"We need to start building nuclear power plants like there's no tomorrow, and without undue regulation and litigation. No Middle East, no smoke, no soot, no hydrocarbons, no greenhouse effect, no dependance. Just an unlimited supply of cheap, clean power." I guess the bottom is very, very...

Thanks for the replies. I'm well aware of the fact that 20% is not easy to accomplish. What I was trying to do is to find out what would you guys do if the goal was to make 20% with as little work/risk as possible. For example: daytrading = too much work, buying shares of one company for...

This may be a little bit off topic, however I would like to start a discussion in which we would provide ideas/opinions about investing for a longer term, the part of capital that is not used for daytrading. For example if one uses $100,000 as his working daytrading capital, but also has a few...

topguntrader, Have you ever thought of starting your own business instead of starting a trading career? 100K is more than enough as a start up capital for many small businesses. It appears to me that what you are after is having a future in your own hands. Regardless of what many "traders" on...

I think it is ridiculous that he needs to pay back any money to anybody. Everybody should be responsible for their own actions. If you paid money to Wade Cook to teach you how to trade and later on lost money trading I don't see why should Wade Cook pay you back. If it continues like this we...

I used to count cards in Black Jack. I was able to follow an 8 deck game. It is not similar to poker, not even close. When you count cards you have "an edge" over the casino in the long run (if you stick to your strategy of course). It is purely mechanical endeavor as opposed to poker which is...

Kirk, I got your message. Thanks a lot. blueem, I wish I knew it before. Last night I purchased ebook and realized that it is same thing as is offered on teachtrade.com for free.

vikana, Thanks for the reply. I'll will buy the real book. I noticed in one of your posts that you are MetaStock user. Is it MetaStock or MetaStockPro? I'm trying to build an entry system for S&P eminis and need to backtest performance of several TA indicators on intraday basis. (5 min or...

"(stay away from xp get win 2k, etc... )" You said it yourself.

Has anyone purchased Borsellino's "Trading S&P, Nasdaq 100 & E-mini Futures with Lewis Borsellino" pdf course for trading eminis. Does he provide a real trading strategy in it, or is it the usual "get in touch with your inner self" garbage? It is offered at TradingMarkets.com Thanks

What is the monthly price of TS Pro? Thanks.

In my case it's up and down today. However not stable enough to trade on it.

Same here. Didn't have any problem for the last three weeks...

tymjr, Thank you for your elaborate post. I think that the main point you were trying to get across is importance of Market Sentiment (direction, bias) on any given day and need to adjust one's strategy accordingly. What do you think about using Dow and Nasdaq TRIN's when evaluating market...

tyjmr, You sound like someone who knows his way around trading eminis. If it is not too much to ask I will now try to outline one possible S&P emini trading strategy and if you could give me an opinion about it. I am trying to base my trading style on "probability trading" similar to what...

Great post tymjr. Thanks.

Thanks def, I finally figured it out myself, IB quotes indeed do match Globex quotes but not CME quotes, but since with IB I can only trade Globex in the first place, it should be (is) sufficient.

I have a qcharts real time CME feed for Euro and Canadian dollar futures and on my IB tws quotes usually don't match. I see trades flying on the CME Time&Sales window and more than half of those trades don't register on TWS. Same goes for best bid and best ask. It is going on for days so it is...

930 - 1030 is extremely volatile time period but those are the times when most money is made/lost, during that period breakout trading appears to be working best 11-2 is "slow" time, probably the best for new trader to get some experience, swing trading is the best strategy for that period...
