There are some awesome blogs posted there! I am a frequent visitor to some of them. Generally, I think retaildaytrader is correct, BUT some blogs offer an interesting perspective, and allow you to find information that you would not otherwise scan. I used to run a blog that described where put...

on a slightly side note, does anyone actually have an offshore account in cayman/bahamas or bermuda? i am considering opening a trading account somewhere there, probably cayman, and actually trading that fund. Later on in a few years actually moving there to live permananently (from Australia)...

Interesting post. I am very much on the same page. How would you trade this though? I get the feeling the debt issue will come in a few years, no?

I found the key to the markets from reading this thread. Markets never, ever, need to correct. When financials rally 400% or whatever they did, that is not great. That is normal. Why can't they go 1000 bazillion? Four things I will say: 1. Historically, the bear dies in October 2. The...

well i originally had a 20k loan that i lost on shares, so when i say i had money to lose, i figured i'd earn it back later. anyhow. i sent you a statement before you were banned on t2w. i really dont have effort anymore. its not like it really changes anything. i use several indicators to...

just to deflate your head a little, i started with a 500 dollar account in july, i now have made over 80k. its not the end of september yet. :p im not saying that what you did is pretty impressive, im just saying it can be done with massive leverage. as long as you have the funds to lose and the...

irrational markets are good trades. i dont think you should get out. just cut down on the size. if you lose with the cutdown, you should stop until you get your eye in... but whatever. different for everyone..

he said 200% return. 100% return is doubling your money. 200% is quading it. :P retard :p jok

ok just so you know euro and aud really arent correlating that much. lately they are correlating against the greenback, because the greenback is rising. however if they were perfectly correlated then eur/aud would not move at all. but in any case. congrats on a good trade.

i think he understood what you meant. he just thought it was "pointless". anyhow, calm down.

trading cash has its advantages. even if the result is "screwing the pooch". some people cant do it. the simulator i mean ;)

you went long usd vs aud? thats a ballsy trade. im expecting aud to rise long term. although the local government cant run the economy...

is there a grieving widow in that story somewhere that you have failed to mention? all sad stories have grieving widows

i blew up twice. bad trade. very bad trade. i think a lot of guys have blown up at least once. first one was a naive blind 19 year old trade in october when i borrowed 20k and invested in 3 stocks. here i thought id do the whole analysis they teach at uni and make a little money on the side...

lmao...

guys get over yourselves. just because the guy has no idea about risk management does not mean that you should mock him when he has suffered a massive drawdown. winning in the markets is hard as is, and i think its harder to win in markets that are irrational, like oil over the last 2 months...

thought id quote something spanish said on the first page 08-15-08 08:55 AM I only trade crude oil futures.. Its the easiest thing to trade in my view, and the most lively. Fx bored me way way too much even just watching it, and indices were ok for starting practise, but not enough...

oh and spanish. if you work for a firm, you will have stoplosses. even if there isnt a set one on your trading, if you are down 25% in a day or so, your boss will approach you and you will silently leave. with your things.

generally depends how much risk would be taken. i ran 1500 up to 40k in 6 weeks. im currently down 10k on a position though. so i took quite a bit of risk. im starting to lay off the risk. the timing was great though for me. i knew exaclty what the markets were doing. at the moment its a little...

give it a shot. give everywhere a shot. you never know, someone may just take you onboard and teach you. maybe offer to work for free for a few months to proove your worth? see there are courses that span 3-5 years telling people all this theoretical stuff like markowitz portfolio management...
