I believe it's the same in NT8. But, you first have to click at the right price on the chart, then scroll down to that button you're showing (and if if you're not careful a buy stop could become a sell limit) and finally another click. Compared with one click entry like on the DOM - it is...

Yes. Getting out when a trade isn't working as expected or something changed in the market is very important. Most people probably just sit around waiting for their stop to get hit or hoping the market turns. It takes discipline to do that and take those smaller losses before they get bigger.

Not with this strategy/account, no. I did increase my target to 5 points yesterday on 1 trade and probably could have done a bit more as I had confidence in a greater move coming. But then I'm starting to cross over to another style of trading. I wil rather just stick with this and see if I can...

If you only have $1K to spend and will succeed without losing those you must qualify for some kind of record. :) There's a tuition to be paid for sure, both in time invested and money, but it's also true that you don't have to lose a great deal of money as you can practice or stay small. I've...

I think everything depends on the debt ceiling which most likely will be raised for the 100th time. I believe that's what's happening now, i.e., the rumor is bought... When that's taken care of it's business as usual with free money and zero risk $$$. :) What would surprise me is if the debt...

I did say we'll see the mother of all reversals as soon as the debt ceiling is raised for the 100th time. Seems like the rumor was bought as the talks on that allegedly have had progress... 100 + point rallies in 24 hours is in the ballpark of what we've seen multiple of only these last 4...

By the way - a big key to success in this game is knowing when to stay the hell out and learning not to trade if you're uncertain. Some people are afraid of pulling the trigger while others simply jump into the market without much thought at all. One can go a long way just by eliminating...

Done after 1-minute today. 3 points x 5 contracts => 1 trade and done. These large gaps up can go both ways. Most of them usually have some retracement lower, but it's uncertain, so I decided it was not a day to press my luck. Probably done for the day. To be honest, if you have no...

Wrong. Correct.

You should consider adding the possibillity of 'one-click' order entry on your chart trader. Right now it's very cumbersome requiring a ton of clicks. Not good enough for fast markets.

I know nothing and my lucky break is probably going to end soon. There are far more able traders in this thread who should take you on. :) Yes, sir.

Another thing I like is that the market offers so many opportunities to catch 1.5 / 3.0 points, whereas if you're trying to trade the major moves you're usually limited to 2-5 opportunities per session. Got greedy today, so 5 winners in a row: + 3,00, + 0,25, + 0,25, + 1,5 and + 5,00 for a...

FBO on that first thrust, but I still think that's the target for today. Wrong below 90.

Yeah. 15 points of free money above today's HOD when it's taken out.

My crystal ball is a bit fuzzy at the moment - but wouldn't be surprised to see the gap from yesterday @ 4335 filled by today's Close. NQ holding up well so far, but too early to call a bottom.

I'm mostly a technical trader myself, but certainly some news items matter - and I imagine a 20 % + correction would be geared towards some type of news for sure. I'm pretty sure we'll see a good sized rally as soon as this debt ceiling drama is out of the way. Like I said - I hope you're...

Why are we going lower? I wish you're right, but fear you're wrong. Probably going to see the mother of all reversals when the debt ceiling is increased for the 100th time.

My best guess is this will continue lower until the debt ceiling issue is taken care off and if it's not taken care of, well...

Well - at least LeeLoo is honest and upfront about this. It says so on their web page very clearly and you wouldn't even need to ask them. I believe OneUp does the same, but they're not as explicit stating it. Earn2Trade also have what they call LiveSim, which I believe is the same thing. They...

No, I'm not. :)
