They should also all start with 2 people in 4000 BC, and grow the population at 1% a year until now, and see how many people they end up with.

And, then, there's the Rule of 72. Capital doubles with compounding in 72/rate periods. One percent return on the principal amount, capital doubles in around 72 trading days. You don't need Excel, not even an HP 12.

Einstein called compounding the 8th wonder in the world, he was not far wrong.

I feel it... only reason I am a little nervous about leaving my actual job for this as well... makes me think of this oatmeal comic:

Usually only my job and a pub can get me out of the house... take the job away... well, hehe...
I have a home business besides trading. Sadly everything in the horrible section is true as well. LOL

You should only leave your dayjob if you own your house outright, have no debt and enough money in the bank to survive comfortably for 5 years, anything else is financial suicide.

That is the biggest problem with some of these City traders, they can't afford to set out on their own, they keep p!ssing it aways, trying to keep up with the Joneses. It took me 3 years of planning to leave and set out on my own. Plenty of collegues said I was nuts for even contemplating it, let alone actually do it in the end. I have never looked back, the best decision...
Currently in the works ... all of the above... debt nearly all paid off... working on saving enough to buy a home out right... My goal is to abandon ship when I'm 30. Less than 3 years to go.

Plus, that's at least 3 more years of skirt season on campus... I know of no man who could walk away from that.

I agree with Cloggie. i will add, plan to have an office space outside of your house (if possible). If you are in a city, renting a share space with a few independent traders to share the cost and have some company for the coffee break even better. Check elitetrader, board you may find some independent traders looking for the same (well Chicago, NY and London especially) ...

You got it buddy, you going about it the right way. Get 5 years in the bank before you jump ship, if all goes to plan, you'd never use it anyways, but it is good to have it there "just in case", it does take the pressure of.

Well, I have some errands I don't want to run, but need doing nonetheless. Can't procrastinate any longer.

Have a good weekend. I'm going to stay long, because I think any event risk potential is to the upside for EUR. That, and the out of the money put, because, after all, what I think doesn't mean sh!t.

What do you want to tell us?
I know almost all here are not trading for long term.

But I can use the forum like everyone else.

My levels can be useful for all, just read them, digest them, and use them!

And PA topped at 1.4950 I said so.

My last 1.4292 call is more than a clue.

You guys must start to read the Weekly and Monthly charts or will never understand the Markets dynamic. Even in trouble times like we are living, Markets can't go against the dynamic more than a fraction period of time.

If even for free and helping with some directions and with my knowledge, I received from some this so noble quotes, I can't imagine if was in contrary.

GL ALL and GOD BLESS YOU ALL (Don't forget, money helps you only in this live)

I tried the joint office space for a while and didn't like it. I build a trading room away from the house now so at least I have to go to "work". Trading is a very sollitary business and once you crave or get company, your trading actually suffers from it, in my experience.

I tend to call fellow traders a few times a day, we have VC's and get together on the weekends, but all of us pretty much stick to ourselves during the day.

This thread is my outlet a bit during the day, to pass the time and keep me from being influenced by others. Very, very few here trade as I do and I have never been swayed by an opionion here, it does pass the time.

well, I meet all these requirements. I'm only child, and my family owns multiple homes.

The only problem is if Italy actually defaults and I don't know what would happen......

That's fine but no we don't "have to" do shit... And yeah i always put on a few trades on the bigger ones but that's out of totally different (regulatory) reasons.

mate your problem is not long term is that simply you are giving bad advice. If you want to defend your views, post a chart or shoot your reasons TA or FA, it doesn't matter but stop pointing to your blog or assuming that everybody here is an idiot to understand explanations. Start discussing trading.
