I have a suspicion it may actually be the opposite, although I agree with you on the fear factor. The first week, discipline is at its best, and fear is at its highest level, so they wait for their setups (which they have tested and watched and papertraded for a long time) to set up and then...

Not wanting to ruin Breakout's market, but I bought one from Amazon 2nd-hand not two months ago for $120. Had to wait a while (6-9 months, I think), but just left the bid in there and it was eventually hit. Now if only I could learn that sort of patience in my trading.......

I'm with you. Can't go to a place you can't even see at the moment.

You're definitely hipper than me (I'll have to retract the old f**t comment).......I was unaware NP was the new "in" place. (Is it "in" to live there, or "in" to party there?)

To expand slightly further on what Def said, in general the further north you go (which isn't really far, as the whole of HK is only about 1000 sq km in area) the cheaper it is to live. However, the further north you go, the less you are likely to encounter many people who speak english too.

Def, Spoken like a true old f**t! (No offence - I'm beginning to think I'm one myself). Next you'll be saying things like "Young people these days......."

You could try searching Project Gutenburg (just type those two words in a search engine). I would post a link, but the one I used to use no longer works. Gutenburg publishes texts on the web on which the copyrights have expired. I'm not sure how long a book copyright lasts, but if it is less...

tntneo. Thanks, I'll do some thinking along those lines. Quiet. Sorry, I'm a bit thick (but I can lift heavy things!!). I don't understand "% of MA of the equity curve (instead % of the actual current equity)". Could you expand a bit on this please. One thing I have found that does seem to...

Its Groundhog Thread...... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7849

Here's a question which I have been struggling with for a time. I'm hoping someone may be able to help me. Assume the following: Mechanical day trading (flat at the close) system, trading 4 futures markets. All 4 markets have virtually idential characteristics - profit factor, percent...

"if someone doesn't like it, they are more than welcome to ignore me." Not a silly idea. It would mean 8.48 fewer posts per day to read......

Let's not ruin Baron's business for him. His advertising revenues are likely to depend on page views, but I'm sure that number of registered users is also important......

Alain, that is one of the most sensible, well thought out pieces of advice for a newbie trader I have seen in these pages (with all due respect to all the other advice I have read on ET).

Probably camped outside by the mail-box waiting for his ET T-shirt to arrive......

Dojibear An observation, if I may. Aphexcoil seems desperate not to be thought of as a newbie (witness 100+ posts in 2 weeks). I would suggest he gets what he deserves--starting a completely irrelevent (admittedly, my view only. Others may disagree) thread, and throwing blanket statements...

Bloomberg will give you a free "trial" (for 1 month, I believe) if you are an existing user and you lose your job (very common in the current environment). This may be what you had heard. I am unaware of any free trial for new users---which doesn't mean that they don't do it.

Futuresnut. Have a look here. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ibusers/ I believe some of the members of this board have done it, but I have not tried any of them. Good luck.

I have bought and read quite a few books on trading over the years. Some have been good, and some have been complete crap. However, I have always have the view that if I get only one good idea out of a book, then it is worth the time and the money. Same with ET. You are not going to get...

Where's nitro? I really really need a prediction for the length of this thread.
