Harris, on DAX I find ultra-short term (tick) scalping, getting hit on inside market, to be best with 5-10 cars max. Beyond that I find it still gets too fat, or you'll have to cross (hit/lift) by a tick or two. And if you cross market, you can get anything up to 30 cars with no more than 1-3T...

shuman_dahuman, You may want to consider just not replying here unless you really have to, i.e. when you have something valuable to contribute, rather than just write up another flame, otherwise readers who have been around a while... you know the rest. I am however allowed to say this...

To tell you the truth, if you want to learn to trade, nobody but yourself can help you. You want to trade index futures like the DAX or YM? Nobody's gonna hold your hand in hell. If you want to get in (and out again), you have to find your own ways. Start testing now. But since you're asking...

Thanks Baruch! Fantastic, very clever site! May I also recommend the following great sites: MoveOn.org (another great anti-bush site, generously sponsored by George Soros): http://www.moveon.org/front/ People For Mathematically Perfected Economy: http://www.perfecteconomy.com/ New...

True. While this happens in any world market, American brokers call the opening hour "amateur hour", because it's mostly about spanning and taking the large liquidity sitting at levels, shaking out all the overnight read-old-news-in-newspaper-and-placed-order-overnight clients. Brokers and day...

Brokers running their clients' stops??? Shouldn't this be an illegal activity? Correct me if I'm wrong. Do you have the link to MNI saying that?

Very true and yet hilarious post! Thank you! :D

In my case, around 99%. I keep a position on average for 1 minute.

How can you expect to be or stay successful or happy if you hate losses? If you want to be a top-trader, you may need to learn to love your losses. Cherish and study your losses. They are your most valuable learning source. You learn most from the losers, not the winners. However, if on...

"Hawkish" on the 'Cable', huh? Aye geezer, always learn something new. :)

Hey shaw, if you "can't afford to lose", then how about "you can't trade if you can't afford to lose"? Or for learning, how about just trading smaller? Your forex broker allows it or not? If not, sign up with www.oanda.com they offer tiny minimum units (you can basically have your grocery...

LMFAO>>>

Actually, on reflection, perhaps I am a pussy. Because looking at and particularly reading the following contribution* sent my blood pressure right to the floor. http://www.kontraband.com/html/all/show.asp?ID=919&NEXTID=0&PREVID=932&DISPLAYORDER=20030910000019&CAT=pics *Disclaimer...

Again, thanks for the words Baruch. Yes, it was about time to vacate (my first vacation in about 4 years), and very hard for me to accept the fact that I won't be "plugged in" for several weeks. My loved ones quelled any of my efforts to take a laptop or even pocket PC with me, so I guess it...

Ouch! :eek:

Never mind quotes, she loves not having to get up to change music... Lasting relationships are built on the art of constructive compromise... :D

There is something about forex that just won't let you switch off at times. I have an LCD monitor on my bedside table now, which I can use for music, music videos (or so the excuse to my better half) and of course checking quotes at night. Thanks to extended monitor cable and amazing...
