No, my message was not intended to you ! I was speaking on a general way.

Personally, I don't agree. Neither intellectually is not easy. Just use common sense people! The "effect" of being successful in trading equal large amount of profits! (not right from the begin when you become successful trader, but after a while...) Now, > large amount of profits is...

Yes, trading is NOT easy at all !! Is very hard to keep the drawdowns low and make some nice profits. This concept "KISS" is for... newbies(no offence!). It takes a very deep understanding of the markets. And to be successful you need a very complex thinking. So, drop the "KISS" and...

Is just me or there is something so strange that it's unbelievable the amount of BS is promoted. Last summer/two years.

bill, I was referring to your post "It takes the average person more than 7 years to become..." And yes, I'm profitable(but it's ok if you think the otherwise, again, it's not my business to make you think something.) actually I'm building my track record for a few private investors. So I...

oh, you weren't jocking with that 7 years. Sorry, my previous post was sarcastic.:) I'm not trying to start a debate here but, those who posted here and really don't want to have any doubts about their trend lines(and say that they offer a real edge) and so one... ..., ask yourself a...

Ok guys, you are right. I will go back to drawing board and I will wait a few more years. Have a nice weekend and all the best.:)

No, this was not the message that I wanted to send. :) First of all, let's clarify: I don't say that the market is random all the time. Actually I believe that it does have moments when is not random. I trade based on macroeconomic analysis. (So, I don't trade stocks > I don't need inside...

But this make me to question the validity of different technical analysis patterns that many 'traders' are using it. My conclusion is that from this type of TA, you can't extract an edge if you rely only on TA. (ps: I trade fundam.) Yes, I agree. There is no such thing as a "true" rand...

Hello I made a random generator number in excel (range between -1% and +1%) and then I summed up this numbers range starting from a value of 1000. The result? Trends in random data. Isn't weird? I attached a graph example generated by the random gen. function in excel and the excel file.

The right question: Is gambling having a classic business(restaurant, kinder garden,etc)?

The latest Germany figures are above expectation. PMI, IFO. I don't think that EZ will implement any QE2 in the near term. (this is for my question above). Germany is going up big, at least for now.

Maybe I will also start a career in acting, because I'm very skilled, indeed, if I became a profitable trader, then, becoming an actor it will be piece of cake, isn't? Really, I'm very proud of me. :-) regards.

Probably the ECB will soon follow the FED and will become more dovish(maybe the idea of a second QE). What do you think?

oh, sorry, I didn't pay full attention when I read your thread. I thought that 100% is your target. Good luck and keep us up to date, I'm also looking into the near future to start something like this. regards.

IMO, 2 years in this business is not enough. When the market conditions will change (and they will change!) you should be prepared for big drw downs. From your returns I see that your target is quite high (100% returns/year) this is way too much. Why do I say this? Simple, because of the risk...

What a joke... . How is that 1:1000 leverage is going to help me on the LONG TERM ? I rarely exceed a real leverage of 1:15, and even then I'm very careful at my VaR. If someone use a big leverage, the FAT TAILS which are IMPOSSIBLE to avoid on the market will kill them in NO time...

I mean, let's say that I already built some long positions (normal long positions on the market) and instead of using stop losses for this long positions, I would like to use options. For e.g. , delta-gamma neutral strategy, could be a solution? Or I'm way off reality... .

Hello, I'm very new into options trading, my knowledge on this type of trading is very limited so I would like to know a few things. If I'm a a trend follower and I would like to use options as a stop loss, what type/what combinations /methods of options should I use? Just point me in the...
