Love it! For successful traders, all this new interest in the markets is just grist for the mill. Common all you real estate "geniuses," (you must be brilliant at investing, after all you made a bunch in RE!), open some fat trading accounts. Jump on in!!! :D Good trading to all. :cool:

Give back $80,000,000? That's one POed Gnome!!! :p

hmmm...40 tics higher now...X $12.5 per/tick...= $$$$... = sold too soon = :(

This is the only King! Thankyuh. Thankyuh verry much.

Out at 7965. ...expect it to run another 100 pts in a couple days...

CHF is comin' back... You guys ought to be propping this thing up for me. Then I'd be out and shut the hell up! :D

Welcome! Good luck with your efforts. :cool:

Rationale is just another system I'm trying that looks for oversold (on a nice, usually, well-behaved currency - don't try it on heating oil!), then tries a small scalp. If I'd been smart, and a tiny less greedy, I'd be out now and looking for a new trade. :mad: Still, the trade isn't...

I mostly trade Naz stocks and a couple futures and options. I have over the years tried ideas such as using gambling theory (pos-neg progressions) to try and get an edge. But what I've found, is that they may work if you are capitalized enough, but there are much better systems that show...

I agree with the conclusions of austin and 40yo. If you have a positive expectation system, and you strictly control trade size/risk, the "average down" or whatever you want to call it, is just another trade. And if you are a believer in reversion to mean, it could be a trade with a higher...

I just have the 3rd edition of Trading Systems and Methods, but it has some info on runs and martingales-antimartingales starting on p 565.

Can't beat Kaufman for detailed info on just about ANY method - including theory of runs/gambling stuff. http://www.amazon.com/New-Trading-Systems-Methods-Wiley/dp/047126847X/sr=1-2/qid=1161179576/ref=sr_1_2/002-8513457-5264002?ie=UTF8&s=books

I know everybody is very interested on how this trade is going. Well yesterday I had a sell order at 7961. Guess where the high of the day was? Yep, 7960. Now we are back to 7900 and I'm losing my a** again. @#%&er! Cruel cruel market... But we'll give 'er some more time. Don't...

Doing better! Target ~ 7960 (li'l scalp) :cool:

Sounds like, at least crusher doesn't like it. Anybody else think this will suck for futs traders?

Good gawd. What a game. Total screwups on O. Kickass on D. And they win it. Year of the Bear?

It will be pretty rough, but here is how you can quit cold turkey. Just get about 200 hours of Mad Money, have yourself tied to a chair and locked in a room. With nothing but a big screen playing MM, over and over and over. You will either be cured of your market addiction...or you'll go...

That was tampa.
