Moved to FL in 1989 and have traded retail full time since then, and the advent of practical internet/computers/data etc. Basically have always traded big cap Nasdaq stocks intraday and overnight. Plenty of action, only your lack of imagination limits potential. Specialize, hit singles daily...

Has anyone taken their online free training demo for the e-mini? Firm is out of Houston, and demo was offered to me through SFO mag. Not sure if they are pushing their brokerage services or a future advanced pay course. If you have gone through it, how does it stack up? Thanks.

Let me add to the cogent comments of AAAintheBeltway & WarEagle to also thank Mr Smith for his inspirational writings and his wonderful way with words while describing not only his trading style but also his trials and tribulations dealing with the market. It's a mind game and a mine field out...

I notice it is a chart of the $SPX: yet you are looking for trading opps in the ES.

my experience has been that the time a trader can remain focused on what they are doing is approx 20 trading days. This is unfortunate because it keeps the trader from reaching that next level of improvment just by the fact that one gets better by doing the same thing over and over. We all want...

I don't doubt that the 3-day clearing rule is indeed the "LAW"; and also that one can never use margin in an IRA. However, in my opinion, enforcement of the 3-day clearing rule is discretely up to the individual broker's own enforcement policies. I have been trading my IRA up to its max everyday...

not to put too fine a point on it, but I live, play, and trade on the coast in Sarasota FL; and it rivals any of those places mentioned above, and based on the list of who's who moving in, others agree who have the resources to live anywhere in the world. Plus FL is a no income tax state which...

sometimes it feels like 'myanus', a large island south of my brain but that's ok as long as I get the daily trend right!!

for perspective, I have an advanced degree from MIT and have been trading for over 30 years, yet when I look at my trading library I only have 10 books in it, all the rest were given away to fellow traders who wanted that 'hot' book to read. One of the books still on my shelf is Mindtraps, which...

oops I meant at Best Buy Stores in Sarasota FL

Best buy Mag 18.1" $399. check it out, nice combo of size and specs. Flying off shelf today.

thanks guys; I can't tell you how annoying those popups are!! I tried j medved's link, and simply checked the network box(this is microsoft's recommended fix) and it is working so far. If it fails later I will indeed remove the program from XP as 'optional' has indicated. What a f**king waste...

I'm trying to trade or in general just use my computer and those annoying windows messenger grey box pop ups appear constantly. I've been clicking them off but now I'm really getting pissed. Does anyone know how to rid my computer of this spam? I can't believe I'm the only one getting bothered...
