If you are interested in a company in Europe, let me know. I can assist you set up a family wealth management company that, as the director, you can run from abroad.

Trading real or sim ? At times it trades differently.

I believe they charge you interest when you are short with overnight positions. Talking of spreads, you never know what they are at time of news release.

It seems to me 2 years was too short a learning period. Even with the best mentor for the method and the money parts, your mind still needs time to get used to the ups and downs of a trading account. Now my own 2 cents: trade sim for a month, then 0.5 % and 1% only when you are back on your...

So, ladies and gents, it took our here resident great pretender a whole week, in an age of google and wikipedia, to figure out that LTCM doesn't stand for Losing Trader Crappy Moron. A pity but I now understand he needs all the math he can find where we all have more than enough with elementary...

Right: if the student is willing and the teacher is capable, they form the dream team.

Bird here means he who knows what he's talking about inside out. If a bird can't teach you to fly, nobody else can. If a fish can't lean you to swim, nothing else will. If a cheetah can't teach you how to catch a lamb in the bush, nothing else can. If a seasoned profitable trader can't teach you...

Any body having finished their primary school have all the math it takes to trade profitably. Like in "if my stop is 20 ticks away and I am trading 2 lots, what do I stand to lose if the market goes against my position, given that a tick=10 ?" Can you do this math? Then you just passed the math...

"effing deadbeat" I am starting to see what it looks like...I bet there is one around right now

This retail crowd moron still doesn't get the point of learning maths and stats, if that is not needed to succeed in trading, as you eventually admit. This is not, and will never be, a 2+2=4 endeavour. I don't know about illiquid stocks, I don't trade even the liquid ones. Maybe it takes a...

Sorry to desagree. What you are saying is that the holy grail is here and it is a computerized math formular. How come they still need people to trade, if math and computer are better fits for the job? Every body knows there can't be such a thing as a true and unique recipe for winning in the...

Sorry I didn't pay attention to the date, but has the issue been resolved ?

We can set up one, in either city. Any taker ?

Why does he ask people to withdraw their comments? He sent me a pm asking for that, but I saw it too late and could not delete my comment, which in my view did not contain any idea unfavorable to him. Maybe that is his way of having but appreciative comments on his thread.

Agree with the impossible automation part. I guess that is why we are here. What did you code that doesn't show on a dom?

When playing large numbers, I have breakouts on mind. They happen at the same zones, obvious supports and resistances. Since I know great majority of them fail, I presume that more often that not the large number will stop the prevailing trend and reverse. The advantage with the dom is that you...
