I'm convinced you should have an idea what block of time your signal you want to play should occur and just sit at the computer then. More than 3 hours it is going to be difficult to stay focused and disciplined for me without falling into that mesmerized, trance state. I think also is to...

Try seeing if how many well known surgeons are on their list. Hey if I was a well known highly skilled above average surgeon it would not be necessary for me to be told by the insurance co. what I can charge. http://www.scoliosis.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-369.ht

You know the sad thing many very qualified doctors do not participate in any insurance plans. So if you have a 2k bill and the insurance company says it is worth 750 you are stuck with the 1250. I'm convinced the health insurance crisis will dwarf the property tax problem or any other...

Check the dental plans carefully. I found for a family plan it would cost 800 per year and the max they pay per person is 1500. Sounds like bad risk vs. reward.

Oil and SPX ripping together ? I left a disgusting amount of money on the table today. Todays intraday SPX sort of looks like yesterday. Maybe it is time to put the kiss of death in the mkt and say after entry just come back at 4:00 to close the position?

11k gobbled up Keep going baby

I can see people undercapitalized or trading too large a position size holding on to losers. The old thought I can't afford to close this now it will come back. Very expensive words.

Responding to chewbacca's post Very, very true post about day trading. But it comes down to knowing whether things are set up for a possible big move or not. Suppose ES for a week would rally 5 points or so and then give it all back, and then sometimes rally 4 points and later in the...

Is the Andre Kostolany book written in english ? I only saw a book by him with a foreign title.

press setup and enter on the printer at the same time.

Anyone know how to disable the feature in this unit which says "print align page " It is very annoying and constantly comes up if you replace the cartridge or turn the computer on. Have tried putting the align page in the printer as instructed but it takes many times of doing this to...

What mistake? being stuck paying pensions and high health insurance premiums of older workers?

I commend you for sticking to your plan and ending the day. Even if there was an opportunity on the short side there is nothing wrong with sticking to what you have good success with and the heck with everything else. How many traders on ET have we seen fight downtrend days by trying to go...

ER sure ill today

Thanks for the responses everyone. In the end I decided to keep the same strategy (same entrys and exits) but increase the position size.

I agree even if a small risk is taken per trade risk is meaningless without limiting the # of trades. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=902372#post902372

What really would make sense is besides net profit what is the % gain on account. But it is understandable most people would not want to post that. $1000 profit on a $15,000 account is quite different from a $1000 profit on a $60,000 account

I would't touch it. If the day comes with an erroneous order for some huge size and you are on the wrong side ones account could be dessimated. If you happen to be on the right side of this spike and close your position the trade might get busted. Just my opinion.

I am an ES and ER trader. I would like to get some input on other traders risk tolerance. My risk : 1% max.of account balance on any trade 10 trade per week max. Tend to close out trades early to maintain a high win % Sometimes exit is right at...
