    Crude's Friday close and Monday open.

    Can anyone tell me the symbol if I wanted to chart the price of oil over 3 months. I know I could make 3 charts with each future of that month but still wonder if it's possible. Thanks

    The mystery component spoken of in the article is the risk in my opinion . Examples: The town has sewer system problems and bans new hookups to the sewer lines for 2 years. Refusal by the town to issue building permits based on environmental...

    Possibly an inquiry will show up on your credit report. The more inquiry's you get does eventually lower your score though. But this will not lower your score anywhere near the amount a 30 day late mortgage payment late installment loan account late credit...

    A Few points : As I'm sure you know discipline is key. It takes a long time to master,and to keep your composure when things go wrong. Am I correct in saying that your losing trades are when you short? If so why not go long or sit out? The other thing I noticed is the size of your...

    Enforcing Discipline

    Most brokers I know can enable you to trade x # of contracts and not more. Many brokers can disable your software after a maximum daily loss is hit. Never heard of a broker that can limit the amount of trades though.

    S/R trading strategy

    Peter The flaw I do see is if you see the (LrH) and add it could turn out that the mkt will make a higher high after this false retracement when hitting resistance and you will have a maximum position on. PS I have found many of your psychology posts helpful.

    es/ym/nq

    Anybody remember the thread on equivalent position sizes for these 3 ? I realize it depends on their average volatility respectfully. Does anyone trade all 3 and decide at each trade which has the best chances of running the most?

    Zen and The Art of Trading

    I found that my largest losing days are fighting a trend day. Now if my analysis dictates it is a trend day and I am not in, and unlikely to get a setup, the computer is shut down till 4:00. I also set a maximum of 2 trades per day which will avoid the disaster days.

    Zen and The Art of Trading

    Agree with you .Breaking rules is bad. Even an occasional winning trade that broke the rules does not change the fact that if ones rules are sound they will increase the probability of winning trades. Getting rid of the excitement and even stepping back and having other interests in life...
