I'd love to see this work. Even if it doesn't or takes a while to get right, please keep its profile high on T2W.

Ofcourse this WOULD be possible if there was a highly skewed distribution with the very worst traders being truly dire (and non-symmetrically the best being only slightly better than the median). In reality the bottom end is truncated by "account empty" and the upper end is not, so I guess you...

Let us know when we can meet up in Feb. I should be there.

Sounds interesting, perhaps we all have shared interests? Let's see what we can find as common ground after Xmas. Thanks for looking into this.

It was good to meet you all. I too had a reaction to the food (although it was only comically bad wind)! If we can find somewhere quieter (e.g. with our own room) and the possibility of using a projector, that would be good. It might make it easier to share ideas. Although I like the idea of...

In order to ensure that I maintain some form of objectivity in trading I analyse my results statistically (i.e. with a mind to understanding how much 'randomness', or things beyond my control day to day can play a part). I have attached 3 files. The point of these is to find objective...

I intend to be there on Monday (my first visit). Rich

In order to ensure that I maintain some form of objectivity in trading I analyse my results statistically (i.e. with a mind to understanding how much 'randomness', or things beyond my control day to day can play a part). I have attached 3 files. If you find this sort of thing utterly boring...

Derek, Thanks for the post. See you at: http://hotels.yell.com/wl/servlet/xmlbrochure/index.do?hotelid=178546&trkref=YLL#facilities..at (which is the link from earlier in the thread that works) Rich If you trade Forex for a living, whatever style or platform, you'll be very welcome. We...

Can we have a poll asking: how long have you been a trader? 1. < 1 year 2. 1-3 years 3. 3-5 years 4. 5-10 years 5. > 10 years I realise this may have been asked before, but not recently (?) Times change and it would be interesting to see how long people are able to "stick at it"...

I think this is one of those exam questions with different interpretations as to its meaning! Some of the comments directly above allude to the dependence on personal situations which absolutely determine the size of account required. Trying to generalise, to trade for a living and to adopt...

Yes, OK, fair comment. But at the expense of sounding possibly boring, "not that fun". I just think these sorts of things should be kept away from serious trading as it is the opposite mentality to success in trading. There is more fun elsewhere in the world and on the internet - in business...

I'm inclined to agree with fxmarkets. His analysis of the risk reward is rather more respectable than "T2W Team". A month on another platform sounds hairy, unlikely to win and not something you should jump in to. Small steps, slowly, slowly not = "yipee safari time". Where's the wisdom...

I was reading through details on Globex and found one of the first references that I have seen on "positions" taken by brokers actually stated by a reputable (I think) source: http://transcripts.fxstreet.com/fil...ngfxfutures.pdf If you scroll to page 4 of 6 a reference to wide spreads (up to...

I also agree with your analysis of people's focus on systems - people tend to flit about looking for an easy answer and eventually just plain give up. I have a system which has lost often (as many as 8 losses in a row and much longer runs where there is no net profit). This is scary, even...
