    Why Forex isn't Fastlane....

    14% in a single trade is the kind of result that's not sustainable. There are people most every month that win millions, sometimes over 100 million, playing the lottery as well. I believe successful trading is boring and irritating, scraping out tiny gains and taking one step back for every...

    Expert advisor == lots of coding. If you're up for that the official docs at docs.mql4.com are surprisingly good as far as software documentation goes. If you feel completely lost in space reading those, you need more programming experience before tackling something like an EA. There are...

    Gamblers - what's your game?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That's why I play the lottery. Where else do you get a shot at winning literally hundreds of millions in cash for risking just one or two dollars? Sometimes (not often, but sometimes) the risk/reward even goes above breakeven!

    Gamblers - what's your game?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Wow! Wouldn't have guessed that...from what you said before (in the comet lander post) you didn't strike me as the kind of guy to enthusiastically dive into something as math-heavy as Black-Scholes and volatility surfaces... Options are great, though. Even with just "seat of the pants"...

    How to go from 0 to 1

    Depends what skills you have. I've gotten gigs on elance that paid significantly more than my day job. But then again I put in the 10,000 hours doing computer stuff before that event...

    Disclaimer: I haven't used myfxbook or metatrader for some years. However, if it still works the same way, you either give them the read-only password to your account (easier, doesn't always work right with all brokers though) or run the EA or indy that pushes up your trade stats in real time...

    Gamblers - what's your game?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Except this is a deck of cards, so the events are not independent. If you're playing with a single deck and 3 queens have been played, but no kings so far, the probability of a king appearing is much higher than a queen. The problem is how to determine you're in a streak before the streak has...

    Why Forex isn't Fastlane....

    I think this is what trips up a lot of novice traders with small accounts. The 12k figure is irrelevant...what percentage of their account does that 12k represent? If that's a 500k account it's a 2.4% gain...nice but hardly spectacular. When I was still active in forex I'd see the pro guys...

    How Much Has Content-Based Business Changed?

    PUBLISHING 
    Powtoons is the kind of thing I was thinking of. Imagine a founder being able to take a selfie video against a white office wall, and something like powtoons blends in background video + animation making it look like a professional spot. I expect to see a lot more of this kind of generated...

    How Much Has Content-Based Business Changed?

    PUBLISHING 
    Not to hijack this thread, but is there a "wordpress for video" yet? Something a step beyond just screencapping a PowerPoint presentation, but that still lets you crank out video with heavy use of premade material, the same way WP lets you crank out websites using premade themes. As someone...

    The Appreneur Path; iOS and Android apps/games

    EXECUTION 
    You don't have to rewrite everything from scratch if you made judicious choices from the start. I know a guy who recently published a game that runs on IOS, Android, OSX, Windows, and Linux...and he wrote the entire system himself. Probably not the route I would go but this was a one-person...

    Wastefulness by Design

    This post is in the "Slowlane" subforum, for a good reason. Not only is the article about slowlaners, but it's written from a slowlane mindset.

    List Organizer (software / app)

    Funny, was just telling some friends earlier I'm going to learn emacs org-mode this year so I have more effective todo lists than just plain text files...but I doubt you'll want to go that route! Then again don't discount simple and pragmatic solutions. Some combination of google calendar and...

    Importing and the Fastlane

    SOURCING 
    Been reading about some of the importing businesses people are starting or running, and just had two questions. 1) Commandment of entry - If you're just ordering stuff from Alibaba and reselling it, what's stopping anyone else from doing the same? Where's the barrier to entry? What's the USP...

    Want to fulfill this need for myself

    If you've never made an app don't worry about value or marketplace or anything like that. You need to learn how to make apps first, and you'll need to make a few before you can make something worth putting up on the app store. You may find you don't really like coding - or maybe you'll love...
