When is lottotrade going to start?

Seems like everyone knows it is a bull now. Maybe that means it is time for it to end. Heck, even my dad told me the market looks good and he wants to trade stocks. Last time he did that was at the height of the tech craze. I talked him out of it this time, told him he should only do it if...

Well to be accurate I haven't actually lost money trading yet. I've had some interesting equity swings, but I am actually net positive. I'm not saying I've found a niche or have it all figured out, just that this seems to be the easiest market to trade for me.

Zounds, I mainly am looking at weekly and monthly charts now. That is where the big money is as far as I can tell. I've decided to send my 2k to my currency account. Reason: I think I have a knack for currency trading. I look at charts and everything makes sense to me. They seem much...

Yeah I wouldn't enter now, but am looking for a good chance. I believe the official Mammoth residence is around 2k. Of course there are many more here for a year or so, like myself.

Yeah I should have called myself LotteryLord or something. Oh well. I'm considering a long in USD/CHF.

A suggestion: It seems you have been using a range-bound method. Perhaps it is time to change this?

Well I truly am an idiot. I just finished reading these books where all the succesful traders say to never trade off other peoples ideas, just your own. I read the weekly outlook thread and lost confidence in my positions and closed them for small profits. I'd be up 100+ pips on both of them...

Did you get out?

I have some books I don't think I'll be reading anymore. PM with offers. They are all in good used condition. 1. How I've achieved triple digit returns daytrading by Floyd. 2. Beyond Candlesticks by Nison 3. The Compleat Daytrader by Bernstein 4. Technical Analysis of the...

Free real time charting comes with Oanda. It trades a lot different from US markets. Read marketsurfers journal, it explains better than I can. I think it is easier to trade once you get used to it. To sum up, ride trends. I would never fade a breakout in Forex.

I know this is small money to you, but I think you are in a really bad spot. The SP is at the top of a tight range and it sure looks like it might break out big time. What is your stop again?

I am in month 3. 2k to 1.5k trading options. 1.5k to 2k trading stocks. 2k to 4k to 1k to 2k trading futures. Taking a break right now to move back into stocks, planning right now. Just not enough dough for the minis although I do like them. I hope to start making steady profits within 6...

It is instant, and have never had a bad fill. No affiliation, I really am just amazed at how good of a deal it is.

I use Oanda, and they are great. If you want to play with $50 or a couple hundred they are definitely your broker. I have heard you shouldn't trust them with tons of money but i have never heard any good reasons for this. Smallest spreads as far as I know.

Just took a peek at this thread, my positions are the exact oposite. I went short Eur/Usd because it looks like a pullback starting to turn. This is my 2nd week trading forex though. Mind pointing out to me why you feel it is starting to move up? Also got out of a short in the USD/CHF...

Finished reading Reminisces. Fantastic book. If you haven't read it I highly recommend it. I read Coopers Hit+Run 2 today, not bad, not great. Some interesting ideas. I like his method of trailing stops in .75 increments. I think I might use this unless I can come up with some good reasons...

I do, nextrend is great. NQU3'CM

Got out of my USD/CHF short. Looked at a longer chart and realized I probably was shorting on a pullback. Broke even after my adventures in scalping last night. Opened new short positions in AUD/USD and EUR/USD. These are both entries on pullbacks that look like they are resuming their...

What is the min. opening balance for most prop firms? Would it be possible to go remote with 5k? What kind of fees are involved?
