Sharpe Ratio Questions

If it makes me a troll to call B/S when I see it than so be it. "ur on the iggy"? What does that even mean? I'm not sure who the troll is here. I make reasonable posts and get 5-word, partially complete jibberish as a response. Sorry...i must be ...

Stunning Analysis — Nice job responding to my points. With hard-hitting analysis like that, I can't see any reason why you won't find that job you're looking for at a big wall street shop.

There are so many things that are ridiculous about this thread...(in no particular order) 1) The fact that people here feel the need to "correct" other traders for not trading the way that they trade is funny. People have their own style...get over ...

You make YOUR entries based on 4h charts. Bravo - that doesn't mean that yours is the only way to trade. You give your stops to your broker and others have mental stops (and apparently they like to stare at their screen for hours on end). You have ...

It's all about style differences — I suppose it's a question of perception & what you're comfortable with. YOU wouldn't have shorted it but others might have. For example, I wouldn't consider it "chasing" to sell a currency trading near its ...

Best forex and/or trading book you have ever read?

You'll have to forgive me, I've only started reading your thread but how can you say that every entry requires <100pip stop loss? There are plenty of times you can afford to give over 100pips if you stand to gain 500-1000 pips. If you're only ...

Gifthorse... — So I took off that GBP/CHF trade prior to the "stress test" -- I don't need the headline risk / headache risk. Have a great weekend everyone!

Well...that's what makes a market! I've always been partial to #s divisible by 5. With $22, I just don't see it as important recently. In 2006 and 2007, I see it. In '08 it seemed to regularly blow right through that level (on the way up and the way ...

Depends... What are you trading, how are you trading it, and how much leverage do you like to use? For the S&P E-Mini contract, the multiplier is 50, so for instance the index is at 1063.75, so that's a $50,000+ dollar contract. (since it moves in ...

It's it amazing? You can buy/sell a currency @ 100-1 leverage, buy/sell a commodity at 15-1 or 20-1 leverage, buy/sell options (which are effectively a leveraged play on a stock), but can't buy a CFD. I never understood that. Oh and unless you have ...

Chris, I think the people who want a signal service are those that don't want to do any work for themselves. It's the old expression "give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish he'll eat for a lifetime". While, you've been known to ...

Justin, Any plans to allow traders to cancel pending orders on weekends using the MT4 platform? Seems like it should be pretty easy to implement... Thanks.

There will certainly be unforeseen consequences of the loose monetary policy. As a saver, I'm upset I get no yield on my cash. That being said though, the steep yield curve is good for the economy. It gives savers incentive to either spend or ...
