So, if he wins a lot, he keeps it. But if he loses it, he wants a court to recompense his losses? Sounds like the TARP, bank, housing, auto bailouts and "incentives"

a newbie trades and blindly picks stops or avoids them and gets hammered a sophisticated trader TESTS their stops, in the same way they backtest, forward test, etc. their logic/edges. Something called Excel. You put ALL your trades into a spreadsheet, similarly size them, and test various...

You need to grasp the poster. This person most likely lives in a basement.

Given that the world runs on oil, is it a surprise of its size? And you have a replacement? Should we burn wood chips?

You have one post, and you are not even going to bother to mention who your shop is? A professional organization does not sneak around. Can you see InteractiveBrokers putting an anonymous post on ET to troll? Sounds like you are shopping to make a free email list on ET's dime... ===> ET...

it is amazing how people chase after beliefs rather than evidence...

as I said, HS grads make almost half the money, and have twice the unemployment rate. And a lot of those burger flippers, etc. are being done by teens and retirees, who have or WILL have college degrees. Dentists? Teachers? When did these people make HS grad list??? HS grads face a...

You don't need ANY licenses to trade futures. But rarely have I seen "Series 3" in job qualifications list. 7, 63, etc. yes...

I made the mistake of reading a few of Kill's posts. Seriously, this is a trading forum... If avoiding beef turns you into the type of SpongeBrain SquarePants as the thread starter/monger, I think we should give up vegetables. (don't worry, you will be on ignore before you think of another...

Almost everyone commits fraud or steals money to some degree. Ever break the speed limit? Ever help yourself to another soda out of the McDonald's fountain? ever stretch the truth even a little on your taxes? Ever steal anything when you were 3 years old, like a cookie from mom's kitchen...

In fact, a Mushroom is a lot more intelligent than you, in reality...

They actually let you in here, and POST? The entry standards have REALLY fallen low...

+10 !!! Studies pretty much shred classic Ta indicators and patterns (and fibs, and candlesticks and a lot of other stuff) - especially after considering trading costs. So what do the believers do? They attack the studies. They offer "I know someone who..." So the question is, where is...

Completely disagree. As someone above said, it the two he tried to teach quit in frustration This is a rotten path for newbies. 99+% are charlatans, the 1% are almost impossible to find, and a newbie will never know the difference. True edges are rarely transferred at a price a newbie can...

I would say your trading size should be based on volatility, rather than trying to predict false breakouts. No one knows the future well enough to know their occurrence reliably in the future. Also, what does your recent history tell you? If in a drawdown, it is wise to reduce your size...
