    Do full-time forex traders exist or is it just make believe?

    WTF? this is just too good LOL First, we have a newb trader who is on track to take a 10k account to 1 million in a year-- via daytrading forex. next we have a guy who had a small account 6 years ago and now is trading for a living from home, sometimes taking his position size up to 20,000...

    Do full-time forex traders exist or is it just make believe?

    Well, it's not that out of the ordinary.... Woody gets 32 ticks a day, Nodoji around 40, Hershey is upwards of 100, etc Imagine what that comes out to if you trade 20,000 contracts at a time. :D

    Do full-time forex traders exist or is it just make believe?

    http://www.myfxbook.com/faq Hopefully this Brazil guys results pass the test. It would be cool if someone was really making great returns in a bucket shop. (without having the plug pulled on him-- because we know these shops DO NOT want to see their customers be profitable!) Look at...

    Do full-time forex traders exist or is it just make believe?

    Congrats on your results brazi I dont think you can fake fxbook results so I have to say I am impressed That result is even better than what was posted last year by the 'siberian crow'-- who until now I thought was the only profitable bucket shop daytrader on earth. Now I know there are...

    What happens if the underlying of a 3x ETF drops more than 33% in a day?

    The only thing I can think of is an emergency reverse split if something like that happened. If the crash happened too fast for a reverse split to be done-- it would probably go to zero or 1 cent and then be split the next day. I dont think it could go less than zero. An ETF cant have a...

    Do full-time forex traders exist or is it just make believe?

    Exactly. its nothing personal. But there have been many on ET caught lying in the past-- as a result some of us have become wary of random internet claims of greatness. I could claim I made 10 handles scalping ES this morning... but I'd be lying. :D Pics or it didnt happen!

    RM's occasional market calls...

    the way that trade played out has to make it the most amazing market call I have ever seen. that was the stuff of trader fantasies...for the market to collapse in a bloodbath right after you get short. good stuff.

    Guy Spent $11,000 On A Coding 'Bootcamp' And Doubled His Salary

    sounds like a brilliant idea pay 10-15k and get a practical education in the real world skills that employers want, taught by people who are actually doing it for a living, and in a short period of time a lot better than spending years and paying many times that amount for a university...

    Where does one work after trading?

    obviously i am not surf.... tho i do agree with him about self delusion and mythology running rampant on internet forums and chats... instead of calling him out, why not call out the "helpers" you have had over the years? how many of them have shown you any proof of their trading prowess...

    Where does one work after trading?

    what kind of trading do they do? scalping/rebate type stuff? just wondering, what happened that they were able to make a living in the past and now cannot. it seems any kind of very short term trading is going the way of the dinosaur with HFT and algo influence... anyone doing it should...

    EliteTrader VS Trade2win

    isnt that the site that forces you to register an account in order to view after a few pages it blocks you. I didnt want to bother setting up an acct, so stopped going there. so I have no opinion on t2w. we have had BMT vs ET, and T2W vs ET, what else is there? Forex factory perhaps...

    realistic expections for returns per year through options

    He said a week or so ago that he was still paper trading options. So RT trades probably arent going to be of interest to anyone. I get where you guys are coming from though. There have been so many fakers exposed in the past that everyone is a skeptic and anyone making bold claims of big...

    Market charlatans

    I saw in the thread that the guy defending him was busted for logging in from the same computer. LOL That's the icing on the cake right there. I tell you-- you cant trust any of these big talkers on the internet. 80% winning trades and a PF of 7, and instead of putting up the actual proof...

    Can you design a horribly losing system?

    Interesting idea but doubt its possible. IMO the traders who consistently lose dont have a system or method or if they do it is very loosely constructed, and they dont always follow it they dont lose because they are following the rules of a losing system they lose because they make...
