20lbs??? I am getting ripped haha. I eat beef jerky and drink diet caffiene free sams cola that I pick up at 1am from wal mart before london open from the us, and spend all my free time at the gym. then again, I have spent years refining a lifestyle of minimal responsibility.

I was living, but not trading, In Argentina in 2002. The best pickup line was joked to be "I have an offshore bank account" as the peso crashed to, um, where it is again today. This time there is no offshore. real estate held up waay better than cash but people couldnt get loans to buy it...

lets really bring this thread back to LIFE!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hi6yfgOclw

or, to be more technical, you are buy/selling and sell/buying the swap simultaneously, I believe.

I am full time due to unemployment haha. I have no advice except a month in I am kinda bored. Gym for an hour. GF bullshit for an hour. Trade for 3 hours. Sleep for 7 hours. Then there is so much time to kill, and I dont want to go back to being an alcoholic cause then I wont go to the gym...

I believe the definition of arbitrage is simultaneously buying in one market and selling in another. You are long the interest and short the fake religious exemption.

you are very lucky living where you do. I think london hours, about 7am to 10am there, are the best to daytrade, and thats got to be afternoonish for you. Here its 2am to 5am, which can be a pain.

The point of this thread is for you to be a nitpicking jackass. BTW, heres another anecdote: I just got one of those "buy my newsletter/system/yaddayadda" emails titled "Dow 6,000"

give me a break this was pretty obviously an anecdotally based statement. happy trading.

the problem wth multiple aliases is, how many times did stock trad3r vote?

It seems a little too hip to say "oh yeah we will definitely see 6000 on the dow" (especially to condescend to people not in finance). Anybody think maybe too many people are saying this for it to actually occur? I dont really have a strong opinion that it is so, but it is a sneaking...

yes, and arbitrage + bucketshops = unsustainable

guess they decided today was a good day to go for new lows

man thats a crazy move

well equity markets gave back their gains, tho I am not sure the correlation with usdjpy makes sense now the the carry is nil. Cable and Euro are down as well so maybe its a risk aversion move. Maybe someone thought he was demo trading and decided to go balls to the wall or fat fingered a...

People do this, or at least try to, but those sharia accounts or whatever were tough to get from my experience - youre basically duping one brokerage. They are on the lookout for this and they will notice large negative carry trades with no volume for them to make money on in your account and...

You know, I thought this was a useless thread of me selfishly whining, even as I was typing it. but I think something really good has come of it. most of my errors in my journal have the common thread of too much size, ratcheting my stop too fast, bottom and top ticking breakouts, letting...

on the bright side, I do have some new rules/algorithms after tonight in my journal that should prevent this from happening in the future. One of them will effectively reduce my size.

So, it finally sunk in for me. Trading with my money is way different than my previous situation, which was OPM but had all the accountability of a demo account. I had 2000+ hours screen time, a decent track record, experience swing trading various instruments, experience watching hundreds...
