The best way to stop any annoying person whose posts are causing trouble rather than contributing to ET, is to ignore him. DO NOT RESPOND TO TROUBLEMAKERS; PUT THEM ON YOUR 'IGNORE LIST.' If you feel a particular ET user is so annoying that you never want to see any of his posts ever again...

I could not attach the mp3 file to my previous post. I believe the reason is that the file is 18.1mb, too large to attach. Does anyone know of a website where I can post the file and others can download it from there? I would rather do this than send the file individually to other ETers.

Recording begins about 1-2 minutes into the chat. Ends when Don signed off (I did not "stick around for an hour after the chat" to get the "good stuff." Don's audio was at a lower level than Mav's audio. So you will have to turn the volume up/down periodically. If anyone has a more...

Not "if" -- WHEN

Yes it is possible to be a consistently successful gambler. (Example: the dealer at any table in Las Vegas) Can trading be "not gambling"? Yes, discussed previously When you are gambling, are you trading? Yes, in a manner of speaking. It's a matter of to what items you assign...

The single thing that can make trading into gambling, or gambling into a business like trading is: A TESTED SYSTEM. Trading is gambling when the trader has no system ("discretionary" trading). Because you are taking risk without knowing whether you are more likely to succeed or to fail...

So let's say you do want to at least try creating a simple automated system for yourself (I am most interested in using it for backtesting). What language/package would you use? TradeStation's EasyLanguage seems to be the most popular choice and it has a lot of pre-programmed pieces. Has...

Here are some questions for the Thursday session) (in no particular order): I hope that you will provide a brief overview of the entire prop trading industry, not just Bright Trading in particular. I'm sure you are much more familiar with your competition than we are. (For example, what...

Do you guys think it is possible/reasonable to use a laptop as a trading computer of the type discussed here? Are approximately the same specs available on laptop? How do you get more than 2 monitors hooked up?

Okay, I'm virtually convinced that I should use Easy Language on TradeStation, since I'm just looking for the fastest way to more efficient trading/testing. One question: Has anyone tried out NinjaTrader's Market Strategy which is newly available in the Beta version of NT6? I believe Ninja...
