What type of stop loss are you running?

"On another note, what school are you going to and what are you planning to do with your degree. I am only asking because I am in the medical field as well." I think you must have me crossed with someone else; great trade this morning. Congrats Dominic

I would disagree with your above statement. My reason behind asking is if someone was trading 10 contracts (for example) with a $10K account, is how would their stragety work compared to having a $1 million dollar account; could they handle the swings. What if someone was trading 1 contract...

Is there more consisent money to be made trading E minis or stocks?

I have been trading equities for 6 years and thinking about getting into E minis; my goal is $500 to $1K a day; so if your trying to make 1-2 points on 5-10 contracts, that equals my same goal on equities. Have you tried trading equitiies?

How many contracts are you trading per entry?

Thanks; have you tried CyberTrader before? I have been with them for 6 years trading equities and thinking about trying futures; not sure how they stack up against IB? Are you able to trade 24/7 pretty much with IB on the futures?

Thinking about opening an account either with CyberTrader or IB to trade E Minis; anyone have any input as to the better firm for futures? Thanks Dominic

Maybe you two need to start your own thread...

Do you trade fulltime? How long did it take you to handle or become successful at trading Forex? I assume you must have knowledge in computer language or programming because thats probably what signals an entry for you?

I have been trading full time for almost 6 years and really haven't started becoming "successful" in my trading until the last year. I trade equities and have a very very very small trading account compared to others here. I started out with $6K in 2000 and trade the minimum PDT rule with approx...

Anyone know of a site where I can download an audio file of the NYSE opening bell? Thanks

Anyone know of a site with daily or weekly running totals of the % returns year to date of the Dow/Nasdaq? I would like to be able to enter a specific date ( ie 10/01/2005 to 02/09/2006) and then have the % return. Any help would be appreciated.

I have heard of many having a trading plan, just like a business plan, and others that have done very well without any written trading plan. How many here have one? If so, care to share a portion of it?

Are there any sites out there that list how much up/down in % performance the Dow/Nasdaq/S&P is up since 2001,2002,1979, etc to current?

Is it necessary to have a traders trading plan? I was convinced that it was after reading a 60 page article from TW (the author) that it was; I was impressed with the article and questions; then only later to find out that he isn't even a full time trader. I thought it wise to obtain some...

Seems like there are many out there trading some type of software program or TA system; yet it seems to me the $$$ is really made trading the emotional side. Example: A certain stock closes the day above many bullish TA references and is in an "uptrend". Then it comes out the next day with...

"FWIW i've been kicking around the idea of writing a cross-platform C++ journaling program using a SQLite backend. For free! There would be charges for the modules that suck in trade data from the various sources. Mind you, it's just a thought, and chart analysis is not an option. Osorico"...
