What does my net worth have to do with your ridiculous statements, you moron? Are you pissed or on drugs shithead? You're about to win a prize, Stupidest Poster On Elitetrader. Congratulations.

I think you may be even more dumb than the OP.

If you are dumb enough to believe you can make money from playing baccarat, you really shouldn't be trading at all. There is some dependency between rounds i.e. if you counted cards if might give you some advantage, but NOT enough to overcome the house advantage. From...

Really? Where is this no house edge game being played?

"Prior to trading I played poker & baccarat. I have net a respectible amoung of money playing both " How do you make money playing baccarat (over the long term)?

I was in college and trading options. Almost lost my whole acct (wasn't much, about £5k) by buying puts and selling them out for a loss. I was basically fighting the rise of the stock market, I think it looked overvalued (yes was a fundamentalist then). Had maybe £1k left. Stuck it all on FTSE...

What the hell is DISINFLATION????????? The numbers from that link, crooked as they are, show persistent inflation. I can't for the life of me figure out why you guys* would let your authorities to deliberately try and raise your entire cost of living. *Actually, not fair. The idiots...

By definition, all winning trades must mean that you were "in the trend" for at least a portion of the time between your entry and exit.. For example say you bought at 10 and sold at 20. The trade took an hour. For a portion (or perhaps the full hour) you were in the trend.

Assuming a daytrader is losing money, it's an important question. If a large proportion of the losses are because of commissions, the trader has to change his strategy e.g. trade less, higher time frames, perhaps different instruments. Even if s/he isn't losing, you still need to look at how...

When they announce QE2, I will sell. (buy on the rumour, sell on the news, right?)

Right...well, now pls feel to discuss my idea of buying options rather than trying to predict the exact low.

One way of playing this might be to buy short to medium term calls on the futures...say 0.25% of your account. (just a thought though, please don't put me on your ignore list!)

:D Ok, not hypothetical! I only said that because of the comments made by the two posters after my opening post. STILL, I know how I'm trading there, but I'm curious as to how others would approach it.

Let's just say it's a hypothetical situation. Assume you are allowed the following instruments (trades have to be closed out by the end of end, so talking about day trading, nothing longer): * FTSE * DAX * CAC * EURO STOXX * GILT * BUND * EURUSD *...

If there was no commission and no spread i.e. you trade at the midpoint between the normal bid/offer, which futures markets would you trade and on what time period?

From your professor's excel sheet: "This workbook is used to show that coin tosses can generate charts that look very similar to the types of charts that technical analysts use to forecast future stock price moves. You will notice all of the same patterns as seen in normal stock (High Low...

Yes, but only in a historical sense. There is no predictive power as to whether the trend of heads will continue (assuming a fair coin). Past outcomes do not influence future ones. This is evidently not the same in a market where the decisions of previous buyers /sellers, as expressed by the...

I don't understand this statement, can you clarify pls?

So you're saying that there is a statistical edge?

If so, can you please tell me what it is? N.B. I'm not saying that you need an edge necessarily to make money...
