Yeah, his first post that included sure does provide a lot of insight and brilliance! Give me a break. A ton of arrogance for one of the most blindingly stupid things to say as advice. "Learn to trade all markets profitably then!" basically. ...

Why exactly do EMA crossover systems not work?

Quite the opposite... this is by far the most active broker thread here, and I'm sure that I and most other FF traders who use MBT are happy to have this thread. He doesn't have to be here, so the fact that he is almost every day is pretty awesome, ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

There's nothing stopping anyone from making more than 30% a year trading FX. Except skill, and/or luck, of course. Earning 30% a year in any asset class is way, way more difficult than you are making it sound, though. Look at the performance of ...

Good returns realistic by trading with higher time frames?

Expecting mutual funds to return 30% a year is absurd. And I suspect that many people who want to become a full time trader want it for the life benefits, i.e. working for yourself, working from anywhere, etc. more than just the money. I would ...

Good returns realistic by trading with higher time frames?

If I had to decide where to make a trade based on only the chart attached and no other context, I would wait to buy below 'x', after all the suckers went short trying to trade a breakout.

Triangle Pattern Poll

You overlooked one key point about this argument: 95% of traders don't control 95% of the money in the market. Not even close. Consider how many of the 95% are people who open $400 micro accounts, blow it all, and then stop trading. This is a silly ...

95% losers - Fact or Fiction?

Couldn't agree more. What I think is pretty arrogant is tdion takes his own experiences in the market and extrapolates them as truisms of some sort. I couldn't beat the market, ergo no one can beat the market. I couldn't apply ________ to the market ...

The market never cared about your moving average or candlestick analysis

I just mean the 'nobody really knows what they're doing' part. Clearly there are many traders who 'know what they're doing'. They may not be right 100% of the time, but you wouldn't call a team who wins 8/10 games a loser, would you? I agree that ...

I'm tired of reading "I'd have made more but I made mistakes."

Yes, I do buy into the self-fulfilling prophesy, sort of, and only on the longer time frames, but there is still far too much subjectivity when it comes to fib numbers, and far too much leniency given when one says they work. Look at the downtrend ...

Fibonacci Indicator? Is it a big Joke?

I've seen multiple threads/posts from you along these lines, and as always, I disagree completely. Quite tired of reading it, too.

I'm tired of reading "I'd have made more but I made mistakes."

None of this has to do with trading or markets whatsoever. He was a great mathematician, no doubt, but markets are purely made up of human behavior and psychology. Neither of which as far as I know have any overlap with Fibonacci numbers. To be ...

Fibonacci Indicator? Is it a big Joke?

I don't use fibs, but I could care less if someone wants to trade with them. To each his own, trade with the stars if you want. That being said, to those who say the market commonly retraces to fib levels, does it really? I mean does it really ...

Fibonacci Indicator? Is it a big Joke?

I actually disagree. What 'the market' cares about is hardly black and white, since 'the market' is made up of all participants, and at any given time how do you know that W traders aren't looking at X technical tool, Y fundamental data, or Z's ...

The market never cared about your moving average or candlestick analysis

I see the same thing happening in different forums totally unrelated to trading too, people get bored, busy, whatever, and move on. Tough to continuously dedicate time to a group of people you don't personally know, I suppose. It is nice to see some ...

7 years at FF - some humble advice

ACH limits vary depending on the financial institition, but according to the MBT website ( url ), the max limit is $5000 and possibly less depending on individual circumstances. There can also be limits set on a max deposit per day/week/month I ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

If I have a bias, long or short, I tend to look for congestion and a break below/above opposite the direction I am biased to, which has a lack of follow-thru. If I want to go long, and the current range is 5 - 10, I want to see a break below 5 ...

Trading breakout and avoiding 'fakeouts'

Because this is an exercise in futility. The AUDJPY over any specific time period may well have had more and stronger downward moves than upward, but seeing as these are currency pairs as Goat pointed out, the JPYAUD has the same exact inverse ...

Myth busted: FOREX doesn't have directional bias

Don't have that specific link anymore, but searching for "FX prop trading jobs" will find you a bunch of hits. Here's another you can find just doing a random search. url

Why so occult?

Takes two seconds to find jobs like this... A top tier investment bank is looking to recruit a highly talented FX prop trader to join their desk in London. The candidate will have experience trading spot FX across G10 currencies, and will have ...

Why so occult?

That picture shows all of the above-- salesmen, operations, IT, upper management, "real traders", etc. It's one of the largest trading floors (if not the largest?) in the world, I believe. url I think what you are interested in is propietary ...
