Fool/Turveyd: You 2 sound as crazy as I If u trade enough hours and are good at it you WILL get very good ROI,keep at it. 5% a day is not unreasonable. Most will never succede,and they will doubt anyone successful-and that's OK. I'm sure there ...

Might I first suggest that you actually do it full time & make a living at it before planning to join a hedge fund. They're not going to consider you for more than a second without some kind of degree unless you are a superstar trader with long term ...

Paradoxical: You're right about very few traders on here,I've talked about this B4. Here's a cut/paste of an email I've sent out: ****We have thousands of multi year FF regulars, who maybe trade demos and give out advice like crazy to newbies. As a ...

Seeing as UBS has agreed to disclose names of suspect American depositors,unless you've paid taxes or aren't American, that's not too wise. If it's a few grand may be ok,but who knows how far they are searching? Or just take the cash and hide it ...

You can also double up on the lots and trade just the one pair,it's easier to keep track of with one monitor. Or get more monitors,I have 12.

My advice:don't do it. Any bot will work some of the time,and in other times it won't. When it doesn't,all the fingers will be pointing at you.Here's what you'll get: -"I used my rent/mortgage/car payment money" -"but we made 80% last month" -"why ...

Where are you guys getting your "volume" data from?? I'd be interested to find out. Holidays..that's a new one. Central banks,banks,hedge funds,etc etc take a pounding because a large % of their staff takes off?? Don't think so. It is wise not ...

The best traders in the world generally are never named,keep under the radar,and trade anything else they want. Whenever they want. For the love of it. The rest of this is an email I sent a while back: Once you have "it" you can trade anything that ...

Stops have saved my a$$ 3 times: 2 power outages and a computer melt down. One overly ambitious week I had been trading the Euro,N America,and Asian markets all week (plus emini was going nuts) and was really exhausted by the time friday rolled ...

There is no onus on me for anything...why do I owe anyone any of my precious time?? 15 minutes a week is all this place gets from me. I get about 50 trading emails a day, it was somewhere in there.Am I gonna waste time trying to find it? Mary seems ...

Mary...it's not for me, it's for the newbies and beginners-a little info for them to ponder. Does not apply to me in the slightest,so therefore it's a waste of my time. As my time is worth thousands of dollars an hour,why is it so hard to ...

As there are literally millions of different "sytems" out there, almost anything will work for awhile in certain situations. I suggest really learning candlesticks. I'd bet there were candle reversals indicating reversals earlier than your ...

Black: My post and reply took a minute or two,a far cry from wasting 1/2 hour looking up crap that doesn't apply to me. I didn't realize it was so offensive to be curious about how traders (or in this case,non traders) who lived in an area were ...

denverdude: Are you that insecure you think I'm insulting you/your country?? Grow up. As for the question,well the article I read briefly indicated there was to be nothing other than full 100k lots traded. And I have better things to do than waste ...

There's numerous types of eminis,I prefer S&P 500 and often NASDAQ 100. Google is your friend. You also get volume on the eminis,but you don't have be crazy like me and trade 20 to 30 lots.
- Skippy replied Jun 30, 2009
I've recommended to many people to do S&P eminis instead of forex. Margin is more than FX,but you are on an actual exchange instead of being at the mercy of a brokerage. And commodities like others say are good too. Research.

Great explanation for them han. Unfortuneately,I rarely give a straight answer..my style is to nudge in a general direction to let them figure it out on their own.

hanover: if u notice the 20 pip thing was directed at max. Like you say,scalpers usually get hammered by the spread. But with last fall/winter with the meltdown and wild days,I'd always have 3 and often 4 or 5 days a week where I'd get 1000+ pips a ...
