    I like the lowercase i:s for low earner authenticity.

    ERIC for shorting

    As a reminder, China: Has ~540 million public cameras feeding into their AI survelliance systems. Has had leaks showing extensive data sets on one billion of their own people. Has a dystopian social credit system. Requires their nationals by law to spy for the Chinese state if requested. And...

    If most ppl lose when they try to win $$, what happens when they "try" to lose $?

    1) One reason to why traders lose is transaction costs. Those can unfortunately not be inverted, unless you start a market making business. 2) "Inverting yourself" in a vacuum as a discretionary trader is patently ridiculous, you're likely to change something. Maybe you could do it by trading...

    UCO and other Oil long plays

    Oil often displays fade the news price behavior. Although I think going oil is going a bit higher this year, I wouldn't go long for a short term trade here. Disclaimer: I'm not an oil trader.

    Pension age is raised 2 years in France, now Paris is burning.

    lol wtf are you on about, news covering this has fronted every newspaper in Sweden of substance (for instance). Meanwhile, the Swedish age of retirement might end up at something closer to 70 by the time I retire.

    Polymorphism In C++

    What's the purpose of the thread? Are you looking for some kind of input? This is a trading forum after all. (And yeah, could be a bot...)

    Scammerholes...best email I've gotten

    Yeah, sadly it's not very difficult for a scammer to copy the HTML/CSS format of a legit email. So you can't use visuals to ascertain it's legit.

    Advanced level Grid Martingale Strategy based Expert Advisor for AUSUSD and EURCHF

    Well, at least you're honest about what it is in the thread title. Martingales feel good for a while then you lose all your money (or maybe if it's an "advanced one", a major loss that eradicates profits anyway). You're not gaining any edge by unconditionally averaging down, just shuffling...

    One American Vs 250 Germans (WW2)

    Because he was lucky that a random artillery shell didn't blow him up (also considering all previous engagements he was in) or a particular way a German aimed his rifle would have produced a hit. War is random like hell on the individual level but somebody has to go out there and do the job...

    One American Vs 250 Germans (WW2)

    These kinds of stories are neat but one should remember it's a survivorship bias. The story is also how 250 guys managed to lose to 1 guy (haven't watched it yet but I assume based on the title that's how it plays out). :D

    Second account blown and conditioned to lose

    I do hope you have another income stream... Otherwise it's mission impossible IMO.

    Second account blown and conditioned to lose

    So of course making small RR trades can be an issue, or any kind of small short duration trades that have a high transaction overhead vs price movement. You also need to be in the trade long enough to capture the move you set out to capture. Be aware CFDs are typically more expensive than...

    Do you pay borrow fee on share CFDs at IB?

    Yeah, presumably it's only net exposure that gets hedged (disregarding details on how to avoid extra roundtrips when e.g. an open to buy follows an open to sell of another customer on a lag).

    How Citadel harnessed the weather to claim hedge fund crown; Bold bet on commodities plays

    But scientists don't know how to analyze weather I'm constantly told by right wingers denying global warming or its human causation.

    Are you good at price action and technical analysis?

    My guesses would be as good as random so the 8/15 seems about right. Tried to perform mental linear regression and extrapolate trend, but my view is that just looking at price is dead in the water. It's interesting if ETers in aggregate would have a score <= 6 though, provided enough samples...

    The world is really crazy. . .

    I considered that possibility, but it's a bit unusual theme for a spambot. Of course, ChatGPT would easily be able to make something like that linguistically, but it it wouldn't choose a current news topic and instead have been instructed to write something super generic about trading.
