Congrats Don.

I missed the entire thing on the downside. I did pick up CYBX at the open and got a nice gain from that. Though the downside was nice today, it did not offer many retracements which is what my system would call for in order to enter. So, if you went short from the open, you had a nice day..but...

This chatroom thang sure does come up a lot here, a suprise considering how much some of the regulars seem to hate us chatroom types. Here is what I would suggest: Most of the sites offer a 1 or 2 week <i> free </i> trial. If you are interested in joining a for pay chatroom, check out the...

I heard the bell ring, it must be recess time. What does this accomplish, the flames back and forth? Does it help anyone's trading? Does it help make ET a better place? Where I grew up if some-one pushed you, you smacked them and got going with it, but that does not work on the message...

Here is a good analogy on the best setups. When I was starting out and found some one to help me, I was scanning one night and was really excited because I had found "perfect" setup. When we talked that night I was really excited and showed him my pretty setup. He said that yeah that is really...

One of the most common complaints I hear from people is that "I'm bored." I hear this all day every day since people got used to pushing the buttons 50 times a day and thats what they still want to do. Of those still pushing the button 50 times a day the chief complaint I hear is "Im broke." I...

Its not the market that sucks, its a lot of the traders in the market. Anyone who does not believe in Darwin should look at the markets and Im sure they will reconsider. Brandon

T/A is like a roadmap drawn 100 years ago by a drunk. The major features of the map will probably stay the same, but if you read it as the end all you will get lost, confused etc.

<i>I think it's the market and not the trader. </i> It's <i> ALWAYS </i> the trader. You can control yourself, no one here wears diapers. Brandon

I think you have to start out with what makes you comfortable, and start out with something that allows you to be wrong <b> A LOT </b> and still stay in the game. In stocks 100/200 shares is perfect. However, I don't think that the futures are a terrible place to start out either. You need to...

This range bound market market must really be wearing on people..all this talk of suicide. First Hitman talking about bigger time frames being suicide, now you about the futures. Some-one call the Judge and lock these sad saps up :p

I've never even heard of them off the top of my head..but so far It has not killed me. Brandon

<i>One day Realtick trading course? </i> I've never taken a Marketwise course or seen one, so I am not in a position to comment on the value of them. However, I would not pay anything for a course on Realtick. The program is pretty straight forward and easy to figure out on your own. You...

I already told you all that I'm the best :D so stop asking whats the best this or that, I already told ya. Anyway, I was reading this thread and one of the questions I've seen is why would you trade the QQQ? I ask myself the same thing. If you are going to restrict yourself to one or two...

I was re-reading "Market Wizards" and "The New Market Wizards" about two months ago. As you know, most of the people in there are futures/commodities traders - but what you may not know is that there is a great similarity between the "Great Bull" market in equities and Commodities market of the...

I can't remember the last time I held overnight. I'm too tired to type a lot right now..but the idea I use is simply that a trade and an execution are not the same thing to me. I will try to find my trades on the Daily, 120, 60 and 30 minute chart, then use the 5's and 2's for short term trades...

Hitman, Im glad to see you are using the bigger time frames. It will open up a new world to you and help you with your trading. I'd like to give you a quick forward looking idea of how I use them. Attatched is a chart of the Utility Index. The bear flag on the 120 and 60 minute charts are...

<i>Actually going to bigger time frame right now is suicide. Longer time frame requires wider stops which is exactly what you don't want to do when you are in a losing streak. I am going to do my best to grind it out until I get some of my touch back </i> You should listen to yourself. What...

<i>This is all due to lack of confidence. Instead I need to stop staring at 1 min charts and the tape and taking the bread and butter setups off the 5 min charts </i> Go to some bigger timeframes, thats probably a lot of your problem. If you go to say a 120 minute chart and we are at the...

Whenever I feel like a <i> need </i> a win, what I really <b> NEED </B> is a vacation.
