    People do not 'learn from their mistakes'

    You can learn from bad experiences, as long as you coach yourself in how to learn. Takes a long time, and I've learned a lot on speeding up the process in Dr. Steenbarger's new book on coaching yourself. Well worth the read if you pay attention to the details in it. It can have the...

    Stock Scanners

    I have used trade ideas for awhile. Am doing a runn-off against madscan this month. Madscan has a few nice filters that I can't get to work in trade ideas. Free one month trial and they offer 1/1 training, just try it.

    T3 Capital

    They are traders and have great techinical analysis for good percentage winners. Nothing wrong with them, everyone is always looking to fault people here. I do wonder why the best traders don't just trade, and not distract themselves with firm duties. My guess is it is the next level in...

    Mark Fishers - ACD System from "The Logical trader"

    I almost never hold overnight. My time frames for matching market trends with a stock doing a second pass through the OR is 10 and 15 minutes, as this is usually only valid for the first 1.5 to 2 hours of trading. It doesn't have a good probability if the the market enters the flat time of the...

    Mark Fishers - ACD System from "The Logical trader"

    If you read the book, and use ACD on stocks or futures you know how to trade (with the emphasis on knowing how to trade with discipline), this system offers a high probability edge. That is all you can expect. High probability with discipline = profits. No it doesn't say when to exit, you...

    So, if you are smart enough to know this, why don't you exploit it. Answer: You are not a trader.

    Goldman and the REDIPLUS Platform

    The upgraded version have poor, if any, integration capability with third party cahrts suchas as esignal. If you trade with any velocity, and want charts updated with a single entry in the Level II, this will be problematic for you.

    Tuco Receiver's Site Down

    Lost, yes, really a very needless happening. Doug offered to payout 100% 3 months after this started. Wasn't enough moeny in that for the TLC and his band of lawyers, so the traders got haircut charges the likes that no one has ever seen before.

    SMB Capital $5k Training?

    I've been following, but very difficult to judge without knowing a simple fact: Just how much are they receiving each month for the educational materials? It is hard to believe that they have many subscribers with the monthly fees charged and even less people able to pony up $5k to have 2...

    Optiver

    These guys think big; best show you think big or ask for a percent of the profits vs. a number.

    Optiver

    Ask for a minimum 500K. They are going to expect a lot more profit from you for the firm and fire you if it doesn't happen

    SMB Capital $5k Training?

    The owners are serious about the business and are good traders, Steve is likely one of the best there is. Talk to them or visit, I have, and asked many difficult questions, they continue to send out free material and blog information that you can learn from. They are not your typical hyster...
