Sorry if it's been posted before, what's ME ? Thanks, Andy

10 losses ? That was a number I came across, I think by Mark Douglas, though not sure. It's more to give me an idea of the cash amount I need to test a system. Yes The 10 losses could start off today, Murphys law :-( Though it was a number, 10losses x 20pts x $20 =$4000 that I'm ok...

Hi all, what a day. Watching paint dry would have been easier, but not as profitable :-) I scored full marks today for following my plan/system. I'm not saying it wasn't without ideas to jump in and change, but I was able to hang in and stick it through to the end. It was a lot harder than...

Hi Baron, when do the shirts go on sale ? Andy

Hi All, it is with great thought that I'm going to write a journal till at least the end of the month. Many of you have given sooo much and hopefully this may help somebody. I know and except it's for me also. I've been trading on and off for about 4-5 years, time flys when your having...

Hi, looking to run a system for a few weeks on IB. It only gives me a few trades a day at most, with a good size stop a distance off. Which then gives me plenty of time to enter the stoploss order. How has IB been doing with NQ emini stops (buy/sell limits) ? How much slippage should I...

Hi, just wated to say "THANKS !!" You have a lot to offer us hopefuls, will miss your imput. Andy

Hi Bronks, sorry to see you have to leave us for a while. I really do probably know what your going through. I'm just about ready to come off my working break (refund of account:-) To start trading again. I even had to leave Hawaii (Big island) to come back to work on the East coast :-(...

Hi Everyone, thank you all for you replys. I'm looking at 512MB so mem' should be fine. Thanks, again Andy

Hi Everyone, just checking has anybody had any problems using XP Pro' with IB ? I had been looking at Win' 2000, but a computer guy told me that he felt XP was alot better than Win' 2000. Really makes no difference to me, costs about the same. Just wanted to check before I spend the...

Hi Bronks, not that I'm making' it big trading, but good size gap ups or downs are one of my favorites. Wait 30 mins (some like 60min's, though some like only 15 ??) then enter if it makes a new high/low in the direction of the gap. As for a stop , this isn't nice I use the low or high of...

Hi all, thanks everyone, will either get Win' 2000 pro' or XP pro',need to check with IB if either of these works better, Yes, it does show a raid card, but at this time was only looking for one board, even with one, it was still more than I wanted to pay. Also thanks about the...

Hi all, not to flog a dead horse, but this is what I'm looking at, and unless I hear something really bad about it will probably get it. Case AT/ATX 300W 56.7 Data/fax pci intel 60gb IBM ud100 2mb 7.2k 1.44 mb teac floppy 2 - 256mb DDR OEM (add $16 for samsung) KT3 Ultra/...

WOW, that last post was great. I was just talking (as usual"talk" not action!!) to a trading friend about actually putting my plan/rules onto paper, even showing them to my wife for accountability . Well that's is got to go, got some writing to do :-) Thanks for a great post. Andy

Hi Bronks, nice to see your back, missed your writing :-) I see I'm not the only one who gets (use too!!!) gun happy from a break in trading ?????? Please don't hear me wrong and I'll be up front in letting you know I'm not totally making it work full time yet as a trader, but I've...

Hi, I've received some great info', thank-you all. On the above Dell would that meet my general trading needs ? Did you know how much extra for the dual video card they would charge ? Also will that meet the I.B. needs ? Again all I'm looking to do is trade, generally using...

Hi everyone, just wanted to give an update where I am (this is going to be a longer process than I figured:-) I have yet to check out newegg, mainly because no matter how tech' looking I may be trading with dual monitors, I have NO idea what half of you are writing about (I mean this...

Wow, sooo much stuff to digest, but thanks guys, lots of great info' especially concerning 3com and IB, (who I use at this time) and also about Win' 98. I'll keep rereading what you all wrote for a while before I go out and get the new system. Really, thank you all again, as you can see...

Hi all, especially those who have computer knowledge, I've finally got some extra money available, plus my kids have just too much stuff loaded on the computer I'm presently using. Right now I'm looking at a new custom tower, here's what they're looking to put in it. Please any other...

Hi, isn't it also true on futures (e-mini's) that at the end of the year for tax's you don't have to post each trade (as in stocks) only a profit or loss (or a bigger profit, I wish:-) provided on a nice little form off your broker ? Guess I hope I'm right on this, that's all I did for...
