    Not Holy but Close Grail

    By the way, how do we know the numbers are accurate? They could just be completely made up. For example, did you know that 95% of the time that Thursday falls on the 4th of the month, that the market close up? How do we verify these numbers?

    Not Holy but Close Grail

    You could flip a coin for all those days over the last 100 years and get a lot of numbers too, I'm not sure that this is useful.

    Trading rooms: any good ones?

    Just replying to a previous post that you should avoid a signal room and look for an educational room, I completely disagree with that. How do you know the education works if they don't do live trades? Everyone can look like a genius with even just a few seconds of hindsight. Do you really...

    trading from Phuket

    You'll need to get a business line as opposed to a residential line. The residential lines have very little bandwidth, even if they are high speed. Just talk to TOT about a business line. Initially they will tell you no, but go into the office and talk to a supervisor. Explain to them...

    Technicians with holes in their shoes and frayed shirt collars

    The whole thing is dumb anyway. No one has holes in their shoes or frayed collars any more. Since we now import everything from China, everyone can get a pair of shoes for 8 bucks and a shirt for 3 bucks. Larry Williams has always been a big technical analysis basher. He started a...

    The less you trade, the more you win?

    It depends on what type of trader you are. If your a scalper, it's a pointless question to begin with. The implied point is to sit back and let your winners run. The other point is to pick your trades, don't let your trades pick you. That said, if you've got a great system that...

    What the heck is this ??

    Seems like a pretty simple system. Nearly every news announcement will bounce both ways, so you just use a tiny target and a big stop loss. You get a lot of wins, but whoops, every loser whipes out a few weeks gains. You don't actually make money with this system. Daddy owned a big...

    Criag Harris FX mentoring

    Look, it's real simple. If the system worked, he would work for GS. He wouldn't sell it on a website.

    Craig trades portions of the London and New Your Session Well, he can't spell, that's a good sign. I'm not sure when the New Your session begins, must be a new country.

    Chart replay

    E signal is great for this. You can even get that feature with their 25 buck a month end of day trader package. You can pull back pretty far with their historical data as well. If you pay an extra 10 bucks you can get 2 years of futures data.

    How can someone blow up in day trading?

    Plus, there's another big disadvantage you're not thinking about, the house is always up a tick on you. Let's say you buy 1100.50, and your stop is 1100 and your target is 1101. You're more likely to get stopped out than hit target, because it's easier to get stopped out. If 1 person...

    Risk/Reward Question

    I think the reason for the reward target is to give yourself an edge, even though we don't know of course where the reward target it. If you're trading the ES, for example, and your risk is three ticks, and your target is 9 ticks, then you only need to win 3 out of 10 times to make money, and 2...

    Fear and delusion

    Guys, I grew as a newbie trader watching Jon and Hub. Now, I've come to realise they're full of it. So are all the other mentors I've seen on the web. If they could do what they say, why would they be surfing around trying to find customers. Why wouldn't they be putting their millions to...

    A little brain Teaser! I need your help and the answer will pertain to trading

    I think the point is that you should stop reading post at ET, and spend more time trading. That's how you'll improve your trading. Really, this is pointless. Isn't there a place for stupid post to be posted so this one can be moved. You could call it, Stupid Stuff.

    Anyone travel the world all while trading?

    Internet connection all over the world is fine, even in developing countries. You just have to do a bit more research, and may have to pay for a business line as opposed to a residential line. I run Esignal, thinkorswim, and IB charts, and several platforms all at once, with almost zero delay...
