Just a thought. Suppose you were elected president tomorrow. Who would you staff with, complete strangers or those who you know and trust?

True friends are friends no matter what your profession is, trader or not. If someone chooses friends solely on their job or station in life then they lead a truly shallow existence.

If the enemy is going to take cover and fire on US troops from Mosques and hospitals then what choice is there? I have not seen or heard of US toops using Mosques or hosptals for cover. Maybe all of the world human and civil rights organizations should investigate the Iraqi insurgents for...

Does anyone here honestly beleive that American soldiers would intentionally target non combatants? I truly hope not. I have known too many American soldiers to believe that they would target civillians. Now on the other hand from the way that the Arabs (not the general public so much as...

Regarding % returns, how do you account for the addition of funds to an account as well as withdrawls when calculating % return for a given period. For example I track % return on a weekly and monthly basis for plotting my equitly curve. How would I account for me adding funds to the account...

I have been using a XP based Toshiba with a 17" monitor and built in wireless. I have not had any problems and frequently go a week or more without having to reboot. As for service a friend of mine had a problem that was solved extremely quick compared to other computer manufactures I have had...

It is interesting that you got that much slippage. I entered at 8:33 EST with a market order and got zero slippage.

A little different take on "knowing when" you are ready to trade for aliving or most anything else. I recently had a test in a management class that asked us to give an explanation of the "know why" factor in 25 words or less. I didn't understand the importance of my answer until a few weeks...

This is from Yahoo and is about Hamas: "Hamas leaders said that while the killing of Yassin was a blow to morale, it would not hamper the group's operations, including its ability to carry out attacks. Hamas is pledged to Israel's destruction." From that point of view, Israel has only one...

I didn't mean to incite a pissing contest. Some folks around here need to chill and realize that this and any other board is primarily someones opinion and how they do things. Every person and situation is different so they all have different needs when looking for a broker or market to trade...

I fully intend on trading more than just one instrument once I accumulate suffecient capital. Ultimately if I stay with currencies I would like to trade on the interbank with an actual bank. But that takes capital to trade in 1 mill lots or larger at the minimum. I realize that the quotes...

I only play the EURUSD right now and get a 2 pip spread. As far as slippage, the most I have ever gotten even on an extremely wild move (a hundred pip spike in a few seconds on an employment figure a few weeks ago) is 2 pips. I almost always get zero slippage adn have even had a pip go in my...

$1,000 is not very much adn will not go to far in the stock world or even the futures world because of the $ per point vaule would blow you out fast. I starte in a similar situation not to long ago but was only familiar with currencies when I began. Just my two cents, take them however you...

I recently bought a 19" Sceptre LCD from Newegg for $500 and it was well worth it. I was using a 17" NEC CRT that was about 10 years old before that. I realize what it is like to be in college and thus the need for CRTs but I would consider the pros and cons. 19" LCD gives the viewing...

I would have to second what Wallace and Steve are saying. I have noticed a significant increase in my performance afer moving to longer time frames as suggested by Wallece. I am notwhere I want to be just yet, I sometime exit too early but am not afraid to re-enter if price continues. As far...

I second what progers82 said. I have been married for 1.5 years and my wife gets really annoyed at me for spending my afternoons and nights trading. She lets me do it but it frustrates her that I spend so much time trading. Granted I am not a fund manager, I am a beginner that still has...

Despite my argumnets from above I agree that in many cases outsourcing is not as effecient and does not save costs. For example. My dad used to work for a manufacturing company as a controller. The compnay is global and has manufactuing operations around the globe. The majority of the stuff...

You are still missing the point. By refusing to educate ourselves and work with the same effort, determination, and enthousiasm of some of the foreigners who come to the US because it is the land of opportunity we have placed ourselves at a competitive disadvantage. I do not feel sorry for...

If greater talent exists elsewhere then why not use it or if equal talent but at lower cost exists elsewhere then why not use it? I agree that we are in quite a pickle in the US. I myself have been there, that is why I chose to go back to school for an advanced degree. The problem is...
