If anyone needs me, I'll be over at the Swiss Bank Account thread with my sand wedge.

I will be fine as long as they let me have a golf club in my cell ( so I can practice my swing). P.S. By the way, has anyone noticed the thread about "Swiss Banks? I posted some info, thinking that would be it. Then I checked back, and found that there are multiple pages from all kinds of...

Hello Everyone: Greetings from wet and soggy California. by the way, I was just kidding earlier. I would never strike anyone with a golf club. I prefer to use a tennis racquet or a fireplace tool. Best Regards, Steve46

Hello NihabAshi: I learned something new from your post. It seemed as though I was the only one left who manually reviewed intraday price charts, but I see that you do the same. I appreciate the advantages that a skilled backtester has when using good software, but as you point out, it can be...

I know this is off subject, but I own a vacation home in New Hampshire on a lake. I noticed that it has appreciated quite a lot in the last year alone. I have never lived in it, but kept it just in case I got out that way on business. My accountant informed me that I needed to refi or do...

Hi Roberk: I have offered an opinion on this subject before, but I don't remember the thread. Money managers use options as a tool. For instance, I use options to minimize distributions from a family fund. If you had followed the put/call ratios (equities and index) over the last few months you...

There are about 1,000 banking institutions in Switzerland. The oldest of them are Julius Baer and Vontobel Geneve. Numbered accounts still exist, however the identity of the beneficial account owner has to be known by one or more of the bank staff. Also citizens of certain countries are...

Indeed, Metoox is correct. All one has to do is to obtain the proper education and experience. After that, simply find enough money to fund a trading account and put in the time to research and test an approach that provides a measurable edge in at least one market. Then have the discipline to...

I wonder if your mother knows that you are using the family computer? Although in another thread you mention that you own a restaurant, based on your posts I have identified you as a 13 or possibly 14 year old who has recently been suspended from school for smoking. I suggest you go back to...

I've used both Optionetics (although it was a long time ago) and OptionViue more recently. OptionVue adds more value, and is better for a wide range of tradeables. It is also more expensive. Unless you go to the top level professional products (Onyx, Micro, etc) OptionVue is probably the best...

Well Hello Todd: It is really hard for me to ignore this kind of post. Where to start, well first lets review your claim that " John's Pivot plays are well well known on the floor". I really can't let that stand. Some of us are either former floor traders or know an active floor trader. I have...

Hello Everyone: Thanks NihabAshsi for the kind comment. Glad to see you are well and about. I do not know the Carter method in depth, however there are some comments I can make from a review of the sales pitch. First, it looks as though the method relies primarily on price action. In the text...

HI Axeman: You have a lot of posts, so I hesitate to ask this question. When you "tested" the turtle system, did you use the original money management rules? Based on memory, I believe there are several versions of turtle system "out there" and without the correct money management system, they...

Hi Folks: I don't want to hijack the thread, so I will simply say that the method (Carter Method) may in fact be a decent method to study and use. Obviously, anyone can lose money, even with a good system (think drawdown). On the other hand, I want to mention that I have some experience with...

Hi Walther: Just curious to see what you were doing. I notice the same deadbeats looking for useless information as to how much you made on each trade. Apparently they are too damn lazy to just do their own homework. In my world, this is the definition of a "piker". From experience, I have...

I trade the ER periodically. It seems to move quite well. I look at bonds, dow30 (Ticki) to get some idea of where it might head. I noticed your comment regarding an ER trade where you were looking to bonds for guidance as well? Hope you have a great day. Good luck, Steve46

Nonsense: So true. For example, I have learned quite a lot about the Bahamas from Metoox (Thanx Metoox).

Hi Paula: Couple of things quickly for you: First I notice that your sample data size is small at little more than 2 mos. Not a good sign. I know it takes a lot to obtain a bigger sample, but it is more than worth it. Second, from your data I extrapolate the type of system you are building is...

I have read both books (Kiev and Douglas). The challenge is in implementing the concepts. It is relatively easy to read about trading "in the zone", and much more difficult to find and get into "the zone". In my experience, it has been a matter of discipline and motivation. Specifically, I had...

Noahoren: If you are new to trading, read "New Traders Thread" before doing anything. Look in "journals" or search for posts by steve46. The choices you are talking about are in my opinion unlikely to be productive. I hope you will take it slowly and learn more about the subject before putting...
