    San Venanzo? I would prefer Perugia. Or maybe Citta' di Castello. You never know, maybe you can meet someone like her :)

    Any trader From Italy?

    I would just leave out the boring ones :) My preference still goes to Bologna, or in the region (Parma, Ferrara, etc.)

    So you want to be a Stock Trader?

    Concerning high probability trades and passing. Why do you pass? Do you have a better trade? Or you just prefer to leave the money in the account and not risk it? Wouldn't it be better to just risk a small amount, maybe using tighter stops or taking a smaller win?

    I see it's about emini. I'm more focused on stocks, but I'll look at it. Thanks

    How to react to changing markets?

    I think that when people start to win and make money they are very confident that things work that way. I can imagine that seeing all the things that you were giving for granted starting to fade must be a bit shocking. I guess that's where the selection comes in: some people are not able find...

    Any trader From Italy?

    I wouldn't go to Florence, but neither to a small town. I'd probably take a city like Siena or Livorno.

    How to react to changing markets?

    You guys talk like it's very easy. Does anybody directly or indirectly have the experience Steenberger is talking about, successful traders that fail after the markets change? He's saying that a lot of people are not able to use different strategies in different markets. Actually, many people...

    So you want to be a Stock Trader?

    Ah, it did sound a bit strange. I was completely misunderstanding. Next time I'll read the book before asking. Thank you At the moment I'm papertrading. I'm trying to understand how all the things we talk about work. After that, because of money and time constraints, I will swing trade...

    How to react to changing markets?

    This is exactly what I’ve found happens to intuitive, discretionary traders when the market cycles change. They do not change. They become frustrated, and they lose money. Indeed, they generally lose so much money (perhaps out of their frustration), that they are unable to stay in the game...

    So you want to be a Stock Trader?

    Well, talking about risk management, how about the % you put in each trade? I know many people say you should put a low amount, like 2%. Now, I haven't read van Tharp's bible yet (I ordered it, together with other books), but it seems a bit crazy to me. Hell, 2% means that I'm busy with 50...

    Any trader From Italy?

    I would say Emilia, the region of Bologna. I like Bologna. Umbria is also cool, and some places in Toscana.

    Any trader From Italy?

    law is not exactly my strong point, but I would tend to disagree, at least as far as this law is concerned. I have actually often been wondering what the usefulness of this law is if no one cares about it. You see people saluting every day, including Di Canio, but nothing happens. Loads of...

    how not to look at trading screens

    going a bit off topic here, but I'm very curious about your style. Are you a daytrader? Do you just check 3 times a day? How often do you check and how often do you actively trade? Thanks

    So you want to be a Stock Trader?

    If newbies are invited I'll be happy to give my contribute :) You seem to pay a lot of attention to the global direction of the market. I'm still wondering to what extent this has influence on a stock; depends on the stock, I guess. Anyway, what I noticed is that you didn't mention indicators...

    Any trader From Italy?

    Yes, there is, but 50 years ago, when the law was made, there wasn't. Right after the war people were more looking at the fascist party. Maybe the law should have been removed? I don't know, but that law is anyway applied with a lot of flexibility. This is a very famous case...

    Any trader From Italy?

    There is a difference between fascism in general and the fascist party, basically what Mussolini founded. Because of the past history you can't praise Mussolini or things like that. In Germany they do the same, and even stricter. But you can go around saying that you hate immigrants, gays...

    Any trader From Italy?

    that's correct. According to the law you can't support the old fascist party. "Apologia of fascism" is a good translation of what the felony is called, I guess. This, on the other side, is much worse http://www.hightimes.com/ht/news/content.php?bid=1042&aid=24

    I'm not sure it's the case to go into this discussion for the third time, but I would assume that in a newbie area some more experienced people might be willing to help. Understandably not everyone is willing to answer simple questions. Besides, it's possible that a newbie is capable of...
