    -Trading mistakes-

    Shit happens. Take a small break (go to neutral). You will see new equity high in no time IF YOU CAN PUT IT BEHIND YOU.

    -Trading mistakes-

    The trick is when the knife is falling, you have to keep your body moving and make sure if you fail to catch it by a bit, it goes straight to your heart... This way it is a quick death... :D

    Market Profile Trading

    Hi slacker Regarding his channels, are you talking about his example indicator under the same thread? Do you have refresh problem with his histogram? I don't know anything about MP but this histogram just make sense to me as confirmation to take entry or filtering out mediocre trades...

    slacker, Thanks for your help. Did you try kramer's ELD? It looks better to me. For some reason it only works for day-only session. I just started playing with it. There is some problem, I have to reload it to get it refresh?? Let me know if it is any better. Home->Support->All...

    Expectancy above .50??

    I haven't done this for a while. It seems like the systems can only keep about 10% from the average winning trade. I am not sure about the nature of the execution. Have you tried trading these systems? It could be a little tough in real life when you might get only half the performance (for...

    Can't bring myself to leave my job.

    IMO, You are doing a smart thing. It is very hard to find a good job with benefits nowaday. It is very different trading for a living. The daily fluctuation also means you can lose many more paychecks in a losing streak and are you gonna withdraw even more money from the account to pay for...

    My dilemma - too good to be true? How long can I last?

    Hi Cheetos, If you are scalping options like that, wouldn't the bid-ask spread kill you a lot of time? Regards, KC

    Will you trade differently on the date 6/6/6

    I will say prayer to George (6 letters) Walker (6) BushJr. (6). He will protect me except for the $6.66 gasoline.

    My dilemma - too good to be true? How long can I last?

    Sounds OK to scale in your position as long as you are not pushing the size. I also "mainly" trade countertrend S&P emini in the morning (work in the afternoon). I used to do a lot of doubling up and got some 50% months doing that but I stop for the reasons everybody mentioned here. I have...

    My dilemma - too good to be true? How long can I last?

    Cheetos, I don't think double or triple down is a good idea long term... I know that's where a lot of consistency coming from. I prefer to get out when enter incorrectly (and possibly reenter later). It will hurt profitability short term but I want to survive first. The scenerio...

    Acronis True Image 9

    I got some HP (not Japanese brand) CDs and I tried to use Acronis True Image to do a full backup. It fails the entire process once I hit a CD it doesn't like. Now that's annoying. I wasted half a stack of CD while trying this and finally gave up. It sure was nice when it was working. I...
