Anyone out there trying to figure out what are realistic approaches to trading would do well reading through this thread with a magnifying glass. Daytrading, great contributions.

To answer your above question: With all I had juggling during my learning stages it was about 10-20 hours a week physical trading time. In reality I was thinking about it 24/7. Now I read this: Sorry if this is too blunt but it seems like you are ...

I'd say that's about right. At least from my experience.

This is correct, and is my definition of scalping. I have not studied this area of research because to profit from it means competing with professional programs designed to exploit such inefficiencies at astronomical rates. I have not the ...

There are two prices, the bid and the ask. In its simplets form, these prices have technically not traded yet. They are, in a sense, advertisements about where the next willing trader wants to transact. The real market exists inside of these two ...

Yes you can trade full time. I traded for a long time solely off of Oanda. Now I have accounts with several different providers. You only need to move if one broker does not provide services you need over another. Or if you are trading in a way they ...

LOL. I was alluding the the fact that I do not trade off of charts, and therefore do not "trade" timeframes. Little unclear on my part, sorry.

I don't see a "None of the Above"...?
- Gaston replied Mar 16, 2009
Yes, charts are deceiving, but not necessarily for the reasons you mention above. In regards to your situation, you must remember that there are always two prices at which to trade: the bid and the ask. A candlestick is not informative enough to ...

Exaclty. Then as they shift their priorities, you shift yours. You will not be hoping that the historical data will happen the same way two times, three times, ten times, etc. There is no way I can claim that you cannot be consistently profitable ...

Hmm. I do not use a chart to determine where these participants are going to intervene, and therefore my immediate response would be to say that it cannot be done. I could make assumptions about those levels, but my guess is that it would ultimately ...

Right. A good system can be measured historically, and you would continue to trade that system if you believed the results would repeat themselves in the future. But again it comes down to cause and effect. A common mistake traders make is that they ...

OK. I understand that it is impossible for me to disprove every single pattern or system out there, but speaking from experience I have come to the above conclusions. I understand that you can pull up a chart with 10 year data and find things that ...

Alright I'll chime in. First, someone mentioned earlier that systems are profitable based on historical probabilities. I think this whole probability rampage should be trimmed down a bit to understand what is really going on when you calculate the ...

Thank you for taking the time to think about your reply before hitting submit. I appreciate that. I will only say that I mentioned you paying for his services etc. because I beleive you are NOT doing that, so why ask for a track record if he is not ...

Then it appears we have two differing opinions about what defines a system. I do not consider myself misinformed here. I will edit my post to incorporate the edit you made of yours: Where the hell did I say trading was easy? If he makes 10 grand ...

Please explain how proof of his success is of any value to you? My point above, Jwentro, is why even bother? Are you investing in Shakes? Giving him your money to trade? Taking his signals live and trading them on a real accout? If not, then who ...
- Gaston replied Feb 25, 2009
By your very argument you prove that demanding proof of others success is a useless venture. If its hard enough to find profit on your own balance sheet, why try so hard to find it on someone elses. In the end it will not improve your trading in the ...

I trade for a living. But the bills I pay are minimum. I made it a point to pay off my cars, house, and any other loans I had before ditching my day job. Life is less stressful that way.
