Dax, thanks for the great article BTW. I forwarded it to some of my clients active in the art.

" Free Thinker " You start a thread under the 'Politics and Religion' forum, in fact label said thread in a derisory fashion towards citizens aligned with a particular political party not of your ilk, and then rapidly descend into personal attacks and vitriol against any member taking a...

Some feedback from one of my clients' first live trading days, a serious prospect could contact him independently as part of the due diligence process. Complete email text, and I quote: " Anyway, I finally traded today for the first time. Had a great day. 6 trades, 5 winners. +$3,575...

Funny that after you make all kinds of money, and you are currently litigating a lawsuit seeking more money, and that after you've made yours, then everybody else's money should be re-distributed for the common good...

The original premise by the OP and his ilk is that somehow the Democratic Party holds the moral high ground on tax code compliance and enforcement. To wit, look at the title of this thread. The other absurd arguement is that IRS enforcement action will yield a constant ROI in terms of the...

"What prevents them from becoming very rich is either their risk aversion (that is me) or their gambling style." Then by definition, to follow your logic into actual practive we must conclude that in order to find success in random noise requires the ability to endure drawdowns beyond your...

"in case you hadnt noticed the dems had their hands full dealing with other issues fighting the party of no. " Yes, indeed. The Dems had to deal with a severe economic recession (for which the case can be made had it's genesis during a Republican administration), and the Repubs had to deal...

Utterly Brilliant.

If Democrats were so fair, they had two full years of complete political domination in the Congressional and Executive Branches where they could have overhauled the tax code and made it more equitable. Charlie Rangel is an expert on the US tax code and he chairs the committee. Why can't...

"It is easy to exploit market randomness. This is what brokers and HFT do. Set up the game so that you extract a very small gain out of random motions. Then you always profit. " Not true. I know from direct first-hand experience that HFT's are abandoning the "shake" algorithm and other...

"So perhaps traders should look for markets where trends tend to be longer?" Winner, winner, chicken dinner. The next logical progression in the calculus is "of the markets that tend to trend longer, which ones demonstrate the least variance from the trendline during the lifetime of the...

"first bounce off trendline worked. Now on the second attempt we are under it according to your chart so why is it still intact ?" No, we need to take it out with successive daily closes and make some lower lows and lower highs. Then you have the technical right to call it a top. Look at...

Trendline channel is still intact - you will need take it out with some consecutive closes taking it out with a series of lower highs. We could be getting there, but not yet. You don't call macro-economic tops and corrections with intraday charts, shooters. And Ammo can't post a line chart...

"or, it just goes into factoring my normal US taxes only at the year end?" Eurex and Liffe/Euronext both have CFTC "no action" letters on file, which means you just use form 1256: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f6781.pdf Your broker will also provide a 1099-B to the IRS. So, if you're...

Well, Illinois is just a utopian nirvana for progressive Democrats. The entire government apparatus in Illinois has been completely dominated by the Democratic party. Illinois chose to address the 'revenue shortfall' by sharply raising taxes on individuals and corporations. Why...

No, I think that would be a terrible business idea and just plain unethical. In fact, IMO it would require a private prospectus offering and regulatory registration. I take no haircuts and have 'side-pocket' deals regarding brokerage or trading platforms or charting packages or anything else...

For all you "revenue shortfall" types who think the best course of action is to raise taxes on individuals and corporations, go Eff yourselves. Really. You already take half of what I make. And when I die, you want to take the rest of it. Such hypocrites. You had two years of complete...

RN = dead nuts on. Find consistency however you can. And there are different ways to do it, and you do not necessarily have to invent something 'new' or 'fresh' to find that consistency. And consistency does not necessarily require an ATS. If it is scalping using X and Y based on a...
