Spot the top of EUR/USd at 1.35 keep it to 1.28 at least Enter at 150:1 leverage. That will give you your return. At that level of leverage only a 75 pip counter move wipe you out! And even in a clear trend, such a counter move is possible. You need to pick the exact top! It's pure...

That a 5% natural return with 100:1 leverage. You can say in the worldwide community of traders, there will always be one lucky bastard who will be able to make it. I insist one the word lucky! He won't make it 2 months in a row!

I just feel too much newbie traders feel indicators and TA in general is the holy grail, they rely too much on it, put on too big positions and forget about the money management part of trading. Then they lose money and say it's all crap.

Case study: Bought a house in 1990 in the top of the last real estate bubble. Then came the recession and real estate collapse. The house didn't lose value during this time. Only, it gave around a 0.1% return a year for 10 years that's all. Then came the present bubble, it almost doubled...

I'm generally winning playing poker although i almost never make THE big gain. I generally make the top 3 on my football/baseball/hockey pool. I have a winning record with trading. I've given up the dream of getting rich that way a long time ago. Just keeping my head out of the water is...

That is one great idea! :cool:

It depends on the system. If you think you can find a flaw in the market and being the only world in the whole financial world (where there are many big brains btw) to know the secret, then sure keep it for yourself. If you trade moving averages or support and resistance, tell it to...

Did you make money?

AAPL is a damn good company that took a beating for at least 10 years and managed to stay alive somehow. Now they got back up on their feet and found their "niche". That tells you something about the quality of the ones running the firm. Technically you might wait for a pullback to get a...

I'm just saying a nonotech fund invested 100% in the nanotech sector today might not get a good return longterm because of what i said. I think it's just better to be patient and wait. The big compagny, the big success story that will happen, we will all see it it will be hard to miss...

95% of these companies won't make it long term. It's an intellectual property based industry. 10 firms compete for R&D, only 1 survives. Even if you get all 10 companies in your long term portefolio to be sure you have stocks of the successful one, i doubt it's profitable. Just jump in once...

For most you need to make 3000$ in a month with a 100000$ buying power. If you calculate it that means 36000$ a year, so a 36% ROI in a year!!!! (you get paid a third of that) Man, if you're able to make that kind of return consistently, start a hedge fund and people will call you god!

At last, AT LAST, someone who understand.

I dont' agree. Both sides are crying we are drifting too much to the other way. Truth is we are doing neither of them, we are going toward the way of the corrupted government. The bigger an organisation is the more corrupted it gets. You rarely hear about the mayor of a 5000 people...

Democracy in itself is an old system and we are ready for something else. What i don't know. But it should be a system where the leader as even less power than the elected president have in the present system. It's about reduction of powers invested in a single individual. None should have too...

Government breaking up monopolies is a very much right wing policy. REAL right wing that is, not those ultra-conservative-religious right wing foney. The argument is one of economic efficiency, period. Economists, that basicly invented right-wing thinking, all say that government is useful...

Ok well we can't understand each others. 2 words: free entry!!!!!!! With free entry all you said is not true. Without it then you would be right. For the insults, blow me!

I know it doesn't exist in the real world. I'm dumb but not stupid :) But what you talk about is politics. Human nature to always get more and more power over others, be that political or corporate. It does exist and always will, we have to live with it. What i'm trying to say is that the...

I still haven't seen a mathematical proof of that. It seems true though. Yet economic development seems to start by making a few rich people then spreading to the base of the pyramid. How wide should the base of the pyramid be and how narrow should the top be to have optimal economic value...
