its different for every person - some have a natural affinity and work hard toward success in trading hence dont take too much time. Other can take months if not years. It took me around 6 months to start making "some" money and around a year to make consistently "decent" money. If the national...

its a combination of both nature and nurture - few if any are "born" traders..and those with so much natural talent can pretty much be good at whatever it is they do personality plays a large part in trading - the biggest part being in exiting a position. Anyone can enter a trade - little or...

why dont u buy google at its 6month low instead? and ride the wave back up to 470?

every famous trader has had the roof blown off his head numerous times in one lifetime. Livermore's book was written in 1923 - Livermore's best days (and worst) were yet to come. He made 200 mio in the crash of 1929 - then lost it all by 1932 - made it back...then lost it all and finally...

seems to me he was playing the arca pre-market auction and got caught on the wrong side....happens all the time..typically arca busts trades like these without much issue -strange he had such a problem

I read portions of Quantitative Trading Strategies by Lars Kestner where he backtests all the popular TA signals like RSI, STochs, MACD, BOllingers etc etc....over the past 20 years on the S&p 500 futures contracts....NONE of them gave positive results aside for the MACD and some other...

cant help but noticing...for people who are always blasting TA is a useless tool - and are always asking to name successful TA traders...they sure as hell know alot about technical indicators my rationale regarding TA is simple..it isnt useless because since everyone is looking at the same...

those that can't..teach - and those that can..trade. i have seen the dumbest fu_cks who have spent a lifetime playing warcraft and video games make very good traders and similarly some very smart people with MBA's from harvard/mit who couldnt tell their di_cks from their asses if their life...

anyone using kutsingers trading system and mehlers MESA strategies etc etc.. along with the dozen or so other trading systems offered by esignal? how are they? have you had "better" success with them?

the chinese are about to learn the hard lesson of crony capitalism - watch the market purposely screw them with their short position (if indeed they actually have one). and the trader...he is as good as dead. They will probably put a bullet in his head and then bill his family for the price of...

i respectfully disagree....the CFA charter has become the industry standard for any job relating to trading, financial advisory, port. management and investment banking. If you go on the corporate website for pretty much any financial institution they all encourage you strongly to be enrolled or...

What I like most about Cramer is whether he is right or wrong..he has a lot of conviction when he speaks. He makes calls - and then assumes responsibility for them. So if he loses people all that much money consistently I dont think he would have somewhere to the tune just over 1 million people...

thank you all for validated my fears on Collective 2 - that site should be shut down. All said and done - lets come back to the original topic. What trading system in your experience has been "successfull". How is AbleSys? anyone used it? Their track record seems not bad....

Lisbon - unlike 99% of the kids on ET i am not going to poke fun at you. But I am going to say that if your system is as effective as you say it is....just start off small (margin deposit of 5-10k and trade leveraged) and within a year or so you should have generated sufficient capital to trade...

mama - if your system works so well on futures then cant it work just as well on fx and equities? would you care to elaborate - not to ask you for any trade secrets or anything cause I am sure if its as good as you say it is you should keep it to yourself. But just a glimpse of greatness...

I have looked at Collective2 systems - but I find it hard to disclose my credit card info on a site that has such limited and not to mention dubious information -let alone no phone number for contacting the person. I dont know how reliable those systems are and if anyone on EliteTrader has used...

I am willing to spend as much as I have to depending on the quality of the software.
