    Using nature and natural eco and bio systems to style your trading

    Ants communicate through chemical exchange. Trees atop mountains grow most of their foliage on the windless or south side. A river takes the path of least resistance. Small mosquitos specie have a larger prey base than larger specie mosquitos. The list is endless. I want to know how you...

    Can completely discretionary traders every succeed?

    Very good exchange here. It's apparent that this thread will not survive the original question and premise because it is arrogant, ignorant, and is a setup to probe for discovery in order to eliminate targets. Does anyone really benefit from knowing the answer to this inconclusive...

    Can completely discretionary traders every succeed?

    What matters most is the fact that i can turn profit in more then one type of market condition. When i started to make consistent gains it proved that all of the knowledge that i had applied was working to my favor. Survival and trading up my capital is proof that my ways are working well for...

    What would be the sector ordering of a Housing Crash?

    Forget about 1989. Can you tell me the impetus of chained events that have led to our current economic and natural resources condition, as you say the order of ascent? Our government is protecting partner lenders. So, perhaps we need to examine the monetary and resources shift that would...

    It's been 2 years since I turned CNBC on...Cramer was on!

    The guy definitely has A.D.D. It's funny, that, i too haven't watched CNBC since 2003 and wanted to see several months ago what all the hype was with this MAD money show. Well, i tuned in and he was the usual pseudo sympathetically high fein as when he actually managed money, if you can call...

    Where may I read about settlement, clearing etc..

    {The regulatory industry is maturing into active management of public sentiment which the media is bringing to light--that the SEC and regulatory landscape is owned by the richest players--the owners and controllers. Their battles are what we see. If you read between the lines and have...

    Can completely discretionary traders every succeed?

    Right. Nothing has changed only now there are well developed cannibal algorithms eating through anything that moves and is defenseless. Although the penny pitching business will always be around because there are always individuals that will do that type of work other traders have had to...

    Ameritrade Is Accused of Delaying Trades

    Thanks FX ! FYI... they have up to a 5 minute "order review" rule in place for NYSE orders. The implications are huge and i admittedly have been in contact with regulators about their sometimes illegal practices back when they bought Datek and as recent as three months ago. They must...

    Can completely discretionary traders every succeed?

    I do not know what a plan means to you. I just don't call my trading operations a plan. Also, my written material is just that--written material. I do not see my writings as a plan. Perhaps i am too much of an outcast or perhaps i don't allow myself to believe in buzz words or media...

    Trading for a Low-Paying Living

    Yes. This guy needs a better clientele of traders to draw his conclusions and probably is in the process of writing a book i'm sure not to read. Some people will take anyone on as a client and allow them to self-destruct. One thing i will agree with is that this business of trading and...

    Can completely discretionary traders every succeed?

    A concise and accurate post. My question is this; why do so many people want to emulate or find out about successful traders instead of becoming one themselves? You cannot replicate another person or method of trading no matter how hard you may try, it is impossible to do without having...

    PIMCO/Bill Gross being investigated for Gunning shorts on the 10 yr

    He'll just blame it on the Asians as usual. They are the ones dumping liquidity into the market i just follow them. Oh, please pass the noodles and soy sauce. The guy is a class act all the way. He is one of the untouchables however his fame can turn against him very quickly as the public...

    Can completely discretionary traders every succeed?

    I'm wondering why you compare shifting religions to shifting trading operations and plans of extracting profit from markets? It is much easier to change a point of view and direction of a trade then to switch religions. Also, you don't need proof or statements, what you need is a better...

    House Building Margins

    This thread is cool. I would never want to build my own house after remodeling everything possible in the one i currently own. It is time consuming and will strain all but the most devoted relationships. Hire a professional firm to oversee the building process at the least. Usually...
