Ok, I'm figuring this out. It's been taking some time. But I'm not sure I understand bracket orders. I have an existing sell limit order that I'd like to modify. Maybe this is a bonehead question... but I'm needing to leave my screens for a while. Can I essentially have two sell orders in...

Hey, Gann... I sent you a PM. Send me an Email? andre@elitetrader.com

In fact, is the connection between us so tenuous, so anonymous that if one of us perished from the earth let alone from this arena we call trading would anyone on this board know or care? I don't think it's all that tenuous. I've met many people from the online realm face to face. There is...

If history repeats, then according to Ritter the United States will lose in Iraq, just as we did in Vietnam. With that said, would the current actions by the U.S. be consider "legal" let alone constitutional, and is there ever a meaningful, and sustainable reward for anything that is not done...

I'll be reading and posting sometimes. I'm calling myself a swing trader. It's all I can do now. And though I do want to day trade for a spell, I will return to swing trading. Position size? My problem was wanting to trade 1,000 but not being able to do it with decent companies. I do...

Bone: I trade against the market. I do not compete against you. I compete against a distillation of opinion regarding price that is captured in a moment in time. Very well said. To answer your question, Burger... I think I can do it because I think people are sheep in many ways and I've...

You know, the reasons why one might follow another trader's journal is to use him/her as sort of an indicator. True, if you follow someone and don't think for yourself or grow beyond, then your upside is limited. That's putting it mildly. But following a journal can be a good way to learn...

Yep, David Goodboy, aka marketsurfer will be joining us in the ET chat room tomorrow, during market hours, for a lively & irreverent discussion on Wednesday, April 2nd at Noon EST. Find more info here, no foolin'! André

SSFs might be my first foray into futures. But I'd still like a better understanding of how futures work in general. Does anyone have a source or book that they recommend that explains the rudimentary concepts of futures? André

I've found that the longer you go at this the simpler it gets and you get. From my work with Innerworth and here on Elite Trader, I've now spoken to many traders. I've read the main interview books most folks have read, and of course Innerworth's interviews... If there's one thing that's...

I tried to ask about the 97% number, whether that was total return, or from some valley to peak, but the question did not go through. Did you check the log Optional? I saw your peak to valley question, but thought he had addressed it already. I found this: trader99 (Mar 26, 2003 5:11:31...

I do think Surf's point in ego has some validity. But I also think people start funds because they want to be able to scale, ie: they're frustrated with their capital levels. There are plenty of under-funded individual traders who wish they could trade 30K instead of 5K. And there are...

Thanks for the laugh Mondo. Its time that members know that their moderators are here to bash patriotism in all its forms ::chuckles:: I told my wife at breakfast that you called me a pacifist, and she about spit her coffee out! I live in a liberal little college town, and I'm steadily...

I think it's totally hilarious that I got called a pacifist. By the way, I have yet to delete a post in the message boards. I am a staunch capitalist. The more I observe people, the more I feel the best solutions are market driven ones. Anyway, right now I'm basically market neutral. I'm...

I'd like to thank Aaron Schindler and the folks from FFastTrade for taking the time to be with us in the Elite Trader chat room yesterday. But just as important, is an audience. We're able to bring in guests because they know they'll have an audience! Thanks, everyone for attending. André

this is an american web site located in Orlando, Fl USA and they are bound by american laws and american ethical standards and almost everybody who uses it is an american. The owner is well aware of this. Just because it exists on the world wide web doesn't mean it is exempt from any laws or...

Just want to bump this up to the top. And yes, chat logs are usually loaded within a half hour of the end of event. André

In response to this comment: And to prevent him from signing on as another poster, the system should monitor the IP and e-mail addresses of new posters and compare them to suspended posters. Baron replied: The system does that already, but since most people using cable modems, DSL lines, and...

It would be nice that we could post about firms that are not ET sponsors, I heard that they delete certain post that are from none sponsors firms. Wercurna, I believe you're mistaken. Members can post about any products or services germane to trading. That is fine. That's what makes online...
