The Federal government builds ZERO schools so i'm not entirely sure what you're talking about. And the only roads that they have ever built and inter-state highways. So both of your examples are weak, and it is a rather high price to pay in the trillions for a few interstate highways. No...

How about you start...i don't know...EVERYWHERE?!?! Why not cut a mandatory 15% from EVERY budget, regardless. Secondly, get rid of these beauracracies like the dept of education, energy, home land security, etc. Education has always been handled by state and local governments, why are the...

They are bitching because Maria screwed them? I know she's a tad bit older now, but that would still be a point of applause for me...not bitching that's for sure.

I can tell you don't make much money trading. I'm not a trend trader myself, i actually pick bottoms and tops, whether short term inside a longer term trend, or downright BOTTOMS and TOPS. The point is, that a winning trader would know one reality in trading: you can make money with ANY...

I wonder if this actually works. Can you get people to trust you with money by posting a journal here? I don't actually know, that's why i'm asking. I've made great returns for many years, but only trade/invest a few family/friend accounts. I am interested in if this works or not, because...

Yeah, that's a tough break. Just out of curiosity, why did you move the stop to .83 instead of your sell point of .87? I usually don't put in a stop at all when i enter a position because of the possibility of it running up/down to clip my stop before moving in the preferred direction. I have...

For those who think that there is some sort of conspiracy in the markets and you only get the bad luck breaks, check out how lucky i got this morning: blue dash = buy at 94.82 at exactly 9:45 red dash = sell at 95.89 at 9:55 Clipped my sell order before collapsing all the way back...

Is there any news out? It's jumping around right now.

This guy is a loony toon, simple as that. I don't think he understands the most basic fundamentals of economics, or if he does, he doesn't really care. I'm not a republican, like this guy is a democrat, so i don't have a dog in this partisan fight. They seem very similar to me, regardless of...

I personally don't use actual stops, but do have mental stops. I would never average down, that's very simple. Regarding your overall post, any post like yours is written by an amatuer. Only a losing beginner can believe that there is any certainty in the market or that there is only 1 way...

lol...i think that's quite enough of you guys attempting to give me the same advice. Concentrate on your own trading, i'm sure everyone can improve somehow.

The difference with me is that my stops are not decided by a price. If I purchase at 93.82, i can't say that if it falls below 93.70, i must sell. It's about how it looks on the chart when the time comes. Sometimes, even if it is still above my buy point, but enough time has passed and it...

That's that, got out at 93.66...my methodology really told me to bring my stop back up to 93.82 once it went a bit higher, but i like to give my trades a bit of room to breath. Since my stops are so small, it usually takes a good 4-5 losses before one of my trades turns into victory. I'm...

I'm trading the aug contract. When i say mental stop, i'm sitting in front of a chart the entire time so there is no issue. When i say 93.70 is my mental stop, i don't put it there because it's not really the number 93.70 but rather the area that it has to break. Sometimes it can go to 93.68...

long at 93.82, it shouldn't break 93.70 or so...mental stop

There seems to be 2 different questions throughout the thread: 1) How do you identify an edge (how do you create an edge for yourself to trade with) 2) How do you know you have an edge? The first one, only time, experience and hard work will give you. The 2nd is rather easy. You...

You are quite uneducated on these topics. It seems that your views are mere regurgitations of other people instead of your own. If i were you, i would actually read up on the subject and learn a little more before spouting on. For instance, the glaring mistake in your ideas here in this post...

This is the middle clip of a 3 part interview, just search youtube if you want to see the other 2. I must mention that she looked so crazy in that video, her eyes darting from left to right, the crazy look, etc. That said, she has a great mixture of understanding and the abiliity to debate...

You're not looking at this like an experienced trader would. 1) This is not a mathemaical forumula, things do not replicate exactly, like history, it's not the same verse but it rhymes. I doubt you will ever have exact same formations, there will be things which are different. 2) Things...

I'm not sure if this would work for you, but i typically "add to your winners" by using the profits i've already made as a sort of buffer. Let me explain, assume that my setup comes at gold $1310 and I purchase at that level. I'm a swing trader by the way, holding positions for hopefully a...
