here is the good advice:
-There is no magic training class. There is nothing wrong with training, but it is no substitute for experience and self paced learning. People who pay thousands of dollars for a 3 day class are looking for a shortcut to success that doesn't exist. A 3 year salaried...
all you need to do is take a Tony Robbins course, think positive and you will become a brilliant trader. If you fail as a trader it is because you are stupid or a negative thinker. :)
If you only have $20,000 and minimum margin is $2000 and you are trading 10 contracts then you are betting it all every time. You will either be wiped out or extremely lucky. You could lose your entire stake in 10 minutes.
Saying that manipulation doesn't last is of course true, but it doesn't matter. Triple Witching is a perfect example, a manipulator only needs to control the price for one day and millions can be made. If they make 2 million on the options and lose 1 million on the stock, that is a great deal.
Keep talking TraderFut, your true colors are showing. The more you talk, the more the truth comes out, but it isn't the truth that you think it is. Intelligent people can read between the lines of your insults and see your insecurity.
I define manipulation as buying or selling on a large scale with the intent of CAUSING or PREVENTING price moves. Reasons include derivatives positions, investment banking relationships, helping large clients get in or out at a good price, etc. In the case of a triple witch day, it is about...
"Manipulation? You guys are waaaay paranoid. Next you'll be claiming that the UN is anti-american, that the Democrats want a lousy economy and the major media is biased. C'mon."
he he, good one AAA.
if you are a newbie trader, put up as little as possible, preferably nothing. Don't listen to all the hype about training, there is no magic training course. Also, if there is training you will wind up paying for it one way or another, it isn't free.
just to get back to the subject, here are the choices available:
1. No attack, leave U.N. sanctions in place.
This has been going on for 11 years, and hasn't accomplished very much except to maintain the status quo. The Iraqi civilians suffer with no real results.
2. No attack, and...
traderfut, you post the same crap over and over again, as if we didn't read it the first time. You are the one responsible for the repetition. You don't have an argument.
You are an arab, and you are against the attack of any arab country, even if they have an insane dictator. You need to...
keep it up traderfut, you are gaining converts to the side of reason and logic. Too bad for you that isn't your side. By the way, keep up calling your oponents blind, stupid, naive, racist, etc. it really helps your argument....LOL
A monkey can sit at a keyboard and churn and have a lot of small winning trades. There are perhaps some lucky monkeys out there, but they are just the survivors left out of a pool of thousands. Put 1,000 complete newbies in a daytrading room and tell them that scalping is the way to success...
I think if you have an active securities license and you are employed by an investment related firm you are a pro. The prop firm people are sort of a gray area, since in some ways they are pros and in some ways they are just trading for themselves.
Regime change in Iraq is in the best interests of the U.S. and Israel, it is plain as the nose on your face. The fact of the matter is that some people are just taking a tougher stance than others, and some people have more emotional conflicts than others. Apparently RS7 was a vietnam war...
