Thanks for bringing back the memories. That card was state of the art back then for gamers. Now, I'm not even sure, there are Windows 7 drivers for that card.

My first post in your journal. Don't beat yourself up too much about it, everyone screws up once in a while. And trust me, even the ones who have been helping you screws up, once in a while, just not too often as the newbies. This is not the first, and it won't be the last. Just learn from it...

Kudos to Baron! Being on here for 10 years and counting, I expect nothing less from the fellow ETers. There are members who claim to not understand losing days, capturing 3 times the daily range, and throwing 100 lots a clip, but yet, do not have extra 5 bucks in the pocket, or a kind heart...

My trading rig has the same specs as the one on your first link. Actually, mine has a crappier video card than that one. But it's plenty fast for what I do, and very happy with it. I run a 24 inch monitor at 1920x1200, and 20 inch at 1680x1050. Transact AT, and Sierra Charts, plus a couple other...

Paypal on it's way! Not much, but being a piker, I'm allowed to do that :D Hope you get better, and thank you for the entertainment on ET. Schaefer

No issues with Sierra Charts, and Transact here. Schaefer

Candle sticks have been my primary method for many years. But like wrbtrader says, you cannot trade candle sticks, and their associated patterns a lone. The candle sticks become very valuable source of price action information, when you pair it with some other proven system. Put it this way...

That really depends on the volatility. Sometimes, price comes back and gives you a chance to get out, IF you're lightning quick. But sometimes, it just takes off, in the wrong direction, and you won't be able to get out with just "a few ticks". I think, it's just a mis-communication, as when...

Amen! Schaefer

Take the computer, donate to charity, get tax write off receipt.....and profit :D Schaefer

Now, that explains everything. Thanks, Spec. Schaefer

Hi DB, I'm incorporating the pre-market range, as per your suggestion, and so far it's working out beautifully today. This is my 15 minute chart. Schaefer

None taken, we're good, thanks. Good luck to you as well. Schaefer

Yes, you're absolutely correct :) Schaefer

Okay, thanks. I see now, you're all going by the trading range from the pre-market. I hardly pay attention to pre-market ranges, as from my experience, they don't hold much weight unlike the RTH price ranges. I'm always interested in other people's methods. A few weeks of sim trading on the...

Okay, thanks. 10:11 bar makes more sense. Schaefer

Thank you, DB. Why would you look for long, when it's clearly in a down trend, and in the process of a pullback for a potential second leg down? SLA do not have to account for HH/HL, and LH/LL confirmation, before placing trades with the trend? I thought, it was price action based. Schaefer

DB, I know you didn't take any entries this morning in real time, but this is what I've come up with in hindsight, following your rules. Could you also explain, why your student took the short at 51, and you also, wanted to go short at 52.75 during the breakout bar at 9:58 am Eastern. Schaefer

Interesting, so now you're a noob? Up until this morning, you were preaching other real traders, who have been doing this for decades, as if they were noobs...lol Schaefer PS: 7 point emergency stop on a 1 minute chart....good luck!

I see, you quickly edited out your entry. You said, you went short at 51; where was your stop, and target? Schaefer
