Sorry, I just saw this thread today after getting the weekly "Most Popular New Threads" e-mail. I thought I'd just clarify my philosophy... I do like simple strategies, and a lot of that is because simple strategies are harder to curvefit. Fitting a strategy to past data is the biggest...

Do you find the advice still applicable to today's markets? That would be pretty cool, after 30+ years...

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!

Honestly, its the book I wish I had when I was in my teens, or even my 20s. I could have invested my stock boy earnings instead of buying a Fender Stratocaster!

Thanks for the kind words SimpleMeLike. I appreciate it! I don't really talk about swing trading in this book. It is more of an investing book, as opposed to an active trading book. There is a chapter on algo trading, which would include swing trading, but that is more of a "taste" than an...

Thanks for the comment. I consider ETFs to be part of the stock market, and I agree that many people should just stick with those (an ETF portfolio is what I suggest in book for someone with not much time for investing). For example, with your concerns on aging and a competitor on the horizon...

Thanks for the kind words, Tom. I appreciate it!

Thanks for the question. I'll explain... This book started off with an idea: "how do I teach my pre-teens about stock investing?" Conventional wisdom says "start investing while you are young." The idea grew from there and evolved. The basic premise of the book is that one should invest at...

I know most of the community here consists of active traders (I am in that group, too), but I just released a book on stock market investing that seems to resonate with beginners and advanced traders alike. Some recent reviews: "Highly recommended. Especially for people trying to figure out...

Thanks for the question. 1st place one time, and 2nd place two times in the World Cup of Futures Trading Championship. Year long, real money, 3rd party audited trading contest. Same one Larry Williams (and later his daughter) won years ago. I had nowhere near the performance of Larry, though.

Thanks! I hope you enjoy it!!

This is why I need to stay out of discussions... The guy I tried to support calls me a liar. The guy I tried to educate reads "CFTC...regulates...retail FOREX" yet refuses to acknowledge that. Crazy stuff for a rainy Saturday. Peace Out.

Had a forex account with a broker that went under. Never got all my money back from them. Had 3 futures accounts over the years with brokers that went bust. Got all my money back in each case, because other firms stepped in to take on positions, etc. Made whole in each case. Sorry, not a...

I deleted the last part because I had a too quick trigger finger. I apologize for that. Being a sponsor makes no difference here, I get no special treatment, and I do not need any. So can we at least agree that the CFTC does have regulation on the retail Forex market? I see that as being...

I trade Forex too. Not sure why you are telling me to trade only one. Both have advantages, and disadvantages. Tell me what the "bloated lie" is that I supposedly said. I can back up everything I have said.

Do you know what counterparty protection even is? I doubt it, but I hope you never need it. I'd benefited from it 3 times in futures. Lost out because of lack of it 1 time in Forex.

Here is what I saw: "provide the CFTC with broad authority to register and regulate entities wishing to serve as counterparties to, or to intermediate, retail foreign exchange (forex) transactions. The final rules become effective October 18, 2010." You said "The CFTC does not regulate the...

Nice, so how about this: "FOREX is not as regulated as futures" One example: counterparty protection.

Did you even bother to read the release? "regulations concerning off-exchange retail foreign currency transactions" >> that is Forex, not futures.
