    Are you living the "good life" with $10 million?

    Once you arent stressing about bills, money can only allow you to do some cool things. At worst it can get you addicted to chasing the corporate carrot or keeping up with the jonses. Those cool things can be fun and enrich your life in certain ways. However, once youve done all those...

    Newbie question: how to start trading FOREX?

    Forex Prop Firms

    I dont think it makes it a scam at all. They just needed a picture of traders, so they used one. My home setup is not in the least photogenic. If one day I look for outside money and have a web site, I sure as hell am not going to put up a picture of my computer room lol.

    Forex Prop Firms

    Im sure their marketing folks didnt take any of those photos. They just buy them. Theres a picture of a girl sunning herself by the pool that I have seen used to advertise 3 condo projects and 4 tanning salons in the last 3 years. UBS and some other bank I cant remember use the same...

    Is this normal?

    you can turn that hedging bullshit off when you log into the back office. myfxcm.com I believe. that was the first thing I did when I opened my account there. When I was employed in FX, when we saw a client start hedging, as a rule of thumb thats when we stopped.

    you have to suspect he really isnt insane and laughs hysterically at his stock trad3r character and all the responses it gets. though for this to be true he would really spend a lot of time in the stock trad3r mindset posting this shit and probably has gone from a normal sociopath to...

    Ayn Rand and trading...

    people overestimate how much they like Atlas Shrugged because they are (rightfully) impressed with themselves they finished a book so long Sometimes I wonder if that old bag ever met a real life human being, just from reading her other stuff.
