the only great use for hydroponics is growing tamatos and WEED :D:D:D:D:D

more than that. I would say minimum 200% returns P.A on starting capital of 20k up to 300k. Otherwise its not worth the risk of trading. after that you can tune down the risk meter to about 30% p.a

not a bad idea. unless you find a few high NW guys or an IB/mutual/fund of fund you invest in a CTA to begin with your unlikely to attract large amounts of money. A few of my friends in the buiz took about 2-3yrs to attract any sizable decent funding. so having a side buiz with CTA isnt a bad...

interesting note: Phil Ivey (158,203.00) 25 sessions. Ouch. i would say hes the Short Sell version of phil ivey. Lets call him Ivey Phil.

lol yeah it has made me a little more arrogant to greedy ass bastards who just do stuff for money. However i do find myself emphasising more and more with ppl who give up a good life in order to pursue what they love. Medicines sans frontiers, lovely orgainzation.

ever since i became a profitable trader i have basically never ever thought about money. if you think great traders trade for the money ur dead wrong. If you take some time and talk to succesful traders ull learn one thing: none of us do it for the money, we do it cause we love it and cant...

Alot has depended on luck. Many of the traders who started 5-10 years back would have run smack into a huge IT bull. Doesnt take alot of brains to make money during a big boom and a good proportion of trend following strategies would have made craploads on the nasdaq during that period. buy and...

Id like to know whether after learning how to trade its made you more politically right wing or more politically left wing I think trading's made me mroe right wing especially against whiners and grumblers. however i think it makes you more generous towards those that never started off with...

lol but then remember your nick leeson. You have a fetish for losing money :P and big chunks of it. Well ill add a little discretionary element to it: if it looks liek its going up you may buy, if it looks a little down then you may sell. :D

This is a system me and a bunch of other traders made based on a long discussion of barings bank and in particular nick leeson's trading system and the problems which led to baring's collapse. We all concluded that given proper management and a set of assumptions the method of trading which was...

proposing to trade at teh beginner stage with your entire capital on 4:1 leverage to start off with is gambling. You've barely any idea on how your psychologically going to take losses. Are you going to cut your trading size? or are you going to use mroe money to try and make back your losses...

ok remember how u began to ride a bicycle? at first ur emotions were in the way, u were scared to pedal, to go forward. THen you let your logic take hold and you commanded every muscle to move as it should, but doing that u where wobbly and fell over alot. Finally it became subconscious, u jsut...

oh god where do i start? okay lets start with your goals: assuming u have 50,000 in your trading account now. You want to turn that into 200,000 by the 2008. okayyyyy By my calculations thats: FV = PV(1+r)^n Assuming n=2 so well give you a full 2 years to make it. 200,000 =...
