    What Works in Trading & Why: Part 2

    NT a question for you..... Say someone takes the TD course, will I learn everything you are trading off of or do you use some proprietary things that aren't covered in the TD course. If this isn't the appropriate place to ask this question let me know. Dan

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    Well said skunk. When I hear all of BS about it's a new world, a new economy, and globalization, you have to look at this and that before just considering trade and budget deficits I grab for my boots because it is getting thick. It's simple economics, are you spending more than you bring in...

    What Works in Trading & Why: Part 2

    NT, When you reference Steidlmayer's methods, are you referring to market profile? I thought I read on the TD course website that there is no use of market profile. Just trying to clear up some confusion. Thank you.

    What Works in Trading & Why: Part 2

    Thank Noise Trader, interesting lessson. I have to imagine that your pink and yellow dots on the line mean something. Could you elaborate if they aren't "proprietary"? I am guessing the open and closes on bar charts? I don't have much experience with bar charts.

    What Works in Trading & Why: Part I

    Noise Trader, Thanks for sharing your ideas. If I could give you a constructive criticism it would be that the stye of writing you use on the Manifesto and excerpts from the TD course is sometimes abstract. I hope I am communicating my point correctly. This isn't intended to be a slam by any...

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    Hey Spike, if you don't mind, where in Europe do you live? I ask because I have friends in Germany and family in the Czech Republic. I am considering moving to Europe, Canada, or maybe even Panama or somewhere in the carribean. Honestly it would be hard to leave the land where I grew up and...

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    Thanks, just read that post, good advice. I have heard from sources that a number of Canadians, like Americans, have offshore IBC's setup to minimize taxes. It doesn't appear hard to set up just difficult to repatriate the money into your home country without getting nailed by your local tax...

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    My mentor and friend is Canadian. He says the due to legal loop holes, electronic trading is not taxed until you repatriate the money into Canada, he uses a US broker. Sounds good to me. Hell you Canadians don't even get taxed on gambling profits. What am I still doing here. Seriously though, if...

    Trading in the Zone

    Trading should be boring, if you want excitement go to Vegas, where you have pretty girls and free drinks. When my trading is exciting then the warning bell goes off in my head, I am spiraling down hill to a day off losses due to gambling. The days I make money, I follow my written plan and...

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    Damn! Your busting my dream! I was seriously considering applying for Canadian Citizenship and then renouncing my US Citizenship and living part time somewhere outside of Canada. My Dad is Canadian so I think I stand a decent chance of getting approved. I still may as politically I think the US...

    Recommend a Trading chair

    Has anyone tried that ergonomic stool-type thing? I think the design is Scandanavian. Your knees rest on pad and your butt sits so that you are automatically straight, correct posture it seems, but their is no back support, as the stool/chair posture puts you in a postition so that you don't...

    Strange question for traders at home

    I wear my warm up pants/shorts and a T shirt. I take my showers in the afternoon, but wash my face with cold water just to make sure I am awake before I trade. Sometimes if I really need to I drink some green tea. I get up now an hour before NY exchanges open. I am considering buying my own...
