cause he's a loser [at the options game]

Options are for smart gamblers and hedgers. Once in a while you'll have the big blowup cause the guy was over confident and over leveraged. He'll bring down the house with him and hurt the image of derivatives. It's happened before, it'll happen again. 300% trading derivatives is not hard...

qdz2, I would say it's a nono. NO NO NO NO. You can quote this if you want.

nan nan, a moins que tu veuilles me preter le harry trader language dictionary. Les liens que tu donnes sont trés intéréssants, l'explication, elle, est trés obscure. Je ne suis pas le seul à pas te comprendre.

he meant haphazard ;) or odds. I can speak French fluently and still can't understand much of what he says. Might as well post in French.

I wouldn't say it's easy. It takes a lot of mental conditioning to accept the market as it is, simple or not simple. It's true that most books i've read on advanced trading rules and money management have a way of presenting data and equation in a completely abstract matter. While I agree...

Yeah I think you are reading too much into your abilities and you are trying too hard to come up with a plan that seems complex enough to suit you for trading. Actually, keep it simple [stupid]. Stops can play both ways but without a plan in which you believe in (that is why I think you are...

I don't think it's a matter of legality but more a matter of stupidity. If you wanna buy your own stock, I don't think you need a broker. if you are thinking about tricking the market, it probably won't work.

EW is garbage. It's another of those mind games. Completely left to interpretation. I read his book and sincerely, it makes no sense. It's like saying: the markets go up and down in steps but the way you count the steps is left to interpretation. In effect, you have a 50% chance of being right...

those are fun games ;) a little too ez to my taste. Crank up the level!

avoid trading with your 401k money. especially if you're a new fishy in the pond. Cause whales and sharks are here to eat you.

Links, what in your 12 years of trading where you doing wrong? I wanna say money management but hell 12 years to figure it out is a long time! You must have learned a lot.

Maybe an intermediate bottom (since it was a double bottom, it was a 50% chance of success) but it sure isn't the start of a bull market. Come on. the guy got lucky, no biggy.

Agreed. WL is great.

Corso...of course it's possible, they're not aiming for the big win, they're trying to be conservative and consistent. With this strategy, don't expect high gains but volatility is usually low. Everything is possible, you just have to aim for what is statistically more likely.

huh, never knew that, I guess i like the transmit button ;)

nope gotta transmit, safety issue.

you're not only gonna lose your position, you're gonna lose your shirt. Don't do it. It's not a long term investment vehicle. It's made for trading.

Altruistic reasons... or non altruistic reasons, who cares? The fact and the matter is three heavy weights of the diplomatic international community are against bombing Iraq. WHY? Because 9/11 will come back even worst and in other countries besides the USA. The USA is going to mess up an...

http://www.idleworm.com/nws/2002/11/iraq2.shtml Here maybe a game can explain the situation for you. Friedman has written a good book "The Lexus and the Olive Tree" but he is one of the most liberal people I know and his ideas are sometimes completely ridiculous and unrealistic. In the...
