Jim rogers thinks farmers will be rich in the next 20 years as we get back to "producing" instead of "servicing" . Hope he's right.

Dang it missed the move, none of my buy limits got filled in Fridays range but at least I'm still an ET billionaire.:cool:

And JPM saying cliff risk is overblown. 50 % of the time they are right every the time. :)

Consider a 20 pip stop gets hit . With a 1 pip spread thats 5% of that trade going to the house. 10 pip stop 10% goes to house. Make sure your system is robust enough to cover the cost of doing business on small timeframes . Otherwise your broker is the only winner. Good trading to...

Just bought 10 boxes for a mill last night. I need to stop getting high. :p

No single part of a trading plan such as Pattern signal is "that important" in the scheme of the whole plan It has to be combined with exit , mm , and about 20 other things part of a complete trading plan. I like to keep my eye on a few subsets of Hammers and thought I would point out the...

Bull Hammers put in on Day charts for nq, es, tf. Gold 4 hour bull hammer too.

My parents both worked at USPS their whole lives . Surprised either one of them didn't go postal with all the stories about how poorly run that place was. I suppose it variess by location a bit but still . Supervisers were basically paid to babysit and say " no talking while sorting mail"...

EUR/USD Daily Double Top retesting the "ice"

Since the start of this journal, How many trades have you taken and what percentage of your profit has gone to costs, spread and/or commission? I'd be interested to know based on the smaller TF's you use. I would calculate it out if you haven't already. It's good to be aware of...

Yes you are correct this is the bottom. Buy on full margin. p.s. I'm from the future. :cool:

I've thought about this scenario too. I think for a lot of methods, scaling out smoothes out the equity curve and makes it psychologically easier to trade but isn't necessarily optimized for profit. I've gone back and forth with this issue more than once in my trading. Interesting topic indeed!

In futures or forex ..... "you can only profit to the extent the other side is willing to lose" If you think about it..... E=mc squared.......everything is zero sum.

oldtime, At what percentage of draw down do you have to change your depends? 10% 20% 30% more? Just worried it's on its way? You've been around long enough to know the next drawdown is on it's way. I guess the " I finally made it" feeling in this business is rare during a draw down...

I usually get 6-8 hours of sleep a day. Time of day for sleeping can get spotty if I stay up late/wake up early to trade euro session. Then I end up taking naps during low volume periods. I don't suspect I'll be able to do this as freely when I have kids and a "time structure". lol One...

Just called Fox, CNN, ABC, and NBC.

Why would you come here and ask people you don't know ? They could be half retarded or amazing at trading and it would be hard for you to tell as a noob. Talk to someone you know for sure has been in the biz for years like your friend. There are gems here but you have to be experienced and...
