Interesting viewpoint but I (respectfully) disagree with you. Somehow, my experience has been the exact opposite. More along the lines: "There is nothing new under the sun and, least of all in speculation" (Livermore) & "The more things change, the more they stay the same". Happy...

Ditto. Ripley, I have been there. Believe me, this is NOT trading. This is self-mutilation.:( You are doing a lot of damage to your psyche. Step back and regain your emotional composure. The markets will still be there.

I am using TradeStation 8.0 and I really like it. You do NOT need to be a brokerage client to subscribe to TradeStation platform. They just give you a $100 per month discount if you have a brokerage account with them. Good Luck.

I agree completely. Overtrading should not be defined in terms of the number of trades you take. Even two trades in a day is overtrading if you are going outside your pre-determined trading rules to take these trades (i.e. if you are acting on your internal urges and impulses). As for...

Flash, You don't have to write a public reply to my post but it might give you some food for thought. Were you an abused child? (Physically or emotionally). I had a very wealthy but very harsh childhood. Growing up under extremely strict disciplinarians, my entire psyche revolved...

Hi Truff, Is this ProActive TradeMaven using the PATS feed or have they made some other arrangement? If it is using PATS, how is it working out for you so far? Is the PATS feed really as bad as many claim it to be? Thanks for any info.

I had the same problem with the lag in the demo. I have been told that the real thing does not have this slight lag. The commission rate is really good but I believe that if you do less than 360 R/T per month there is a prorated software fee of upto $400. I know a couple of...

Very nicely said. And you can manage to make good entries by 'scaling-in' in the direction of the trend. Even if no single entry is perfect, on average the entries will turn out to be good enough to make very profitable exits (most of the time).

Monee, Nice post on a very good thread. Over the years, I have had to deal with all of the above (A-F) scenarios (and the affiliated psychological feelings that are brought into play) at least a few hundred times. However, what hurt me the most (financially and psychologically) would be...

Mafia, Very nice setup. I noticed that there is a button marked 'EMERGENCY' right above your LCD monitors. What is that for? Does it provide some urgent help when the market starts moving in the wrong direction?:D :D

Jay, I tried IQFeed (DTNIQ) about a year ago. I didn't find it slow but did have a lot of problems with erroneous data ("bad ticks"). In your view, has there been any significant improvement in that regard (e.g. improved filtering of data)? Thanks. mrmoose63, I have used ESignal...

For most 'Traders', it is probably a much cheaper way to spend the day. Trading (especially intra-day) can be a very expensive hobby.:D :D :D

Negative. There are several FCM's offering Ninja with non-PATS feeds. Open E Cry has by far the best setup. Other I.B's (e.g. Alaron I.B's ) should also look into this kind of setup. With a good feed, Ninja is hard to beat. Cheers. Edit: I inadvertently typed Transact instead of...

Samson77, Thanks for your response. Despite your tantrum and the sermonizing about the saintly nature of Woodie, my question remains unanswered. It is a very simple question: "Does Woodie take kickbacks from his vendors in exchange for promoting their products?" Whether he gets it in...

Tampa and anyone else who might know. I have never been a member of Woodie's CCI room but I have thought about joining. Would anyone know if Woodie has ever confirmed or denied these allegations that he gets 'kickbacks' (i.e. commissions) from E-Signal and/or HotComm. ? Any and all...
