    Does volume figure into your trading?

    I agree; you cannot win if you are happy. But being angry I wouild lose too cause I go into revenge trading. I like to trade with sad music on high volume - the kind that makes you cry. An example would be Frijid Pinks - House of the Rising Sun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t40INnb6DnY

    Dell monitor question

    The 30 inch has a dot pitch of .250 so it will be comparable in sharpness with the 20 inch but more than twice the real estate. In my case, i like the 22 inch dot pitch of .282, just the right size text for my eyes.

    Need advice on trading computer, and monitors

    In my experience, it is best to view charts using the monitor's native resolution. However, the pixel size may affect comfortable viewing. Generally the larger the monitor the smaller the pixel size and therefore the smaller the objects (text) on the screen. I find the best compromise for...

    Trading for a living; only very few can

    I agree that a large part of trading involves intuition. After all if one is targeting 2-4 ES points per trade (like yours truly) one has got to have a gut feel for when prices bounce. A case can be made that ADD leads to this intuition due to extreme focus given to the subject that we love...
