There are times to daytrade and there are times not to. Too many people feel that they have to get involved in the markets everyday by doing something. The fact is, its out of bad habit. There are traders who put on way too much size and force themselves into daytrades without even knowing...

Posting this shit after the futures market opens with a gap down doesn't make you look like a genius. The market will do whatever it wants to do regardless of what you think. This is the problem with 90% of retail traders - trying to guess market direction. So they put up 500 technical...

shortie, you are so wishy washy it makes me puke. You come out strong with a premise to start this thread: Then try to back up your assertion by using a weekly chart with a bollinger and try to draw comparison between 2003 and 2010. Finally, you come up with a summary that is totally...

Thats one sweeping generalization. Since when do you speak for the majority of Elitetrader? As some are explaining to you, you got your ways of trading and others got theirs. Some here in this thread are telling you why they use multiple monitors. Maybe you should read between the lines and...

Don't knock it if you cannot process information this way. Any trader for a major institution doesn't work with one monitor. There are reasons for it.

December 4, 2009: June 2010 6e Euro futures hover at 1.50/contract. Sat in airport staring at screen. Typed in 45 contracts in little white box. Sat there thinking "pull the damn trigger". Flight attendant announces plane boarding. Closed notebook and went on plane. Just couldn't pull the...

You are way underfunded. The market is not volatile enough to have any movement for where you can grow your money fast. Comeback when you have a bigger stake.

Started 21 years ago in 1988. Timeline --------------- 1988-1999 Took life savings and put in 3 mutual funds. +578% return. Easiest trade of my life. Mid 1999-Mid 2002 Did not trade. Mid 2002 - today Took 40% of capital and put back into mutual funds. +112% return since...

He (and many on here) need to lose it all to really understand that the pursuit of money wasn't and isn't their life calling.

I hadn't checked this thread in over 2 months. Sorry to say Neke, but you are not going to make it in this game if you don't learn to put in what I call "disaster prevention" rules to stop you from blowing up. You should have time framed drawdown rules in your business plan. Here are my...

Fibonacci. LOLOLOL You people are so fucking stupid believing in this mystic numerical time series bullshit. Take 100 milk bottles and put a lable on them from 1 to 100. Line them up randomly in a shooting range. Grab a 12 gauge shot gun and fire three times randomly into the bottles. You...

Hahaha I'm laughing so hard at the title of this journal that I just spewed a 2006 Chianti Classico Castello through my nose.

Art and Jason, go get a room.

Amateurs focus on $$$. Professionals focus on the trade.

Your preaching to the choir. I'm waiting for the op to start touting his services.

You have to be a complete idiot to store your files on a 3rd party website. I-D-I-O-T. Buy a 1TB external drive at less than $100.

Well, see, when I was like three weeks old they took a knife and cut off the ... Oh... I thought you meant circumcised.

No shit sherlock. Any software engineer or technical professional that builds software knows this. You make it sound like your the only one on this board who knows what you are talking about. Why state the obvious.

He doesnt need to do any of that shit. What he needs to do is sit down for the next 3 days and come up with a business plan and stick to his own trading rules that suit his style and behavior of trading. Offering any sort of advice on "how much to risk" is just a complete waste of time.
