    Spouses can be tough on a trader if you don't have their full support...they are tougher than some topsteptrader combine. When I met my spouse...she was living in a different country. We started a long distance relationship and would take vacations to several different ski resorts each year...

    dom trading

    Due to algorithms...in my opinion trading via the DOM (depth of market or market depth) is no longer adequate. I hear people once in awhile talk about the DOM but I haven't met anyone in about 5 years that actually uses the DOM to help improve their entries or exits. I'm sure there's some...

    Shkreli at court

I had two years of typing class in high school. The...

    Is it possible that an edge/pattern that has worked since the beginning of time?

    Movie Theaters closing like mad - Hollywood in trouble?

    I've seen the difference between movie theaters from one city to another and from one country to another.
