Yes, this is a magical thread. Don't believe in magic? How naive of you. At the end of this thread, every brokerage firm out there will read our wishes and grant them to us. Instantly. Trading Santa will make it so. He operates in summer, not Christmas, so don't worry we're good on that front...

Completely agree, and I'm well aware of this. The point that I was trying to make is not whether such a platform would make someone a winning trader. They would need a positive expectancy method to begin with to make money. But what I was saying is that it should improve the odds of making...

apparently the first 100 people to see this thread don't think this is a great idea. or they just haven't realized the genius of it. lol

Based on my own trading for several years, and all the books and research I've read out there, it seems to me that the two biggest reasons for trading losses (and ultimately failure) are incorrect position sizing and not keeping stops properly. All the other "sexier" things like entry set-ups...

What has worked for me is to NOT fight the ego, because when you fight it, that's just your ego coming in the back door, so to say. The best thing is to be aware of your thoughts and resistance, and to accept and welcome them without getting caught up in them. This is not easy to do, and it...

Its not so much the learning path but the crazy-ass language you were using. If anyone on this site, no matter their level of experience, can decipher what u said, I must say I'd be impressed! lol

Quick question. I'm an ES day trader that trades decent size (up to 100+ lots) and will be trading much bigger size soon (1000+ lots) when I start managing investor money other than my own. I'm looking to broaden out my scope and expand my repertoire by also day trading stocks, which is...

most software packages can do that. I have e-signal and all you have to do to create a spread chart is to type one symbol, press space bar, then minus sign, space bar, then other symbol. example: YM #F - NQ #F. You can also put a +, / , or * sign.

Thanks everyone for your recommendations. I appreciate the help and will look into the softwares you mentioned.

Thank you Prince-in-jail. Multi-charts looks like a great software. I appreciate the help!

I just wrote a post a couple days ago asking if anyone knew of a software that has a tabs feature that allows you to display numerous different charts side by side on a single tab, and then have other tabs with different charts. Ex: a news tab, a market internals tab, a global markets tab etc...
