FS, I do like the cut of your jib Can I make money being “always in the market” – nope (does that mean it can’t be done certainly not) However when it comes to all matters trading related – I suspend all beliefs, and take up residence in Missouri (although I do try to have...

TZ, If you’ll permit me Sir…. FS, Claims to be “always” in the market, Claims to be “always” on the right side of the market No use of stop losses/ or risk management (obviously because of above) Admittedly I am not the smartest apple in the bunch by a...

Ahhh but.... It is fact – one can consider a prostitute a lover – if one loves her It is also fact – the reason (its very essence) for failure and success emanates from the "exact" same source Thusly I shall hold that they are very intimately connected… (you see I’ve made the...

PA, Knowing how to use leverage is important… but you are forgetting one small detail Sir No one will ever know / or can guarantee which trade(s) “will” work….. So you can use all that mighty leverage you wish – but it may very well bite you square in the ass No trader...
