Takes 6-10 just to trade real estate!

I'm 25 years old and for work, I'm a trader for an asset manager in the area.

The great billionaire market trader Paul Tudor Jones talks about a 5:1 risk/reward ratio.

How it works is as follows, say on a US$100K investment:investor/lender converts CAN to US at today's rate $0.78 costs approx CAN$130K (with trader commissions)investor/lender then locks in to buy the CAN$130K back at today's rate, cost is generally 5% of amount or in this case would be $6500the forward contract is generally good for one year, so be sure to sell the property within that timeframe since if you do not fulfill the contract, your 5% option is forfeitedso let's say the CAN dollar goes to $0.85, then you'd need approx US$110K to repay the CAN $130K, but with the forward you are locked in at the $0.78 so only the original US$100KThe only downside is that the FX trader commissions are approx $0.005 on both the buy/sell transaction so you're down a full cent on the trade.  

I know the stop-loss is a core tool for most professional traders, I am curious as to how those of us investing in index funds might use it.

I am a currency and commodities trader.

same is true for any new Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, or if there's an area that has recently seen a number of new fast food chains enter the marketplace. 

Inventory is so tight now that I try and keep all that I buy since deals are so hard to come by in this market.The majority of wholesalers in South Florida, or at least all the lists that I am on, are nothing but daisy chain property traders.

In some cases, I've heard of traders that sabotage trades because once all of their notes are sold, they'll be out of a job.
