GD2KNO, your comment kind of reminds me how women in self defense classes often first have to simply learn how to yell NO! (before they can in turn be aggressive enough in how they carry themselves) to repel aggression. Saying no is sometimes so hard to do for some women. I've often heard...

doctors have excelled in school by being right, or being told they are right, or by giving the conditioned response to a test. they get the "right" or generally accepted answer and are rewarded. The reason why the brilliant or educated don't often succeed is indeed because they are...

metooxx: All censorship is bad Quote from LongShot: no it isn't metooxx: And why might that be? Well, take this silly thread... it detracts from the subject matter. Which is trading. A discussion on censorship can be good for a community. But look at how even that strayed onto some...

He asked no questions of performance, he asked nothing of fees. He just wanted the Harris Kupperman treatment. (so to speak). Hey, umm... I want the Harris Kupperman treatment! I think. Does it come with a backrub or foot massage?

Try www.abebooks.com it's a good site for looking for out of print books. While on the subject, I posted about this a while ago... I have a 1920s printing of Reminisinces of a Stock Operator. But it doesn't have the dust jacket. I'm kind of a book collector. I held off getting the book...

But I want to know why people daytrade stocks instead of futures. Is it really less risky than the futures? I'd bet it has to with understanding the overall market. From www.investorwords.com : futures A standardized, transferable, exchange-traded contract that requires delivery of a...

I think I may be a scalper. Never really thought of myself as one. I guess I imagined myself being a swing trader. Coming from the long term buy and hold mentality, maybe that was/is easier for me to accept. I dunno. I have learned how you need to baby-sit your positions if you scalp...

I keep track of my overall P/L on a spreadsheet. I often look at it during the day, but then I don't have it open all the time.

It BOTHERS me that it bothers me... ::laughs:: Hey, we all have issues! I kind of agree with where (I think) you're going, that if you come up with a fix like taking the P/L off daily screens... that's not really -dealing- with the issue. Or isn't it? Is overly focusing on something...

Download QuoteTracker version 2.5.0d. It is their bata and it seems to work good. Good luck using IB's data. Unless your not a big tape reader then I guess it not that bad. I just got use to watching a fast tape with esignal and to go from that to IB's feed, I can't do it. ANCHOR, interesting...

Nitro... some traders say that looking at one's P/L during the day is a sure recipe for pulling untimely trades. It's a distraction to your strategy. I've heard several say that they've removed their P/L -entirely- from their daily screens. That might be a way to remove the emotional aspect...

I've been trading with IB recently, getting to know it. And I use QuoteTracker, currently with an Ameritrade data feed. I haven't downloaded the beta version that is (finally) supposed to be able to use IB's data feed. Has anyone been using it? I'm also curious what feeds people use with...

inandlong: Would someone who voted "NO" on the poll explain their position. I voted no because I'd imagine their margins are pretty thin already. I'm pretty durned happy with IB. No, I don't trade incredible scale, and I may never. But if I ever am able to do scale, it will be because I...

and know that all the great Market Wizards are too busy to mentor us common folk Not to be picky or anything, but this is a tad untrue. Ed Seykota takes on new clients. Scott Kaminski takes on new clients. It's true, Kaminski isn't technically a "Market Wizard", however, he worked for...

It's true, Ed Seykota is no longer with Galt Capital. I'm not sure how actively he's currently trading. He still does seminars and coaches. I cannot speculate on his fees, but I do know that he only takes on clients who are interested in working with him over a longer period of time.

MainFramer: The prefect companion book to Reminiscences is Richard Smitten's Jesse Livermore: World's Greatest Stock Trader. That's another book on my reading list. It moved up the list with my recent completion or Reminiscences of a Stock Operator... fascinating book. Helped me to better...

It's hard not to be a fan of QuoteTracker.

ameritrade? scottrade? please.. i need direct access, not those glorified email brokers. For what it's worth, Ameritrade's commissions are too high for my current share size. However, I like their interface, stops have worked, etc. My response has been pretty fast in my limited trading...

I've been meaning to comment on the two posts by aca123 and Amadeus Mozart since I made my way back here on the 19th. Amadeus is a regular, and I think has some valid points... about what people want. People really want a method, first. It is hard to focus on something more esoteric, like...
