You are a thinking man BB.

The wonderful thing about forums is that everyone is entitled to their turn and their say. Well Saxon22, your turn has come. Please enlighten us with your worthy contribution.

You have nailed it BB.

1 ... OP`s are very selfish and seem to think that they deserve some sort of a return. So why would you want to share. 2 ... the base capital that you commit to intra trading is minor and can be recovered quickly, assuming that you are a Trader and not just a Talker.

Let us say that the local man is represented by a 3rd party who cuts a very poor deal with a business person in return for an illegal kick back of which the local man has no knowledge. The business man and the representive are both equally guilty of transgressing the law, not to mention...

AHhhhh a thinking man is talking. Sadly though the principle drivers behind mankind are fear and greed (inseparable) and it does not matter how much a person has, in most cases it is never enough.

In short I think that it goes like this. When a Trader begins to trade, and before he/she fully appreciates the mechanics of the market and therefore has only a slender grip on the odds, then he/she is winning and losing. As knowledge improves, the winning will improve but never the less...

Then you must stay with your thoughts about Larry and convert them into profits. That will be your comparative advantage.

BG You bear out the very point that I am trying to make.... namely do not go down the competitive / comparative track. If your sole aim is to be consistently profitable and you cannot imagine how to do this by being in the market the entire time, then do not compromise your plan or yourself...

Not true Bernoulli. The words comparative and competitive apply where two or more parties can be measured in terms of performance. If you continue to cling to this point of view that trading is some form of gladiatorial contest, you will remain forever trapped within the confines of your...

You live in country A as a resident. Your passport and citizenship is country B. You trade through a company owned by a foundation in country C by means of a general POA. You qualify to remove your tax liability from country B ( difficult, but by no means impossible) AND muy importante. You...

Much like the US revolution lead by Señor G Washington. George figured, why send the tax money to London when it can remain within the country. Is not this the rational behind Castro's original thinking.

When you are consistently profitable and ready to move, send me a PM

Hi BH, Interesting ..... I read JH's post carefully (with focus) and derived a totally different opinion than you. Correct me if I am wrong Jack, but I gather you are comparing the typical antagonistic approach to the softly softly thinking focused approach. Why try to defeat the markets...

Well put DC. Since the markets are chaotic in nature (not random) for reasons I have already explained, other traders are mostly irrelevant and indeed harmful to your trading. ET is a case in point where the vast majority of posts are irrelevant to you, but very occasionally you come across...

By "mining" I mean that I dig points out of the coalface of the ES morning session. Each trade could be one point or 10+ per lot. 10+ would be rare. All I need to do is reach my daily quota per lot ... nothing more, nothing less. Traders who are far more clever than me will tell you that...

ME, I dont need to know anything about comparative advantages, mine or anyone else's because they have no place in my trading world. I am not interested in whether other people make or lose money, I am only interested in what I see on my screen. The fact that my screen shows the collective...

Absolute rubbish! The market is made up of rational and irrational Traders each with a plan. They trad for different reasons using different time frames reasoning and data. Some are intraday and some are position. Some trade to take profits and delivery and some to hedge. In short the...

Best advice I have read in years. Get your win/loss over 80% and your vol will grow. Then put the screws on your Broker for better pricing and lower margins to keep your account size low relative to your daily profits. Dont leave a dime more in your account than is required as somehow you...

I imagine that the overextended owners will need to be washed out of the market before anything much can happen. This is a complicated issue because it brings into play the dollar, the bond holders ( china , japan etc) and therefore interest rates since they are about the only tool remaining...
