Seems the mortgage world is back into, "Approve anyone who can fog a mirror. We'll make the fees up front and hang defaults on the tax payer."

"...the German government is actually giving refugees three weeks paid vacations INCLUDING airfare BACK to the very countries that claim they are fleeing because it is unsafe..." https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-08-03/german-government-paying-refugees-return-home-3-week-vacation...

Could only occur if the broker does something hugely illegal. No "insurance" against that.

If it's a sad story, I don't want to know.

LOL! Doubt it. All the years you traded Forex....I thought by now you'd have it nailed down. Yet you post about trying to scalp the ES for puny tics? What's the deal?

Take Friday off just because "it's not a good day for trading"? Riduculous notion... but if you just want to take a long weekend or play golf, that's diff. As traders, our objective is to have our risk positiion "in tune" with the market's buying and selling as best we can. Any day can be...

I don't think my "conspiracy theory" is at all crazed. It's my current working hypothesis until shown otherwise. If one bothers to think about it, all of the pieces could fit into that mosaic.

Since the announcement of The Patriot Act, especially so soon after 9/11, I've suspected the twin towers attacks to be an "inside job" in one form or another. Has all of the warring in the ME been a false flag too? Bush gets the ball rolling with his warring in Iraq on false pretenses...

"...Migrants in France are protesting against the free food provided to them and the fact they're expect to work in exchange for shelter, according to French media..." "... We were told they're fleeing war but NO, they're just fleeing WORK..."...

You mean... besides (1) "buy low, sell high", (2) "buy high, sell higher", (3) "sell low, buy lower".... there are at least 297 "other" strategies??

Well, sure. Even a blind dog can find a bone sometimes*. The challenge is to be "successful over time". *Back in the days when I traded mutual funds in the US Investing Championships, there was one firm who made ~100% one year (by loading up on gold and Hong Kong shares) to snatch that year's...

Years ago I thought of 20%/year as a baseline norm of good trading. But as interest rates have declined and the Fed "has had the market's back... fighting every decline tooth-and-nail", the 20% standard is forced lower. ("Reasonable volatility" is an asset to market players, you know.) 20% in...

Socialism isn't "making a comeback"... it never left. Since the beginning of mankind, there have been those who seek power over others with the enticement, "vote for me, and I'll take money from others and give it to you". Fortunately, America's genius founders knew better. Hard to resist...

Let me say it another way.... You're right... they can't all become "unlucky" at the same time. More likely, the money managers who have been falling off over the last 10 years were really just "no talent hacks" who had no business racking up impressive gains in the first place... IOW, they...

Simple. Most were more fortunate than smart. Easy to confuse brains with a bull market.

Statistically not true for any financial vehicle or asset class, including futures.

In the TV series, "Everybody Hates Chris" (clever sitcom, BTW, and my favorite black family sitcom), Rochelle who sometimes works part-time, is quick to quit her job at the least annoyance... always saying something like, "I don't have to put up with this... my husband got 2 jobs".

It seems "that's all you got". Therefore, as you have nothing to add to discussions on trading, I'm putting you ON IGNORE!!

Difficult to have confidence in ANY number the government puts out. Everything is "massaged" to make the government look good or achieve a selfish, nefarious goal.

You may have occasional years of making 60%, but that's not going to be the norm. Set your sights on learning to earn 20%/year while protecting capital. Do that and you'll eventually have all the money you ever wanted. (Odds are you won't succeed, but is a worthwhile goal.)
