    Before you spend $1 on a system read this.

    Great Post! Well my wasted money so far on software/systems about $5000. The time spent trying to master them - hundreds of hours. The money lost using them - maybe $10,000. I feel I got off very light. Samson, it is amazing you have been able to turn all this around and now become...

    Anybody familiar with "The Way To Trade"?

    Yeah it was good on psychology. I thought it was most suited to a beginner and swing trader (I am intraday)so I asked for and got my refund no problem. Anyway the writer is a genuine trader who is making money - and that is the most important thing to look for in a book.

    I've been feeling a touch guilty about smirking over Steves gaff. So in his defense I think we should note he only charges $9.99 for his e-book. Some start at $999 . Check out the recent classifieds http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=26494 one trader is trying to get...

    Elementary Daytrading

    I think someone should consider the problems new shills have and start a thread to give advice. For example: 1. when promoting your idea make sure you don't use your real name. 2. If you are going to be in the business longterm then work at it. Don't just submit your site after making 1 or...

    Cutting through the hype

    I appreciate you telling us this. It gives me confidence when I hear of winning traders. Could you be more specific. I have 2 accounts and my smallest is way up but my largest is down 50% - the one that counts. Is MB your only trading account, how many trades did you make in the year( roughly...

    CME vs Forex

    Thanks for the info. The brokers have obviously improved a lot since I was trading forex regularly. AS I said I still keep an account with Commerce bank and they give a guaranteed no slippage 3 pip spread - but that one pip still kills the deal as against futures. I had an account with FXCM and...

    The Ultimate DAX Scalping Discussion Thread!

    This is the hardest thing in trading the dax. It has happened to me too many times that I carefully and slowly build up a nice positive balance and then get suddenly wiped or negative by a surge.

    CME vs Forex

    Any of the brokers who are offering even 3 pip spreads (except for the one I mentioned Commerce) are still out to make sure they get their cut. You will often find you buy or sell is not accepted and you get a message asking if you want to accept the new price (unless it moved against you since...
