    Futures Going To Get Killed Tonight!!!

    would that be considered a 62% retrace? It looks to be a little more. Take the money and run if you are up on the day!

    superfoods for trading

    Sarkis is no doubt one of the best breakfasts but before trading I'm not touching because usually it's followed with an hour nap. But open for lunch and can hit it after a good morning.

    Would you quit after you have made $1Mil?

    Cutten makes an excellent point. Most people don't enter this business with $1mm as their target. Think Big Buddy!

    The Billion $$$ Quest 2007

    Something tells me taking the opposite side of all his trades might reap someone a decent 50k bonus on the year. Still hilarious now i'm happy more people are recognizing how sad this really is.

    The Billion $$$ Quest 2007

    Come on how can anyone encourage these types of posts. Yeah the energy is there but the expectations are unrealistic. Considering he's saying he's going to be the next Soros or Buffett. Give me a break but this type of attitude will be destructive in the end. Trading is a business that...

    gambling outside of the markets

    Personally I don't think that there is anything wrong with gambling in your off time while trading but you have to be careful because both deal with psychology of what your expectations are. I find that if I don't gamble during the week I trade better because after I leave the markets I can...

    How to avoid drawdown when you increase your position size?

    I don't especially think that predicting a draw down is that predictable. Yes it's going to happen but you can possibly overcome it faster than say a run of bad cards at the poker table. If you start to recognize a drawdown, take time to examine trade, lower your trading size in the mean time...

    hedge fund trader vs. daytrader

    Whistler i think you summed it up perfectly. If markets are moving there will be opportunity. Just because Vol is low doesn't mean it's impossible to day trade, you just have to discipline youself more to take the right trades and be patient. Not to mention know your trading stategy and the...

    5K to 5 BILLION

    I try to hit singles over and over rather than home runs once a year. I do believe you will eventually go broke with that strategy.

    Retrospectively, what is the worst trading book you ever read?

    something along the lines of "how i made 1mm in the stock market" forgot who wrote it or actually could care less. luckily I borrowed from the local library and did not have to put forward any earned money. Ego maniac that tells how he could pick the bottom everytime during the tech bust and...

    ***my First Post***

    The more I think about the money the worse I trade. When I focus on the process and staying disciplined the better I trade. Setting a realistic goal is possibly the most important thing a trader can do. When you set a goal that is unrealistic you will try to beat the market instead of taking...

    Pivot Points

    When calculating pivot points I'm trying to figure out the best way to calculate weekly and monthly pivots. When creating weekly I am considering using a 5 day period and not starting over every monday, does anyone do this? If I start monday my weekly pivots are the same as my daily pivots...

    ***my First Post***

    why not just move to Vegas? You can trade during the day and play poker at night until you hit your first goal that would allow you to trade full time. Take your time with trading and figure things out. Markets are always changing and that means you will have to change with them if you plan...
