  1. Not saying it can't be done, just saying the advantage isn't there.

  2. Up about 45%. Some overtrading and unnecessary losses.
    Discipline and patience!!!

  3. Well.. end of discussion.. :p
    Guess the crash was some combination of margin calls and high frequency trading. Have no idea except that the volume has been weak in this so called bullmarket.
    Up ~80%

  4. Well good for you.

    When was the first trade in this 80% run?

    Let us know when you enter any longs, just in case you change your mind.

  6. So you shorted Friday morning April 30th and held it over the weekend to get 20%? The markets moved up slightly over the weekend so you must have made 20%+ during the April 30th drop. Or were there earlier trades?

    What's your plan for the inevitable bull runs like from Feb to April?

  7. Yep i made about 20% last Friday. I did not hold over the weekend if i remember.
    Think there are many opportunities to short even in a bullmarket but i consider going long as well..
    Was short over night and in profit but have not covered yet.

  8. Late to the party, yes, but I still cannot believe that there are people out there that think that futures trading cannot make you owe more than you originally put into the position...
    :eek: :eek: :eek:

  9. Bad assumtion maybe. I asked Oanda (Forex) earlier about this and at least they said the customer could not lose more than what´s in the account. And that´s in the nonregulated Forex business which have had it shared part of scam artists. But i don´t know much about this..
