These are tough market conditions and preservation of capital should be #1. Very few people can make consistent (day-to-day) profits in such bear markets. Friday was no exception... however, CNBC talked as though it was all very well planned. I was up Tues, Weds, and Fri, but down on Mon...

Moving uptown I see! If the weather is nice I might stop at River's @6:00 then walk uptown and meet up with the rest of the group. Cheers, JT

See you there... but my outfit will be a surprise.

INST... what happened to INCA?

tomorrow afternoon? End of month/quarter... time to take stock of ones trading performance. Cheers, Joe T.

Good to be home... thanks. Hope to hook up again soon. Check out Mark Whistler's website www.pairstrader.com. His book will be published soon by Wiley press. JT

I have been using Qcharts for 6 months now. In Nov. and Dec. last year there was a period where data feed was very poor... perhaps related to addition of a new server farm in Florida. But in the last few weeks my feed has been spot on. I use Qcharts with the Assent Hammer platform and know...

Anyone up for a beverage after the close tomorrow? Quad-Witches make me thirsty... man, this market stinks! Global economy looks dodgy too. I'm short everything but oil. My gloomy outlook sure could use some cheer beer. Cheers, Joe T

the "Mother of all shorts"!

Hello Mortimer! Count me in... perhaps next time we can actually talk a little about trading. Poag Mahone in the Insurance Exchange bldg... another suggestion perhaps the Berghof? I'm off to Cameroon next Monday but will be back March 3. Cheers

Thanks for the oanda.com suggestion... interesting site. Tradestation is a platform I may graduate to one day... when/if I chose to consolidate accounts. Right now it is a little more than I need and would just as soon avoid additional monthly service/data fees. I'm leaning towards Refco...

It was sure nice meeting with all of you guys and I hope we can do it again soon. I'm sorry to miss the 28th but hope we can schedule something again the following month. Cheers, Joe T.

I have been trading stocks (day/swing) successfully for about 4 years now and am interested in opening an account to trade FX. I'm familier with the Rediplus and Hammer Platforms, first with On-site and currently with Assent (remote). I have looked at Refco and IB. Are there any others I...
