nice quote
I understand everything you are talking about in this video. My question is.... how do you avoid conformity? I feel its impossible. We are controlled by money and their really is no way to avoid it, unless however you decide to move to the country and live off the land or create your own business, granted you have the the money and business to succeed. I mean I have seen hard working people who literally bust their butts to basically just survive and to lose it all.... again and again. There isn't any freedom in that. Then you have to put on this mask everyday because you have to please these people. You have to please your boss, co workers, friends, teachers, family members and I mean everyone or else.... **** you'll lose your job and people will just not like you and that is not going to be a pleasant world to live in. And then you have your boss who will just talk down to you like you are an idiot because they can and they feel they have a sense of control over you, so you have to act like a puppet, dancing around on your tip toes just so you can keep your damn job. Honestly, I hate the world we live in. If I could escape and be free that would be I think the ultimate joy. To just not give a **** anymore. In all honestly that is not even possible because we live in a world were we have to care. Have you looked up the word "care" in the dictionary. It means to worry. People in the US are so god damn worrisome about EVERYTHING and its like this false image that has been created the we MUST live up to all of these high expectations and then we obviously fall short. Then people wonder why they are developing anxiety issues, depression, and chronic fatigue syndrome. OR they are just so stressed its creating worse problems like strokes, heart attacks.... I just find it ridiculous and I think... how the hell am I ever going to get peace or happiness when the first thing I do is wake up in the morning and I think great I have all of the ****ing things that are expected of me, which I really don't want to do, but I have to ****ing do. Everybody I have ever talked to hates their jobs. 90% of Americans hate their jobs and other countries thinks we have it so great and granted we do, yet they fail to see just how stressed we really are with all of the demands put on us and a lot of it has been programmed in our minds to be a certain way or else we are considered less than. We must have the latest fashions, fit bodies, nice homes, nice cars, current with **** going on in the world, high GPA... the list goes on and on and on and they make it damn near impossible for us to survive with prices rising all the time! People spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on an education and I know so many people who aren't working OR they are working but they aren't making but $10-$12 and hour! American dream? That's right... its just a dream. We are working towards an illusion. Its fake. It doesn't exist and we expect it to be oh so great and then we get out there and realize its all bull****! I have learned in my spirituality that we never really own anything anyway! Go buy a house... but you'll never actually own it! You're gonna die, but that's if they economy doesn't go haywire again and you have to foreclose on your home first.
 
im looking forward to wimbledon.
anyone seen these copy trader websites-sounds like a gr8 way of losing your cash
 
i have been looking at some very safe correlation patterns at the moment.meaning that you enter the trade with an expectation and a time limit.you take your loss like a man and quickly if the position goes against you.i was watching the ftse today and it was weak whilst the dow was strong.dow was plus 100 and the ftse was down .this to me is a perfect low risk safe bet.yes i know things could go pear shaped as it is the MARKETS,but you always have your stop.you then have to time your trade which to me is 1hr before the ftse closes-just watch and if you like the conditions pull the trigger and short £1 per point.you then close the trade at your leisure.you are obviously wanting the dow to retrace-the ftse should follow.but you are following the line of least resistance with the ftse as its weak when the dow is very strong.i know that its not chart trading but its common sense to me.if the dow starts going north and not as predicted just close out early.

ftse has been hugely volatile against dow for last five or six weeks.

Today it opened strong against dow (didn't reflect the dow drop after ftse close) so it was likely to trade weak against dow, which it did with a vengeance up to 10am (presumably this was the bit you saw). It then traded strong to flat against dow for a few hours then weak again from dow open to ftse close.

safe bet was the initial short ftse/long dow for the couple of hours after the open. The long ftse/short dow was a bit iffy after that and you needed to be out smartish when it started to go weak against dow again replacing it with short ftse/ long dow if you were bold. Good money to be had, though, relatively safely.

I only got most of the initial weakness after the open and didn't risk the others.

Thanks for your view-i try and avoid the dax but i see patterns with the dow and ftse that appear to be low risk if you are patient."Good money to be had, though, relatively safely".Thats the key:cool:the other pattern that i am looking at is massive strength or weakness in the markets and just hopping on board for a ride.it alarms me when traders do the opposite and try and find the top to short or try to catch a falling knife.eg dow up 300 it must fall.buy it then be brave.

well, that's the joy of the "safe pair trade" - you don't have to worry about whether the dow is going to keep going or reverse when you can just rely on the ftse trading weak (strong) against it whichever way it goes. After all, if dow went up another 300 ftse would have traded weak if it only went up 100.
 
my trading background is following G8 correlation patterns and forex strengthmeters ........I have looked at global equity indexes over the years but found it more difficult to justify day trading as for me the time window/Zone overlaps are not as prevalent and available as 24/7 forex during the week....also since specialisation is so important to be profitable I cannot justify trying to follow 2 such specialised areas at the same time

the mighty US indexes are all...............so until that dude wakes up for real I struggle to play Ftse/dax/cac etc etc correlation's with any confidence.............London pm clearly has all those markets in play and perhaps that's when I feel correlation in the markets may have merit

I know that my old partner in crime jedster was looking at this way back with his quant/programmer hat on but havnt caught up with him for a while now as hes busy elsewhere

itspossible - do you use breadth of market analysis at all ?...........ive always felt that was a key element to this style of trading as when you have a significant % of sectors/stocks in index moving in same direction that really does help my confidence

i think i once read of a trader who traded without listening to news.he just looked at markets and went with the flow.interesting concept.
 
In a nutshell there are some very safe correlation patterns out there and some fairly logical moves.if they do not go as planned just get out with your loss.i will give you an example.dow 17946-dow is up 50 and some figures come out and the market reacts and goes up to 100.the news is digested and the markets start going south and the dow is now the same as it was the day before.i would be thinking of shorting there after confirmation of the down trend as its now going negative as the news is absorbed-just a small short with a stop.hell you may get stopped out but you are going with the flow.just follow the pattern.off to tennis soon gang-enjoy your weekend
