working on it. I submitted my naturalization paperwork more than a year ago, and I'm just waiting. Brazilians love waiting in line. It took me waiting 45 minutes in a bank the other day just to pay a bill. It took me almost 2 years to get my ID card. Back to the Paraguay/Uruguay connection...

you know, years ago, I lost boatloads with stocks. Remember "Buy, Hold, and Lose it All!!!" I lost tons of money on stocks and and I'm still "recouping" that money. I'm not keen on paying Brazilian tax something that is technically recouping my money from losses from years ago in the US. These...

Surf, actually the markets remain the same, but the PLAYERS change. I've got a question for ya? Why 10 contracts? If you're not consistently profit, why not 1 contract, or even better, in SIM? Actually, after I get to a level where the money is OK for me, I stop trading live. I just mark up my...

You are correct Cornix. Fxbook uses the investor password on MT4 and they take around 3-4 hours to verify your trades. Welcome to the discussion. It's always nice to chat with profitable trader. I recently opened a futures account to do some trading on the ES. If I detect that the currency...

@dealmaker, you're turning out to be a golden can of WD-40!!! Where are those good jobs!!??? You seem quite adept to using this social media. I recently created an account on Linked In, but found no such job of that type. If you already know who I am (real photo), then at the least, friend me on...

I'm curious to know about this guy. His Twitter resulted looked good. He was saying, "I NAILED IT" several times. This is this performance "black hole" that I keep talking about on non-MT4 platforms!!! If the guy is a real winner on MT4, he could show it within 3-4 hours, pending confirmation...

If anyone is US by birth and has family there, but has no problem with the dual reporting requirement, ** AND IS PROFITABLE ** please let me know your story. Send me a PM, by all means. I thought the FATCA was going to kill me like the Americans in Switzerland, but I don't think Brazil is going...

Sheesh, I wish! This is probably going to be an eye opener for you. It's the USofA, aka "Land of the Free" [Enslaved], sent me two notices so far and of course, I already get notices where I live, Brazil. Yes, American Sheeple, when you say BYE to the US, they don't say BYE to you. When you live...

very cool dealmaker. I'll definitely check them out. Thanks. I like putting pips/ticks on the net and let the curious people try to guess how much I'm using. I kind of explained why someplace else in a long-winded post about having two governments sending me notices. But if everyone here just...

After reading about prop firms on here (and how basically they don't do anything extra-- like help build your name), I sent them an email to cancel the evaluation. I have yet to get a reply back so I bet they're just going to play dumb and tell me there is no way to cancel it. I get the...

just to answer the other question posted in the question: full time. That I am not. Usually I just trade live 1 or 2 trades a day and I'm done. Overtrading, been there done that. Tuesday was a great day, 3 trades, nice money. The biggest trade occurred while I went to get a milkshake. Rebates...

emg, I have to disagree with you a bit. I agree with many things, except the book thing. Seems like "everyone and their dog" writes a book about trading. A couple of people come to mind that have written books that have setups that will get your account killed. Or how about books on trading...

My performance was crap until I stopped trying to trade newbie divergences and other indicators. There are so many people who pimp that stuff. OP, if you're doing that, stop. If someone is struggling and wants to trade in a chat room, I can refer one. The guy is in New York. He's up 50%+...

yep, round lots. Multiples too, especially for intraday cause stops are narrower and feels like less risk. I'm all-in and all-out because I haven't gotten around to installing the EA that will scale-out. I get $3 for every lot I trade in rebates that go to my paypal account every month :) When I...

Are there really no "verification services" for the major futures platforms? It exists in the forex market. There are about 5 major sites that will verify your stuff with your broker. People trust it for that reason. I'm interested in this too because I recently set up a futures account...

I disagree. Unless someone is going to have a good practically guaranteed job, I wouldn't recommend it. I have undergrad + MBA and what am I doing? Trading and passing [wasting] time in forums. Seems like everybody nowadays has at least a college degree. Who is really benefitting? The schools...

Sheesh.. this always happens. When "an analyst" on TV says something, do the opposite and you have more than 90% chance of winning. I've used this technique a few times myself.

you haven't heard of myfxbook because I bet you are in the US where they love to show fictitious speadsheets (Madoff). I don't trust anything that isn't verified by a 3rd party. Ninja statements, what a joke! Someone can be doing everything in SIM mode. I don't have a problem telling people my...

marketsurfer - those are LIVE accounts. myfxbook verifies the information with the brokers. If you see the two green checkmarks, then they verified everything. I, personally, don't accept demo results. Demo and live are two different animals. If I didn't have trading, I'd be f****d cause there...

OP, maybe you don't want to hear it, but if you can't trade profitably, I'd recommend you do something else. It's not a coin flip... My situation is similar to the profitable futures trader. I was really good at blowing accounts. But I was very persistent. Nowadays, if I didn't have...
