    Portfolio Position With Ib !!!!!!

    I hope there is something wrong, as my account isn't correct. I have a GBP/USD trade open that is nothing to do with me. Very strange.

    The S&P put in another short term bottom on April 11

    Sorry, I thought that as you mention an intra-day low in your first post, you would take notice of a lower intra-day low. How foolish of me.

    The S&P put in another short term bottom on April 11

    OK, I will try again. Do you use stops? This chart shows the area the S&P was when you made your call, after the market was closed and the new low that was lower than you said was going to be the short term bottom on April 11. So where was the stop? I suppose it was 1 point lower than...

    The S&P put in another short term bottom on April 11

    How many of these calls are correct if you use a stop? I remember a few times when you might have been correct but were a few days early and would have been stopped out. Or perhaps you don't use stops?

    Jesse Livermore's trading

    I admire the way he made that money but not the way he then lost all of it. Having lost a fortune once, he then lost an even bigger fortune again. So does this make him a great trader or a gambler? I also read that he married a woman whose previous 4 husbands had all committed suicide. If...

    The S&P just put in another higher short term bottom

    I remember a few of Volente's calls have been bad failures. People seem to ignore those. Another 'T' day failure this tuesday. I only see comments when it works.

    The S&P has bottomed !!!

    Only -11 points so far but is did remind me of one of my favourite Beatles records:) You say you've got everything you want And your bird can sing But you don't get me you don't get me You say you've seen the seven wonders And you bird is green But you can't see me you can't see me...

    And this is why I don't like BB's. Seems to happen far too often.

    3 doesn't touch the BB and 5 is a long time after touching the BB. Easy to see these after the markets are closed but how do you trade those in real time? I would have missed 3 and would probably have given up on 5. 2 and 4 also look tricky, as they only just touch the BB. If you don't...

    YM Traders

    There is probably a much greater than 75% chance of a retrace from an opening move on any day. I can't see any reason to select Mondays and Fridays as the days to go short and Tuesdays and Thusrdays as the days to go long. Just looking at every Monday for the past few years, most of them...

    YM Traders

    I trade for real, no paper trading but I don't post my trades, as I can't see how that helps me. I respect those that do, as long as they don't ask for money:)

    YM Traders

    I am much better than you. How much will you pay me:) Unfortunately, like a lot of people who have spent years working out how to make money trading, I don't have anything to sell. If you could make the amount of points you have displayed here in a week and had a record of trades going...

    Looks like it hit volente_00's exact stop and then reversed.

    YM Traders

    I know you are modest but you forgot about your contributions. It wouldn't be the same without you going on about your fantastic system that for some reason you don't trade. And the number of times you have made your last post here, or you are no longer going to be negative only to see you...

    Don't forget it is contract rollover day today (at least I hope it is, having changed all my charts), so the YM goes from Dec 05 to Mar 06 at the open. Probably wont affect the paper traders and system developers but I am sure there are a few real traders who might find it useful:) Hope...
