Who's your broker?

You get a price ladder of the nearest 5 bids and 5 asks on your dom. One of the good things about hsi is that the gyrations give you the opportunity to fill at considerably better prices than your trigger signal. It looks wild but the "wildness" provides opportunity that you might miss in a...

"Obviously, golfers don't set new records unless they possess tremendous skill. Also important in scoring low is a player's self-defined belief about what he or she thinks is possible. Humans have much greater resources for success than they tend to use. Golfers often stifle their own success...

It seems that Golf and Trading have some similar challenges. Although one will not succeed in trading without a strategy based on the markets actions (ref Dustin's posts particularly http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1157124#post1157124 ) and (IMO) a clear set of written...

Excellent post!! If you're someone reading this thread who wants to become a successful trader then read nitro's post on the previous page and follow up on his referrences. It makes the whole silly thread worthwhile. LOL .. and congratulations Ripley on taking my last post with an...

LOL ... Believe it or NOT ... its spelt aberration. Unless you have invented a new word, abberation, which refers from now on to people who had the intelligence to build a good trading system and plan and the dumbness to trade it well. Such a person is henceforth known as an abberation. Oh...

Because he lets his need to be smart get in the way of trading well. I am thinking of compiling a list from this thread of all the traders who feel insecure about their intelligence ... but I might just be too smart to waste that much time on it. Cheers :)

Because IB are just better.

LOL ... Go Grob ... you see the truth ... Stir these SOBs up.

MM is not the grail. All good MM by itself will do is slow the bleed of a losing strategy or losing psychology.

Awww science_trader. Its arrogant twats like you that bring et down. You and the arrogant shites that insist that someone elses simple way doesn't work. What a pack of dumb arsed wankers !@! :D :p :D :p :D The interesting question: why are these people so insulted by the suggestion...

An interesting statement Wayne. I once almost took a course from a guy who is highly recommended in Andrews Babson circles and he wanted to know my prior profession. His concern was that, in his training experience three groups were more likely to fail than others. One was engineers and...

I think your choice of dumb was interesting; it certainly got you some responses. But I would absolutely agree that a simple approach using confluence of trend on more than one timeframe and resistance that you've seen to be more then 50% effective can give you a good entry. And once you've...

Buy1Sell2, Congratulations on your success with your simple strategy. Always good to see that there a many ways to make money in the market. I also enjoy the responses generated. Cheers :)

LMAO :D :p :D :p :D The arrogance of it. To suggest that being a moderator means you can't call a wanker a wanker when they are simply being a wanker. Or in the case of dear old es, just have a little fun with someone. ES, its a tough life (and some take it far too seriously). Keep up...

LOL ... mine is an amd 2600 with 0.5 gig of ram ... I think the statement "its application dependent" must be the case because it doesn't slow my pathetic machine down at all :)

Whats the specs on your pc (ram and cpu)?

A router shouldn't slow your transmission down unless the services you run on it really overload it - which is unlikely. Also, to be frank, zonealarm shouldn't slow you down either. I run a modest amd box and get fantastic transfer rates with zonealarm firewall on.

Lamont C's comment about lifestyle is a good one. Because I trade I can live in the tropics (surfers paradise), I need to put in about 6 hours a day with no commute starting at 11am so I can fish, surf or whatever beforehand, and I have no f'ing boss. How good is that :) But this 100k less...
