hello saxon22, After 17 pages of to and fro, it seems to me that you have a fixation with your concept and nobody seems to be able to shake it out of you. Well good on you for for your persistence. This being the case, jump in with some money (1 contact only) and sort it out for yourself. It is this ballsy attitude that makes great people. In fact I am somewhat surprised that you have not already committed yourself to your plan. The very best of luck to you.
I am open to logical explanations as to why it would not work, and must say some of the posts fit the above prescription. However, I was merely interested as to why my DOM and I presume most kinds of DOMS do not disclose all the positions? It would not be that hard to provide all positions on the DOM would it? As to finding out if this is a viable way ofmaking $$$$$, I am not a gambler and therefore do not throw my money and see what comes of it. I'd rather use strategies that have been tested and have a track record. I would venture to say that my trading personality is similar to a fox. As for doing it for real, I am closer than you think.
Hello Saxon22, I have read your reply very carefully, twice in fact. I can only say, "the very best of luck to you with your future".
Just do it with real money, and all the doubters will go away. I think your success rate will be much higher if you can join a firm where their per trade fees are much much lower than retail.
Skeptical about you ... yes I am. You have enough brain power to paralyze yourself, which is indeed the point that you are at in this moment. Now you need to find the courage to compliment your brain power and push forward. Add the two together and you will be unstoppable. But, if you should ever need to chose, one or the other, always take courage.
