"Shoot dying quails." - Marty Schwartz

Stocks are not the same as commodities. Every oil contract has two parties, a buyer and a seller. At expiration the buyer must either sell or take delivery. A speculator might sell, and then buy the next expiration, but the person who ultimately owns the earlier contract at expiration must...

Many are offering the OP advice, but I don't see how they could without knowing his situation. To the OP: How old are you? What is your education? What were you trading? What is your trading capital? Do you have savings? Debt? Do you have non-trading income? What are...

My personal situation dictates that I strike while the iron is hot. I am not the OP, he may have a different situation. My early attempts at trading, from 1999-2002 were not successful. I had no idea what I was doing. But I've been learning as much I could without having real money on the...

Seems simple enough, now all anyone has to do is "get" 50K or preferably 100K. :confused: I am about to trade with a borrowed stake. I used a low interest credit card advance, which is good for the life of the balance. As part of my plan though, I have set myself up with several part time...

I'm about a month away from having played 1,000,000 hands of online poker. I've got about 975,000 now. (That's the beat)

One simple way to perpetrate this kind of scam: Use boron to make it appear that the water is being electrolysed with less energy cost than normal. The car is not running on water, it's running on boron, but it would be fairly easy to hide this. There have been legitimate attempts to make...

You can speed up the electrolysis very easily, all you have to do is speed up the energy consumption. There is no other way. Again, all you have to do is let me or any competent impartial scientist examine the car to be convinced there is no hidden energy storage on board. Then all the...

I have a theory called conservation of energy that has been confirmed by over 160 years of scientific experimentation and has never been violated. Every example of it's violation has been shown to be a mistake or a fraud. Except for those who don't allow their devices to be examined. I...

Cold fusion had a way better chance of working, since it doesn't violate conservation of energy.

Very simple, but it won't work. It's a scam. Look at it as an equation: 2(H2O) + energy --> 2(H2) + O2 --> 2(H2O) + energy The first reaction is the electrolysis, the second is the burning. The only way the energy on the left will equal the energy on the right is if both reactions...

Trading is fun because it is gambling. As someone who played online poker professionally for two years, I am not trying to cast trading in a negative light with that statement. I'm just trying to make you aware of what you are getting in to. If you want to invest, that is fine. Learn all...

Don't get too hung up on the candlesticks, they are not the holy grail of trading (nor is anything else). Go ahead and learn about them if you like but don't assume they would have been the magic bullet that would have saved you 20K. Patterns always look obvious in hindsight. The original...

You should probably start your own thread, but... this post raises more questions than answers: Why are you trading a 95K account as a beginner? Do you have your living expenses taken care of? How long were you paper trading? Did you trade a different style using real money? What...

I'm sure this is all somehow very relevant to intraday futures trading? :confused:

Hey you just gave me a great idea! We should all vote for Osama. That will get him out of hiding!

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=83772&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 You had a million dollars and now it's down to $75K? I don't even know what to say to that. It's too late now anyway. You need to find some way to cover your living expenses other than from trading...

Is it your strategy that is the problem, or is it your execution of that strategy? Don't confuse the two. There is a saying in Bowling: "Don't adjust off a bad shot". That means when you have a strike line that has been working, and then you throw a bad shot, missing your target on the...
