You should do some calculations though if it's optimal usage of capital. May happen that taking some losses being cut short and riding winners, all on higher leverage eventually produces fatter bottom line. One shouldn't be afraid of tactical retreats if they are part of the good plan, it's...

IMO signal service is inferior way to trade while shifting risk from your own account. OPM management is much more effective if you're confident about the profits. If selling signals you're left with the flat fee doesn't matter how big your client trades. She/he may be making 6 figures per...

Ah in this classic sense. Certainly not my case. My average losses are smaller than average winners.

I am glad we think alike, that adds objectivity to the judgements. :)

R:R >1 in the sense that all account is at risk whenever a trade it made?

That way of analysis is an illusion in my view, because early entry doesn't mean 5M signal happens at all. Not to say something's wrong about it, used to trade 1M within 5M context myself, just a bit more relaxed since then. :)

I may be wrong, but myself always preferred to use time-frames which are most widely known and used like 5M and 15M intra-day. The more eyes I know see the same thing as I am the more likely I read the market correctly.

Just walk more hours if you can't. Walking (especially on the soft natural surface) is probably the most normal physical activity for a human and thus the most valuable for health.

Speaking of "vol". FX options are meant as vehicles to trade volatility?

Hmm... never thought about it. And his driving story reminds me of Russia... must be hacked by some Russian. :D

Well, there is positive and there is positive. :)

Why drop what works? :)

ET is very addictive. :D

I've never traded with them myself as I switched back to SIFs from FX. Cvds16 trades through them for quite some time already, think he can share experience.

Right, @ IB it's pretty often 0.5

Already mentioned here Dukascopy has average Euro spread of 0.4 and has moderate requirements.

Not too much to look there as I don't have plans of making money off that. Rather just bits of stuff and rants when I'm in the mood. :)

Depends on one's personal preferences. From longer-term investment in stocks maybe using some highly reliable account with someone like IB to real-estate or some business venture to savings account.

Sounds like distinction between slow trend and fast trend only. But still a trend. :)
