    when to take profit?

    No ... you don't. Closing the trade is a necessary but not sufficient condition to making the account flat. You do not need to decide when to go flat in your account to close an individual trade. Except for someone trading on a shoestring the account, as a general rule, has little if...

    when to take profit?

    No ... it's not at all like that. When you tie it to the size of the account rather than a profit goal on a trade it is not just different it is entirely different ... as in not even similar!!

    when to take profit?

    I simply do not understand the concept of "my account gets to where I have enough money, or more than I need, and get flat." And even if I did that statement is CERTAINLY not expressing the concept of needing the money ... in fact quite the opposite. If s guy wants to express that he dumps...

    Confused with Maverick Trading..

    I have no idea if Maverick is a scam or completely legit but I do know the fact that they have been around for quite a while is an absurd metric to use. Madoff was around for decades. Madoff is but one of many examples that could be used.

    Are we going to face a strong correction?

    As the brilliant Mart Zweig ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Zweig ) was fond of saying -- often and with conviction -- "Don't fight the Fed." Investors and traders are much more prone to hold and even increase their speculative positions when money is cheap as opposed to dear. Fixed...

    Are we going to face a strong correction?

    I understand why the market keeps advancing -- you didn't mention the world is awash in cheap money -- just wanted to know why you thought another leg of that magnitude was in the offing. Didn't know it was a joke.

    sky high inflation coming?

    If you take a look at the long term trend the exporting of jobs of all sorts (including call centers) has played a huge part in our unemployment problem. I'm OK with raising the minimum wage and I'm not sure how much more acute that will make the problem but let's not take the anecdotal of a...

    Not Everyday You See "Nazi Stuff" That is Truly Funny!!

    I have no doubt that some number of Jews opted to fight in the German army rather than suffer the alternative. It takes a very brave man to raise his hand in Nazi Germany in 1940 and say "I am a Jew".

    Not Everyday You See "Nazi Stuff" That is Truly Funny!!

    I agree ... the phrase -- 10,000 German Jew people -- rings badly enough that you need to question the intent of the writer. The entire point of my posting was to show that not only were the Nazi's evil in their actions but laughable in their perception of a "Master Race".

    the Nut trade in Gold (comparable to the Nut hand in poker)

    I just don't get the term "nut trade" and equating it with the "nut hand" in poker. If I have the nut in poker I am mathematically assured of winning the pot. There is no such certainty in trading. Why use terms that are false and misleading on their face?

    Half way through life and not close to being consistent

    Since you don't seem to have a methodology that you believe in as of yet how can you trade 108 times in a week? Don't you think that's trading insanity? Why not bring the ction down by 80 or even 90% and find a trade that works for you consistently?
