Julie, I'm a trader, I don't trade at Bright (or any other firm) and have joined this board to exchange ideas and information about trading. I have found Don's posts very informative and useful, often funny, always light. I would rather he not stop contributing what he knows best...

stevet, I know many people who like building systems and hate to trade - trading takes a sort of being-able-to-withstand-pain which they lack; therefore, they choose to profit from their own field of expertise. I also know others who develop systems, trade the latest/best, and sell last...

Jeffm, Yes, the method is quite discretionary - which is not a very bad thing, if you think about it. After 3.5 years of trading, I almost believe that there's no holy grail out there. therefore, all I could hope, was a good system to help MY trading. So far, TIMEs seems to be very helpful...

NKHOI, They do post what they call "hypothetical performance" which, as they explained it to me, is the maximum one could get. As I'm going through the steps of testing the system, those postings are very useful because they help me discern where/when the signals were, and how big might they...

----------------------- Sterling, I have to disagree. I have used both AIQ and OmniTrader for some time. AIQ is a good system with many valuable features that allow you to select sectors and also sort of backtest some strategies. For my needs, I gave it a B and put it aside...

I have been trading the s&p and naz e-minis for a couple years, both intraday and keeping positions overnight. Tried several methods and settled on TCI's approach and system. Lately, because i didn't like having a 6 pt stop loss intraday, I've limited my TCI trading to their swing trading...

I will definitely be there tomorrow, Don - have been looking forward to it for some time now. And, as you have heard me say in the past, please don't forget to open an office in Bernardsville or Morristown, or Madison NJ :-)

I am not an expert here, but programs like Quicken (and MS Money I think) do that and brokers like IB offer interfaces to Quicken and perhaps other similar products. I also think there's a commercially available product based on Excel, but could not remember its name (other thanthe fact that I...

I've been trading futures, stocks and options through IB for a year now and have used all of their order types - and have been very happy. For futures, my experience with IB is superior to my experience with PFG. In trading stocks and options, I was getting similar performance from The...

Don, Where can I find more information about your trading techniques? Have you documented them - written a book or a collection of articles somewhere? Yannis

I think there should be a limit on how many pages a thread is allowed to have - seems to me that we've gone past that point :)

Dgzadok; Could not disagree with you more on this cute "school of hard knocks..." poem :-) I'm always happy to share what I know, provided that the other person understands that i don't have all the (correct) answers.

Richard, TCI's system came out in October 2000. Would I pay 6,000 for their method now? the course was good, but the biggest advantage was that it gave me their whole perspective in trading, which I still consider quite complete. On the other hand, someone else took it and he could only...

Rickty, You can find out about TCI at www.tcicorp.net Yannis

LelandC, Exiting a trade on a specific time has never worked for me - I get too impatient if I have a profit and the market looks wobbly - which it often does during mid-day. The best way I know to achieve what you are asking is to both set a limit order to catch a profit target...

Funster, I have been trading for 3 years and I'm still learning the ropes. I'm not really a suitable tutor or mentor for you, but I'm willing to share some of my experiences - which you may find relevant and useful. Almost two years ago, in June of 2000, while looking for better guidance...

oolarimm, The data is there, but, as I confirmed, you need the password that gets you past their "members" gate (on the left side of the www.tcicorp.net home page.) You will probably need to call them and ask to be allowed in - there's a plethora of data posted inside, every trade, several...

I am looking for a good trading chatroom - hopefully the best that's out there - and would greatly appreciate any suggestions / past experiences / opinions. Thanks.

I have taken their course in June 2000 and have used their system ever since. It is excellent, and so is their newer software system TSA. In my experience, the trades posted at their site are represented very honestly. TSA costs $250/month if you have taken the course and something more...
