I'd forward test with small size in a LIVE environment first, then work your way up if it's working as it did in SIM . SIM doesn't do justice for real life slippage, fills, ect. The COST of comish, spread, slippage needs to be carefully understood in your market. Beating costs is huge for...

Oanda is another retail platform that has usd/cnh (offshore rmb) I'm long, I think they devalue further, but what do I know.

We all have our vices.

The ego is the source of all drama, who cares what someone else thinks. If you are losing money, you probably feel like a piece of crap and what your doing isn't justified. If you are making money, you should have no shame. Every time I get a haircut the lady asks what I do for a living and I...

Agree, Why do most small businesses fail in the first 2 years. Similar reasons. In fact, Even if I told OP a method that works, What are the chances he/she follow it with discipline? Losing weight is simple really. But how many can do it and keep it off? Why are 2/3rds of Americans...

"Why do most retail forex folks lose money?" No proven , tested, and robust method that overcomes costs of doing business. No discipline. Poor capitalization. Unrealistic expectations. a few of many reasons.

"Factor LLC is the organizational entity through which Peter L. Brandt trades his own proprietary accounts and provides personal opinions about futures, forex and equity markets via social media channels, including email" I thought I heard him say in an interview that he never got paid 2%, 20%...

Peter L Brandt has one of the best audited records that has been allowed to be known by the public that I've seen for an individual trader. Compounded annual growth rate of 41% over 18 years. Anyone else see anything better? Oh and surf, if you are reading, Peter likes to use Classical TA for...

Patterns can "work" on any timeframe, But do you really want to be trading every pattern on a 30 second chart racking up comish and spread costs so frequently in relation to the size of the move? Also, you think soros is tick f*cking on a little timeframe? The whales are watching the...

If you are going to call someone an idiot, at least do it with proper english. Your use of "an" is wrong, idiot. Be nice you asshole :)

Earlier this year hackers got 30 million Federal Employee's data . If all those ss#'s were compromised that could really eff things up come tax time or for just identity theft in general (ruining ppls credit, ect).

UAL and NYSE says it was internal glitches, FBI says it is monitoring situation. Something smells fishy. China halt on same day, quite a coincidence, if you believe in those.

no losses? EMG is that you?

I was also thinking it could be the actual people (or friends) who are about to release a high impact news item who are doing the buying? After all they are at the forefront of the info curve.

I just saw a fellow on the net the other day talking about sykes when he was on Wallstreet Warriors the TV show. "I've been enjoying Wall Street Warriors, which is on youtube. So far I've learned that Tim Sykes is a dildo." Then Sykes Himself favorited the post LMAO. He's publically admited...

Think of it this way. If you have an avg 2 pip comish+spread+slip....... on a 25 pip stop you need to make 8% a year just to break even. The wider your stop the less house vig has an impact on your bottom line. If you have 2 pips of costs per trade and use a 50 pip stop then you have to make...

I make money because I'm taking the other side when others are usually liquidating at unfavorable prices. Like if I were to buy a car from some lady who is trying to get rid of the ex husbands vehicle she won in divorce court and willing to do a quick sale below market value just to get rid of...

We need to elect the first woman president for history and equality , never mind that she's a lying, corrupt, career politician. Clinton or brother Bush. Gee , out of hundreds of millions of people we get these clowns.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Don't count your chips while your at the table. Same theme
