I've already binge watched episodes 1 through 6. So sad.....

Scorcher, I've been where you are now, and advice like stockbroker offers would seem to make sense, but it's not enough. First off, can I assume that you have tested in some way, your trading methods, and that you know that it/they make money over time? If not, then that is the first thing...

Interesting- but shouldn't this all be posted in the "Journals" section?

Try Street Smarts by Linda Raschke.

On 3/5, you stated that you were done with ET- "I am done with this website otherwise and will not come back to reply to any responses. I just wanted to post my story, my opinion and a bit of advice for those who want to go into trading. Best of luck to you all..." Now you are begging for...

sdd80, Before you start trading with real money, make sure that you have a methodology that has a positive expectancy. Do enough paper trading or sim trading to confirm that your method makes money over time. Then you can start with a degree of confidence that you can succeed. Be sure to...

I replaced my old Linksys router with a Netgear wireless N. The model is a WNDR3700. Really easy setup and does everything I need- supplying wifi in the house for 3 iPods, an iPad, and 3 laptops.

You are most welcome. If you want the name of my broker there, and any additional info re my experiences, pm me. Kevin

JRoger, Check out the Daniels Trading website- they have a lot of reference information there for stock traders moving to futures, ebooks, blog articles, resources, etc. You do not have to be a client to access (although I am), and it could be helpful. I trade part time- evenings and...

FunMan, I use a Lenovo T510 as my backup (my desktop is a Lenovo P90), and have had no issues in more than 1 year. Our IT group at work uses Lenovo's for all new desktops and for laptops as long as I have been there (more than 6 years) and will get nothing else. Solid, reliable business...

Nwose, There have been some very informed replies here, filled with good advice, and some that are not so helpful. Trading is a business, yet it seems that you have no plan or thought out (and tested) strategy. I think that you sincerely want some help, and want to succeed, so I'll tell...

Gotta, I can speak from experience on this one, having climbed Washington in the summer, as well as hiked, ice climbed and X-country skied it in winter. You have to know what you are doing in the white mountains in winter, or you could end up in world of hurt. If you really want to climb...

Roadkill, I am really sorry to hear that you lost so much, but I am compelled to ask a few questions, because you seem intent to blame Daniels for your losses, and also seem to take no responsibility at all- 1. What sort of conversations did you have with Todd Wood (VP of Managed Futures)...

I have not tried accessing a computer from another pc as you ask- I'll leave that up to other, more experienced types. Kevin

macattack, I have to comment on your situation, given that I see things from the management side of the table. First off, I trade futures at work, using my own laptop (Thinkpad with a Sprint 4g card), before office hours (I get in at 7:00, work starts at 8:30), and during lunch. That's it...

His son seems to have faded from the trading scene, but Van does trade- he manages his company's retirement fund.

I recall that forum discussion that you had with V Tharp. Very entertaining and informative. He did not understand that the technical tools had to be there, and really stuck by "psychology is everything". Kevin

Munnyhunny, Stay away from sales reps- I work with Scott Hoffman, a senior broker there, and have been very pleased. He knows that I don't need him to tell me how to trade, but he offers support and answers questions very quickly. He has been very supportive, even when I was trying the DT Pro...

Local, I will be using the DT Pro (Open Ecry) platform, have been running the demo for a couple of weeks to check it out (I like it so far). Any comment on that? I will not be day trading, I am swing trading 3-5 day patterns, so I don't need super fast tick updates. thanks...Kevin

"WASHINGTON, (Reuters) - The U.S. corn stockpile hit its largest level in four years as the autumn harvest opened in September, serving as a buffer against a smaller-than-expected crop that has driven prices to two-year highs. The stockpile on Sept. 1 totaled 1.708 billion bushels, the...
