If your losses are small and your running a 68% win rate, why not scrape together whatever you can and run a higher risk % until it gets to a point which is sustainable for you? If the system is decent, you should have no trouble risking 5-8% per ...

Jumping onto the professional arena

Interesting. I suppose if there was a specific mathmatical equation that one could use to derive the fair value price of a stock, then we could have a positive sum game. But it can't have any ambiguous parts. X+X+X= Stock price. Does this equation ...

Forex: A Zero Sum Game?

Partially. I don't think we need to expand it out to include N+1 though.

Forex: A Zero Sum Game?

Ok. I understand what your saying but I have to disagree. The argument for stocks and even real-estate being positive sum fails to account for any indirect costs of market price movement. Try this example: I open up Darkstar’s Lint Manufactures and ...

Forex: A Zero Sum Game?

A buddy of mine recently deposited $50k with a local hedgefund. The operator had written a book on the subject of writing deep OTM options and has documents showing tens of millions under management. On the surface it looks like a reputable ...

US trader ordered to pay back $35m

I have one, but I'm not stupid enough to share it. Did you really expect to be handed one?

What is the best Forex Predictor???

I don't know, it was still a valid theory. The big retail sales in november were moved to december and taken on balance they weren't that good. Net net, retail sales were below consensus. I still got smoked on the trade though. Effin revisions...

US Retail Sales (Jan 12 2007)

I hear you brother, and you make a great case. I'm just pointing out that the US retailers are all publicly traded companies. Many of them have come out over the last 2 weeks and revised guadance for Q4 earnings lower. They wouldn't have done that ...

US Retail Sales (Jan 12 2007)

Not that I follow them too closley, but I believe the December holiday sales were not that great. I recall numerous warnings out of retailers in the US sighting heavy price discounting. Just something to consider...

Liquidity in a high end trading environment

After the phenomenal comments from Bear, Twinc, and Mr Trend the only thing I can add is that you should question your underlying reasons for wanting to be a trader. The un-discussed thing about trading is that it changes you. It shows you the type ...

My personal experience - Lost 5,000 USD in 4 months Forex. Please advice.

You could output it, but it's unlikley it would be of much use. Most of the open orders are BS and the ones that are real are iceberg. It also doesn't display any stop data or actual positions. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I could trade without ...

This is sort of an arbitrary question. A guy who spends 12 hours a day trading for 1 year has a hell of a lot more experience then the guy trading for 5 years but only 2 hours a day. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on this poll in determining the ...
