When you backtest your strategy increase your position size until you reach a point where you find your drawdown becomes excessive. You can have an equity system earning 40% a year with a 4% dd or you can have a daytrading system earning 200% a yr with a 30% dd. The position sizing rules control...

Just started reading 12 habitudes of highly successful traders, and Exceptional Trading the mind game. Very good and she goes beyond just the ego and addresses all aspects individually that need to be addressed. She is also a successful trader.

This fund changed their name 3x before people caught on. they were charging 15% management fees using a strategy that would earn 6%. It also provided upfront fees of 4% to advisors. This shows the extend of the greed in the industry. It turned a mediocre strategy into a marketing machine / money...

John, what is the timeframe for your prop trades? Almost 2 years ago I tried swifttrade here in Canada, and they were pushing traders to do about 200 trades in a day. Now I do EOD trading with a backtested system and I have maybe 100 trades a year. Blows away by several orders of magnitude...

The bigger assholes are the people who paid 15% management fees to get 4% returns

Open up a canadian account Take the Canadian Securities Course and you get around the need to be an accredited investor. Not sure what laws (if any ) are in place to keep out foreigners in the trading of CFDs.

But wait a second here. Isn't the real issue the fact that from what I have been told, more FTSE CFD's trade each day then FTSE Contracts? The other thing neglected to be mentioned is the downside risk. One can't trade leverage with the same kind of stops unless your very well capitalized...

https://www.csi.ca/student/en_ca/courses/financial/csc.xhtml Shorcan Index is here http://www.shorcanindex.com/ You can enquire and then set yourself up with a demo account. This should give you a better idea as to whether CFDs are good for you. And Chagi, you don't have to tell your data...

I spoke with the Toronto Shorcan Rep a few weeks ago, who was a great help, and the short way in ( CFDs being great for shorts, with the lack of a margin issue which is the problem in typical brokerage accounts) is that in Canada you take the CSA course, to become a certified investment advisor...

Any Traders in ET that have Bipolar or depression? Do you have any strategies that you use to keep your Trading impersonal ? Does mental illness make Trading impossible thru depressions or mania due to the subjective activities that it involves? Any thoughts about Trading with and around...

Stock777 that sounds like something from the trading tribe.

Like I said, If it works for you, great. Working at a Slaughterhouse would be more fun than Swifttrade's pathetic model. As for patience and time, I have plenty of that. I simply cut my losses short and left. And I think its important for the vast majority of people who go there to realize their...

Mr. Success, I thank you for your most godly reply. That is why as of 10.23 am EST I went flat at Swifttrade and said to the other trainees ( all of whom were not profitable ) in the room that I can't make money trading like this, congratulations if you can, and left the building. I will be...

Thanks, Yes my post was basically for reporting back my experience. I have read people post the exact same thing as GSCO ( your right :). I've been skeptical from the start about this type of "trading". I've read about the subtleties of this type of trading. And exactly, it's high stakes...

I'm also questioning what these traders will do now Marc To Market. I'm new to trading and the "technique, approach, or style of "trading" " that they use is exactly this. High volume, low cost stocks of which there are few or none left. My first thought was skepticism, pessimism, and now...
