I'm trying to focus on taking a couple of prime set ups a day. Doing a quick scalp method I paid for, just never fit and stresses me out. Started out pretty conservative and seems like I'm headed back that way.

True. My better trades come from larger volume based charts. smaller volume can have you flip and reversing all over the place. trying to catch the runner.

wow looked like a nice day so far. No post, trades, charts today as we have power outage. tried to wait it out, but has taken 5 hours. generator up and running. will hopefully be here tomorrow.

Nice to have a positive day. I have never been able to endure the swings you do. My 2 problems are waiting for a pullback once I see momentum in my direction and taking profits where it is reasonable to. I hold to long often, when a target or even tight trail would be a better decision. Need to...

will this turn into overnight hold at 4pm? or market at close?

what does TDFJIP mean?

Hey B1S2 . I was here long ago. Followed your posts along the way. Been away from markets and elitetrader for a long time. I had a question for you about results from back then. You were expecting markets to drop in the 2008_2009 period. Said you were buying in at every drop of 10percent. Would...

I really think you should ask yourself if you want to trade. Was your interest more about your relationship? Are you just thinking of going back in because you think he would want you to continue? Maybe you have other interests away from trading to use some of the $. I would think you godfather...

Hello, I'm looking to move Roth IRA's to somewhere less expensive with more options of what I can put into the IRA. Limited to end of day mutual funds and such now. Anyone have some experience with any in particular discount brokers? Thanks
