RN, None of what I wrote about has the slightest impact on my trading. When I say "I wonder" I meant it in the same sense as on the days I wonder if the blueberries at the corner store will be more ready to eat that the strawberries. I don't wonder much and probably should have been...

When you say HTF do you mean Higher Time Frame or did you mean to say HFT for High Frequency Traders? Also when you say "take you on" what do you mean and why would at (or even about) a 10 lot trigger that? Thanks.

Edmund de Rothschild once said "When the streets of Paris are running in blood, I buy". I have dual citizenship (US and UK -- by descent) and can live, with my wife, in any EEA country. The streets of Vaduz will not run red with blood under almost any circumstances and if that's where my ass...

In the day, when the specialist system was in full force, there was a book by Yale Hirsch ... Don't Sell Stocks on Monday: (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3771913-don-t-sell-stocks-on-monday A friend of mine, who was in a position to know, maintained that specialists tried to move...

In his seminal work, Democracy in America, de Tocqueville suggested that the "American Experiment" would likely end because politicians, realizing that votes are a commodity to be purchased with public funds, would simply spend us into ruin. He was right then and he remains right today. While...

I'm not sure I get the "rigged" concept as it relates to trading. It takes buying to move it up and selling to move it down. What the Fed does, what Congress does, whether the IMF makes a loan to Greece or Spain or doesn't ... all of these actions or inactions are just elements that investors...

Yes ... that's exactly where it comes from and it is ancient. That said, in Iron Mike's defense, it is unlikely he has read much military history and is probably not a plagarist!

If your strategy works in futures the numbers might make sense as a sraight retail customer.

As a scalper what is your typical profit target in CL?

Many seem to love Button Trader which works only with IB. It's been designed and optimized for that firm. Check out the strong (very strong) reviews here on ET.

I'm not pretending that I'm as able to do this anywhere near the extent I would like to but success in most areas of life, including trading,revolves around being able to Plan The Work And Work The Plan. It is so easy to admire the brilliant improvisations in life where people adjust on the...

This post might not be universally accurate but it is more than 90% true and very important. I'm testing a new approach to add into my mix and have recently gone live with it. I find myself hesitant to pull the trigger (not a common weakness for me), entering late and generally disjointed...

Solar without subsidy if it is truly economic is a game changer ... economically & politically.

She may well end up as a one hit wonder. She presents very well but her muni predictions ignored the fact that estimating how much longer the rot can hold together is very difficult. She put one year time frames on collapses that may take 10 years to unfold. There are numerous weak spots but...

I have never owned a bitcoin and until the CME accepts it as margin I probably will not buy even one. That said, my guess is the US Treasury or the Department of Justice will not get stiffed by them.

Can I turn the question around, ashantt? You clearly don't want to budget "5 years and 10,000 hours of screen time" so, if you will, give us a sense of what you are prepared to budget? It might not take you anywhere near that time. Othes have done it in three years and 5,000 hours of screen...

So you belive it is more like one in a thousand that succeed? I'd hate to see the intellectual capicity and work ethic in the bottom 900.

If I had wanted to say there was no chance I would not have said this: 3) Why would I count most guys who work full time and think they can do this from their job and even their cell phone? Maybe 3% of them can actually pull it off.

piyayo, talk to Bright Trading. Since I don't trade equities I have no first hand experience but they clear through Goldman, are very knowledgable, have a good reputation and can probably cut a deal with you that works for all. Whether there are geographic limitations -- I assume you are...
