is the registration process similar to s7? fingerprint, etc.

Cutten, BTW, which broker do you use to trade Nikkei? Sounds interesting. Do you trade the CME ones or the Osaka ones? And how are the hours like? thanks!

bensy, This is a VERY wise observation. Now, we know why most daytraders both retail and prop don't succeed. With their 5K or 10K deposit of "risk capital", they want to make 100K/yr or even 50K/yr! That's 10x-20x in 1 year! I'm sure many people can become good daytraders, but the mathematics...

"Flat" , trendy, etc. are only OBVIOUS with HINDSIGHT!!! Remember that. I'm sure the millions of investors during the 1910-1950 didn't feel it was "flat". It was quite a roller coaster ride for them to been through the biggest boomtime ever then have NATIONWIDE DEPRESSION that last almost a...

Yes, derivatives are RISK TRANSFERRING instruments. Makes one wonder who will be the last one to hold the bag... I win, you lose. Or you win, I lose. BUt who will really lose? The public? The i-banks? Companies? If it comes all crashing down who will lose?

what do you mean by FLAT from 1910 to 1950? A huge ride up and a huge ride down. Long on the way up. Short on the way down. Flat if you just buy and hold. A lot of actions if you were a trader. People here on ET still don't get it. And they call themselves "traders". Man...

NOt necessarily anymore. IF more American students stop enrolling in science & engineering programs because they think," what's the poing? My job will be outsourced anyways. I might as well get on American Idols or be a daytrader(*grin*), then where will the future steve jobs and bill gates come...

Yeh, I think this is a wonderful thread. Most newbies and even experienced people should READ and beware of the difficulties of daytrading. It's nontrivial to say the least! And stop dreamin' and wake up to reality!

Yep, both YM and ZN were blank. And I knew I wanted to get in for that last bounce. But I didn't see prices for so long I was afraid to get in. Oh well. It has been the same story for me on each Fed announcement. Can never catch the big moves. To add insult to injury, lost a little. Not...

"worst" in terms of what? The retail investors think worst means going down. As traders, we shouldn't care right? Short it! If it goes back up go long. whatever. if you say worst like the range is small then it makes sense. but i HIGHLY DOUBT that's what the Trader's Almanac meant by...

if this is boring then i don't know what kind of actions you are looking for! the last few days, there has been PLENTY of action! plenty of things to trade. both LONG and SHORT. oh well, you are missing out on all the opportunities...

sam, i must have done those same steps over a HUNDRED times yesterday. still nothing works. nothing gets played back! do i need to set something? B/c on AT it keeps on saying "Connection closed" right after opening the es,ym,nq files. seems like it can't find a connection??

dude, this is killing me! I've tried so many combos suggested on that website. Still no playback! What's going on?!

wtf?!! i can't send emails or post anything!! u guys think it's this virus?!

sam, I'm trying to replicate what you are saying. 1) DL & installed AT 2) DL the ensign playback files from the link provided 3) DL and installed SierracCharts 4) File -> Connect -> Ensign Playback File 5) Then it askes me to select something from Sierra Chart?? But that directory is...

Sam, I'm new to AT. I just dl it and dl Ensign playback files. Am I correct to ASSUME that I need Ensign to see the charts again? I thought I read somewhere on AT homepage that one could feed it to Medved QT charts to see the playback files as charts? I quote from the "Features" link of...

jerry, i got another one for ya. can we adjust the candlestick spacing? Like expand and contract? Something that Tradestation and eSignal can do. +/- spacing. it will just be more pleasing on the eyes. Also, there doesn't seem to be scroll bars for the window? Or is it b/c I haven't...

jerry! you da man! it works. i'm all set for now!!

jerry, you are awesome!! you just created another *FAN* of Medved QT! Well, I got a few lingering questions. So, I used Globex:@6Jm4 and 6eM4, which works fine. those are the full yen/euro futures contract. however, on the 6jm4, it only displays up to 4 decimal places. which is not...
