    Because you are talking bs! You think you are funny with your comment but you are not! Someone asks a question, you don't have the answer for him so you make a fool of him, but I think you are the fool in this thread! 50% a day will only happen once or twice a year... 50% an hour you are...

    Probability - or, when is it better to stay in bed?

    It's a quote from Paul Rotter...who made to much money... The problem with this quote according to Paul is that it is against Human natur, after a losing trade you would love to play bigger to make up for your losing trade, while after a good trade you would like to play smaller because you are...

    Why only 66% approximately?

    To be honest, I am within that range too. That said, a good trader told me that my method isn't good or I am not using it good enhough, he told me a good strategy has around 80% of winning trades... What to think about it, i don't know... On the other side I have a good r/r ratio so who...

    Programmer with winning systems but no money !

    Did you improve the performance of your system by changing the parameters after testing it with different settings? Did they all make you a big load of money, or only your best system?

    Day Trading and Your Life.

    Hey Malaspina, Since my last post to your thread I have put some research into the topic of volume and I have to say I probably won't trade without it again! Before, I told you that I couldn't see any logic in volume it seemed to be random but at this point in my learning curve I can say it...

    spot vs futures spreads vs coms

    I only trade futures, all kind of futures, not only FX. The reason I trade FX and not the spot is that de spread in the spot flies in all directions while the FX goes much smoother and much slower then the spot. I find that the spot takes out my stops to fast. I started with NQ and ES but...

    Order priority

    Okey, so it's not the number of contracts, but the heavy moving of contracts. Very good to read your post, clears things up. And will probably prevent me from getting angry again when I see that I didn't got a quick fill :-d

    Day Trading and Your Life.

    I saw the reactions on my question but still I don't have a clue in what way I can have an advantage in my trading descision if I should buy a contract or not looking at volume! The point is, after the time period, 10 minutes for example I can conclude that there was a lot of volume the last...

    Day Trading and Your Life.

    Nice post, but when you mention volume I start wondering what are you seeing in volume? The reason I ask is because volume isn't like reading a newspaper for me but more a field of grass and I can't give any importance to one blade of grass or the other. So please enlight me? Whom's theories...

    Can scalping make you rich?

    I just saw someone naming a site where they made 22.5 ticks a day this year scalping the ES what is a very good performance if you have traded with just 1 contract. In the mean time his post is removed, but maybe is the guy still around and can he tell me with how many contracts that website...
