CFA is not just to trade/manage others' money. It is also a desired skill for some kinds of jobs in the financial services industry that have nothing to do with OPM. As are Series 7 and other certs.

don't remember anyone asking about Surf Fest...

userID: sjonas50 has been on a "self-actualization" path leading up to his website as the answer. Read back about his last 7-8 posts and it will become clear. www.TxxxU.com

try that again: Usability - not making the users (many of whom are new to ET) wander around trying to perform a major function...

Don't know why this is news. 0.3% of its workers and about 0.1% of its stores. That is a rounding error...

could you put "Log Out" in a couple of more places? One has to wander around to figure out where it is. Obviously some people don't bother and just close browser, but if you are on a public computer or want to ensure you are logged out, would be nicer if it was on more central pages. For...

+5. This is about what I was going to say. Your chances of succeeding enough to make significant sums "safely" are less than 1%. And you will have the same chance of failure to fail as the other 99% no matter how clever or different you might think you are. Don't risk money. Get to the...

userID: Money read his last few posts, basically just pointers to his website.

which time interval? daily? hourly? 3 minute? I had occasionally used Freecharts.com ( http://freecharts.com/Commodities.aspx?page=mktcom is the main futures/commodities page.) There are a few others, but cannot remember at the moment.

Thoughts? Yes, how did it work out when you backtested hundreds of diverse trades using this method and tabulated the overall results in terms of profit factor, drawdown, etc. ??

Serious, profitable trading is hard enough without trying to make it "convenient." "Charting" and "trading" on your phone seems it is a fun hobby rather than a profession. Get a netbook (larger screen) or light notebook and a wireless internet plan (VZ or Sprint). At least it has SOME...

actually, "blah blah blah" is more nutritional than most of Jack's "technical writer's nighmare" rambles...

diversification can also means, different countries, multiple strategies, mixed long/short, dollar neutral, etc. etc.

why don't you elucidate your experience first?

What were your qualifications, again? :confused:

can always wait for his next "Yay, surf is great" alias to appear and ask him if he is going. It is like Surf Akbar (Surf is Great!) :D

+1. There was a lot of whining when welfare rules were changed. We had a lot of 3+ generations of welfare families. I prefer the biblical method - "those who do not work do not eat." Obviously, it was talking about able-bodied people, as it also defended helping the poor. My mother told...

Most of the responses miss the point. Having an opinion on stops, profit targets, B/E, trailing stops, scaling, etc. has no meaning Now, if you take YOUR past trades, and pump them all into a spreadsheet/whatever, adjust sizes of each, you will see how various money management methods...

This thought is exactly opposite to how legislators think. I do not see how this would change anything, how it would be expected they would reduce the rate, or how it would keep them from increasing the rates. And they certainly would never "attack the expense side." This is a fantasy...

We? Must be a heckuva tapeworm, Jack... :D
