    Up $1,300,000 Then Lost It All

    Poor racoon :( RIP Could be legit. Why not? Doubt though one would make enough for that superyacht at the end of the vid with that attitude. BTW Palmer Johnson yacht builders (USA) went bankrupt a few months back.

    THE CHIEF DEFICIENCY OF ACTIVE PEOPLE - Nietzsche

    Ooooh. Such statement here! Among mostly introverts, obsessed maniacs. You must be looking for trouble! :D And besides was it not instead that Nietzsche himself had too much free time on his hands?

    Trading without depositing all funds to a broker

    :) I do that. In a way. I consider it psychologically helpful even though there's the risk of making the attitude towards losses too cavalier, in the absence of a strict trading system approach (that's me). More practically it also has the advantage of protecting your capital from extraordinary...

    Week 8; Bust Week 9; 0.92 Week 8 I was caught off guard by the extent of the down move. I was lightweight long at the top and expecting small retr. and resumption. The retr. came more impulsive than anticipated. I was slightly panicky in stopping and overzelous in reversing and caught oversized...

    The margins were raised because rumors said US markets were to go down sharply... which is why they spiked up LOL Lots of stops to run. The essence of the game. :D

    Is trading Futures gambling?

    If you understand trading you may be trading. If you are trading based on carefully considered strategies you are a gambler. If you don't know what you are doing you are a fool.

    Instaforex does not process withdrawals

    It's a shame you now can't even try to trade your money out using a parallel counter trades account. Regarding them and how they can get away with such blatant illegal practices, given everything and possible scenarios, one should consider the possibility that the entire operation is connected...

    Week 7; 2.06 It's Thursday but I'm closing now. I'm exhausted. The account swinged between 0.52 to 2.1. I learned a lot. Monday. Don't even remember what I did. Lost a little. Timing was off. Tuesday. Got chopped in range while trying to position for the up swing due. Account massively hit...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I found "The Obvious" to be awe inspiring and beautiful and disquieting.

    Why does anyone take technical analysis seriously?

    I'm sure that would happen on some randomly generated chart. About on 50% of them.

    We could possibly be in late 1983-1984.

    Interesting. Paul Tudor Jones also gave consideration to analogies between chart periods decades apart. Of course in this time and age, with the diffusion of such an approach it is doubtful any simple correlation could be maintained or persist in the face of the opportunities for anticipating...

    Welcome to the Fermi paradox

    Enrico Fermi was a major nuclear physicist, laying the foundations for the subsequent developments. That is what he is famous for. His question "Where's everybody?" popularized by Kaku, and the relative argumentation, is interesting too. Got me thinking that probably there really aren't that...

    Do I need a Bloomberg Terminal to Trade Better?

    Your point being? What does it have to do with the thread title? You are saying you are really good and you want to help people but can't share the details openly because there are people with disagreeable attitudes. So you are posting to manifest your frustration with the Internet forum...
