    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    :) The commonality I see is the risk I take. It is the only thing I have control over.

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    No Sir I’m afraid I didn’t. I had no idea where the stock would go on Monday. My thinking was that if it got to my entry it would continue to advance. My entry was not hit so I have no position. I am not losing money only opportunity to make money. This is hard to answer as I’m not...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    How much to bet when you have an edge

    I can say with some certainty that the market will go up or down more that 60% of the time. Closer to 99.9% of the time. The other option I beleive is to trade sideways all day, I predict will happen 0.1% of the time. You can copy this sytem by flipping a coin.

    I'm Looking for Traders to Invest With

    I guess I'd want to know how you determine whether my trading style and risk profile fit your overall plan. Do you want to see my trading plan or are you more concerned with my year over year performance? How do you determine a risk profile?

    I trade the e-minis. rarely hold overnight. Overnight isn't that much of a problem as stops will be triggered. It scares me to hold stocks overnight cause you never know when they might gap against you.

    free mentoring towards a trading position

    Or it could be that opportunity of a lifetime that we are letting pass by. An opportunity presents itself and we run from it because we don’t believe anyone would do this. In both his books Mark Douglas gives the example of a guy standing on the street offering free money. Nobody...

    free mentoring towards a trading position

    Sounds like the Madoff hook. Here is a wonderful opportunity but you’re going to have to wait. Why just one? It’s just as easy to train a bunch as just one. If the one you pick turns out to be a dud you have to start all over again. Training several would be a better use if your time...

    Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Why would you have to stay in a stock overnight? With my trading program a simple click gets me out of a stock.

    DAT For Canadians - Is there such a things as A good Firm In Canada

    Can you be more specific. What exactly do you want the front end to do. I've tried TF QT and a couple of the Banks and IB is by far the best. The only drawback is no Registered accounts. IBs Canadian customer service seems to be way better than the US counterpart. I've rarely had to...
