I've personally done really well with Al Brooks, he really highlighted some obvious things in the markets which I then tweaked and adapted. I go...
Yeah probably a combination of both factors. The digix crowdsale occurred on the 30th, it was meant to go on for 30 days - they decided to cap it...
Nice concept, I'm guessing it's successful due to it being difficult to obtain bitcoins. However now there are sites like uphold.com which is a...
Not enough money to trade conventional markets in my opinion. Something like wealthfront/betterment in the US or nutmeg in the UK. The problem...
Glad to see some guys here getting involved, was thinking it was just a rag tag band of crypto geeks and secret drug dealers. I heard about eth...
In my head, back months are usually 8-10 months away from the front month in Brent. Although I'm sure others have a different definition. The...
To follow on from the 'paper seller' I saw in DecJan previously. I got short that spread today right before settlement expecting trading on the...

I don't know if it's original but something Al Brooks highlighted for me when trading ranges. If price spikes up or down to the high or low of a...
Thanks for your insights. I've been trading live for more than four years now, what I was talking about in terms of pain and fighting through...
I've been thinking about this... Simple but tough question. One piece of the puzzle on the journey of making it as a consistent trader is letting...
I've never taken a strict mechanical system approach to trading or really backtested anything. Just forward tested with small size and then...
Sorry guys I should have gotten back to this earlier. It's given me time to think about my response. At my firm there are guys who are experts...

I think it's because historically a prop firm could be supported by mediocre traders making markets on the bid/offers and covering any losses of...
