OK, I have finally figured it out: Relative Strength is obtained by dividing the stocks price with a benchmark index (e.g. S&P 500) over the last 4 quarters, with 40% weight for the most recent quarter and 20% for each of the remaining quarters.

No, I am afraid it is not what I am looking for. Relative Strength is NOT the same as RSI. RSI is a simple indicator developed by Wilder. On the other hand, relative strength is the indicator used by William O'Neil in his famous newspaper Investor's Business Daily. More info here...

It is a good thing to pursue your dream as early as possible. However, I do think that in your early days after uni you better diversify your life in the society. Working experience in your early life will give you a good idea of what you really want and who you really want to be. Moreover, it...

Perhaps it is: More threads started = more questions?

Possibly by getting a job somehow and make profit in a real account. Also, are you living in Hong Kong now? Your flag is Australia, maybe Melbourne is the better place?

Scalping profitable? http://www.trade2win.com/boards/general-trading-chat/68552-scalping-profitable.html

Thats true. I always think that trading is a demanding sport, taking rest is really important. I always limit myself to trade only 3 days a week. For the rest of the time I enjoy myself.

And how about the new sins in the 21st centuries like banning hedging and stop orders in forex trading?

This is a topic I really want to discuss with trader having ups and downs throughout their career. Have you ever take time out of trading? Which was the longest period you have ever taken? I remember I read John Carter's Mastering the Trade, he said that he had a certain annual goal of trading...
