It's not necessarily a job vs. trading. I am heavily involved in sales business for the last year and must say "material" business is simply MUCH less demanding than day trading. In other words, small mistakes don't matter so much and are easily fixed without serious consequences, process itself...

I may be wrong, but it looks to me that lower relative cost of making a trade also makes it easier to find an edge worth trading on the larger time-scale. Also good macro view is clearly an edge if one is able to combine it with decent timing and statistics. After all it's a matter of who sees...

I have yet to find the true cause. At the moment it's hard to clearly say if it was me or the market. Currently I am in the research mode to find the causes of decline in day trading profits and re-group to improve my overall performance in the financial markets (in the form of intermediate-term...

After so many years I found day trading pretty draining. Probably linked to the fact I lost ability to produce profits as I did in past or maybe it's vice versa, I don't know. :) But macro awareness and speculative decisions based on combination of fundamentals and technicals look so much...

Evolve towards swing trading which allows more freedom time-wise, more time to make decisions and is much less commission-intensive. Plus larger moves make more sense to me.

For non-US residents there are some brokers which offer that. For US residents AFAIK there are some prop-shops which make it possible as well.

Those are all just psychological filters of perception of price action. Reverse in this case is no more special than regular or ZLR or whatever indicator pattern.

I rather feel insecurity when VIX is so low. :D

I use combo of Crossland as a broker and CTS as platform. Works perfectly well.

False rumor most likely. What forum was it?

How successful is Kiyosaki himself besides his books on how to become wealthy investor? :D

You are right. I put the question incorrectly. Was more interested in particularly intraday volatility aka "fluid" price action vs. "chop". For example: TF and CL may have similar range in ticks, but TF overall offers much smoother action "inside" the session that CL, which is pretty choppy...

Move to Novosibirsk, why not? It's soo cool here. :D

Novosibirsk... :p

Did you live in Siberia yourself? No? Why? :D

Down or not... still half way to the Moon from Russia and furthermore, China. :D

I admire people who are able to demonstrate consistent performance within 10 day-period. Must be the very best proof of all that great futures day traders exist.

Looks pretty demonstrative and easy to understand in my view. And relates to trading of course as one of occupations, which require one's success potential to be truly maxed out so to say. Enjoy. :)...

I honestly care less who has the real power. All I know is quality of life is much higher in the US, Canada, Australia, Western Europe etc. than it is in Russia. Period. You better believe me it is true. No false concepts like "greatness of the country". I never buy those BS stories by...

True. Once people provide too much power to the government they become an object of activity for govt/elite to achieve their (separate from well-being of the people) goals. Plus there is an extremely destructive psychological aspect of unlimited power. Hence I strongly advocate limited...
