    India unveils $30 laptop

    This is totally a joke. There is ABSOLUTELY NO way that they can make such computer at $35 in NEAR future. The LCD panel, 2G Ram, wifi chip,cpu, solar parts will cost several times of $35. I am just shocked how shameful that sibal guy is.

    65 million flats in China are vacant

    I saw this same "report" 8-9 months ago on some chinese web sites /blogs. I can say it is completely false information without any facts to back it up. The best way to find out is to go to big cities in China and have a feeling about it. maybe 1-2 million flats are vacant in whole china, but...

    what's the common approach to develop an edge(if there is any)?

    for example, I look at charts, and found and back tested, if price move up and down too much , statistically speaking, there is high prob. of pull back. this is my edge. however there is not much such trading opportunity, maybe only once a week. some people do trend following, some trade on...

    reasons for big loss?

    for day trading, I know loss is unavoidable. even if you have a high winning odds(let's say 60%),the probability says there is still 1% chance that you lose five trades in a row. 1% is small, but it is still not rare. if you are over leveraged, the draw down could kill you. This is why Kelly...

    why Price Support and resistance is hardly random?

    at a given time, it is very hard to predict where next move is heading. However the support/resistance level is not that hard to predict. Once price level breaks out, the move is very strong, at least for a short period of time. what are the reasons behind that?

    Day Traders: Losing Days

    Nodoji, thank you for the thread. I am just starting day trading. I have all above said problems. I think there are something you can do. 1)for #6, you can automatically place stop and profit target limit order once entry is filled. this will help you a lot. 2)Write down rules and read aloud...

    The fact that over 95% people failed trading doesn't bother me at all

    50% of the wanna be "traders" don't know how to calculate volatility and simple probability. The 50% who do know, 50% of them either don't have any risk management or have any discipline, 30% of them are not emotionally stable. so if you don't have such problem, that puts you in the top of...

    why people bad mouth mean reversion strategies?

    Most people say trend following works better because you could potentially catch big trend even winning odds might be lower than 50%. However it is not that easy to catch the trend even your bet is right. quite simply, along the trend you could be stopped out if you use trailing stop. On...

    Trailing Stops

    I have the same issue. I realized that if you are intra day trader, you cannot afford wide stop. so what I do is once the trade is profitable, observe the price movement, if the trend is still very strong, then you can widen your profit taken target and at the same time decrease your stop level...
