The mind cannot distinguish between what is real and that which is vividly imagined. To the extent that athletes who meditated upon jogging actually experienced physiological changes and improved performance as compared to a control group. There is ...

It happened again for a while today with EJ out of sync by about 20 pips whilst I was in a trade. Immediately closed out, relaunched and they were calibrated again, but it's certainly not ideal. JLB, can you confirm that this issue has been reported ...

I had this same problem on Wednesday. After quadruple checking and then questioning my own sanity, my only last hope before the men in white coats came and sedated me was to close down the program and re-open it. Either it worked or this is a dream. ...

New York close is the standard for daily pivots as I understand it. Google "daily pivot points forex" and cross-check yours with those on the first website in the results.

It's hard enough to trade profitably with a real ECN broker who at least in theory is indifferent to whether you win or lose, but when you're betting against a bucket-shop, you can 'spreadbet' your bottom dollar that they're going to make it almost ...

I imagine there were some flash cars in the parking lot at LTCM before the bailiffs took them all away. The statistics do not necessarily represent the probabilities, and therefore it is impossible to say with any certainty whether you have a long ...

It's a compliment that you would take my recommendation, but I feel I have to follow up with a note to manage your expectations! I found it an excellent read but others might take a different view. And if you're looking for a trading system in a ...

Jason Alan Jankovsky's - The Art of the Trade (what I learned and lost trading the Chicago futures markets). Best book about trading I've ever read. The chapter "The Meaning of Life" is absolutely brilliant. The book hasn't got much to do with ...
