    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    Yes, as a matter of fact I have 2 questions: 1. When will YOU either trade against the Prof or submit audited trading records of your own? Since his claims are so obviously outrageous, it should be a cakewalk for you to prove that you can do better! What could possibly be easier than...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    How is this contest not fair? If they both trade intraday, why not? I don't know too much about how Marketsurfer trades (perhaps he doesn't trade intraday, then you would be right I guess), but one thing is for sure: if someone claims that you do not have a valid methodology, what better...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    Surf, like I said, you seem to be a nice guy and we have chatted over the years...so I don't like to do this but...it just calls for it. If you are willing to back up what you say, just trade against the Prof. The setup seems like a fair challenge to me, there is nothing "inane" about it...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    Yes please please please do it! I have followed surf from his time at cleartrader (or whatever ithis site was called when he was trading options)... he seems like a nice guy, but I never took the trouble to verify if his posted picks made money or not... I do say however that I saw the...

    Andy's Spread Trading Journal

    Hi Andy, I learned spreads from JR, visited him in Texas, met Markus as well. I have a question re your Risk/ Reward: You risk 8% per trade. That is quite high in general. It seems that you manage to make about 15-20% per month, taken the short sample run you have here. That would equal...

    The Carter 5 Min Pivot Entry Strategy

    Niha and others: thank you for your comments and questions. First, I did not want to go into this whole thing. I just saw somebody offering the course, I had met the trader (" ") in question before and thought that the experience I had might prove beneficial to other people's wallets. This is...

    I have a loss of 1.400% by

    of what? Of the original risk you took in the trade? How much is that? If your account is $100,000.00 and you risk .5% of that, or $500, you just lost 14 times that, or $7,000, or 7%. Quite a lot on one trade, but survivable I guess. But if you have a $20,000 account, you lost 30% of that...

    NYC Traders Expo coming soon!

    Your partner? My condolences...I posted this somewhere else as well. Two years ago I had John Carter trade my account (I had no time to trade myself, and from his "record" it seemed feasible). I gave strict instructions as to what percentage of capital to risk (at the beginning 2%, then...

    The Carter 5 Min Pivot Entry Strategy

    Two years ago I had this guy trade my account (I had no time to trade myself, and from his "record" it seemed feasible). I gave strict instructions as to what percentage of capital to risk (at the beginning 2%, then I reduced it to 1 and then to .75%. I knew about money management but that...

    Wireless Broadband

    Whoa! Do you know pf that guy that owns the motel that surfers like in Amagansett? He used to fish for stripers sitting in an inner tube a couple of years back, he could get out much farther than the waders could. He stopped when a huge triangular fin cruised by just in front of him...

    Wireless Broadband

    Still not completely clear: First, Verizon says on the website they still use CDMA. Second, the old speed (a year ago) claimed to be 140 kbps, but was more like 40. Now they say 3-500 kbps. Do you think this is accurate for download? What modem card do you recommend? Thanks, Vienna

    Wireless Broadband

    Hehe I like fishing for striped bass of Montauk... Good. Will get it. New york is strange in coverage: My cell phone does not work in certain areas of midtown Manhattan, but then it works in the middle of nowhere in Utah...

    Electric Shaver

    Ok, why not. Some milkbeard wannabe trader needs manly advice. Nothing wrong with that. In order of quality 1. Getting a shave in a first-rate, old fashioned barber shop 2. A straight razor with a leather strap, if you know how to use it. Otherwise, you will decapitate yourself. Practice...
