Do you understand that bailout specifically permits the buying of bad debt from any bank anywhere on the globe as at the discretion of the the treasury? Are you aware that the bailout specifies that no court will be allowed to examine the appropriation of the 700 billion? I would say 2...

Dad?

Always be open to new relationships, get intimate with multiple interests at the same time and always be quick to drop any that no longer service your needs for something more attractive.

Yes it's all in the hands (hidden hands actually) of a small group of the elite. It's not possible to follow the money all the way, as it's unlikely that it stops at the coorporations.

If you are struggling to come to terms emotionally with a trading loss, then you are trading way too big. Reduce your position size to the point where you are not at all fazed by a loss. For me this is 1% to 2% of my account.

Nice thread! Keep it up.

Coorporate lobbying is all about influencing new laws that when passed allow them to capitalise in some way from the poplulation. The solution I feel is to move towards small government, with very limited power to create laws.

A voting system is as honest as the person who wrote it, maintains it, administers it etc. Btw, the no commercial media sources feel strongly that electronic voting has been used and will be used to rig results: http://www.naturalnews.com/electronic_voting.html

Ask yourself what got us here. Money and power will always corrupt. It will find always find a way. I doubt I am on the only one here that believes that electronic voting makes is easier to fix a vote than ever. How easy to install a patch (this can be done by stealth) and you have yourself...

Are we not still faced with the same problem? Whoever owns and controls (secretly or otherwise) the technology can influence what people believe to be public opinion. I think the solution lies elsewhere. What is needed is a paradigm shift in the poplulation's view of the media. There needs to...

I'm not disagreeing with you on that. People don't like to get off their ass and do something unless the other option is more painful.

Oh I don't know; if pushed enough; people have their breaking points. If the revolution happens it probably won't be televised anyway.

It's amazing how conditioned people are to the steady stream of propaganda coming out of all the major news channels Let's be honest, the same 'hidden hand' owns the lot. If people knew the reality of the situation there would be a revolution before the morning.

On my best looking setups I risk 3%, on a lower timeframe than my preferred 1 or 4 hour charts, (say 15minute) I will risk 0.5% to 1%. Is this what you mean?

The problem with scaling in is that when the price moves strongly with little or no retrace then your size is at it smallest, and vice versa, when price goes in the opposite direction taking out all your stops you will have your maximum size on the line. I have been adding my full size at...

That's a great attitude. Imagine an ET where traders help each other to be better traders :) I think a short is perfectly reasonable. Now where I would differ is where to put my stop so that it is reasonably protected by a good area of resistance. 1.4980 looks ok, 1.5020 looks even better...

Don't take this the wrong way, but I can't for the life of me see why you would place your stop at 1.4885? It's a sitting duck.

This is hilarious! Thank you but I don't need trading advice from a papertrader with a penchant for picking the top of bull markets. Yes, it's easy to be a riskfreetrader when you are in demo mode! Let me sum this up, I was not long because I am a breakout trader and Eur/Usd did not break...

Successful traders don't worry about being right or wrong because they understand that trading is a game of probabilities. Why do you say that I lose? Where did I say I had a long position? I was waiting for a long signal on the weekly chart that never came and then when the weekly chart gave...

Trading is not about making predictions or about being right or wrong.
