Well, take a look at this old thread here to see what you're getting into: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36186&perpage=6&pagenumber=1 He has several associates who also seem to have lots of free time for wordy journals -- whether they are actually about trading...

They would survive a revaluation -- besides, where else is wal-mart going to get their merchandise? An equally mercantilist nation Japan prospered despite their yen going from 220 up to 100 to the dollar. It will be a one time shock, and who knows, all the pent up selling from foreign...

But think about it, what if China figures out that revaluation is actually something good for their economy as a whole, and that the US is continually nagging them to do it because they know China won't be pressured into it? Fun stuff.

Guys, this is Coinz you're talking about here. He takes no losses and just disappears for months at a time while he's under water. One of the more persistent shills for a certain forex broker, but hey, what trader wouldn't love never taking a loss. I suppose martingale would work if you...

Minutes of last fed meeting released this week? Day and time?

It's all a matter of how far you see the trade going before you get in. If you want to go for 100+ pips on your trades, you will likely give back alot of singles and doubles to get there; it may or may not be worth the sacrifice. I generally follow this rule for profit-taking: if there's any...

I am also looking into an 8400, but I don't even see an option for nvidia 6800 GTO (dual dvi is what I want). I do see the radeon x850 but it's $360 more than the 6800 -- are gto's not offered anymore?

Ok, so far I'm looking at the Dell 8400 3.2ghz with 1GB ddr2 ram, 80 gb hd. I will eventually be buying a pair of 19" planars, so is it a good idea that I opted for the cheapest video card (radeon x300) for now, and will look to add a dual-dvi card when monitors come in? Oh, and any need...

Thanks for the quick input. I'll definitely be getting a new machine, I can probably get by upgrading on this one but it's almost 5 yrs old now and ready to serve as backup. I would definitely want to install 2 dvi monitors, so the Nvidia card sounds good. I guess it wouldn't hurt to...

Um, those of you who just "opted out" -- were you sure it was an official yahoo site you linked to? Just checking. :)

Finally time to dump my ancient WinME setup for a decent machine. :) Few questions just to get started -- what's new that I should make sure to get (so I don't need another upgrade in say 18 months)? Is hyperthreading or dual processors even worth looking into? I am looking into possibly...

I think you mean a very shallow learning curve, you wiseapple you :p

I think the best way to get over the "hump" is to just flat out double or triple your size without thinking about it too much; wait patiently for a premium setup, but when it all lines up just go for it. It's like anything else after the first time, you'll be much more comfortable on subsequent...

Just some additional thoughts if you don't mind, trying to learn the game and seeing if I'm actually making any progress, shoot me down where needed please. I think the way you're supposed to think of it is that you must thin the field with AK pf and TPTK on the flop, or you'll just be...

It's too bad most of this stuff was first written in April -- of '04. And back then, with t-notes near the lows of the range, it was the forthcoming higher rates that would cause deflation. Now with bond markets around the world hitting new highs, it's a sure sign deflation is upon us . . ...

After raising flop, he check-raised all-in on the turn, so you probably must assume he has you beat at the moment -- reads aside, isn't it just a matter of how much you need to call vs the pot to catch that fourth spade? I'd put him on a set of 9's or QJs based on his pf call, and the...

I agree with your sentiment, but even comparing trading to running a typical business doesn't seem to do the market justice. I know a number of determined, hard-working entrepeneurs who've built multiple businesses from scratch who, after years and years in the market, still think of it...

Great, not a single person on these boards seems to want to be long ZN (see 10-yr notes today thread). I'm covering sunday nite :eek:
