work on longer time frames and trade 1 strategy till your a master at that then move on to other strategies. also dont follow to many markets focus on just a few.

no indicator is a "holy grail" just like a caprenter who can not build a house with just a hammer, trading is the same way. Sim trade for a few months if not 6 months. start with only 1 lots have a 2% stop every day 10% stop for the month, take your time. If you want to play football you...

i have to agree this is the greatest indicator ever created. hey is that uranus on the opening bar?

whats the point of having 2 balls? you can get along fine with only 1 nut. hell you can get along fine having no balls. Me i like to have both my nuts. If you can trade at an airport with only 1 nut hell all the more power to you. lol.

here's some advice for all you guys that has saved my ass several times. When you lose 10% of your account, STOP trading live for the rest of the month and go to a sim account. refine your system and correct the mistakes you were making in the sim environment. this will allow you to learn and...

why dont u get a t5400. i got mine from dell and they are great. No problems at all. i did get some more memory but that was it.
