Spoke to a friend of a Kingfisher trader. Kingfisher uses line charts for support and resistance based on the 1 hr and 30 mins charts. The main peaks and troughs are the levels he calls. Also uses 1 min candle charts for some entries, but the calls he makes in the room are the line charts. Take...

No eSignal don't do range bars. However you can use Esig data to construct range bars on other software like Ensign for eg.

There's only one reason sober people crash cars - they are bad drivers. And there's only one reason people crash on the markets - they are bad traders. There's a million ways to crash, but the same outcome. The more important question is what's the remedy?

Here's what I think bigbadadam. You're a hungry young buck with big ideals and no experience and that's a good place to start. It's a good place to get taken to the cleaners too, but that's all part of the learning curve. I'd suggest you look at emini trading because it's fast and you'll learn...

Futures traders often use more bells and whistles than any other traders and the emini is just a trading instrument that is ready for as much or as little analysis as you want to apply. Don't think it's a less sophisticated trading vehicle - it's a lot faster than stocks so you better be up to...

Nkhio, some systems are optimized for short time periods and the longer the timeframe you use the less accurate they become.

Best 1 min trader that I've come across is Goinglite at dacharts.com He uses CCI and takes the break of the 133 level as his trigger but waits for a retrace to enter. Most times he catches the extreme of the move on the retrace. You will have to search for his older stuff as he is using tick...

30 days will pass too quick, especially with such an exciting post. Please make it 60 days and go pro rata for $1,000,000,000.

My pleasure - glad to help.

One of the funniest things I've ever read. Right up there with the Henry Root Letters. A fantastic leg puller.

Easypeazy. http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html Download the first option (Win9x) and you can see all hard drive action. I keep this thing at the top of my bookmarks and if I need to know what my HD is up to, this shows all.

Been using eSignal for over 3 yrs. I think I've had 3 one-day crashes in that period. Support with LiveRep has always been excellent. I don't use it for charting though, just data for Ensign.

I've got a library of books, cd's, dvd's, courses etc. etc. Don't know if I use 1% of them although they helped me on my journey. I'd agree with most of the above and add if you can watch live traders, their screen shots, the indicator set-ups, trading styles and theories, entires and exits...

As to whose responsibility is was, it was the brokers to spell it back. The tape proved I placed the order and he apologised and said the company would make good the loss without my asking. And as regards accepting the loss, it was a private managed fund over which I was the senior manager - the...

A little over $50,000 in 1988, when my broker misheard my order. He and assumed I said F in the ticker symbol when I said S. It was a 2 day trade and when I called next to sell to cover he wanted to know why. I said because I've made a profit. He said, huh? It shows a loss. Then the fur hit the...

Follow Ripley's advice. I've been in this business 20 years and Ken is the hottest stock daytrader I've met. He's got a planet sized ego cause he knows he can cut it. There are few like him.

The market is whatever you think it is. If you say it can't be beaten you won't beat it. If you believe some can beat it and you can become one of them, persistance will probably see you achieve your dream. I've read so much crap that day trading can't be done, you can't make a killing day...

Ensign will

If you trade Fx you will get free charts and you can start with $300 - $500. They will guarantee your stop so you can only lose what you invest, and that will be the end result. Probably every successful trader has blown their account a few times learning so get ready to pay your dues. At least...
