    Yes, another one

    Strategy is EVERYTHING. It's the FOUNDATION of making money in the markets. If you don't think this is so, use a simple MA crossover system but with 100% perfect sizing and with the best mental psychology in the world and tell us how it all went. In fairness though, of course sizing and...

    But many professional traders are excellent writers (on investing/trading). One of the best is Mark Spitnagel. Another is Peter Lynch. Neiderhoffer also writes well but likes to jerk off to people with top class degrees. Soros's two books were excellent, although deep.

    US gov't vs Bitcoin

    It has massive utility value, you could not be more wrong. For example, last year it transfered in excess of $1trillion in value and all without a bank or permission. And it will do more this year. Anyone spot a trend? Only last week someone moved $1billion+ for less than $5 and in less than 1...

    US gov't vs Bitcoin

    If one pays a fair price for power then nobody has a right to say how/what/where they can use that power. And to say that Bitcoin is destroying thr world for nothing is just pathetic. And I think you'll find that free online porn is far more detrimental to soceity than Bitcoin ever could be...

    It's the timeframe...gaddammit

    True. Anyone who says don't trade the 1m because there's too much noise/nonsense hasn't taken the time to properly research the 1m world. If they had, they'd find out it's the best time-period to short term trade the markets. Plus, if you're good on the 1m you can be good on ANY other timeperiod.

    Problems countertrend trading the index futures

    Only take the second trade, ie get the market to prove itself first before shorting. So price goes down and you get a short signal. Don't take it, just watch. If the market is heading lower (from the 1st potential short which you didn't take) it will more often than not, offer up a second...

    US gov't vs Bitcoin

    If you think Bitcoin is for buying a cup of coffee then you have a lot to learn. As for the power usage, why are you picking on Bitcoin. Why aren't you picking on 500+ TV channels, useless internet usage, porn and so on?

    How is CFG forex trading different from Spot Forex trading?

    Some clients prefer to trade CFDs while others Spot. If 2 traders (one using Spot and the other CFDs) take 20 ticks out of the price, and their size is the same, the profit will also be the same. If there's a difference it will be down to commissions and/or overnight financing costs. Also...

    US gov't vs Bitcoin

    I assume you're talking about the US government? Let's assume it did ban BTC outright. But Europe and the Far Eastern countries didn't. They elected to work with it. Assume also that Bitcoin doesn't go away, it's decade of growth and acceptability continues. The US is going to look pretty...

    Bitcoin is not for you then. Keep your money in a Fed insured bank. For others who hold Bitcoin, many have taken the necessary precautions (not hard, 101 online guides avbailable) so if they are hit by a bus or their house burns down, they won't lose a single Sataoshi. As for the one's that...

    Poll: Will Bitcoin hit $2500 in the next 18months?

    You're talking about Exchanges being hacked and not Bitcoin. Bitcoin is basically unhackable as had been proved over the last 10 years and will continue to be proved over the coming decades. For anyone that lost Bitcoin because they held it on an Exchange they only have themselves to blame...

    Poll: Will Bitcoin hit $2500 in the next 18months?

    You can't of course make the same comparison. However, the comparison I was making is simple. Bitcoin, like computers in the beginning, was hard to use (and even buy). Command line etc. But over time the developers make things easier so opening up the technology to ever more people. Now people...
