    Monitors....what do you Really Need?

    I guess that was a long winded way of saying most businesses fail due to overhead, including trading businesses. :)

    Monitors....what do you Really Need?

    Your trading account doesn't know the difference between a $4000 setup and a $4000 losing trade, buy the cheapest solution to the problem and pretend the money you saved was a winning trade. I run 4 27" monintors. However, most people would be better off with just two monitors on their fastest...

    Interesting Strategy, Do Moon Cycles affect the markets?

    Most people don't have your courage to think for themselves and go their own way, so they comfort themselves by clinging to other, similar minds, and complaining about how the markets are unfair. I have to read the article more closely, it's been a very busy week. Thanks, Brian

    Interesting Strategy, Do Moon Cycles affect the markets?

    I definitely don't know it all, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the markets are a make believe world, something that doesn't have to respond to reality, it's just a reflection of our delusional selves. Millions of people have broken like waves against the unreality of markets. Moon...

    failure to disclose ashley madison

    No, my apologies, thankfully I don't know anything about the company. I was just stunned by those numbers.

    Are Trading Books Useless ?

    I have to agree with Troy, you can only get something out of these books if you put effort into them. This isn't an occupation you get better by doing, you get better by thinking about what you do when you trade. Repetition is a lousy teacher when it comes to trading, so why should trading...

    failure to disclose ashley madison

    Irrelevant. It doesn't matter where the company is, 2/3 of their customers were Americans, unless their client base has changed, these numbers seem inflated.

    Interesting Strategy, Do Moon Cycles affect the markets?

    Moon Maidens and Vampire Space Bats: ESP, Astrology, Space Nazi batshit crazy systems DO "work" but not like most people believe. Most traders are obsessed with guessing which side will be the winner, so much so that they enter at the same places as everyone else. This gets them shaken out...

    failure to disclose ashley madison

    These numbers don't add up. When Ashley Madison boasted 6 million subscribers, approximately 2/3 were from the USA. Using that same ratio for today's claim of 37 million subscribers, we get 25 million subscribers from the US today. That's 6.8% of the entire US population. Don't forget, many...

    Are Trading Books Useless ?

    "I have found all the psycho books to be useless for me, in order for anything to help, you have to believe and I simple don't or won't believe in some concepts." - Handle 123 Agreed. Snake oil salesmen love to talk endlessly about psychology. I kinda have to believe that if you size your...

    35 year horizon - what would you hold?

    Bah! I'm buying a 30 gallon cauldron from Bayou Classic and I'm moving to Detroit. If I've got to be a cannibal, I'll be king of the cannibals. An elite trader doesn't just prepare, he ADAPTS. Who needs lights? The Cannibal King laughs at your silly solar panels! After dark, my concubines...

    35 year horizon - what would you hold?

    Frankly, if things keep changing in the next 35 years as much as they have since 1981, you might want to start your own company grinding spear heads from old car parts pulled from the rubble of civilization. (my bear side is showing again)

    35 year horizon - what would you hold?

    Timing is a real problem with that question. I agree with the previous person who posted that there's no such thing as a passive investment. There are times when the money comes easy, and times when full-time fund managers with lots of experience get creamed. You need a plan, and you need...

    Are Trading Books Useless ?

    The problem today is too much information, not too little. Your goal is to glean through all of this material, irrelevant facts, and downright cancerous baloney, and: 1) Get the data you need (easy), and 2) Get your head straight (almost impossible when surrounded with a million screaming...

    Are Trading Books Useless ?

    Jason Alan Jankovsky is a very good trading mentor. I've read all his books. JAJ lays it all out there for the average delusional trader. Your TA isn't going to get the job done, both sides of the trade have a chart, they THINK they have high probability, and only one side can win when order...

    Looking for some traders to chat with

    1. For a year or two you will lose money, so size down and don't trade a lot. 2. Once you develop some proficiency and experience, you will join the 90% of traders who break even. It's not that they don't lose money, they do because of mistakes, frustration, revenge trading, you name it. 3...

    US Debt by President - meaningless unless understand where money went

    "meaningless unless understand where money went" Oh that's easy, they flushed it down the toilet so their vermin friends could feast upon it.
