    where have all the traders gone?

    Hello: Seems to me that a couple of things are at work (with regard to traders "leaving" the site). First, I think it is true that very few members actually trade. As we move further through this cycle, many of the wannabees have either lost their money, or are bleeding their accounts down...

    No/Low risk, low return option strategies?

    Really would be nice to hear someone just tell it like it is; Fact is, it is difficult if not impossible, for a retail trader to find a "no risk" options strategy. The opportunities to do so, appear briefly and are often "found" and arbed away by computer assisted professionals who know what...

    Excuse me: I am sure NihabaAshi does not require my assistance. However, I do want posters to take notice as follows; Nihaba is a long time member. If anyone took the time to read his posts, surely they would come to understand that his intention is to help traders along this difficult...

    Trading strategy

    When you buy 100 shares of General Motors, the shares are not sold to you by General Motors, they are sold by a person or a legal entity (corporation). I can assure you that they sold the shares because they wanted to. They had a reason. The reason is not important, only the result when YOU sell...

    Option replication and exotics journal

    Hello: Since there are usually several options for hedging, how do you make your choice. If you only consider direct hedge to a futures contract, what % do you allocate for cost of hedge. Are you using VAR, Riskmetrics, or another method of valuing risk? Thanks, Steve

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    Hi: In the comments that (presumably) you just read, I offer a suggestion as to how the ADX/DMI might be used. You will need to read and think about how it may work for you. It may not come to you right away. The problems with the ADX/DMI indicator as used by NYC-Hotshot have to do with...

    Look Reid, what the hell difference does it make if your money is gone. If you make a trade, you are buying or selling shares. The other side of that trade is an "entity". That entity is either a person, or a legal entity (like a corporation). Thats it. Thats how another person takes your...

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    Yes, I agree in principle with Dr. Elder, however part of the problem is the way that traders study charts. If you only look at a completed intraday chart, you will get used to seeing a fully developed signal and resulting move or failure. Seeing it on the right side of the chart you have no...

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    Yes, it is an interesting subject. When you say that it does not work on your charts, you are really saying that at this point in time, you cannot make it work. If you were to take a moment to understand how the indicator works, you might have a better chance of success. Ironically, the...

    Trading strategy

    Okay Simon, First it is too bad that you insist on trading. In my opinion you do not have enough experience to do this, and you may lose your money. I would suggest that you study the markets and learn more by observation. I am fifty four years old, and I used to play tennis very well. If...

    Market profile?

    In my experience "forex" is a scam. If you want to trade currency, you should try exchange traded contracts. IF you decide to do that, then yes, Market Profile works as well as anything else. Good luck, Steve
