    Taking 320K to 3.5million by Year End 2009

    He's a member of a number of forums around the place. You will soon learn that his ego is bigger than King Kong and from his perspective everyone is a fool. There is no point trying discussing anything with him because you will always be wrong and inferior to his omnipotence. Good luck to him...

    Time to standardize the CDS market just like options

    Why don't you just call them what they are - insurance - and let them be under the same scrutiny as that for your car of home? Further, there are more $ in CDS than in the associated loans, and that means more than 1 CDS per mortgage. The first one should be recognized and the remainder...

    Australia’s Retail Sales Unexpectedly Increase 0.2%

    That's because in Australia most people are on variable interest rates, so when the central bank cut rates the people actually have more cash in their pockets = economic stimulus. (Aust Reserve Bank interest rate 3.25% = standard mortgage rate 5.25%) I asked this question many months ago...

    Trade for a living: Advice wanted...

    Just don't live on the profits you are making. Put about 60k in a cash account for your expenses over the year and trade the remainder - repeat at the start of the next year. pneuma

    trend following & dealing with retracements

    Vita, I would suggest that if you are using a TF strategy you should calculate your profit from the stop loss value NOT the open equity of the position. The "retracements" therefore don't mean too much because you sell at your stop loss (whatever that may be), and there will always be ups...

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    Of course - custom indicators looking for specific events. No Fibs, Gann, Astro charts, support/resistance lines, patterns, dojis, hammers, Elliott. That's all crap - subjective emotion based interpretation. pneuma
