We're never satisfied! Oh and another hate.....office Christmas parties really suck!

I love Trading

Love .....the challenge, especially when you think of some of the other participants in their multi-billion dollar office buildings with their supa-technology! Hate .....the boredom, it's like a factory production line most of the time! Money's nice ...

When the whole FIFO thing came up I'm sure I read some brokers were offering second (linked?) accounts and reduced margin requirements to try and offset the effects for some people. Oanda I know has linked sub accounts, transfers between them are ...

I think you have more chance of success in the short term for some reason (a maths guru will probably explain why that is), in fact I've seen people make some extraordinary returns very quickly however they didn't ease off when they were ...

Wow, you're wound pretty tight aren't you, everything needs to be an argument! Relax, don't worry about it, sheesh it was only a bit of fun!

Ah ok, you wouldn't get the joke then, it's ok it wasn't that funny anyway, in fact it was more of a satirical comment than a joke!

I love Trading

lol, you're in the US and you've never heard of or seen a Miss America Pageant? It's ok, never mind......

I love Trading

Your goals are obviously unrealistic but the philosophy is basically a good one, consistent steady returns, smooth equity curve, compounding.....all good, but nothing new I'm afraid, it's called trading.

Ooops, I appear to have wandered into a Miss America competition by mistake....... ........ image ....

Nice returns if they're sustainable! Optimized backtests tend not to be all that reliable when forward tested though, that's the only problem, there's nothing more effective than hindsight. Anyway can't you have two accounts, use one for those ...

lol, I'll have a pint of whatever you're drinking! And where did anyone mention "how fast your account balance goes down when you make a loss"? Ummm, ever heard of a little thing called a margin call? Minor detail, right? Yeah, we don't need to ...

I think that's what most people are miffed about, they'll have to settle for realistic returns. Leverage though, as everyone keeps telling us, is a double edged sword, you haven't got to look back very far to see the carnage it can cause.

Most mainstream brökers already offer some very comprehensive free advice and competitively-priced training courses for people wanting to learn the business. Every regulated bröker publishes risk warnings on their website. Both of these have existed ...

lol, well with an attitude like that what did you expect, people to jump at the opportunity of offering you help and advice? Too funny...... image

I beg to differ. From what you've posted in this thread you certainly don't appear to have some of the most basic prerequisite skills. I'm sure that won't stop you and thousands of other like you from trying though! No wonder the failure stats are ...
