How many of you play the pick 3 lottery on a consistent basis but almost never win? It is reality that there is a massive share of lottery players that don't win, or don't win consistently enough to cover what they pay out on tickets. Whether or not you play for fun or amusement, I'm positive you still wish to win. No one wants to just play "for fun" and lose on a consistent basis...where is the fun in that right?The truth is that...more

I was not long ago checking a number of performance databases of numerous trading systems and CTAs and noticed that nearly all the monitoring services have some type of a "hot list". These were usually a list of the best performing systems or CTAs over a given period. The typical time frames for calculating performance were usually 30 days, 90 days and a year. These listings are of appeal to many readers since they are consistently reported by all the leading tracking services year after year. The question is this...Are those lists of any value?It has long been my contention that such information is near meaningless. I have always felt that the best performing systems and CTAs of the past were not likely to be the best performing ones moving forward. To test my theory, I accumulated data from several of the top performance reporting sites. What I wanted to see was the previous year's best performers to compare them to the best performers of the next year. The idea was to see if last year's winners were a reliable predictor of next year's winners.The results of comparing many years of previous performance to the subsequent years of performance were as I expected. The...more

Number one, let's make this completely clear - It matters NOT how many Pips you make each day, week or month. What matters most is HOW those Pips are made. And by this we do not mean that it matters what instrument you trade, when you trade, how many times you trade, how substantial your trading account is, etc. No, it's much simpler than that."Newbies" (a word we personally hate) often get lured by sales and promotional material with headlines such as 50 Pips A Day, 200 Pips A Week, etc. The material more often than not demonstrates no end of winning trades, "unsolicited" testimonials, fabricated performance coupled with constant peddling by those interested only in lining their own pockets.We are not implying that all vendors do this but there are many that do. However, even if we can trust the enticing headlines we need ask just one primary question and apply some basic maths to tell us a lot of more of what we REALLY need to know.BHow Both trade cable (GBPUSD) and are Simple once a day Set & Forget systems.
