Happy weekend, guys

Just a little experiment. I opened a live $300 account and will try to grow it as far as I possible can without crazy risk. In this thread I will post just my weekly PnL, the strategy or system is not going to be posted (so, no charts) because I don't see the point whatsoever in posting my...

Totally agree with you, mate, theoretically speaking this is the truth. I believe you are right. Interesting topic, do you think it actually makes any difference on the real world ? Let me explain myself, while futures and forex markets are a zero sum game or even negative sum game if...

Im interested to know why do you consider a zero-sum game as a con? Could you please explain me your perspective in this point? I agree forex and futures are zero-sum game because for me to make 1$ there has to be somebody losing that same 1$ out there in the other part of my trade. In theory...

Thank you very much, will check it out asap. :) Warm regards,

How are you doing in this "job" right now, mate? Just curious as I am from Mexico and there are some similar things about this topic between Brazil and Mexico. Regards

Very interesting, thanks for this mate. Cheers :)

Yes, a hedge fund trader once told me that he could move EURUSD 2 or 3 pips for about 50 MM in low trading activity sessions or times , I don't know if this could be true or not as I have not experienced this myself. I am talking more of a longer moves, like shaking out of weak hands. In the...

Interesting to know why you think there is a 99 per cent probability to be a loser when trading your own account. Perhaps because of a lot of retail traders are undercapitalized:confused: Very interesting, thanks for this

Thanks, yes. I actually been thinking about this since 2009. Thinking about what nice it could be trading for a living. I am 100 per cent confident with my skills although I like to remain humble and open minded to try to keep learning everyday. About stable income, I could get stable income...

Very wise advice, thank you very much. Will have this in consideration very deeply.

Ah, I get your perspective now. You are totally right. With this being said I believe I did not made myself clear when I wrote ''Crazy leverage''. Let me rephrase that: I meant crazy leverage offered by the brokers when you open an account . I have seen brokers offering up to 1:500 . That is...

Not a friend of mine but... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Maguire_(whistleblower)

It can alse be a way to go from a little account to a big one in less time :) Depending on the trader skills and goals, of course

Very interesting to read your thoughts on this. I honestly don't agree with you. I suppose there are more than 1 ''schools of thought'' about the leverage issue :confused: let say you deposit 1k USD. Having a leverage of 100:1 will allow you to control 100 k in a trade (ex . 1 lot on EURUSD)...

Thanks for the kind words :) I learned English in high school but I honestly kept learning more and more in trading forums, I was a regular in informedtrades.com back in 2009 Totally true, I like to think that speculation is an art and the "artist" is an always student of the market. Even...

Thanks mate for the awesome links! Yes, I agree with you, but what do you do if you love this "game" so much? Don't want to get to a point where I just "won't have any time for my personal trading"

I was meant to say "in the investment banking industry" , here in Mexico you have to start from the bottom and work your way up. I am talking maybe a newbie position or an internship

Very nice advice, thanks! Like you said, I could trade my own account on the side (basically just going from day trading to swing trading). I would need to test my strategy on longer-term charts though. Thanks!
