well look, im not gonna pay wider spreads based on your needs. again, based upon your arguement, a $10 spread would be better than a penny spread, right. so everyone should pay a wider spread based upon estrader's personal requirements? one issue is the spread. a second issue is the...

so by your way of thinking, a $10 spread would increase liquidity?

yes, considering that he just blew-up $2,000,000, a $5,000 wad ought to be sufficient to to trade his way back, even allowing for the slippage. huh? good luck to you both. :)

dude, you forgot the part where illegal aliens pay "in state" fees at state colleges/universities. its been estimated at $11,000 a head per year in subsidies for foreigners, while a student from arizona has to pay non-resident fees. or consider the poor kid from Watts who works his ass off and...

plus, they are big savers. i went to university there in my senior year - although that was 20+ years ago.

the japanese should figure out a way to slide those 4 islands over next to mexico. by your way of thinking, that would solve all of their problems? :p

i am unaware of a construction boom, although the current vacancy rates across the nation for office space is scary! i believe you underestimate the impact of booking bad U.S. loans in japan to avoid U.S. regulators and just plain hiding non-performing assets. on paper they looked great and...

oops

maybe you should honor yourself enough to pay the money back to the person you "stole" (deceive is such a polite word) it from first? or at least get on a payment plan. i'd imagine it is going to be very hard to go forward dragging all that self-loathing with you.

seems people with better self esteem have greater ability to admit they are wrong. low self esteem tends to generate rigidity as a byproduct of fear. one is a plus for trading, the other almost assures a blowup. it seems to me that looking to the market as the source/basis of self esteem...

farley should have had someone write the book for him. he knows the subject matter, but the writing does not do the material justice. i have yet to finish the book. its hard to stay focused on something that is sooooo poorly written.

i plan to relocate to reno-tahoe area, but it will be on nevada side. we spend 2-4 weeks skiing every year and sometimes get a second trip in. im not sure i want to live near the lake, im edgy about living in the snow. ive had it with california taxes, immigration and welfare system...

bolt, you're in and out on the winners. is the same true for the losers with no stop loss or drawdown limit? holding a loser w/o a stop loss, nominal loss limit, etc., is not hedging - and the risk is not necessarily in check as you ride the rollercoaster of the loser! if one views risk in...

dave, 1. right settings = optimalization via filters/indicators? well, with that caveat i guess anything is possible. why not put the time into a more efficient system with less risk of major drawdown. quick scalps only on rangebound/oscillating day - during certain periods or after...

i wonder how well that works over a long term? you're saying that the market may wiggle down some, but it probably will squirm back up for 1.5 pts. i wonder how that worked in spring 2002? man, the day it doesnt scratch back up is the day the trader is squirmimg. no thank you. i dont want...

not looking for an argument here, but axeman isn't the one who needs to read the rules- and reading everything there is wont change what happens, particularly on low volume days/periods. who is gonna stop them? is the SEC gonna run down and get axeman's dime back? that's why they get away with...

777, for someone who mistook his own piss for apple juice, you are extremely "cutting." :D i researched vending machines (candy) and kiddy rides years ago and almost bought 1/2 a business. when you think about businesses, think about barriers to entry; then think what a sure-thing selling...
