If the bankroll needed to start was my size, and there was no question about eventually coming out ahead, yes i would. Same with baccarat. My research suggests it's possible so i want to find out if it's doable. I'm just focused on roulette because there are busy forums where there's a lot of...

Larry, i want you to feel welcome here at ET so i'm just giving a heads up, fyi, that Joe Doaks is hypostomus and a number of other aliases that we tolerate because he is funny in his articulate sort of way. Sort of a court jester here. He could easily also be... Albert Cibiades Wiles...

Welcome to ET, Larry, this is for you! I can't seem to find Michelle's equity curve in my archives anymore but yes, while not straight up, it was relatively smooth, imo, accelerating as it made more money. A testament to money management. Busy with Dawson's Creek, did she start to rely...

Gotta hand it to Jim Traficant. Went into prison when he was what, 50+? Faced 8.5 years...served 7.5...would not plea bargain out. Maintained innocence the whole time. Recently, i have been denied in court three times on really trivial matters compared to these folks. But i've gotta tell...

Lately, i have made a conscious effort not to use the word "trade" or "trading". It is completely edited out of my blog. Whether profitable or not, i consider it to be an aspect of the "casino economy". Since my interest in is the area of Forex, i especially avoid using the term "trade"...

Wachoo talkin bout Willis?! It was a smooth equity curve from $10K up to $100K. Didn't look like there was as much testosterone involved so i just assumed...

In due time, i plan to always be using three, maybe four brokers, running identical trades through each of them. After X amount of time (a week, a month, a quarter, or every N number of trades) it should be easy to see which broker is allowing your account to make the most money. Every so...

Does anybody remember James Dines editor of the Dines Letter going way back to the late 60's? I was just briefing a book he published in about 1975 and all i can say is he rightly predicted the gold wave that peaked about 1980. While my understanding of this issue could use improvement...

I recently talked with an old ex-floor trader who worked the S&P500 contract back as early as 1981. He used the first IBM PC issued, stock with only 32 KB of memory. He would use it to chart this and that after he had manually entered in data he got from the New York Times or something...

My cannabis friend figured he was from Canada. I figured that anybody trying to understand the world through the lens of a fringe algorithm like Rev. Ted Pike needed psychological help. I would've posted in the psychology department but figured it would just end up here because the name of...

I took a quick look but could not really put it together. Looks like he's got several indicators going. Oh well. Probably isn't anything i haven't already considered, or won't find out with a little more digging.

Are you sure he's not focused on binary options? A win rate of 75% is acceptable if the average payout is 72%. Because the risk/reward ratio is fairly fixed, there's a lot of emphasis on win rate when dealing with binary options. I would like to know if his method would work in that...

RE: The recent flood of (now deleted) posts titled: "YOU SICK EVIL S**TS, you'll get what's coming, the rest of you, escape to Canada". I showed this flood to a friend of mine who advocates cannabis. Right away he said "google 'escape to canada'." So i did: Escape To Canada Meanwhile...

So far so good?

Looks like it's on par with Oanda, according to these past stats: http://forexmagnates.com/?p=4941

No. This is not the case in forex. First of all, the counter-party is either your broker (which doubles as a liquidity provider) or the liquidity provider (which specializes in providing liquidity) to your broker. And these are market-makers. You don't compete with them in the way you are...

i'm thinking about starting another thread just about covered calls, a concept i'm somewhat fond of for it's dividends-on-steroids flavor. The thing about covered calls, for one, is that you need to buy 100 shares of a stock before putting on the deal to perfectly cover a call that is keyed...

Ok thanks very much. I've got a mock portfolio of 21 stocks equally balanced. It's only down -1.23% . The only unusual downer is DANG down 19%...dangit! The dollar value of the stocks at purchase is about $1000 +- for a mock portfolio of about $21,000. I'll check on this from time to...

Had you done that ten years ago, youdv made 500%. Strangely, if youdv bought (to open) the new york open and sold (to close) at the new york close, youd be -70% So, how could you be negative by being bullish during the day (when overall, prices have been rising)? That could happen if the...

OP, about an online "Trading Academy". While i don't know anything about that particular "school", i know something about marketing. Generally speaking, wiith "good" marketing, you are going to pay inflated prices for information, especially ROI (return on investment) information. As a rule...
