    How orders are routed

    Actually I used to consider the full moon in my trading, which is similar. It seemed to coincide with panic or euphoria. But I'd never talk about it in public.

    In your opinion/experience, what are the most succesful trading styles/methods etc.

    I don't think it's that important about time frame. It's more important in the beginning to find a pattern that repeats in the market. If you say I'm only going to do three trades a day then that pattern has to be trade able in one market three times a day. Very rare. You can trade multiple...

    In your opinion/experience, what are the most succesful trading styles/methods etc.

    The most successful trading method is the one where you have a probability of profit, and that you are psychologically able to trade. The biggest problem with daytraders is they tend to overtrade--jump on trades with no reason. It's also difficult to recover mentally from the intensity of a...

    How Common Are Really Large Successful Traders

    Thank you. I've dug myself a nice hole due to perfectionism. You know when the neighbor is yelling at you and telling you to get it on the road that you've probably gone too far. My attention span is about 3_hours. Good for daytrading but bad for vintage trucks.

    How Common Are Really Large Successful Traders

    Time frame is just one aspect of a trade. There's entry, exit, stop, and how much to bet on a particular setup. Sometimes I'm in a daytrade but I see that there's more to be had down the road. But usually I just get out and watch. In the currencies the game keeps going anyway, so if I miss a...

    Hotspot for RV? Also how much data will streaming quotes eat?

    Market data doesn't use that much, um, data. Have you tried T-Mobile? They have unlimited data for 30_bucks. Haven't tried it but want to. I use Verizon on a smart phone and haven't used that much for forex. If you simplify your screen-what,you are watching-that saves data.

    Are there any publicly traded bankruptcy lawyers? I wonder if Ritchie Brothers' business goes up entering a recession--overall. Wonder if it's better or worse in Texas right now. After all, they get paid to clean up the mess

    Oil Rig Count and Predicting a Rebound

    I'm thinking the overall reason for the decline is the economy sucks worse than is apparent. So you have demand destruction weighed against lower costs. If true, I would expect lack of demand to be a stronger factor as far as earnings and the markets. So I see it as more of a short play

    Great topic. I read a piece about a " reformed" conman. Basically he got caught and decided to,work with the authorities. He said when you go to a mall and fill out a card to win the sports car, those mailing lists are highly prized. The type of person who believes he's gonna get something for...

    Tulip Mania in 3 minutes

    The mania went on for years and years. Decades according to the article. So there had to be an acceptance of value at higher levels. In other words people forgot after a time that they were just flower bulbs. Much like Treasury's are just pieces of paper.
