This is your logic. What I meant is that there was no time in history that someone did not have an advantage, yet, there are always great traders and investors who do not focus on what they do not have, instead what they do have and make the best out of it. For example, If you do have a...

During the civil war, there were spectators sitting on the hill who reported to large institutions and speculators who is winning in the battlefield. They reported it by Telegraphs or by actually riding on horses and reporting the situation. So there was always an unfair advantage to...

I understand. I posted this also for the readers of the site. We have a growing demand for people who want to trade from phones and other wireless devices. We just want to avoid any latency issues that could occur. I would say for most who can not measure latency, stay with a wired connection...

Why add structured fees where you can trade just the underlying asset? Just curious.

You can replace the word "order flow" above with any method and the same would apply.

My reference was to algo/automated scripts that may trigger orders overnight. If you keep a position overnight or orders, which is a result of discretionary trading, you obviously know the risks associated with such overnight moves and the protection you have to put in place.

What do you mean "pay for", which asset are you buying?

I am not sure what your response has to do with my question about regulation of coin and price discovery of these instruments. But, if you want to know my answer to yours, here it is: I want to be with the leader of Block Chain just like Amazon is the leader in e-commerce. Someone will...

The more important question is how does the token rise or fall in value in terms of it's valuation to the underlying asset? Who supervises it? who regulates its price mechanism?

LOL! right on! "times" added.... This is what happens when you multitask...you just forget one variable that makes all the diff.

Successful trading is like a pregnant woman. Everyone congratulates you, yet don't know how many times you were _______ to get there.

You should develop your own ROI, without the ongoing "race" to compete with something that perceives to be good. Each trader evolves as he makes his conclusion and observation. Regretfully, in this age of the internet, there are many theories of what is possible, but many of them are far...

A losing trade is a losing trade. But one trade does mean your trading method is terrible. Losing trades can occur as a result of a myriad of reasons, and as I said one trade should or even 5 for that matter should be the cause to rewrite an entire method. Series of adverse events and good...

I agree. A trade that did not go well, is not a mistake. If analyzing each trade works for you, I understand and respect it. If it helps you build a long term pattern, then it's even better. The bottom line is that if you do things that help you improve your trades, you are in the right...

Your math is off. If you risk 2% per trade, you do not add 2% as if you start over. So after five trades, you would be down less than 10%. Second, I did not suggest not to analyze trading, and I am a big advocate for analyzing your data. But, I recommend having a macro view as opposed to...

Analyzing each individual trade is useless in the context of 50 or 100 trades. It means nothing. UNLESS you have one of those individual trades that ate your entire account, and that is a big risk management concern (and psychological).

You have a fair point. In Futures, you deal with leverage and margins, and it does not allow the same luxury (for most) as stocks with a long term view. But each trader has a risk tolerance, and also a comfort level of trading one asset over another. Yes, leveraged trading has a higher risk, but...
