According to Bloomberg, Greece said tomorrow will be CRUCIAL to what happens in their debt situation. I developed a method which allows you to participate in a change in direction. Right now, we'd need another positive day in the EUR/JPY to confirm a change in direction and two positive days...

I think there's like a billion questions you could ask yourself in trading like: Should I follow a trend-following strategy, or contrarian, should I do directional trading or options combinations, or systems trading or discretionary trading? I've read several books on interviews with traders...

You should read my post here about "cheap trading". http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=190029 In any case, if you wanted to do a straddle on a stock option, right now wouldn't be an ideal time because there was a large movement in the markets yesterday which means the...

OK, now they finally included the $20 bonus from the trading contest. Phew, that took a while because at one point, they had sent me another email stating I had to provide another document to validate my account. When I complained, they called me to clarify that my account was open. Then I...

Well, the EUR/JPY has gone down lower and the stock market had a flatish day yesterday. So, the chances of a turnaround in the stock market is less likely now. So, more downside likely to come (in the stock market or trading range as the most optimistic situation for now).

The cheapest Forex brokers I found up to now are FX Open and FX Club. FX Open has Metatrader4 trading platform and slightly better spreads. Although it's a little more difficult to fund the account (need to do bank wire). FX Club has an "OK" (ClassicFX trading platform) and an "Alice in...

I developed my own method (which is not proven yet) to participate in a change in direction. Since the stock market has gone up a couple of days, I'm inclined to think if it goes up for maybe another day and a half, it may resume its uptrend. (I developed my method for the EUR/JPY so I'm not...

OK, FXClub has finally activated my account. But the process was kind of weird. I had uploaded one file on their website and sent it also by email to make sure there wouldn't be a problem. Sure enough, I got one email saying I still needed to provide a document then another a short while...

Do you find trading gaps are a problem? Would you consider Forex which is open 24 hours a day instead to counter that problem?

FXClub. I participated in their trading contest and since they have a $10 minimum and qualified for a $20 bonus because I was profitable during the contest, I figured I would go ahead and just open a secondary account I could later use as a higher risk account. If it blows out, it wouldn't be...

There is a certain amount of insanity in that article that I'm not able to comprehend. :eek:

The fact that it's 1800 pages sounds bogus to me. I spent 18 months developing a method which I suspect may work. But, there is an elegance in the simplicity of my method. Even Jack Schwager said in his book: "Getting Started in Technical Analysis" that he had looked at systems trading for...

If you wanted to go long only, which options would you buy QQQQ or SPY options? And why in the world are there two options listed for every strike price on yahoo finance for march 10 options?

WiseGuy, what is this, a mafia ganster on a message board wanting to launder money? Ripley, you did not elaborate how you'd break up the $10 Billion to trade it.

Yes, I bet you'd LOVE to hear how lately with amazing grace and agility, I was able to fantastically MAKE MONEY in demo account (OK, not real money, virtual money lol) while having not only several consecutive losses in a row in a real account, but actually missing several consecutive profits...

You could participate in Million Dollar Challenge at CNBC (when it's on) or Robbins World Cup Trading Championships. I figure that would get exposure. Funny thing is, I was tried thinking of various ways to win a trading contest and I find there are some ideas that are inconsistent with...

Believe you me, if I was financially independant right now and it was because of trading success, I'd be teaching my method on this very site. It may take another 3 months to determine the validity of the method I just developed because I made two changes in the last two weeks. In any...

OK, I'm not a fundamentalist but I watched some Frontline documenataries on PBS and it looks to me like there was a REAL crisis of confidence during the market meltdown. Ah well.

Well, thanks for providing links. I know I'm going to look clueless by asking this but I don't have the habit of watching futures. I noticed the other day when I compared the SSO (exchange traded fund based on the Standard & Poors 500) to the mini S&P futures, there was a real divergence...

Do you think that is a legitimate request because you're in a certain country?
