I wasn't saying that making a lot of money in the markets isn't possible, I was saying that no one makes X of dollars a day every day. There are big swings in the money that traders make on a daily basis.

Oh and once you reached that size you probably would be holding something overnight, no matter how small, just for shits and giggles.

Day trading, and trading/investing in general, is not a consistent income generator. You will never find someone that makes $3500/day, day in day out. They will make $10000 one day lose $3000 the next, have up months and down months. It would be dangerous to quanify how much you make on average...

Nice market commentary, but you are assuming that everyone has the same positions as you, which is wrong. And you missed the fact that Fed gave the impression that they would stop raising interest rates soon. Your "positions" which basically amounted to one position, long the Dollar, went...

I think you should take it easy on Depth, he obviously doesn't have much money (based on his comments and jealousy) or a job (he is trying to find one on a website) and from the PM's from him I gather that he lives with his parents still. I actually feel bad for him. Sorry your paper trading...

The meetings aren't open to the public, the markets move when the minutes are released because that is the first chance the public has to learn what occured during said meeting.

Depth Trade, How often do you get stopped out of all your positions? By posting your trades and asking for people to fund a trading account for you, you should expect to get a lot of scrutiny, if you can't deal with it maybe you shouldn't ask to manage accounts for people. 5yr

I can't confirm when you placed your earlier trades in this journal and there were some accusations that you were using stale prices. I decided to track your positions real time, looks like you have a hard time taking a loss and can't stand critism. BTW where did you get filled on your stops...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I beleive you got stopped out on the Euro and Swiss and your Yen and Sterling trades are againist you.

Ouch your long dollar position doesn't look so good today. 5yr

There is no offense meant by this, but I think this is a problem that a lot of traders face, the unwillingness to make a desicision NOW. You can always wait for more confirmation, or (and this is the worst thing to do) wait for a pull back for a "low risk" entry point in a strong trend. So...

Don't know much about the other indicators, but when I look at this chart I don't see a down trend. It would need to break the low it set in early december or close below your bollinger band. Basically consolidation period. I would confirm a downtrend with a close outside of the lower B band and...

Also look at www.autumngold.com which is free, and http://www.catranis.com/ need to register but free as well. If you are an experienced investor finding a decent CTA with this info shouldn't be very hard. Almost all (with the exception of Quadriga whos fees are enormous and return stream is...

Knowing the trend will make you money, it just so happens that your approach sucks. :D

Steve, you are f_cking hilarious. Star, You need to be clear on what interest rates you are talking about. But if you were convinced that all rates would move higher there are plenty of investments that would allow you to profit from it directly. You could short bonds; 10 year, 5year, and...

I think Ripley can do it, reach his million dollars. Stick with it, one day that right trade will come and you will just kill it, make sure you have enough bullets though. Good Luck 5yr

I can't understand why you are getting short/long at those points, a lot of lines on the graph. Also when you are short and then get a long signal do you buy twice as many cotracts? (get out of short and establish long) Where is your stop?

ROFLMAO, you're so busted topgun. What a retard. Seriously why would you be peddling your wares on an internet site if you have software that works so well, surely you could make more trading. Also could you please answer roberk's question about the 3 pip spread? Thanks 5yr

Philadelphia board of trade, and I beleive that it isn't TT that needs to have access but your broker, I could be wrong though.

?? Who are you talking too? Tone it down a little, its only your first couple of posts. By the way Eurex US traded the US treasury complex until recently and the PBOT is going to offer them soon.
