    Please report back what the top bid is. My guess is it will be south of $1500 if you get a bid.

    What actually controls stock prices?

    Supply and demand. Unless you can come to this conclusion instantly on your own you need to accept you are a long way from being ready to risk even one thin dime trading.

    What are your favourite investing rules?!

    Never trade unless you are well rested and feeling pretty well overall. Most jobs pay you for showing up while trading usually penalizes you for showing up when you are not tip top.

    The counterparty risk is a zillion times high in Forex. A futures trade has the clearinghouse as your counterparty.

    I don't trade FOREX but I suspect that trades that work in that market (I don't think this one works in any market) can frequently adapted to work in the futures market.

    Looks like you have nothing of value here as a futures trade but I'll let those with more options experience make the options call. That said, I'll be quite surprised if there is any value here no matter how you twist it and turn it.

    I don't disagree. We will probably hear the stop is very large but I'm willing to hear what he has to say.

    But did he take that 5 billion and turn it into 20 or 25 Billion in the following 12 months?

    To achieve your 10 tick profit target 80% of the time what stop would you use? I don't think Visaria has quite enough information -- specifically the stop and how often can you trade it in an average session-- to determine if you can get rich with this. With a six tick stop and an average of...

    Maximum Account Size For These Kind of Returns?

    Let me preface my remarks by stating that I have never had even a single year with even close to those returns. That said, in all likelihood, you will probably simply have a year or years where your return is dramatically lower well before your size gets in the way if you are trading markets...

    The most massive leak of all time?

    Anyone -- felon or not -- can use a limited liability entity. Leaving Putin aside this worldwide story will have very long legs and huge impact in many jurisdictions. It provides a starting point for authorities and journalists and it will bring down scores, if not hundreds, of important...

    As has been pointed out it is unlikely that options are the way to go yet a 10 tick move can result in very substantial profit in futures. Do the numbers in the futures market, come up with a stop that makes sense and see if you have a POTENTIAL winner. It only becomes an actual winner if you...

    People have a social component to their lives and many enjoy talking to those in the same industry. Just because you meet doesn't mean you need to give up your best scalps where liquidity might be an issue yet it also doesn't mean even the successful might not learn something.

    85% of retail traders short S&P

    You want your right to your opinion respected yet you want to ban Brooks' books. Do you see a flaw in your logic? My biggest objection to Brooks' first book was that it should have been written in English or at least a language others speak beside him. He needed a real editor and did not have...

    Serious question: What makes a successful daytrader? Is it consistent daily wins, or more wins?

    For you the first step is to decide if you are in it for the action or the money. Be brutally honest with yourself in this assessment. My guess is you are in it for the action and, if I am correct, I have two words for you: VEGAS BABY!!

    My friend Jimmy maintains that spending his Saturdays at Laundromats and struggling to understand the process results in an astonishing number of women coming over to help. He claims to be both the most knowledgeable person an washing laundry in the US as well as the best at playing dumb. As to...
