This argument aligns perfectly with my old signature: - linux people want it to be best and gather evidence to that effect - windows people dont care if its not best but recognize that it has the widest range of (good) software and is sometimes also best :) If you could do it all for...

LOL. Or more helpfully. If you are using McAfee security stuff then don't install IE7 B2. If you do you might want to look at removing McAfee and replacing it with AntiVir :)

But if ur trading the sgx, get the singapore data and the singapore trade permissions.

As a long time proponent of Avant browser I was interested to read the comparison of browsers under windows, mac and linux posted in the WinXP thread: http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html#linspeed Avant was quick but not as quick as Opera or to my surprise the new IE7. Firefox...

You guys get a little US centric here. Thats the trouble with being more than a few % of the worlds economy :) US markets tend to go up "overnight" if the asian markets and then the european markets go up during their days. If you trade the markets they are following (HSI, N225, ESTX50...

If you feel so dissatisfied with the bucketshop model then trade with an ECN model broker like Interactive Brokers. But lets be realistic - success or failure in forex, as in futures, will have much more to do with your edge and your discipline than anything that a broker does. Its just...

Bullshit. My stops are beautifully executed. If you make the effort (read take f'ing responsibility for your actions and your results not blame everyone else like those stupid terrorists :)) to understand the options IB offers then you can get your stops to behave however you want!

Yes SC will do all this sort of thing. Its a really nice package thats inexpensive and includes worksheet based formulae creation so you can change/add things as well as dll based customization.

That fix is too slow. Try this one: Better Fix

Interestingly I have a matrox card (PCI G450) and an ultra cheap Radeon 9250 AGP card. I currently run one monitor on each. This on a 2600+ 512M Ram 60GB drive machine. When I run my graphics app (SierraChart) on the PCI G450 the main processor usage for SC is twice, yes 2 x , what it is...

I use ohlc bars on SierraChart rather than candlesticks but that makes no difference. You can make bars with constant ticks, volume, range or time. A good choice of these things shows momentum very clearly without need for a ladder and some of the faking that takes place there. Not saying a...

You can't see momentum on a chart ... wow ... I must be imagining things ????

What were you doing looking over my shoulder (and reading my mind)?

And the contradiction between these two paragraphs is? Despite that I would agree that you need to find a s/r timeframe relevant to your trading. 1m s/r will be relevant (maybe) for a 1-5m hold but unless the 1m s/r also shows up on 5m then you probably will be sadly disappointed in its...

A surprising number of people waste money because they can (some are just faking it) to impress their desired peer group. If man is a parading animal then perhaps thats not so ridiculous - just an evolutionary throwback that they can't overcome.

No it isnt :) I'd rate: Reminiscences of a Stock Operator Weinstein's book & W ONeil's HTMMIS as more useful for someone learning to trade stocks. But it was a light enjoyable read. Reread the book and realize how lucky he was - if he hadn't been lucky then he wouldn't have made...

The ones worth reading from your list (best at top) "High Probability Trading" Marcel Link, $26.37 I didnt get a heck of a lot from this but if I had been starting out I think it could have made a big difference "New Trading Systems and Methods" Perry Kaufmann, $78.75 Good on systematic...

There are lots of psychological reasons to only add to a winner etc but if I assume you are psychologically under control and good at trade execution then I would say scaling in can be a very good thing. Also, I think it must suit the way you think about the market and the market you trade...

Re the xtra vs the loss of opportunity ... did you take into account the opportunity to bet twice as heavily if your risk was halved by your better entry (also the greater range to your target)?

People seem to have been asked for and be offering generic answers ... but there really aren't any. Study the thing you trade. Study what happens tick by tick around entry and exit times. Look at what happens after your trigger point occurs. You might find that there is a situation a and a...
