Laff. Only reason I ever watch him, he's entertaining. "THEY KNOW KNOWING!" blaring into the mic... lol. I think we can all relate to that whole "WTF are these bozos doing?!" feeling. But yea, don't trade on his advice. Anyone stupid enough to trade ...

Why CNBC shows Liar Jim Cramer Weekly?

Ok. The concepts of ranging and trending weren't new at all, I have books dating back from from the 60s w/ those concepts. And while the MP graphic was certainly new, the concepts of "where price is comfortable" and "average price" were certainly ...

CBOT Market Profile

There's a whole slew of trading concepts related to market profile, the graphic itself means nothing if taken out of context, and is only a representation of higher-order concepts. You can trade w/ market profile concepts w/o ever using the graphic, ...

So then just short his recos if he's wrong so often.

Why CNBC shows Liar Jim Cramer Weekly?

You need to have a broker that provides some kind of basic charting service. From there you can easily determine if price has changed.

How to Identify Major Movement in the Market

Even if you install to separate directories I think they share some registry info, and I don't know if you can load both at the same time. Another way, incase you need it, is to use a virtual machine. MS's "Virtual PC" is free to download, you can ...

How do I set up 2 Meta4 Platforms

When price breaks out of it's range, or moves outside of the previous day's high/low and doesn't immediately retrace back...

How to Identify Major Movement in the Market

Wow, touched a nerve eh. Very emotional here. LOL, because you know me so well? Laff. But in the case of trading, ya, I do judge it by money. Why? Because that's why it's there. I've had enough hobbies to know... if you aren't making money at it ...

You Must Be Experienced Trader!!!

Yawn. As an experienced and profitable trader I just must ask... why would I need you (hypothetically, not requesting a sales pitch)? Why can't I just hire a coder (assuming I couldn't code it myself), have them sign a non-compete and a ...

You Must Be Experienced Trader!!!

No problems on this end. I'm home for the holidays, so I'll prolly watch (and trade if a setup comes along) today and Tuesday, then maybe check in Friday morning.

December Trading Period

We have several Muslim traders on the site. It's against Islam (haram?) to pay or be paid interest.

What is this - Swap Free Accounts?

With today's volatility, ya, I get what you mean. Assuming say, a 100 pip SL, that'd be $2 per pip, or 2 mini lots. With a 200 pip SL, that'd be 1 mini lot. So ya, not a big ticket trade but still... There are always strings. "Free" never is.

FXDD Red Flag

Think thru it. You can't pass $1000 lots to an ECN, wtf are they going to do with it? So what do they do? They aggregate trades. They have to. They take some of your trades, some other people's trades, and they mix em together to get a net position ...

Is IBFX really different from the other brokers?

Yeh, but if you're trading with such small accounts... who cares if half get hit with a margin call? Your MM would be in the number of accounts.

FXDD Red Flag

Unless you're trading w/ an ECN, you're w/ a bucket shop. This isn't inherently bad since it means you can take smaller than standard lots, just make sure they don't trade against you too badly. IBFX is ok, if you have trade problems don't hesitate ...

Is IBFX really different from the other brokers?

Yeh, when I saw that ad the first thing I thought of was "How are they going to keep people from withdrawing profits on this?" You could deposit $100, get a $100 free, then take 1 trade w/ it all... lol. I suppose they'd probably count your money as ...

FXDD Red Flag

Right, closing the first position only to re-open later it would result in higher transaction costs. But that's not really hedging in it's classical form. It's commonly referred to as "trading around" a position. Granted it looks similar to a ...

Proposal to phase out Hedging

I'm glad someone has finally pointed out this evil pencil conspiracy. I was about to write humanity off as hopeless, about to be erased from existence, but now I see someone has a firm grip on the situation and will soon get the lead out, draw a ...

Proposal to phase out Hedging

Did this thread really just turn into an argument about hedging? Because... uhm...

Proposal to phase out Hedging

I have never heard of Mark Fisher, and I doubt that it has anything to do with these techniques. Don't expect to get it all at once, go thru the entire MP handbook. It's well worth it, and the best stuff is saved for last. It's not so much about the ...

Noobs on a mission. My journey back to a thousand.
