well when it's 90% AND a 1:1 reward to risk, yeah, that is DAMN suspicious and to answer your question, yes i'd be suspicious of 3:1 and 45%, but then again i'd be suspicious of ANY and ALL chatroom operators at the end of the day, i couldn't really give a hoot about chatrooms at all...

25. full time intraday trader (year and a bit). bummed around in college for a couple of years (computer science 1year/ finance the next), never learnt a thing (biggest regret, idiot!).. damn, everyone has such cool pre-trading stories... i'm gonna be 50 and someone will ask me what have u...

i have a funny feeling that's going to occur...

if every one of the 13,000 of us each bought a couple of ES contracts at the same time i think we'd make a bit of a stir..

just checked out LBR's 'short skirts' method to understand what tampa's going on about in his journal. this from her site: We try to look for Short Skirt setups that have the potential for a minimum of three points in the trade. This is to allow for a minimum of ½ point slippage in and...

yeah you're right. i'm just a stupid tadpole. but the logic of that second paragraph escapes me... just because i had arab friends, who were not iraqis mind you, i MUST be against an attack on iraq? why? i'm pretty sure the US isn't attacking iraq based on religious grounds... look, i...

stu you psuedo-intellectual dimwit! geez i'm so sick of these people posting there crap on here, trying to sound smart with their fancy "proofs".... :D

oh yes, so you did. my mistake. still, i don't think those qualities are diametrically opposed, more a case of variance in degree. in that case, i don't think it's too surprising that a lot of people would have a hybrid style, using more of each strategy as the conditions warrant. i think...

as i've said before, arab contributions to civilization ended loooong ago.

To make things clear … I am against any unjustified attack on Iraq like 90% of the planet let alone occupying and colonising this country… 500,000 people demonstarted in London this is enormous and I was there.... i guess you didn't understand my question. i asked you whether you think...

candletrader, i can understand how the actions of the united states in international affairs can be regarded as unfair, unjust, meddling, etc etc but i think if you look throughout history, the actions of the most powerful nation of the time have been far far worse than anything the US has ever...

candle, i picked your third category. although i'm not sure i'd really fit into any of them. other people probably feel the same way, hence the its popularity. i aim for about 20c on naz stocks (you only listed NYSE!). this kind of gain can usually be achieved on what i'm gonna loosely call...

the rest of your posts sounds like you are talking to babak, but that question seems directed to me, so i'll answer it. i said my best friends were arabs, "were" past tense. but the reason they no longer are has nothing to do with religion, i've moved cities. and of course if i was to...

who gives a hoot how many female presidents/prime-ministers there have been. how the hell is that indicative of the human rights enjoyed by women in the west? more dodging... i understand that for moderate arabs like you, the plight of women in islamic society (and yes it varies from...

so take that Babak! :D

TF, if YOU are gonna talk demcracy and civil rights, i would ask YOU to stop immediately. The arab world is the single biggest offender of human rights violations against its own people in the world. What else can you say about governments that deny the most basic of human rights to fully...

requiring a trading system to survive on an all in or all out basis misses the point of the impact of position size. the amount of size at any point in a trade is an integral part of the profitability of any trading style/system (whether or not this is realised), not something to be considered...

wow, talk about different opinions. 10pts too narrow a corridor? Man, that's nigh on full fledged trend to me! (j/k but u get the point) :)

yes that's right. to hold a little longer on the short skirts strategy. did you really give an honest effort in applying this? i'm not sure that you did. and that's part of the problem. if indeed this strategy does have a long term positive expectancy (post a link to it if you can...

aphie, i'm not sure which part of the following sentence you don't grasp: the stockmarket not being a ZSG doesn't mean that there are NO losers, only that the total amount of money lost doesn't equal the total amount of money won.
