    Highest level of education?

    Yea, I agree. I know some people who won't even listen to the opinion of someone when they discover that person doesn't have a degree. I think they're just hurting themselves. I think we can learn a lot, from the (so called) unlearned.

    Highest level of education?

    If you're looking for a correlation between education and probability of success as a trader, I don't think you'll find one. But, there's no question education opens doors. Here's a list of people you may of heard of. BTW, they're all high school dropouts. H.G. Wells...

    Can a Graduate Degree from Oxford U help me get a salaried position in trading?

    Get that education first big guy. It may not make you a better trader, but It"ll open a hell of a lot of doors. This thread reminded me of one of my favorite quotes. When I first came down here, I was Mr. Big Ego. I had a law degree and here were all these ex-cops and truck drivers and...

    G.O. Question...

    Pretty good money for a school teacher. She must have an advanced degree. I'd have to agree with Foz. She definitely wants to get rid of that CCard debt first. Sell your newer car and drive an older one, have a garage sale...anything you can think of to raise money and pay off that debt...

    how to manage false breakouts on NQ ES

    First of all, I'd have to agree with the others. You'll probably be better off trading pullbacks. But, if you just insist on trading breakouts, this is how I would do it. BTW, just because my moniker is breakout, doesn't mean I profess to be an expert on breakouts, that's just a name I...

    New Trader tired of breaking even - Help!

    Hi ELCubano...I've noticed nobody has answered your question, so I'll put my 2 cents worth in. I know a guy whos been trading for about 22 years and this is how he trades the S&P. When he puts on a trade, he'll risk about 6 ticks. If the market gives him 12 ticks, he'll raise his stop to...

    I don't know how you figure the lines will cross and cross and cross, and I never said that the proof was because the price went up. I'm just trying to help out here. George Lane has been in this business since the early 50's. He's been trading for 50 years He was a floor broker for...

    I think George Lane understands stochastics, and I gave a direct quote from his seminar manual.

    Well, I don't mean to offend you partner, but that's not a divergence on the chart. Notice, the two purple lines. If drawn to infinity, the two lines will converge, not diverge.

    Hmmmm...never thought about it that way. I don't know if MACD and Stochastics fall into the same category, but this is how George Lane (considered by many to be "THE" authority on stochastics) explains it in his seminar manual. "When a stock or commodity has made a high, then reacts...
