Are there any people here who are very quantitative/mathematical who can tell me what they think of 3.3% losses per trade? I'd like to know if anyone thinks this is reasonable.

So, they want to encourage the markets to go sky-high like in the Internet days and then watch them blow up? Yeah, I have a good idea. Let's tilt the whole supply/demand balance so that it's skewed and will create more problems down the road for us again. How about tackling real problems...

LOL, I've neve seen one of those. Looks very useful. :)

Well, if someone is going to talk about something, maybe they should at least say what it is. That's a little crude and insulting as a reply.

I know one of the main questions you could ask yourself is whether you want to choose a contrarian strategy or a trend-following strategy. But, as far as time frames are concerned, some for the stock market are almost un-usable because of the trading gaps. Forex is 24 hours a day so you have...

Doesn't your broker provide that? I think either Questrade or thinkorswim.ca would be better than a Level 1 broker.

I did not read the entire thread but I just HAVE to mention that even though it might be a good idea to test ideas in a demo account before going live, that I think it's essential that someone practices with at least a small amount of money. You cannot POSSIBLY gain real experience with demo...

Good grief, someone asked a question. Why are there 8 pages of crap here? Please go here: http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/econodayframe.asp?page=http://anasdaq.econoday.com/byweek.asp?cust=nasdaq and here...

I'm kind of cringing right now because I'm not sure I should give away some of my ideas simply because when people start to jump on the same idea, then the whole supply/demand balance might shift. But, in any case, when I spent hundreds of hours looking at hundreds of charts, I noticed...

Oliver Velez said that if you teach someone, it will teach you as well. I mean some traders will better understand their method when they find ways to explain it to someone else. That being said, I think you'd almost have to walk in their shoes for a while as the old Inuit saying goes to...

LOL, it's very rare that I fall ill but anyway. I had diarrhea for 3 days and I mean, I woke up to look at Forex charts only to see the charts frozen. I was wondering what was wrong until I noticed it was Saturday. HAHAHA!! Well, I must admit, the world seems boring without price...

TraderZones, do you follow contests? Now that I have more active trading experience, I'd like to follow contests to see what happens. If anyone knows of more contests, please post the names/websites here. I agree with you that the sort of parameters that some traders might use to win a...

I thought this kind of criticism would only come out of a non-trader. I can tell you after 18 months of work, I don't believe my results happened randomly. Actually, if I had enough money to be comfortable right now, I'd LOVE to talk about my ideas. The reason is, not only does David Nassar...

Actually, I think I heard in one of Oliver Velez' videos that the first 85% quit in the first six months then half of the rest quit in the following 6 months. So, I'm thinking that might be 7 and a half percent? Thank you for congratulating me, my favorite book among the 37 books I read on...

http://www.fxclub.com/contest-list/?page=0 LOL, there's something about that that makes me laugh. Do you think it's because most contest participants were putting too much at risk on every trade to win? I'm inclined to think the first 50 contestants maybe used short time frames and small...

Yeah, say that to people who use moving averages. Trading gaps in the stock market skews your moving averages. So, you can't work with them for various time frames. Every demo trading platform I've tried shows you the profits and losses in real time. The only people who would ignore that...

I don't really understand all your answers. If any of you believe that 100:1 or 50:1 leverage will cause blowouts then can you say how large your stops are and what the number of consecutive losses you expect? Because the size of the profits/losses per lot doesn't change regardless of the...

I just opened an account with them not long ago after GFT Forex decided they didn't want clients from Canada anymore (at least, that's what they told me). Anyway, I wanted a Forex broker that had both types of accounts: market maker and ECN. That way I can always transfer my money to their ECN...

So do you think reading a book on the Series 7 would help you do that type of job?
