because that rate of return is severely parabolic and we all know what happens next.....CRASH and burn....if you give us all some part of your fortune a few of us may be able to contribute a couple dollars back so you can start your empire all over again

i agree with you, it takes a hell of alot more than psychological composure to be a succesfull trader. it doesn't matter if the plan comes before self control or vice-versa. you will eventually be forced to hone both before success will be realized long term. composure isn't a byproduct of...

i havn't read every reply, if it hasn't already been said, it will also depend to some degree, possibly a large degree on your trading style, how you approach trading and how you define your trading strategy. a well understood aproach to trading with a highly defined set of rules to enter...

lol....had to crack up reading this...no shit.

i agree. there are professional gamblers that define an edge/strategy as we do in trading and exploit it, knowing its a % game and do well...then there are gamblers that dont have a clue and define gambing as luck/chance. in the end they always end up loosing.

i think it works just great. i admit i'm not a scalper though and have more time to enter and exit trades, but its really easy to use. just click on bid or ask and your order is ready to go. you can set defaults for orders in the api settings that make it even easier. there is also an option to...

bullshit! its gambing if you dont know what your doing and approach it from the wrong perspective, which alot of people probably do, but with a little thinking and experience it turns out that its really a % numbers game. the point is to find an edge/advantage through whatever means that allows...

because they are hypocritical, selfish, ignorant, irrational fucking assholes.

if your willing to wait a few years and come back with more money...and its not a burden on you to wait....then obviously you will have better chance to succeed then. you are correct that with small amount of starting capital the risks are greater that a simple bad luck streak could take enough...

yes i would go long oil. lots of tempting stock as well though. hard call atm. both markets look equally good to me right now. less taxes i guess for futures gain might be deciding factor? depending who your broker is though...5k might not get you much buying power in futures...

the womans lib movement was actually engineered by sigmund freuds nephew Edward Bernays. you should research it...it will blow your mind just how much our lives have been engineered and guided by the powerfull elite. i dont know it was specifically the rockerfellers behind it though...

havn't read the article yet but heard of this before...supposedly its associated with being exposed to increased testosterone levels while in the womb if i remember correctly. there was also evidence that those with longer ring finger were better/more capable athletes competatively and were more...

your enthusiasm is awesome but be careful, irrational thinking can kill you. trying to go long only in this market might be a constant grind against the trend. not saying it cant be done in spurts or that the markets might find an unexpected bottom sometime soon, but it doesn't seem rational at...

much thanks rcj. i hadn't found that yet. looks like exactly what i was looking for.

i was just reading wikipedia for the DJIA. in the article it says quoted: "On the days when not all the components open at the start, the posted opening price of the Dow is determined by the price of those few components that open first and the previous day's closing price of the remaining...

or which stocks carry a heavier weight and exactly what % the top weighted stocks actually carry? also when/how often are these companies reviewed and changed?

are you trading this system live/manualy or is it automated? i cant imagine you sit and trade for 14 hours a day as suggested by your charts...or do you just mark them with all potential trades to make a point?

i agree...especially when you add in the ever so slightest amount of discretion. i think it becomes near impossible. if i owned a broker i would not even bother trying to figure it out. i would just take the same trades....but then again if i was making dumptruck loads of cash just charging...

Thank You Barron. as you can see it is very much appreciated by many of us and i'm sure countless others in the future.
