I'm just gonna quote some of the crap DT-waw came up with, so he knows what he's up to in terms of embarrassing himself before he responds here again; find my comments in italic; <b>Conclusion: the richer you're, the higher chances of staying longer as a trader.Certainly, it's not a rocket...

You're damn right brother TM... It's good to hear the wise words of a fellow professional again. I shouldn't be annoyed by ppl like DT-waw. Gone through some of his posts, he never made a valuable contribution on this board. He's a frustration case and now he seeks victims. It's much...

LOL TM! :p It's his choice, hey!? I'm all peaceful. I'm just asking for an apology... ~Scientist :cool:

There's no "answer" to it. There's only "test and measure" of different kinds of trade management on whatever issue you're trading. That's why you backtest. There are no answers. Answers don't make us winners. Discipline and due diligence make us winners. Period. ~Scientist

Again, nonsense. You're just not getting the point. YES. An entry IS important because it can give you big winners when you are right. But it STILL doesn't matter which direction you take - Because you CANNOT know if you were right BEFORE the fact. The thing you're talking about is...

What kind of effect this would have on security for all of us, is easily imaginable for anybody with a functioning brain. And I'm not just speaking of locals. Anybody anywhere in the world can open an online brokerage account these days and then make false threats to get up their accounts, not...

This is nonsense. This would assume that trading is about "being right or wrong" about your decision to put on a trade and it's direction. This is a common fallacy that all beginners fall for. Trading has got little to do with directional bias. Directional bias, in the short-term, can give...

TA, properly used, is more than 90% precise. Not because it works - But because everybody uses it. Simple as that. ------------------------------------- OK. Maybe a little over-enthusiastic about TA. You were taking me a little bit too serious here. It was in context. You might be surprised...

I do the same. I write down a lot of stuff. However, particularly when I'm really busy, (i.e. scalping) I tend to use an electronic notetaker. At the end of the day, I review all my notes. Listen to what's said, listen to the tone of voice they were said in, which helps enormously with...

AMEN. Good point. It's a good idea to try to keep the psychological and financial pressure away from your trading (account) wherever possible. I'm still running my Jewellery Design & Manuf. Business part-time. Nevertheless, no matter what you do, it's definitely best if the other income...

All this doesn't make sense. Are there humans behind it? :confused: I thought IB doesn't even employ humans, except for the occassional cyborg. Am I wrong? Do they have STAFF??? Not that I'm dissatisfied. I'm happy with my IB account. I'm just amazed at human gestures [gifts], that's all...

Brother DT-waw, Why do I get all this cynicism from you? You really seem to have a problem with scalping! What is it? Got burnt? :) ~Scientist

1) If scalping isn't the hardest form of trading, then wtf is? Swing? 2) 1, 2 cents? Does this atually work? 3) You must have really low commission rates or deal with tickets and a very large amount of stocks at a time? The only scalping I do today (if I do) is Nas, aiming for 5-15...

OK, just at the risk of being flamed here: BMW M3: I -don't- actually think the BMW M3 is a "girlish" car at all. Unless maybe it's red. It is a serious european executive and speed-and-handling-combined-with-maximum-comfort-lover-car. I had a ride in a BWM M3 that I'll never forget - So...

Umm... How about starting with one office? :) ~Scientist :cool:

I use time stops :) Once upon the time I discovered them, I thought I'd found something new. But essentially, it's just logical and can be a very powerful tools to escape change of sentiment just before it happens, during the period of indecision. For example, when I scalp, I use i.e. a...

Nice that somebody finally started a thread on scalping :) Well, true. Scalping is absolutely the hardest form of trading, in terms of concentration and discipline. You definitely need nerves of steel, passion and determination to succeed. He's right also on the trading style. Start...

"Unrepresentative". Well, precisely. Politicians do this in Australia, it's called "push-polling". :) "No", "Don't care", "Already got similar / sufficient program" etc would have been appropriate options on this poll. It's best to balance a poll 50/50 if you can. And for that matter have...

AMEN, AMEN & AMEN! I said this on this board so many times ... News is B.S! Switch the goddamn TV off during RTH, for heaven's sake! If you really need news, go and get it off your trading platform! -AMEN. ~Scientist

We should all get together and make pressure to remove <i>FasterPussycat</i>. This guy should no longer be bothering people sincere about learning how to be better traders. If 777 is banned, I see no reason why FPC shouldn't be as well. Baron's staff should just grab this guy's name, IP...
