    In order to be a profitable day trader you must have an edge. I need an edge in commission currently I have www.remotedaytrader.com wish has .002 per share per trade but I am looking for a more competitive offer.

  2. The only disconnect here is between your brain cells. Not only are you ignorant on the subject at hand but you also have the deductive reasoning of a 10 year old. It's quite amazing anyone alowed you to ever write professionally. I already told why I'm here. Your ignorance entertains me. You have never day traded, you don't know a single successfull dyi day trader so why exactly are you here talking about things you have zero knowledge about? Go collect likes and views in your laughable journal and leave this section to people who actually make a career in this.

  4. Another tell regarding "succesful" diy day traders--- they are very nasty folks, apparently.

    Thanks, surf.

  5. Maybe not nasty, just frustrated by their own curve fitting producing totally random results. So they are constantly on the edge not knowing if the next bet is going to win or lose. They keep telling themselves their average will come out OK, but deep down they know there is no such assurance. So they take their frustration out on others.

  6. well thats trading, nothing is a sure thing. but you work continously to increase the odds in your favour.
    like for example deploying your fav patterns in several similar behaving non correlated markets.

  7. One curve fitting produces random results, so the solution is to have multiple random results to make it less random ? Funny that.

  8. EUR/NZD wasn't moving right in a news event. So had to reel it in. 235 pips profit. Another trade that I didn't call out previously is also shown. 220 pips for EUR/USD. Since I allow others to call out trades already in profit, I can allow myself this privilege too. But I see no reason to over-do it. Currently, 5 more arrows still in the wild seeking pips.

  9. Adding 2 more arrows for more action. Even though the OP is making a day trading thread and my trades are not day trades, I can still say I put in trades every day - more than I can say for the supposed "successful" day traders. I must be short biased. 5 out of 7 arrows are shorts.

    Yeah, markets are so random, I wonder why equities have been going up for decades.

    Who broke the random number generator??? Does it need an update to Windows 8?
