    The Coming Renationalization of Petrobras.

    SA ... I have only read the short version of what you are saying and so you may have already addressed my question. Why would the gov. want to mop-up the remaining 44% of the shares and be saddled with the management when they already have rententions at the pump domestically and at the...

    Multiple time frames....bad for me?

    gracias ST Since it is lunchtime I will ramble on for a bit. I am a firm believer in bending the odds as far as I can to my favour and that does not include giving away one pullback in every 4 or 5. By accepting this, a Trader is accepting a theoretical maximum accuracy in the order of...

    Multiple time frames....bad for me?

    CM69 I trade only one frame to save confusion.... my confusion that is. The price as we know travels in waves that travel inside waves that travel inside waves etc etc The use of a higher frame (wave) will commit you to misreading the last pullback (wave ) in every higher frame. You...

    Day-Trading 2.0 for small traders

    Maybe you guys are thinking too hard with the numbers and therefore are not following the price. The ES is lurching from level to level and in doing so it becomes momentarily unbalanced from time to time. This is your chance to fade the entry so that your entry and pro stop are within 3 tics...

    To use stops or not to use stops..

    Tyler, Perhaps the first issue to address is why you are trading Fx rather than a more regulated instrument. Should you move to futos, your question regarding stops should take care of itself. regards f9

    Trading for a living; only very few can

    The one and the only key is the sole desire to succeed in my experience. If you waltz into an unknown and very difficult arena with an analytical approach, you are denying yourself the killer mentality. If you can get away with it then well and good. regards f9

    Anti-Globalization Will "Eat Our Lunch"

    A good measure of demand might be to simply track the monthly number of TEU clearing US ports. If more and more manufacturing is leaving US soil (which it is) and the number of returning TEUs is dropping (which it is) then demand is dropping. Throw in intellectual outsourcing and the...

    What happened? (ES trade)

    BH, You are assuming that the OP is in the market. Mostly, I imagine these Posters are wasting their own time rather than losing money as they are yet to progress from their dreams into the real world. regards f9

    Trading for a living; only very few can

    What I believe the noble art of trading beyond a living requires of each of us is... firstly ... common sense .. who and what to trust. and then ... a sense of reality in that each of us must write the text book from which to learn. regards f9

    Why do 98% of traders fail???

    Why do 98% of traders fail??? Simply because they remain focused on the unimportant and wrong things for 98% of their time. This stems from bringing a closed mind full of incorrect preconceptions to the table. The markets will tell what is important. regards f9

    What do you think about my strategy?

    drasfs, "Bollinger bands: the price must have reached upper or lower level of the bollinger bands" "The price must be far away from the moving average" The price will be far away from ma if it has reached the bbands. "My biggest gripe with this strategy, is how to determine stop...
