    big transactions in e-minis

    Careful with that thing... you don't know if those big lots are opening or closing a trade. You might mistake a 100-lot ER2 trade as going long, when they were actually covering a short!

    You Only Need $5000 to Make a Living

    Then I guess my weekly profit distributions really don't happen. I guess my standard of living is all just a dream. I'm not really typing this on my laptop as I take a dump during a trade. I'm not really living in a home paid in cash by trading. If what you say is true, then I guess I will be...

    How do you stay focused during the day?

    I work out. I had a special desk built around my treadmill so I can trade while I sweat. I moved my weights and gear into my trading office, since I turned 40 and figured out it was harder to keep weight off than it used to be. I didn't want to turn into a 500-lb blob. All of my alerts give...

    How do you structure yourself financially for trading full time?

    Seriously, to answer your question: Pay your bills six months in advance. Setup an LLC or C-corp to provide your wife and her family (including you) insurance coverage (as a single-member LLC, you cannot provide insurance for yourself directly). Meet with a CPA to map out your financial plan...

    Need Tax advice !!! Stay retail or form an LLC if you make $200-300K per year?

    That's easy. The wife as an employee of the corp or LLC gets full medical/dental/vision/fishing lessons for her entire family... which includes YOU, the owner, and all of your young children. Work the wife part-time only, just enough to pay for the benefit premiums, and in your benefit...

    so i got millions, now what?

    Cute, but you wouldn't be laughing if you knew a few of these wiz kids. They've got game. And money.

    Iraq currency Purchase

    I don't do currency. Holding anything overnight is like screwing a whore and waiting to see if you come down with the clap.

    Is Tarding a game of skill

    Tossing dwarfs... any relation to sex with spinners? Waaaaaaaaay off topic, now.

    Create alerts based on patterns

    I use QuoteTracker for this all the time. If you can nail down which indicator values trigger your system, QT can alert you.

    so i got millions, now what?

    I will try and figure that out after I retire and see my kids through school. Biology maybe? For now, I know of something far more important. It's called family, a legacy, a quiver full, and dozens of grandkids around me when we get old. Eleven seats on a plane going on vacations, and so many...

    Is Tarding a game of skill

    That refers to emotions and trading. They don't mix. That is why automated trading is the new buzzword, because the system is programmed and unemotional. The point well taken is that trading with emotions is unprofitable.

    so i got millions, now what?

    LOL!!! Well, one set of twins, but nine babies crying at once might have moved my trading to an office somewhere. It's bad enough when five girls start yacking at eachother. The worst is when they try to share the bathroom. Did I mention I owned stock in Pampers? j/k

    so i got millions, now what?

    That's how many came out, and we didn't kill them before they were born. Maybe I don't understand the question. The kids ride jet skis, I drive the herd on mine. Try doing that while coasting on 75k per year. To answer the thread's question: Have nine more kids.

    so i got millions, now what?

    Fair question. $70,000 income per year is half of that after all taxes, fees and other non-negotiable governmental goodies, unless you construct financial entities to sidestep the IRS. Two million of savings produces a net of around $75,000 per year. No longer is 75k living the good life, unless...

    To all Vista users out there...

    Ugh, building a PC. I only got my A+ certification so I could upgrade my own machines, but I hate touching other people's boxes. I buy off-the-shelf and improve from there. That way I get a warranty, and with my usage, the warranty usually gets me a new computer every three years for free.

    Which Trading Platform for E-minis

    With respect to ET sponsors, I have used PFG for years, along with QuoteTracker and IB for data. I scalp, so I have no idea what kind of platform you would need if you do not scalp. Their DOM is adequate, their RT commission is $4.10 and their trading desk is fast. Perhaps I am ignorant about...
