    Why Do People Trade when the Failure Rate is So High?

    Indeed, it is a brilliant question. Forgive me, but I believe you were criticizing me for not seeing how you develop your courageous theories using facts, reason, and research. Economists may be too afraid to ask these questions, but thankfully you are not, so for the benefit of the rest of us...

    Why Do People Trade when the Failure Rate is So High?

    Oh yes, yes, facts, reason and research. All right I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Let's nail down your argument then to demonstrate your shining beacon of reason where econimists have failed. First, am I right in assuming you believe there is an indirect relationship between women...

    Questions to ask recruiters at Prop Firms

    I mean this with absolutely no malice whatsoever, as I respect you guys and I think you are THE firm to go to for training. If I met a serious potential trainee <i>who has the capital to burn</i> I would suggest you guys over everyone else. But everyone in the standard prop situation knows...

    Why Do People Trade when the Failure Rate is So High?

    Yeah, misogyny apparently is in again, hooray, but it's rare to see it so flagrantly displayed without even a veneer of intelligence to hide it.

    Why Do People Trade when the Failure Rate is So High?

    I'd say that this trend toward less liberty and greater consolidation of power in the hands of the few is going to continue in every technologically advanced country, regardless of the political party in power. The more citizens of any country become categorized and monitored -- whether it...

    Well done on consolidating that info, Don. I'm sure a lot of other traders along with me appreciate it.

    Rising wedge in SPX?

    I'm surprised I am the only one pointing this out. A rising wedge is a continuation pattern. Continuation patterns require a previous trend or at least a solid momentum run. 1. The month of May has hardly been a definitive show of bearish dominance. 50 pts. at most, which is not all...

    Why Cuba Human Development is high?

    Really. England and America have the highest rates of alcoholism and alcohol consumption when compared to the rest of Europe (but yet Americans don't live as long as the English). Anyway, this is irrelevant. You could offer arguments against, say, universal healthcare based on projected...

    Why Cuba Human Development is high?

    I couldn't care less about Cuba personally, as I said it would be ironic if even their health care is better than that of the U.S. Europeans for instance live longer, die less of cancer, and are generally happier according to a broad set of statistical measures. But of course, Europeans...

    Why Cuba Human Development is high?

    Adorable! Better yet, whip out pictures of executed Chinese prisoners and recite the names of the millions of souls who died during glorious 5 year plans. For best effect, do it when discussing the estate tax.

    Why Cuba Human Development is high?

    Yes, believing there's a basis for a critique of U.S. healthcare by contrasting its IMR with the rest of the developed world equates to worshipping Che and being a dirty communist. I suppose then the opposite position is to be a sexually repressed, McCarthyite, freedom fry-chomping Mormon who...

    Why Cuba Human Development is high?

    Note though that the entire developed world is below the U.S. It's telling that the U.S. has worse health care than even some developing, communist, and post-communist countries. Data like this tends to be a thorn in the side of the more dogmatic ideologues.

    Why Cuba Human Development is high?

    Wouldn't it be ironic if even their infant mortality rate is lower than ours?

    For those that make 4 or 5 grand a day net

    Did you change firms? Noticed your diff P&L img. A while back you mentioned before wanting to try futures for the liquidity. Wondering if you're giving that a shot now. I still know very little about futures. I hope to learn about them as much as possible in time for the sake of possible...

    If I remember right, I think lescor dabbled very successfully with that strategy, among others.

    Right on, though at a unique point in each instrument the most important part is sufficient liquidity. That overrides any sizing scheme.

    Heh, actually Maverick probably was as old as that car's lifespan at the time you were driving it.

    Great prop shops for an experienced trader

    Really? Damn. My pattern recognition skills are going. It's the overnight leverage, managing OPM, and subtly jabbing Don Bright similarity in commenting habits you and he have in common. And March 2002 registration.
