yes, i agree very much. a good starting point for this introspection would be the "hail mary" trade. we've all made one or more at some point, but this is not a typical 3 year vet mistake. or is it?

guys, thanks a ton for the input, laz, thanks very much for the illustration, this helps a lot. the product has come highly recommended, and i've seen a fair number of respectable proponents for it over time. i intend to apply it to a pre-existing system. i was just so caught off guard by the...

imho, you can probably learn everything he has to teach you for free by fishing out the rare but outstanding professionals on this board. they are here. i think 20k is a better investment in your own nose-to-the-grindstone tuition than a week of watching someone else's style, no matter how...

Thanks very much for the input guys. Anyone else have experience with the Jurik MA? I also read on the Jurik site about Ehler's "Modified Optimal Elliptical Filter" which appears to have very similar results and a similar logical basis using DSP and techniques derived from radar technology...

JMA users, Can I get some opinions on whether the JMA is a worthwhile investment? I called their "sales" number and the gent confusedly quoted me two prices. I asked if he could send me a screenshot of the JMA applied to a recent day and drawled through saying he didn't have time for...

thanks very much for the info. just out of curiosity, what happens if you don't exit the june position - does it expire worthless at 9:30?

i've been wondering how this works. hypothetically, if you're holding a june ES, does IB automatically roll it forward to september, or is any action required?

Gordon, It sounds like you're fine. When you can save enough to replenish your acount to say, the 10,000 level or so, I would jump back in, and paper trade as much as possible in the interim. I half expect I might find myself in the same circumstances down the road (hope not though). I...

that album sucks man! open your mind.

I worked with a swiss guy on the floor who used to shout "arsloch!" (asshole) all the time. He also used to shout a bunch of other worse profanities that escape me right now... we called him "swiss miss" "gober admi" was "shit guy" in hindi

Indeed, a blind trader can read the internet through the use of text to speech software, braille printers, or haptic devices.

I have a nice, quiet office in the back of my apartment where I'm learning to trade, replete with a window and nice view of a mountain and church steeple. It is MY place.. We chose the apartment specifically for this office room. I like to keep it sparse, with just a portrait of my...

I used to be a support person (not proud of that), and in my posts to the support forum with EL and software questions I find that on the harder questions, they don't go the extra mile (with exceptions). Several times I've waited 24 hours for a half-ass response that drags my question out for...

i remember hearing the iraqi stock market exploded (rallied) as the war became more imminent

lol, yes, when have setups been so entertaining?

Well, I managed to reduce the EL for a full chromatic scale playing on each tick down to 5 lines, and was able to listen to ES today as one continuous melody, tick by tick. It was very interesting, sounded a bit like "Flight of the Bumblebee", though didn't add anything new to my trading so...

there was no upgrade, it got delayed another week. i would hold off a week and take the temperature on this thread next mon-wed

yes, and i would recommend keeping your EL as concise as possible, two letter variable name, shortest filepath possible to the wav, if else instead of two if statements, etc. granted, today is one of those free money days, but listening really makes the experience much more visceral and helps...

goldwave is an option. it's free, and i've been using it for years. very flexible wav recorder. even has an mp3 encoder if you download another thing called "lameware". very good software.

lol, this is funny now. TS froze and my whole system gummed up. Had to cold boot. wtf
