Damn right

Metastock, although good for back testing looks like it was built in 1820. When are they finally going to realize that they need to revamp this program and make it more user friendly??? It takes 30 clicks to open up a chart with a simple study, and the icons look like they're from the Macintosh...

Metastock is good for simple stuff like that, they give you the first month free, if your system is good then it will pay for itself month after month, if it doesn't work out, then cancel it after the first month.

True, the system is built to shake you out and take your stops, otherwise it will be an easy game, you buy low and sell high, that is where accepting small losses and money management come in.

Wrong, if you're working hard daytrading and/or scalping, and accepting little in return then you are a loser, not a scalper or a day-trader. If this your case, then either there is something wrong with your system or approach, or this career is just not for you and you need to accept that...

Unfortunately, your papertrading history doesn't mean much, you're gonna have to dig up 5k from somewhere. Sorry to be the one who breaks it to you. :(

Same here, journal writing just wasn't cutting it for me either ... I'm working with "BRS Screen Recorder", it has zoom in and 3d capabilities and takes less than 5 minutes to master. It's free unless you want additional features, the only bad thing is that it records in .avi which takes a lot...

Nice thread something I began doing recently which may or may not help you is recording my trading day with a screen recording software narrating my thoughts for entering and exiting trades. I then review the video during the evening or weekend. Eliminates a lot of writing

Could be channeling, trendlines are not glass ceilings or floors.

Another bug in esignal which I have brought to the attention of tech support to no avail is the quote for the $aux index, instead of showing the automotive index, it shows the Australian dollar, unless the timeframe is changed to daily (the automotive index quote for $aux is not viewable in...

Today I had 30 losing trades and 5 winning trades, I broke even so I think it's more about risk (money) management than strategy. I'm pretty sure those odds are worst than any casino in the world, so my system may not be the best but my money management is good so I can handle long losing...

Avatar +++++ (Great group there, standard rates 5 to 5.5/1k, office in midtown, you should pass by and meet them --- around 200 bucks a month for lightspeed) Cy Group +++++ (Good firm as well, they use laser, if any firm charges platform fees for using laser they should be shut down, so...

Never gonna get it. What do you plan to do with 10k? You're bringing a butterknife to a gunfight.

If you learn how to add/take liquidity you can cut your commissions by half or more.

well well ... aren't we in luck ... I stand corrected

once a shill always a shill, tsk tsk ... hopefuly after this post they'll finally promote you from that elevator operator position you've been "filling in" for the past three years. Those toilets don't clean themselves you know.

WOW! I didn't know they issued K1's or 1099's for paper trading accounts. You learn something new every day. I guess that's why they wait until March to send you yours, delivered with a new box of crayons and a glue-stick so you can glue your "winning trades" on the helmet mommy forces you to...

k1's are only issued if you're profitable so I'm guessing this is why you haven't and won't be receiving any forms in the future?
