Thanks for a good thread with good analysis, Landis82.
EWT's definitely on to something.

I found the Table of Contents to have enough references
to interesting chart ideas that I ordered it just now.
Mebbe I'll post a review after it arrives.
You sure got a ton of advice.
Not much seemed on target (except Steve's).
If you're dicretionary trading,
try the book Mastering the Trade by John Carter,
and when you try paper or real trading again,
KEEP A JOURNAL.
That's the only way for a discretionary trader to know
if you're...
Thanks Pabst!!
Bought the book last night;
the first 2 chapters were excellent.
There's more valuable insight per page

Gotta get a scrip for it now, though, 'cuz the OTC strength of 12.5 mg isn't made anymore.
Some of the statements I've read on this thread rank right up there with that amazing oxymoron "price improvement" that the specialists are helping everyone out with....

Flytiger nailed it in another post:
"Why listen to any man where you know what he's going to say before he says it?
That will save you from most politicians..... no, all politicians."
And that braying jackass Kudlow is just another politician.
I hate to admit it but I occasionally watch...
ATS programming is EXTREMELY platform-dependent.
A programmer with prior experience on the exact platform would be the most desirable,
but an experienced ATS programmer on any platform should know the pitfalls to be wary of.
In any event, to obtain the niche skills needed....
bring money.
With the caveat that this is a forum for traders (weekly and monthly outlooks are long-term),
I'm fiddling with about the same decisions for my retirement money as you mentioned in your post.

Arizona Diet Green Tea by the gallon jug.
Or 12-packs of little bottles of Lipton Diet Green Tea (citrus or berry).
It's mundane, but no heart palpitations like with a dozen coffees,
and I think green tea is keeping me outta the dentist's chair.
So now tell me how NOT to light up an...
