    Economic self-education

    Thanks trefoil, Technical Analysis certainly has its place in my short-term trading... but when I think about strategic decisions like inflation hedges, solid economics lights my path.

    buying a computer for day trading

    Boli, Routing is not the most common application of two ethernet ports on a server... typically this is used in a public / private network situation... such as having a server with one port facing the internet and the other facing the inside of a network. Routing *could* be enabled in the...

    Economic self-education

    As a lifetime engineer, I'm sometimes confused by real and potential economic developments... for example, let's suppose the Fed starts publicly leaning closer and closer to QE2... that would drive the markets to react... but I don't understand how they should be expected to react when the US is...

    Travel Trading Setup... How to move monitors?

    I can think of nothing more miserable than being stuck visiting relatives in North Dakota for two-weeks with little else to do than listen to the old-ladies tell you the same stories they have for years. Regarding netbooks... When was the last time you successfully traded using three 12"...

    Travel Trading Setup... How to move monitors?

    ES Journal Archive (2009 - 2010)

    Sounds good in theory, but economics works against it... more competition for the same entry and exit means the entry prices get pushed higher and the exits are more fickle and jumpy. This also discounts the reality that she will feel the pressure of 100s of people depending on her for trade...

    Profiting Daily on the ES

    Forgot to mention two concepts to save your capital and your victim ("partner")... * Ten years of backtesting ES... * At least several months of paper trading a live acct using your rules. I don't think you want a partner... you want a victim who is naive enough to trust you with money.

    Profiting Daily on the ES

    I personally think capital is the most powerful qualification for being a successful trader... closely followed by mindset and discipline... however, you need less talent if you're well-capitalized... So, if your system is so great, why not continue turning 2k into 20k? 20k into 400k... and...

    Same vehicle, Same Strategy, every month

    Hi Mayhem, I spent some time evaluating IC spread strategies in terms of how they respond to increases in volatility and the impact of volatility on profits... honestly, I'm not sold... especially in a market as wild as this... ICs are rather expensive, complicated and the gains are highly...

    What's this rumor that the Fed will buy $1 trillion in US bonds before midterm elec.

    Bone, Perhaps I have misunderstood your argument... if not, I must respectfully disagree with the idea that our economic invincibility is eternal... we're becoming just like every other major military power that crumbled under it's own bloated debt... where are the English, Spanish, Dutch or...
