I've been day trading for 22 years. One of the biggest lessons I have learned over time is that OVER-ANALYSIS EQUALS PARALYSIS! I used to over-think way too much and this caused considerable opportunity loss. In my case, the key to highlyconsistent and proffitable trading is subconscious...

I had a pair of Comcast construction dept. field reps come out today and re-evaluate my situation after contacting the Comcast CEO's office. The "discovered" a trunk feeder cable right on the edge of my property which they can tap into, for no cost! Persistence pays! Thanks again to all for the...

Maxpi I'm thinking I will go with ATT/Cingular and use their wireless PC air card which will give a 300 to 400 kbs connection which is about 6 to 10x my dial up. It connects to my Dell PC and should have enough range to the transmitter. Thank you all for your helpful comments.

Lorenzo I go for 1 to 4-point profits, or more, not 1/4 point profits. Thanks for the recommendations of other vendors though. Today I earned 34.5 points on 12 trades ($1725 per 1-lot - a very big day thanks to the potential key reversal in the bonds. One trade was for 6 full points in the...

Lorenzo: I use market orders and use the trading platform to enter the trades by clicking the buy and sell buttons. I buy dips and go for 1 to 4-point moves about 10 times per day. I don't need sophisticated trade analysis or order exectution as I have been day trading for over 20 years and...

DSL is not currenty available from ATT on my street as I live in a rural area. Satellite is my only current option. I wonder if cellular service through a PC modem would be possible or cost-effective.

Ferraris are fabulous cars. In terms of visceral sight appeal they practically stand alone. They have some significant disadvantages however: 1. They are extremely costly to service and repair. 2. They have less than ideal reliability. 3. They are cop magnets. Especially in the “arrest me...

After 35 years of trading I have learned one thing for sure - all markets and all economies oscillate. Right now the US has had a great run for the last several decades. Our GDP puts most other countries to shame. It is sobering to note that about 40 great civilizations have come and gone from...

I believe that trading can be gambling or speculation, depending on how good trader you are. If you have no clue about what you are doing you are a gambler. If you have a methodical and proven trading system that makes money year after year you are a speculator. One definition I like is " If the...

It has been widely reported that 1% of the inhabitants of this planet earn about 96% of the money! This is not often due to talent, intelligence or hard work. The primary reason is that those 1% think differently that the other 99%. They have specialized knowledge of the metaphysics of money. Of...

Jesus whipped the moneychangers out of the temple because they were defiling God's house by making it a house of mechandise; not because moneychanging itself was anti-Christian. If you read the parable of the talents in Matthew 25: 14-31 you will also note that Jesus praised the man who...

This is a common problem for many traders. I've found it very useful over the years to look at trading as placing a series of loaded bets, rather than paralyzing yourself by trying to know in advance that trade is a winner, which is clearly impossible. If you had a set of loaded dice that won...
