Hi there, I am moving to Asia for a few years and because of time zones I am looking to follow an Asian Index that is similar in profile to ES emini. can anyone offer suggestions please John

Hi there, I have never had any interest in non US Indices until now, and I am wondering what the shape of the Stoxx 50 day is ...generally speaking. ie What parts of the day carry the volume.[ I know a little bit about ES, as a reference] Also I would appreciate an approximation of RT...

Anyone here living in the Bahamas or know someone who is living in the Bahamas. I would be interested to make contact. Many thanks

I am looking to reduce my cash position and am considering placing some of it with managed or hedge funds. Since I have never used Funds before I would appreciate some assistance. However, here is where my thinking is so far. No stellar performances. Rather I need a smooth equity curve. The...

Bram, What can I say. Half-case of Evian on ice!!! Clearly you are a man who looks danger in the face and likes to live dangerously. No doubt you trade Fx without stops as a form of mental release after your Evian. Oddly enough the locals here are not large vino consumers. Many are take it or...

We are almost level in the betting now with the Brasileños. As always, the wild card will be latino temperament in all the coming matches.

I gather from your academic response that you do not trade for a living

Why would you allow the cynicism of others to dictate to you? This being the case you will never gain control of your mind/ emotions and you will become victim to your own self forfilling prophecy. In order to trade with consistent profitability, you must address the problem of "self" before...

Hi Ron, Judging from your comments, you are certainly in the middle of the "trading swamp" When you start making consistent profits, you will be endowed with all the energy in the world. Maybe you will want to put a little back into T2W to help those folks who are determined to improve...

THE COMPLAINING IS BORNE OF FRUSTRATION THAT ARISES FROM A COMPLETE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY. TRADING IS THE REAL WORLD, WHERE LOGICAL THINKING WINS THE DAY. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR DAY TO DAY WOOLY THINKING.

Wise, very wise ... so easily overlooked in the quest for pain free perfection. Your advice is the start to making good net points.
