    "Perfect play" is more complicated than that. It involves sometimes doubling down, splitting, surrendering, in addition to just hit or hold. But even with perfect play, the dealer has the advantage of winning when both hands bust over 21.

    What moves are you aware of that I'm doing? And what is cannon balling?

    1. Your losses don't feel the same on paper. (Neither do wins). 2. I'm not risking an amount that would bankrupt me. 3. I've already tried quant and EA's... I don't know what else to do than try to "position trade" based on what I believe I know and make educated guesses. If I'm wrong, then...

    ES & NQ

    Why? Cause I decided not to do it. It was at 2700 at the time, so it would have been about 450% return.

    One thing I'd like to learn is how to only trade during volatile trading hours (near open, near close) and just make 1 or 2 "bets" per day and hope I can get a system that puts the odds in my favor. The thing about blackjack is that the odds are known, so that when I lose with a 20 (or win with...

    I make more than this building spec homes (when leveraging with construction loans). Much more. Over 100% actually. Problem is... It's ALOT of work. So much that it makes me hate life at times.

    Like what? Buy an index fund? (Or why not index fund future).

    ES & NQ

    I remember those on here who called me an idiot for saying I was going to ride ES futures to 3100 back in April 2020. Wish I would have done that and held it.

    I have tried TA, in the form of Expert Advisers that I purchased. I still KNOW that TA doesn't drive markets, and that qualitative economic news/data does. For example, could any indicator have predicted the coronavirus? Obviously not. Doesn't mean that TA can't work short-term or under certain...

    I lost the trade where I bought my supposed "support" line. After that happened, I flipped 180 and started selling eurusd, this time backed with what is hopefully good reasoning. (Good news today about NFP and USA interest rates continuing to rise).

    1. On the topic of strong trends, what would be your play on GBP/USD? Could this be a chance to buy a dip? 2. I'm not willing to risk a substantial amount of money in this right now (or possibly ever). Due to this fact, if my SL were closer, then any slight move in the wrong direction would...

    I shouldn't even justify you with a response... But I'm actually doing drastically different than before. I don't even know who the fvck you are other than you have an attitude such that you're lucky the law protects you. PS: I'll bet I have more money in my bank account than you do, you...

    Here's a screenshot from my Demo Forex account. Earlier today, I had bought EURUSD because I thought it might be approaching a resistance line (blue). So I set SL and TP and lost that trade. So after it broke below that resistance, I did the reverse and sold. I quickly won back what I had...

    I just transferred money into a live Forex account for the first time in a few months. Last time I was here, I was trying to use Expert Advisers to work with MT4. I stopped doing that because of bad/mediocre results and because the authors of the EA's would not tell me the exact mechanism they...

    If it were that easy, then you should easily be able to write an algorithm that will yield great % return.

    Pearl Harbor and the danger of an international trade war

    I heard that the reason Japan decided to attack Pearl Harbor was because... Japan's actual goal was to take over British and Dutch colonies in Asia to get their resources. They couldn't do this without bypassing the Philippines (American owned at the time). So they knew they would have to...
