Just successfully installed it with Zen Fire connected. I cannot gt any orders to go through or and prices to show up besides the DOW. Incredibly annoying.

I wish you would realize that you overleveraged if your trade execution within a split second determines the annihilation of your account or not. Gold going up 5 points should not be capable of wiping half your account out. That is called over leveraging, realize that. If you are infact...

Is there a platform out there that does not have massive lag in a demo account? I'm currently trying out Think or Swim but the demo is lagged so far behind current prices its not funny. I have also heard it is slightly laggy with a live account too but I don't got any solid confirmation on...

Seems like you were clueless and playing with your own money. That would make you the guinea pig... They did not destroy your account either, that would be you leveraging your ass off in hopes of making $1 million in a 2 hour trade... that is what destroyed your account. If they didn't...

That depends on how he is using his 75%+. Unless you have some rock solid 100% reasoning as to why something is going to move and where, 75%+ of your total equity in one trade is absolutely stupid. It leaves nearly no room for even a slight move against you before your account is devastated...

I can guarentee you someone who is trading large enough to move the futures market significantly on an order is not stupid enough to place orders based on a specifically static strategy. He is not trading large because he is stupid... And the fact that it is the same "someone" each time is...

If you want tips on your 5 rules... Rule #2 has a problem in relation to the amount of leverage your using. You are using so much leverage that if you get slipped on a stop it could be, and most likely will be a loss many multiples of 2% total equity. Rule #3 Don't switch between long and...

Leveraging 40:1 is extremely risky especially in forex. With all the correlation and news in forex, just wait for news to hit when the price level is in range of your stop. You will get slipped enough so that 40:1 is a significant loss. Hell, 20 pips at your rate is $1000... on a $5000...

that's even worse... in terms of risk management.

a stop .0005 away... It's so obvious you're leveraging way beyond your means. Let me guess 200:1... maybe 400:1? Stop trading now. You will regret it otherwise. I'de put a short of 200,000 on your account if I could. Now that sounds like a winner.

2000 shares with $7000 total account equity... lol

An MBA in finance is great if you likely want to be a desk jockey at a bank. If you really want to trade, any money that is going to be used to finance a MBA is much better used getting yourself a successful 1 - 2 year trading log and getting into a prop firm to gain insight from other...

I made those statements because I can guarantee there are more successful traders to "black boxes". Just as your algorithms are created to take advantage of human behaviors there are human traders who will take advantage of other human behaviors too. It's a two way street, I just believe a...

If it's a "plan", it's just that... a plan. So I'll assume they are obligated to sell/but the shares on the future date....

I'm sorry to inform you that your account will likely be annihilated on that assumption. The US is gonna pull some sort of bullshit out of their ass to stop chaos like the from happening.

A "machine" will never trade as efficiently as a human for an extended period of time. Maybe in the year 2080 with all the supercomputers they will have around... All the "successful" automated trading system's account statements I've ever seen show massive draw downs beyond any normal...

Those charts are on crack...

Thanks for the info. Without reading anything, one more thing... Are these insiders obligated to sell/buy the shares on that date if it is already "planned"?

I saw some openly available info on Friday, 2/12 that showed a couple insiders sold shares on Tuesday 2/16. How does this make sense, seeing as it is not actually 2/16 yet and I saw this on 2/12... I am wondering does this is normal and does it occur occasionally? Maybe it's just a mix up...

I'm gonna be like Julius Caesar on this one... not gonna happen. This is not to say I don't believe there will be turmoil in 2010 that will drive markets down. But to say the markets are absolutely going to hell in a handbag and "everyone needs to run for the hills"... I'm not believing that...
