Billions lost a year due to fraud . Dead people's SS# being used , identity theft everywhere and the IRS is retarded so they can't even stop it. I really feel for the people who got there identity stolen through no fault of their own and now have a HUGE mess on their hands that can ruin a good...

OP, trading advantages aside, If you risk 1% or less of your account per trade it makes blowing up a lot less likely than if you are risking > 2% per trade. Stop over levering.

My question to those who quit daytrading . What do you do with any funds you have left over now? Give them to someone else to manage, diversified portfolio, buy and hold stocks or some other product, cash? In other words what is your trade now?

Thanks for your opinion, surely you would short it with such foresight. Where are you short(ing) from? I am on a quest to find just one person who made money shorting bitcoin since I hear all you geniuses tell me everyday how bitcoin is dead/dying yet can't put your money where your mouth is.

"Coinbase, a software company that allows people to buy bitcoin and enables businesses to accept it as payment, has closed a giant $75 million investment. In real U.S. dollars. The round is by far the biggest investment in a bitcoin company to date. Beyond its size, the funding is sure to make...

Lol no that isn't me, it is some random guy on reddit who posted in the /bitcoin section. Thought it was comical how commited some people are to sell their car in order to go all in on btc.

stocks like citi and other TBTF banks are more fantasy than btc IMO yet how many billions of fun coupons are those worth? The fact a real asset like oil or silver can have huge swings means that bitcoin or anything else can too. One can send $82MM today for 4 cents of a fee through bitcoin...

"If Bitcoin falls under 99$ I will sell my car and buy it all in BTC - and catch the bus from now on. " reddit Some people are truly all in :) balls or brains, what is the difference lol

stocks,oil,silver...anything else can have 86% declines, why not bitcoin :) When there is blood in the streets...... I Bot @ 600, (300,150 on flash crash a while back...lucky), and will buy 75 if it gets there. Only those who are in too deep with position size and panic sold got screwed...

Good to hear , Oanda is one of the relatively better capitalized retail shops so hopefully they stay in good shape. seeing on my news feed... "Forex.com suspended trading in the Swiss currency after the central bank announcement." don't know if that is temporary or what.

was looking at oanda positions last week, 95% of positions trading at oanda where net long eurchf . Will be interesting to see the fallout from this move in the coming month among various shops and funds.

Oanda is the only place I know that shows all orders and positions within their system for everyone to see. I'd imagine most brokers can pretty much see all the customers orders that are sitting there waiting to be executed.

I agree that oil is a great product and store of value . It has many important applications at this point in time. Governments and central banks hold gold because it has been recognized as money for thousands of years. MONEY: something generally accepted as a medium of exchange, a measure...

Agree, All it takes is one bad weekend news event or one orchestrated surprise event by henchmen and all of a sudden poof big gap down sun night ... "Oops S&P wasn't as risk free as I thought " says the ES margined long

Ahilles28, I like the original post. The yen has also been a nice trend the past couple years.

Thanks!

oops!

If I may ask , what are you risking in percentage terms on this aud/jpy trade? Have had the view that Japan is the worst printer out of major central bank and is kind of forced to continue... Where is the thread "Gotta Love ZERO RISK in printing yen!!!!!" ?

Exactly, the battle is won before it is fought! Have to find out where the gold is first before wasting big money. Same with pretty much any biz especially trading. Another lesson from the show, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Stick to what you know. (Todd going to jungle after actually...

Also, Where can I find info on how each matching algo specifically works in different futures markets? k algo ect. Looked for links on CME but can't seem to locate the right place for this info? Anyone have a link or pdf?
