Agree, total Hokum. One of my (hippy) friends showed me it in 2008 - I couldn't sit through it all. While I'm all for the power of self-belief and positive thinking to keep motivation levels high, which ensures we seek and make the most of opportunities, the idea that we deserve something...

*rubs ears* "I am an excellent money manager"

FYI: Gekko has an up to £1000 offer

What do you want to know John? I've been a member for a couple of years now - I play most days. Pokerstars (PS) are supposedly better for rewards (though I've never played there), but Fulltilt (FTP) has much better software and less nitty cash game players. As PS rewards volume, you find a...

Someone could squeeze, but the blackbox arbs are just going to switch on and move it back to where it was and squeeze the life out of the squeezer.

Yeah, the ES is super liquid - currently about $12m on a single level. I just meant that the FTSE wouldn't be regarded as illiquid - it's more of a mid-liquidity index future (if there is such a thing, but you know what I mean). If you want to have a look at an illiquid index future, try the...

I prefer the Eurostoxx to FTSE. If the Eurostoxx doesn't move too much, then you just have to size accordingly. I wouldn't say that the FTSE is illiquid - £100K per level isn't too bad

A fair observation, it is illiquid compared to ES, Bund and Eurostoxx. The S&P is the largest index in the World, the German 10 year is the most important debt instrument in Europe and the Eurostoxx is the benchark index for the whole of Europe. Comparatively, the FTSE isn't too important...

There are lawyers which specialise in Funds and M/A, etc. However, they 'specialise', so securities/trading is probably a bit to general an area for this type of Law study. I think you would need to look around the areas of compliance, corporate law and market abuse. There are also lawyers...

I think you're right. It's just a case of when they fall of which I have no clue.

As stated before in this thread Jon, take the job to reduce your stress levels but continue to trade when you can. You have only been in the game for 2 years and broken even. Despite what you may think, breaking even is itself an acheivement and suggests you aren't too far away from becoming...

Hi Omar, I can't really comment regarding the analysis of volume. However, what I can add is that I don't think that volume is a directional indicator: Typically, I find that the magnitude of the volume at support/resistance is directly proportional to the magnitude of the move (whether that...

Short answer is yes. Most FX traders in banks are market makers.

Slight tangent, but I hate that word 'predicting'. For example, say I am delt a pocket pair of Aces in No Limit Texas Hold'em Poker. Against one other player with a random hand of two cards, before any other cards are seen, I am roughly an 83% favourite to win the hand. From this, if I get my...
