This makes great sense to me though I will disagree on some of the later points. I guess people are incentivised to think that everyone who is not absolutely mediocre is abnormal. This should work for anyone who can overcome their amotions. Can you recommend any mediatation course? IOr just had...

I actually find ES journal pretty good. A lot of smart and experienced people post their trades there... often with comments regarding the motivation of the trade, target etc. If you want explanation of a trade set-up with charts, check out one of the threads by TheRumpledOne.

Wallace has broken down all the main points above: With futures you get lower commission and higher leverage during the bulk of US business hours. The downside is during European morning you are facing overnight margin, which may present inconvenience. The only things to add: 1) Many...

If you say so, you have never seen a 3D movie on an Imax screen. Even a average plain boring movie can make for pretty exciting experience when you see it in 3D. I haven't seen Avatar (yet) but from what I hear it is way better than average. I'm sure we all know what industries grow in a...

Education in India, to be precise.

Newspapers and TV news attaract people by running catchy headlines.In mass market economic figure, however horrible, can make just one headline. Even form this thread one can see that most people feel for a cat that got soaked in a flood on the other side of the globe more than for all the...

Even if you haven't made enough money on the colledge degree alone you likely met a few other motivated people who shaped your future goals. People you meat are of vital importance. MBA explains to students what happened to companes that were in very different situations than what MBA graduates...

I understand TOS means ThinkOrSwim. They must offer a decent rate on the positive account balance. It's likely to be better than what any bank offers on 1-year deposits. I'd suggest to stick with the cash rate unless your out-of-market period is years as opposed to months... or you have a...

You can symilarly ask why there are so many people in the business of developing indicators and trading systems for others. Trading your own account is a career choice. If you have enough capital, discipline and creativity to adapt, you may make a good living out of it. Others prefer to rely...

This is a very believable story. The best systems (whatever "best" means to subscribers) always get a subscriber here and there but probabbly the ratio of active subscription to the number of listed systems isn't too favourable. Remember collective2 charges monthly fees to system sellers too.

Maybe he should contact IB sales directly and ask? There are lots of small formal requirements an outsider is likely to miss.

Completely agree here. As long as your trade holding period is hours and not seconds you should be fine. Those of us trading futures may have tougher time if they miss the moment overnight margin kicks in.

Unless you trade ForEx, you can disable "smart routing" by choosing a relevant destination as the single target exchange. This way all orders will be sent directly to the exchange, where they will be treated as fairly as everyone else's. If the fact that orders are sent to the exchange is...

hehe! Beliefe in one's infallibility is not among positive traits for a trader. I do lack confidence, at leats on occasions. This is the way of finding out that "there is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path." This is comforting. Thanks! Feel free to consider a quiation...

This is probably the main reason H1-Bs undermine US job market.... They facilitate a downward preassure on salaries. Before the economic crises the H1-B quota used to be filled before end of spring. So, if the quota isn't fully used up this late in the year, this means there is a serious...

It is also an issue that in order to make money from a trading idea what is important is entry and exit price... and thus timing. Risk management is another consideration. It si quite feasible to think os a service that predicts the price of 70% their stock pick will rise the next day...

I am starting to find that the main drag on my trading performance is overtrading. Quite often I enter a position or close a position for psychological reasons beyond coviction in a trade. I have figured out a few specific reasons: 1) Boredom, I want to have a position on most of teh time...

I think it's you who misses the point! Share price fall even by a factor of 10 is sufficient to devastate shareholders. Executives may loose their performance bonuses. However, drop in share price on its onw cannot drive a revenue-generating company with transparent business model and sound...

1) If you have an HD TV set (it should be marked 1080p and not just HD-Ready), blueray is certainly worth it (as Duffman already pointed out) 2) A basic blueray player just reads digital recording and sends it to the TV. If this is the only thing you want to do, there will be little difference...

Inflation ruines everyones' aspirations to save over time for what they want. So, the only way is to borrow and spend it. That's why so few people buy homes without credit or cars without credit or Congressmen without credit. In early 1990s CPI was amended so that a basket of goods, instead...
