    How often do you take a draw?

    I have a weekly goal and if I hit it I take out about 50 to 100% of it. There is really no methodological approach for me, but I'd say it's close to bringing my account back down to X if anything.

    You are more likely to become a top Hollywood actor or popstar than profitable trader

    What do you consider to be short-term? Because by my definition, I know quite a few people that fall into that category and are consistently profitable.

    That spread means 2 pips. 1 pip =10.00 USD. I'd recommend finding a broker other than FXCM.

    Balancing It All

    It's great that you are sure what you want to do. I suppose I went through a similar situation. Here is what I would do in your shoes (or if I could redo it for myself): 1.) Just nail it in school. Get good grades in all classes even if you aren't all that interested. The last thing you...

    Who Trades These Markets?

    Maybe it "wad" but I was interested in seeing what people here had to say, that's all. I know, or know of, a few fairly large individuals who operate in these markets. A little extra knowledge never hurt anyone, at least not me.

    Who Trades These Markets?

    The Dow and S&P futures mainly. What big individuals? What firms? What type of systems operate here? Would love to here any input people have about the players in index futures. This is a broad question so I half expect broad answers.

    Stop giving money to Haiti!

    Holy shit? They actually did that? WHO GIVES A FUCK? As much as you ignorant, blind, delusional Christians annoy me, I'd help a brotha out if he was in need. But I guess if you're so pathetic that your religous beliefs shape who you are, it's a different story.

    chicago burbs

    One is on the south side, one on the west side. They could both qualify for being the worst neighborhoods in the country. Anyway, I am in Glencoe. Sorry for joking around, didn't mean to be misleading.
