Do you mean that when a clear trend is established the countertrend players are somehow "trapped" in their positions?

Can you expand on this comment you made yesterday please? Thanks.

Ever heard of commissions?

Margaret Brennan is definitely a hottie out there...she looks horny and kinky to me...:p

Question to all experienced traders: What was volatility like back in 2000-2002? And do you guys think volatility will ever get back to those levels? I think that today there are so many participants in the emini futures market that liquidity kind of prevents that type of volatility...

It looks like you're only seeing the glass half empty when you speak about daytrading. By your words, it's pretty clear that you are reluctant to being a full-time trader. It's ok though, you do whatever fits your personality better and it's clear daytrading doesn't. Keep in mind that...

For your information, I am one of the most social people you could ever meet. I just like to have the option to choose who I want to socialize with instead of being forced to get along with people I could care less about. It sounds like you have problems being by yourself because you are the...

You read my mind. I did the same thing, transitioning from a sales job where I would have to travel a lot, put up a smile on my face all the time and always be ready to bend over to my boss and follow the orders. My pay wasn't nearly as good as yours, which made it even easier for me to quit...

I agree with the above poster. Trading can be one of the most rewarding jobs in the world after being a pro athlete, singer, actor, etc... The quality of life you can get with daytrading is excellent compared to office jobs. If you decided to look for a stable job, that means your...

Yep, same lagging here...i wouldn't say 10 ticks but a few for sure... It might be due to early volatility when prices were acting a little whacky... Now it's settled down.

It looks like quality of life is way more important than the money you were making with your old job. I respect that as I identify myself in your post. Instead of living the dream a little longer and eventually fail, why don't you make a pledge to yourself that you'll succeed no matter...

May I ask you to post a chart of one of your setups? Just out of curiosity. I too trade off of price bars alone and there are not many traders who do that. Thanks.

My charting was fine during the FOMC announcement. However, I am aware of bad servers problems and I truly hope eSignal is working to get more reliable servers for its customers base.

I think all companies who aren't ready for Vista today SHOULD HAVE DONE THEIR HOMEWORK long time ago. I can't see how it's my fault that my old XP-loaded computer crashed on me and I had to hurry and get a new one that came with Vista in it. I know it could have been possible to request a...

Alright Vista users My problems have been fixed thanks to eSignal's tech support. I believe my issues were firewall-related. Basically all I had to do was to add eSignal as an allowed program in my firewall security settings. You have to do this manually because you'll only find eSignal...

Thanks for your reply. The bottom line is that Vista is already out there in the market and all new computers are loaded with Vista while eSignal is still a few months behind. Tradestation is Vista compatible and so are many other trading softwares. It should have been eSignal's...

Thanks so much about your input. It seems to be working right now...although overnight data is slow as hell and I'll be testing this out tomorrow... By the way, since you seem to be much better prepared than any eSignal tech rep I spoke to...:) ...do you have any idea why I lost my...

I like tradestation a lot, however they still aren't offering Euronext data and it's basic platform fee is $249.00 unless you decide to open a brokerage account with them. That's pretty expensive to me especially since i wont be using any of the automating features. All i need is reliable...

It was pretty entertaining...however it doesn't do any good to my case simply because my new computer was sold with Vista in it and I am not going to purchase XP simply because the eSignal IT guys have been sleeping for all 2006. As someone in another thread rightly stated, Windows Vista is...

First on my list is Tradestation, which I know very well since I used to be a TS customer until a few months ago. Just checked their website, and here is what they say: Windows Vista Capability TradeStation is now compatible with the Windows Vista operating system. Alright, it's...
