1) www.interactivebrokers.com 2) Liquidity; Liquid enough for you (LOL unless 150-300 contracts on each side of the market don't serve your size needs, in which case you might have to take a little bit of slippage). 3) Slippage: That depends on you and your order type. I never have...

That is a phenomenal performance! 258 pips! :eek: I took 3/4 on that EUR trade for +50 pips, and 1/4 eventually for +90 pips. I just re-entered long at 255 (very low risk play), which is currently green as well, at least some. But that might soon change. :p On the GBP long, I took +40...

LOL! You wish! :p Well, my scalping system (yes, very right, for ranging times!) doesn't use indicators, it kind of orients itself on prior bar highs / lows, but I can't be more specific. For EUR, my stops are between 5-8T, targets ~10T, maybe let some run for more. When it trends, of course...

Hey Baruch, I'm trading Forex futures mainly now intraday, and longer-term plays in forex. The reasons were several; - I like the implications, liquidity, opportunity, lower risk of a 23.5 hour market. - I like not having to stay up till 6am in the morning (lol) - I like the ease of...

First 45, then 55? Again, 55 only became HOD just then... :confused: Baruch, are you sure you're not trading the March contract or something like that? It's 6E M4 currently trading. Better not dabble in the expiring one, unless you really know what you're doing, i.e. interested in arbing...

Just noticed the DAX is looking incredibly sour. Key reversal 15m bar closing on low, next one diving without retrace, rather unsually scary behaviour (I can't remember seeing often / ever) on DAX. It's all rather bearish, and that on volume. Let's not hope the markets will crash today. The...

Genosse Baruch! How are you going old friend? This just cracked me up man, I just thought I'd drop into ET to see what's going on these days, saw "Baruch's Forex System" on the top of page, read it with great interest (I'm currently trading this full-time), flipped to the last page, and what...

This comes the closest to how I think about it. Yes, I too basically left a "career", in fact my own designer & art business, to do this full-time. And yes, some days when it's hot, I get up in the morning, just trade in my boxxers, then go down the beach which is right across from my apartment...

Negative, sir! Robbins is as much NLP as pristine.com is trading. That said though, Robbins has managed to create plenty of change for himself... By selling his distortions to others. So he is, in fact, ahead of a lot of people. Just like the very wealthy Pristine people. Read a hilarious...

I disagree. IMO, there are rarely, if ever, any benefits to lying. The only exceptions I can think of would be exceptional circumstances, such as keeping a child from trauma or wrong action, saving a relationship, or surviving / acting in a robbery, or in the cases where it is required, such as...

I disagree. Which people lie to themselves all the time, and in which case is it in any way beneficial to survival or living quality for that matter? In none beknownst to me. Not only is lying to others a waste of time (since it either distorts or heightens their expectations which you then...

Valued brother nononsense - I'm still alive LOL! I've had some absolutely undescribable multiple computer (hardware) problems, with multiple faulty boards, blown and leaking motherboard capacitors, faulty replacements even, blown hard drives, windows crazinesses, unbelievable stuff, quite...

How or as what do you define "this very special time"? Easy? Difficult? From what perspective? From what location? For example, would you consider this "very special time" to be similarly perceived by people in the USA as it's perceived by people currently living in Romania, Ireland, Cuba...

LOL That sounds hilarious man! :D Admittedly, while my knowledge on Seinfeld or any soaps is very limited by choice, the approach you talk about has been discussed in many areas of life I think. The irony is that being "opposite" or against the common perception of direction, is a secret...

Thanks a lot, Samson!* One of the smartest things I've read in a while! How very true, being honest with others (and even more so with yourself) is the most important thing of all. If you fail to do so / cheat, the markets (or your brokerage statements for that matter) are a great place to...

Did you have to say this so rudely because after your last trading venture, you simply had NoMoreOptions? :D

LOL ER! This had me in stitches man! :D OK, for starters, I think the Chicago boys you were talking to must have either: 1) Had no bloody idea 2) Been bitten by the DAX 3) Been just plain lying Not only that, but I happen to've heard about a lot of Chicago boys doing multiple M$ a...

LOL! Are you sure? Here's the definition of meek: adj. meek·er, meek·est 1. Showing patience and humility; gentle. 2. Easily imposed on; submissive. Which one would you rather like to apply here. Now, is trading for the meek, or not? Ran right into it, though, nice! Gotta love...

Thanks for your great words, saxon. You're precisely right. The wisest word I've heard on this topic (exactly what I said to myself and what my best friends said). This is all that counts. My confusion was caused by the fact that despite a large sample size (over 30 trades yesterday), the...

And: 6. who's your daddy? :D
