I truly believe if we were to look beyond the anonymity of these online forums we'd see some really disturbed people behind many of the postings. The only reason I'm on here now is I take off the month of august and frankly have quite a buzz going tonight anticipating a month of relaxation so I...

I pretty much agree for the most part. I also antied up the $300 fee to see what the "logic" method was about and can't say that I got much more than $300 worth of value from it. I certainly would not attend one of his seminars. I don't think that one can take the perfect rules and really be...

I believe a version of Zeroline trader is due out very soon which will support multiple accounts. www.zerolinetrader.com

I know what you mean if we're interpreting the word serendiptity the same way. I had some experiences as a very young child while living in New Mexico that set the seed, then spent some time as an adolescent in South America where I learned more of the same. The reality of my experiences...

Sorry.. don't mean to be anal but as one who practices Native American shamanics.. it's Cherokee Shaman not cherekee shawman :) tell us about your sweat lodge stuff.. or did you see that on gunsmoke?

buy a hardware firewall. I use a Cisco Pix along with Mcaffe on every pc in my network and have yet to have a single outage in over 2 years of trading full time.... knock on wood :)

definitely request jtrader standalone. I've been using it for years and it's heads above the java version. I've used xtrader and the main thing I liked about it was it was very stable compared to jtrader which will occasionally lose it's price feed for some reason which never happened with...

How true.. Don't forget the advisor or the mentor.. this is the guy who monitors every single thread on ET on average 12 hours per day and has an opinion or answer to just about everything. Leaving the rest of us to wonder.. why doesn't this guy get a life? :)

I don't know if I would say it's amateurish POS. I've been using it for years and it's served me well, better than IB TWS. If you don't do the volume to justify xtrader then jtrader is fine. Personally although I use xtrader I find myself still trading my jtrader account for ES most of the time.

advanced futures clearing thru ghco. the standalone(non java) version is a stable platform although not as solid as xtrader but then xtrader cost a monthly platform fee where jtrader is free. ghco has always provided me excellent customer service. I believe xtrader with ghco is $650, velocity is...

If you're paying $750 for jtrader you might want to shop around. I pay no platform fee for jtrader and have better commission rates than IB plus I get excellent service. Clearing thru ghco. Actually I believe that $1/rt of my commissions goes to a platform fee but no fixed monthly fee and as I...

Just an fyi to pass on a learning experience I recently had. I think I told you that last year I was trading the DAX opening session(I'm in USA east coast) so that's 3:00am my time, taking "power naps" but not getting a solid block of sleep. This past year about a week or 2 before xmas I...

you trading for profit or excitement?

I know what you mean. For me it at this point in my development it means walking away and cooling down. I didn't catch the magnitude of the DAX move that you caught this morning but I did short ES at 27.5 so it's about the same and I was happy with my trading overall. What I did was to take a...

You sound like you're at a horse race. For someone who's protrays himself as being so much under control of the mental game you sure do get excited :)
