Joey, I just took a look at your work-in-progress and I'm impressed. I especially like the screenshot option. Keep us posted as to when a beta will be available. Uni

FWIW, I've found Alex Elder's "Trader's Organizer" to be a comprehensive, fairly painless way to keep track of things. It's Excel-based and you can find it at: http://www.elder.com Uni (no, I don't have any kind of business relationship with his company, I just like this product)

For me, trading is a valuable profession for two reasons: 1) It provides income for my family and allows me to contribute to the greatest nation on earth through the taxes I pay (however I and many others could debate on the amount we should actually be contributing and how that money is...

Not even close, buddy. FPC is a lunatic, but he comes back to earth occasionally, even apologizing for his mis-comments from time to time. I enjoy most of his contributions. Uni

Oh, I forgot to give you my broker suggestion: IB. Good luck, Uni

Just out of curiosity, do you trade the NQ also? If not, why? Much more leverage and favorable tax treatment with the NQ. Do you just "know" the Q's better? TIA, Uni

I, too, am on the SFO bandwagon. No other mag gives you more useful (and well written for the most part) articles on a regular basis than this one. They devote each issue to a particular theme and this month it's psychology. I just posted a link to the article on George Soros on the Gut or TA...

Interesting article (part one of a series) on Soros written by a person who did their post-doc thesis on this very subject. Here's a link if anyone's interested: http://www.sfomag.com/articlesdetail.asp?IssueMonthID=July&YearID=2003&ID=242 Uni

Actually I would so I could learn what not to do :p That's another good point about this book, the author includes examples of mistakes he and others have made. This kind of info is just as, if not more, useful than "what to do." Now that I think about it, maybe I should contact the...

Man, you guys are paranoid (buy this book). Try some aluminum foil hats (buy this book) to block your thoughts from being read (buy this book). Uni

IMO, as I said before, it distills the essentials of creating an effective trading business. Other things I like about it are: -Repetition of key points (neatly summarized after each chapter) -KISS philosophy throughout -Lots of examples of points made -Solid, basic advice on the...

Don't know about anyone else posting, but I have nothing to do with the author (should be obvious since I'm criticizing his writing ability). Like Pete, I just think it's a good book and I thought it might benefit other, more civil people around here. Have a great day, Uni

Although I criticized the writer's grammar earlier, I went ahead and picked up a copy of his book anyway. While obviously not written by a professional writer, the ideas presented are superb. I'm halfway through it and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to get serious about their...

Point taken and I am aware of what has been happening lately with emini trading. I just don't believe "voicing concerns to governing agents" is going to amount to anything more than squat (unless Elliott Spitzer decides to take up the case :cool: ). These are freely marketed products and if...

I have to agree with you, FPC. You play with fire and you get burned. I've had IB freeze up on me with a position going against me. Is it their fault? Maybe. But I own my actions. No one is forcing anyone to trade anything. By the way, what's "eom?" End of Message? Uni

I am by no means an expert but I do have some trading experience. This has been said before but it bears repeating. -You must decide the type of trading you will be doing (intraday, swing, long-term position trading, etc.) This will allow you to identify the timeframes you will use to...

Aha! That's the rub. I can live with that. Thanks, def. Uni

Sounds good to me, thanks Blue.:)

I haven't read the book but I just saw the review on Amazon written by the author. It contained this sentence (emphasis mine): This book is an easy read and is full of funny antidotes from my trading experience. I guess this guy ingests a lot of different poisons when he trades? Call me...
