Well, although millennials are to blame for some things, I would say not all. They are after all the product of corporate America and have been dumbed down by failed elders. You can blame facebook all you want for fake news, but why on earth are they getting news from facebook to being with...

Yes, but as I say above, this will do nothing for jobs or most people. We are comparing to the 50s and 60s where everything was made in the US, and factory workers got paid well, and they could go out and buy houses and cars, etc. Now, even if you make this stuff here, the money still doesn't...

Totally agree with you there. I even remember an article about iPhones saying yes, Apple could build it in the US, but it wouldn't bring jobs because most of the production line would be automated. So in this case, perhaps you keep more money in the US, but will the general population see it...

I feel like the ship has sailed and its too late. US economy is all about consumption. Everyone needs lots of cheap shit that is replaced the next day. All this cheap crap could never be made in the US because then it of course wouldn't be cheap. The way out of these messes is always slow...

I feel like this is a small number for a futures trader. In fact, % return for a futures trader has never meant sense to me. Assume a 100k account, and what you're doing is trading 5 contracts. (hence, 20k margin per contract, more than adequate). If your ROI is 75% (rounding up from 66% for...

For all the replies that blame the broker, I think this is highly misguided. I understand the issues when dealing with a business that matches the orders internally, and the fragmented nature of forex trading makes this all possible, but I am certain that if these same traders who are losing...

Thanks for the excellent reply and throwing some numbers out as well.

Fair enough, but let me ask you this. Clearly someone investing tens of millions of dollars cannot be expected to have the same return as a day trader. (ie. You don't see hedge funds with 200% returns). So many funds operate within the 10-20% range, which is excellent. So many funds also...

I find these discussions about what method works or which is better to be quite interesting. Every time this comes up, the most critical part of the argument, ie. the results, is left out. I mean imagine drug companies all trying to push their own medication as the best, without actually...

I would tend to argue against this. I watch the DOM, and my platform shows me a running total of the 10 Bid and Ask levels. I think the algos and HFT firms very nicely fill in any imbalance. If they create an imbalance, it is usually very far away from the inside bid and ask, and it is also...

Oppps... when I posted my reply to you volpri I didn't even see all the additional material in this thread and all the charts. So perhaps my reply is useless.. will have to catch up with this thread now.

Thanks for the analysis volpri. I wanted to wait to reply until I could reply properly. Excellent observation here. I would say though that at one point, you do have to start wondering why the bottom isn't breaking if it keeps getting pushed down. Yes it broke, but my first instinct isn't to...

It makes me quite angry that while Trump and all the useless politicians that appear to care about you and me argue about how to trick the public into thinking their policies are good for us, the fact remains that for such a rich country, access to free healtcare isn't within reach. I wish...

As I read this thread, it completely humbles me. No matter what issues are on my mind with regards to trading, no matter what bitch argument I get into on here, you guys sharing your stories, experiences and suggestions leaves me speechless. I have the utmost respect for you for being such...

What do they mean by "fake trades to boost volume"? If they mean spoofing, then this doesn't result in a trade. If they mean to buy and sell, simply for the purpose of creating volume, then how is this illegal? All the HTF firms buy and sell to make a penny already. Were these guys buying...

Even then, what does an ETF do if one day, half of all bitcoins are stolen? If you own the ETF and they have half the amount of assets one morning, who pays? I guess this is why there are no ETFs approved on this, and with futures, you're not actually dealing with the underlying asset at all...

I die a little bit each time I see the opposite. In order for BTC to go well, everything has to go right. There can be no hacks, there can be no power outages. There can be no internet outages. There must be a steady supply of miners willing to approve transactions at all times (except what...

I do agree that the day before the weekend isn't the best way to illustrate something, but I fail to see what you are trying to show. (not too surprising because to be honest, I find it hard to understand what you say sometimes given the way you write) But what stands out for me is that you...

Does he ever get around to talking about taking actual trades? From what I remember here at ET, he was very good at telling you where you could have, or should have entered, after the fact.

I would hope you post your findings on here, while of course trying to protect the identity of any any members since it will be through PM. The reason I say this is because on several occasions, I have attempted to ask the member, @Sprout to show stats of his very careful analysis, and he never...
