actually is the opposite. futures are more liquid and less costly to trade. that's what you should be comparing. it appears that you refer to riskiness as being the amount of leverage and that's not risk but rather setting how much leverage is used.

there is no alternative to trading i am afraid. even if you decide to get a (normal) job, you'll find yourself gambling your career, your paycheck and your family security each a every day and most of the time you'll have no control over your future. this is exactly like trading but with a...

huh? why dont you short gbp.jpy in the islamic side and buy the same pair here? wtf are you talking about?

LMAO :D

i guess you dont know soros. he made a couple of bucks in the gbp a while back.

an anti martingale strategy along the lines of what the op describes would yield a profit factor of north 2.0 with a sterling ratio in the range of 3.0 if used during the last decade (which was very tough on always long strategies). the op has hit the nail on the head imo. the essence of...

lol as well. you're not only extremely succesful trader but also a fun and good spirit on ET. thanks and lol.

typical paranoid schizophrenia. should be medicated to prevent 4 or even 5X the daily ATR. it is a serious condition.

as seen by apama.

now i am offended by this. meanwhile i'll book a flight to san juan just to check the facts.

a couple of comments. first your approach has been the correct one imo. specifically the decision of signaling just long entries. most probably, the edge you've locked in is due primarily to the positive drift that stocks and indexes have. i would say that a equivalent system to signal short...

you should try barcelona, spain. taxes are not that good but you'll get the best deal on the rest. by far the most interesting city in europe to hang around and meet incredible women from all over the world.

she doesnt predict that kind of stuff. just forex, index, weather and sun spots. sorry.

finally an interesting, backed by irrefutable evidence, argument posted in ET. :D

LMAO

the point is not how many points per day you can make it but rather how much risk are you taking to obtain such result. a master at trading the es will be able to obtain a net positive result in exchange of a fraction of the risk (i.e. drawdown). in nominal terms, a pro will want to have its...

i do. i trade mostly exotics available in europe. from my point of view they are an interesting vehicle with good liquidity and very inexpensive to trade when doing size. imo the key differentiator of the exotics i trade is their leverage. it is frequent to spot warrants that offer 200X...

i just cant figure out the whole ideia of hijacking an interesting thread about trading and turning it into a pointless discussion about nazis and bigots. but hey that is the beauty of ET. it has the midas touch. :D
