnic. And there on a PC with a DX4-74 CPU, 24Mb of RAM and 2 x 300Mb SCSI hard disks he had 50 Oracle students and another 40...

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    trading is a profession, 39% tax. Australia is worse, I believe some areas are 49%. Best to go to Singapore, Hong Kong etc and then move to the next country three months later and be a "visitor". You can also organize to have a company in one of those countries and then have permanent...

    Who says they were crawling? The tunnel was 28" or so WIDE, no mention of the height, they could have been walking. Wide enough for a wheelbarrow (ever tried to carry 3.5 tonnes?) The devil is in the details.... Sherlock :cool:

    A shoulder to cry on

    Did you papertrade until you could trade your system in your sleep? Could you papertrade your system emotionless? Until you can do this and show a decent profit you have no business trading with real money. Trading = exploiting fear (and greed is another form of fear) Sherlock :cool...

    Ib Tws Down

    If you have an alternative setup (through other channels / brokers / datafeed ) then you can proceed trading through that. I am very risk averse. If I have an open position then I either close it out or offset it. If I see signs of instability for whatever reason then I start...
