    This week should be interesting. After a close below some significant support EURUSD is lying on another support region currently. However, what will move the market will be the Fed rates announcement. Its not a surprise that Greenspan will increase rates but what will be interesting is the...

    Strategy Trading, Probabilities & Blackjack/Poker

    Actually random entries will not have a 50/50 probability. During a sustained trend the probability is skewed towards the direction of the trend. That 50/50 rule is believed by efficient market theorists who believe an uptick on the previous bar tells us nothing about the next bar so the odds is...

    Trade your way through College- NOT

    It is possible to trade and manage school as well. I am doing it now. Hard but doable. However, it will be the same as always-95% will fail.

    Can someone help me with some quotes?

    I suggest that you go to www.interbankfx.com and get their demo. Their platform is very nice and the spreads are cool. I like CMC's platform also but not as much as metatrader.

    Update for the Week Nice way to end the week although it was more due to luck than anything. The BIDU short had its stop taken out which I placed at 85.8 got filled at 85.88, a very nice fill considering the incredible upward momentum it had. God bless scottrade! As for the rest of the picks...

    Option replication and exotics journal

    Thanks. Gonna look into it. Pretty expensive for an options beginner like me (550) and especially one as cheap as I am (I think I have yet to spend a dime on specialized software, platforms and charts :D). BTW great trading.

    Forex Taking A Wait And See Approach

    Buffett has been short dollar since EURUSD has been in the 1.00-1.12s. So he isnt down but actually up. However in the beginning of the year as they use unrealized profits it was a loss as dollar went from 1.3600 to 1.20s.

    Yet another ill performing day for me in the equities department as well. My short on GOOG hit its stop at 290.00 for only a small gain which actually resulted in a net loss due to commissions. I am still holding onto the BIDU short which jumped quite a bit today due to short covering rumors...

    A very nasty day in the currency department. No clear direction on any pairs really. A USDCHF short was triggered but it happened to be on the very low of the day and then it whipped back to its stop. Otherwise no other positions open although still positioned with orders in to take advantage of...

    Equities A good one way street for the indices today. However, a few of my positions got their stops hit which I am not very happy about. TKO had its first pull back after an almost straight up 28% move. Out at 4.35 for a 24.64% profit. I will look to enter it again soon. WFSI got hit by its...

    John Henry--The Next Blow Up ??

    I do not think the system as it is presented word for word will provide incredible results (+20% etc). There probably has to be some development that has occured. The basis of the system still holds true however details need to be added for the current market. However, take a look at the results...

    John Henry--The Next Blow Up ??

    Austin>Sorry to say but you are highly mistaken. Dont base your understanding on turtletrader.com. Michael Corvel isnt a trader and spends almost all his time bashing every other method of trading out of existence. John Henry is a trend trader. The turtle traders are a group of traders...

    John Henry--The Next Blow Up ??

    First of all austin you need to get your facts right. John Henry is not a turtle. The turtles are the group of student Rich Dennis trained in the 80s. You can classify all of them as trend traders. Are you telling me all trend traders are net losers? That has to be one of the most ignorant...
