    I am single and living at home with parent’s to keep costs down. I have been at this for 3 years and although most around me wonder what on earth I am doing wasting my time I have decided to keep going until I either run out of funds or passion to succeed. I am not pessimistic It is juts...

    Trading for profit a fools game?

    So few people make money trading, are we all deluding ourselves that one can actually make money consistently trading? I think if most people on this forum are honest over time they have done nothing but loose money trading. People posting their P and is a sign of lack of long term...

    Mechanical systems a route to the poor house.

I realised after reading Fooled by Randomness of the folly of my actions. You can always back test to data and skew...

    CME and Forex

    I read with interest the recent moves towards finalising a spot forex market traded through the globex system. Presumably this will act as a liquidity pool alongside the interbank market rather than providing direct access to it given the non uniform nature of the contracts. My question is...

    Structure of the S@P pit

    Hi , first post so forgive me if it has already been covered. I was wondering if anyone knew the structure in terms of trading size of the SP emini and full contract. Is it dominated by 10 or so large locals or is it completely fragmented. Are there any super traders accounting for large...
