DislikedWhere you at detector, missing you in cheetah etc What are you in lately? Also, didn't read the whole thread but what Island is this about.. Island as an idea or UK (island/s)? BTW was almost in London this week, but skipped it (although still thinking if i should catch it...) Am observing the opportunities since I do love to trade London times the most, triple the liquidity at certain markets... Trying to figure if there would be any benefits of physical presence there I like the dynamic and "energy" or better.....Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hello A, pleased someone is sorry I haven't been active, been a little poorly and work been manic, had a few small positions but in general on the sidelines with Christmas holidays on the horizon, been here before so keeping my powder dry. The "Island" this is what we buy when we make it big, expect to see you all as neighbours, will be much easier to trade when we're all a jet ski away. I'm further up the country but worked in London many times, been drunk there many times tooDIgnored
Disliked{quote} Nice man! Might be off-topic (so sorry people, pass if necessary), but it is TRADING related... Speaking about trading/hedging.. am seriously considering moving/establishing residency/comp in UK before you might take another route... I like to be hedged man... at this day and age In a way I like OPTIONS/freedom in the world.. Just check how US people got limited now... about CFDs, CO2.. EU dropped the leverage to 30:1.. although it basically had unlimited leverage just years back... what was also the significant advantage vs US......Ignored

Disliked{quote} Just checked your TE man... You seem to be rolling it for now BTW have you ever though about getting your trades reviewed to maybe find better harvest strategy? I myself am using rather simplistic harvest strategy.. haven't found better one than combinatorics from stat modelling different past, future scenarios as certain market conditions at certain parameters.. but I let.. in fact I know there is better... Have tried to find some sci guys and/or traders... but think both have some sort of blind spot Traders are...Ignored
Disliked{quote} A, thanks, never dissected my TE, and probably don't know off hand, never needed to, my results are of late, just enjoying the training wheels off with results, I have two sets of system, the first I used when I met my fellow Island trades, results were showing, albeit 2 steps forward 1 back, I realised my lot size was my enemy, trying to move too quick, then created the second system, this is refining a little, still too early on entry though, the WTI flash we had the other week knocked me, the irony was, I seen the rise and done nothing,...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Tnx for the input... I will let my trades roll also... specially next year.. and then, If I am satisfied... might give them reviewed if "they" found some better harvest I know I might be missing some pips but nevertheless.. at the moment the price prediction still primary focus of mine... Also the second thing I will have reviewed... is to (know how but do not have time to program it myself).. to extract luck vs juice.. but that would be later, atm it might be better not knowing aka "enjoying" the benefit of the doubt, just...Ignored
Disliked{quote} A, looked over your TE, very impressive, in my best terminology, I see you beating your opponent with minimum moves, very timely and profitable. Swaps/Rebates, there is a FF member Blue Panther (you may have read his story) the rebates he received when he was actively trading made for "just good profit" outside of trading, DIgnored
Disliked{quote} Ef, sorry about the misspelling, forgot them darn glasses, and to be so vague, yeah, Santa delivered but not to the extent (certainly at the moment) ChinUSA talk could have done if all the hype was to be believed, while I'm typing the Dow looks like a leg down appearing, all a little unsettled however think it could be a rouse, past patterns have shown a sharp move, given this I'm on the side a little until we get some clarity, long would be my preference for the time being, hope your well bye the wayDIgnored
Disliked{quote} Thanks Detector. I'm doing well other than the fact I sold some holdings back in October when the S&P was 180pts lower. Percentage wise it's not a lot, but monetarily speaking it hurts some to miss out on that upside. Either way, I can't complain since it's been an amazing year. I need to do the math at some point to see what I actually made between all my accounts.Ignored
