    Brazilian President Lula warmly received Iranian President Ahmadinejad

    Is this the same just and balanced Iran that stole the election, is executing and imprisoning their own countrymen who complained about the stolen election, and is basically muzzling any dissent? Yes, why should we fear such a govt with nuclear weapons?

    recomend a good optioncourse

    It is highly unlikely you will find one that gives you an edge. Better as above, find freebies on the web, and learn all the aspects - greeks, writing vs. buying, slippage, broker, etc. But you are most likely to find out after a few years of this, you did not make money I would avoid...

    How to judge a system ?

    stops are more about avoiding catastrophic losses. It is more critical to protect trading capital than it is to pursue profits. Testing stop loss sizes should: 1) Try and make all trades in your sample about the same size. 2) Consider a volatility component (ATR, whatever) - reducing...

    Trend Harmony , Updated Results

    3 errors here. You forgot the period after "know." Also, you do not capitalize a word after a comma: "Lol, Upon..." Thirdly, you put LOL into mixed case "Lol."

    How to judge a system ?

    Like any system someone would want to consider buying - get it audited. Depending in what it trades, you can put it on Timertrac, FuturesTruth, collective2, theta research, or other places, free or pay, and you can see how it does with r4eal data. Timertrac is free, C2 is about $100 every 6...

    Beware, it's quite easy to fake p/l reports

    why bother to allow someone who wants to post reports to actually have verifiation rather that anyone taking seriously the unsubstantiated blotters and self-reports? Go up to the title of this thread and read it.
