From wiki He married his first wife, Netit (Nettie) Jordan of Indianapolis, at the age of 23 in October 1900. Less than a year later, he went broke after some reverses in his stock trading; for a new stake, he asked her to pawn the substantial collection of jewelry he had bought her, but she...

Many thanks Kirk. Yes they seem to fly under the radar.

Hi Murry, Thanks for the post. Yes the fellow I mentioned naturally uses charts. Perhaps you feel you are being clever with the word visualization? Witty? or half so? However it is important, I feel, to remember our part in manifest the conditions of our lives.

Good point. Also they are probably bright, hard-working and very persistent.

Hi CL, Well its a tough road but the potential is there. I suggest you stay with your job for the time being and read some books and practise with a sim account. Don't trade real money until you are consistently profitable for a month on one ES (that is if you trade ES - perhaps a...

Hi Marie, No I don't trade the news, myself. I have noticed on some FOMC days (when the market is anticipating and important announcement) you will get a whipsaw effect. That is if it jerks upward then it should spike down and then more slowly back up. However, I did read a book where...

From Larry Levin's daily email: The market is currently trying to decide which route it should take at the fork in the road. Should it be the “printing” route of hopium, or the “bank run” route that leads to a market decline? While we to see which path is chosen...

Yes oh course not his real name as I didn't want to post that. As noted above I think I have found my solution so the compromised of a USA based company is of no interest Thanks for your help.

Many thanks for your posts fellows. As I mentioned in passing I had by money stolen by the MFGlobal thieves and it cost me a lot. (See MF Global thread if you want the gory details! too painful.) So I will be happy as a clam never to ever trust my money to USA again. Over the weekend I...

Yes I think one creates a locked mindset as well. You may end up staying in a trade because you have stated publically where it is going to go.

Email text:------------------ Amp's reply from Jaaaaa: Currently Amp can only open accounts in Ontario and Alberta. From: ...@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 1:21 PM To: AMP - Jaaaaaaa Subject: accounts in BC, Canada Does AMP offer accounts in BC? Thank-you

By the way I do understand the difference between doing business and soliciting for business. And most of that is for securities - which are different than futures accounts.

Sorry for the confusion. I have only asked if they can open an account for me and they said no they cannot. They did not mention nor did I use the word "licence" in speaking with them. --------------------------------------------------------- This came from an prior conversation...

I can tell you see the world through grey colored glasses. Some people claim that being negative is only being realistic when it is simply being negative. It may be that visualization would not be useful for you in creating a positive outcome for yourself. Its always good to ask - is my...

Hi Kirk, Thank-you. I have contacted Globaltrading and it is also restricted to Alberta and Ontario. Most of the USA based firms with low margins I have contacted are not licenced in Canada. I used to have a US account with Linntrade and it cleared through MF Global. I was hurt...

The rest of the story is that he said one day it was true His wife came up and said the words he had imagined. His trading is (or at least was at that time - I am not in contact now ) going extremely well and he felt the positive visualization he had chosen for himself was a key to his...

There are so many factors that go into earnings. If one trader has a full time job, house paid off and investable cash of $250,000 and makes $2,000 for the month, that's nice but no big accomplishment. He's relaxed and +2,000 or -2,000 no big deal. Another trader has no job, only $2,500 in...

Many thanks. I have contacted AMP and they only are licenced for Alberta and Ontario. Good trading!

Congratulations on your success. I think I understand your question, putting your returns in percentages, is a way to avoid getting emotion about size? If so, I think you have a good idea. My thought would be to put your money management plan in terms of rules so that the rules tell...

I recently read a thread on anther forum called "risk of ruin" In spiritual thought the phrase is: "Results grow where attention grows" "What your visualize and believe will materialize" --- I have been reading N V Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking and finished the chapter...
