this is a good point and i want to elaborate on something. i know i am not the only one who has done this - in the beginning of my trading days and up till about the past six months, i would be on a roll. just unstoppable. then, all of a sudden i would try to fix what wasn't broken. i'd...

i'm mixed on these two. i've met both in person a few times. overall, they are good guys. i don't agree with many of their concepts, but that's just life. to a new trader i would endorse them over anyone else. to high-level investors i would not endorse them. just because i don't...

other - automation. also sticking to the plan. that has helped my discretionary side. i have alerts go off and when levels are hit, i look at the chart for MAYBE 1-2 seconds, and decide right away. if i don't KNOW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT not to take the trade, then i don't take it...

a) i don't trade stocks, I trade currencies. b) i've blown out about 4 accounts in my 2.5 years of trading. not just small 5k accounts either. not huge by "trading" standards, but easily lost over 200k in the markets. i know what it is like to lose. not claiming to be a guru or a...

what are you smoking, bigtrends is the best! :D obviously that's sarcastic. i used to work for them as an analyst when i was naive to the industry. it didn't last long. when i was allowed to trade my way, then i was stellar with futures and FX. when Price decided that the customers...

Very cool of you. Wish i'd had someone who shared my passion for the markets as a kid. I'm only 22 now, but successful and when my girls grow to know enough of what i'm doing, i'll show them the door, but they'll have to walk through it.

"...i think..."

so true, many guys with EAs as good or better than mine haven't touched that contest. why take the chance? 40 grand is nothing to us now, plus the annoyance of having to be "famous" with all the demo trading Metatrader guys.

hi all, i need help finding "bone" - can anyone assist me? i further bid a $100 finder's fee for this. :D thanks! bigtrendscott@yahoo.com and YES i already tried contacting the forum admins, but the email address that was on file was invalid...

excellent. if you really want something badly enough in life, you will find a way, no matter what, to reach it.

i autotrade my own strategy...? does that count? :)

i'll have to run the statements through some software to get me the values; i don't keep track of it whatsoever. i care most about the curve as said above, along with the PTV drawdowns which have been consistently under 6% since inception (about six months ago). the thing i care most about...

i'm fully automated on spot FX via Metatrader 4. trades between 30-50 times per day. i never thought i'd say it, but fully automated is the ONLY way to go. i've also become a much better discretionary trader since being fully automated because i really don't care if they are winning...

yes, i do via MT4 on 3 pairs. couldn't be happier at age 22. whenever i get my discretionary method coded that will be even better and i can run that in the futures markets as well as FX.

the satisfaction of helping others create wealth from your teachings would eliminate any feelings of unhappiness on my part... i'm only 22 so i haven't mentored anyone yet. when my girls become of age i'll teach them if they want to know how. too early to tell at this point. i will say...

Hi again all, Can you recommend to me some of the office chairs that you have or have seen and dreamed about? I can't take this fold-up Wal-Mart $20 metal chair much longer. I've seen www.ergonomicofficechairs.com but haven't had enough time to browse them just yet. I'd really like to...

you wouldn't have seen it posted, it was said by Charles Drummond...

a great trader once said: "I am not a groupie", "the only thing groups are good for is shaking hands", "we lie to ourselves as we group togther with our trading problems".

Don you make good points here. Also whomever said "that which gets you into a trade also gets you out" is dead on. I recently have used this approach (probably for the past year) and my gains have increased exponentially. When i see a setup for the next type of trading then i exit my current...

Hi all, Many thanks for the help in previous posts here. I'm now focused on the internet connection. I currently have RoadRunner residential and my ping times are ridiculous - roughly 250m/s on average. But my browsing speed and all that are fine, it's just not fast enough for my...
