Take it for what it is worth: it's these markets near or at ATH. Wait until we are below ATH, you may see it work better for you.
or we finally get some sort of event that wasn't on anybody's radar, then you get one freaking huge monthly bar down on huge volume after gap...
...only to find out that most these people made money in different markets and quit trading or would never be able to make money in the markets...
Al Brooks' book (I read the 3 volume edition) is a very intelligent book about the trading. At times it is very hard to read, but it covers most...
I agree with that. You need to learn the instrument you want to trade, how it behaves, how it moves. That's why it may be too hard or impossible...
I don't trade stocks so I don't follow them but in regards to your "strong subscriber growth" comment... I've read that all their money goes into...

I guess you have a patent on what "small account" means exactly.
You should re-read his post and not jump into conclusion what he intends to do. He's simply trying to verify the two "ideologies" often presented...
Scataphagos, I think you missed part of OP's question: While he asks "hypothetical" question it doesn't sound like he wants to gamble. This is a...
there are lots of negative comments toward Volante how stupid it is to short this market, but frankly the only ones that should post comments like...
Me neither. Whether you are using leveraged instruments or using margin/borrowed funds (that cost you) it always ends up as some Return on your...
