Paul Tudor Jones

Recently, I watched a documentary about the BBB. Lots of business owners came forward and stated how the BBB would black mail them into paying them for high ratings. They stated that the BBB would approach them and threaten to give them a low rating if they didn't pay them a certain amount. They...

Thanks for posting this. Also note that I said that PTJ made HALF of his money using TA, but yet Surf goes on to say that no one is successful trading PURE T/A. I never said PTJ made his money trading pure T/A.

Agreed. The legend himself, Paul Tudor Jones, even says that TA made him half his fortune.

From my research thus far, CFD's seem to require less margin and the ability to trade in smaller lots if one wants to trade commodities. I was talking to a friend who lives overseas. He trades the spot oil and gold markets through CFDs and pays much smaller margin. He was shocked when I told him...

Thanks for the tip. If only I could read the language on the Swiss site. LOL

Is there a work around for a U.S. citizen who wants to trade CFDs in place of Futures?

Personally, I like smoking fine cigars in between trades for the same purpose.

UPDATE: I ordered two of the adapters recommended earlier in the thread, received them today and they do in fact work as was stated. Thanks again.

Thanks a lot.

I'd like to know where people obtain fundamental data for cocoa and sugar as well. I trade those two markets heavily and I usually rely on price action. It's worked for me, but I'd like to make more fundamental trades in these two. I know that cocoa's trade is dominated by the Ivory Coast in...

I think I've figured out my issue. I had to actually sit back and analyze the entire situation, which I should have done before creating this thread. Here's the deal: I'm getting the results I want, so far. I'm profitable and I have a system that is working for me. My thought process at the...

To me? It would mean that you're so confident in a thing that you can see the conclusion before it actually happens.

As we all know, trading is hard work and usually requires years of pragmatic experience to do well...and even then, success still isn't guaranteed. With that being said, here's my story: Currently, I'm a swing trader. I hold futures contracts for a couple days to a week during any given trade...
