Looks sweet. What's PT?

I'd add my 2 cents. I believe that if you want to save money, you'd rather use demo account. And if you decide to trade normally, you'd better pay enough for a decent broker.
-
Nice piece. It's true that whatever the result - markets shall remain what they are and we should simply listen, read and follow.
-
It's my firm belief that if you see a "professional trader" requesting a small fee for their advice - it's most likely a scam or a fraud. You really think that a profitable trader needs your couple bucks? Or that you wouldn't be able to find this information for free on the internet or some forums?

Found some strange PDF, is it what you're looking for?

Sell the news, then?

I guess I'll stick around this thread a bit, an interesting topic about which I happen to know absolutely nothing about
-
So just to clarify: do you consider trading is the same as gambling, or do you consider poker to not be gambling?
-
Hm, got me wondering too, and I couldn't find information via Google. Now there are two of us in this thread looking forward to hear an answer

The best way to rest and clean your mind is to change the type of your activity. So since we're talking about sitting by computer, the way to rest is like any activity: take a walk, play some sports, ride a bike...

You're right, obviously. I'd suggest this advice to be the first and foremost to be taught to students of economy. It's like the main idea for risk management.

What is size of your waist then?:haha: :haha: :haha:deep guilty conscience , is it?
use alcohol as an ant-i -depressant , it makes you fatter.:crap:
Every little helps, you know. If booze helps you with trading - take your time

the market knows nothing of your monthly goals. By all means keep trading unless you find that mentally you are becoming sloppy and taking risks you normaly would not take, after you reach you monthly goal. Ultimately the goal is to continue taking money out of the markets. Each day is a new day to do so.The problem here is that it might be too late when you realise you're getting sloppy and lose concentration if you already lose your money. Not sure it's worth getting yourself to this stage...

just go all in every trade, 70% of your account. if you start losing, exit. if you win, let profits run. if you lose, make your next trade be 80% of your account so you make up for your losses faster. if you lose again, go 90% then 100% if need be. you wont fail. you cant fail.Well that's an interesting tactic. I wonder for how long will your account last this way... Something tells me it will be like first 15 minutes on the open

These are known facts for everyone a bit deeper involved in trading PMs than the average joe IMO. While it is a legit question to ask what would happen if there always lacks the other side of that equation which is how large is the percentage out of these trades done by parties that DO intend to NOT just trading paper? Knowing that delivery of the good is well at least questionable why would one do these paper trades instead of buying bullion from the get go?True, though somewhat debatable if it's really that obvious. Imo this equation is a bit more complicated than just two parts mentioned

$UNG Theme remains bullish but are longs buying risk here . The theme remains bullish for "natty" as we rally off of suLooks quite promising to me. I'd suggest it a buy as soon as it gets at least 0.2 more.

Nice article. I wonder though... I suppose this could be considered bad habit in certain situations: "He’s the fortitude and patience to endure days or weeks of losses, knowing that some big wins would soon wipe out those losses". What I mean by this is that if you blindly keep up to the losing stock or a defective trading strategy blindly - this might bring some pretty sad results. I guess I'm carping some minor details now, but I thought I had to point this out
-
You cant do this reliably, unfortunately.... And If anyone could do it they would not tell you about it.I believe it all highly depends on experience. And most probably the reason why they won't tell you secret is not because they're lying, but rather because they're far out of your league. So there's literally no chance for you to have a chat with them to learn their secrets...
-
Yes you are right. In that regards, here are some few common advantages of both of themFounders set terms
Founders set value of company
Founders set number and price of shares
Founders set minimum investment
I wonder what are their disadvantages then? For example, I've heard there are certain problems concerning lack of liquidity, and some consider restrictions are too tight. Could you delve deeper into the topic? I know it's probably some basic information, but I thought I'd ask you since you seem versed in the issue:)

$TSLA big pic: confirmed earlier March, all production problems solved to ramp to 500k cars. Last question: demand for M3. The 1 thing Elon. Tesla does best. M3 will be loaded with innovative stuff, look good, have more ranger than expected, and higher margins.

Citron didn't cover all the angles before doubling down on an already bad short:

$FB Overpriced. But I've been wrong since IPO. This company offers nothing to the productivity problem of Global growth.

Personally I don't like them because they take control away from my hands. Obviously, I use them in times of volatility, but in general I try avoid it.
