Thanks ids, Please enlighten me to my erroneous thinking though. Today, I was going to go short @ 234.5 with a stop @ 236.5 Exit after a few ticks as it was just a test trade. Now, if I am really worried, I might think of entering a short @ 234.5 stop limit (limit at @233.5), stop @...

I almost put in an order today to sell short Corn in the Pit. But several problems came up. First: I was unable to attach a protective stop with the order. Uh, oh. Second: I tried to enter on a stop (breakout trade) which was also unsuccessful, I guess I could have entered with a limit or...

Actually, if you go to their website (www.lbrgroup.com) they have 3 free archived webcasts (MarketVu) on the first page which should give you a feel for their style of trading.

I lived oversease for years in the 90's and had a Schwab account at that time. Of course, back then, some countries had not graphical internet, and I was "investing" rather than "trading". Schwab would send me requested stock reports via fax for $30 a pop which was really cheap as they only...

Come to think of it, the Woodies Seminar involved a $300 donation to a charity .....

Several comments after reading through all those messages ..... I have been defrauded with a managed future account. The money lost was amazing. It was considered one of the safest (max. 2% drawdown per month) and was recommended by a reputable full services futures firm. They lost 20,900% on...

I agree Steve that it is possible to come up with a strategy from publicly available info which will trade consistently - but it sure took its sweet time with me (like several years). I bounced around several methods which often had good entry triggers and maybe even good exits. But that...

qtip - can you say more about it?

I'll second that. I spent a lot of time studying her method and trading along. It made me stable but then a choppy period happened and I switched to another method. I therefore lost double. HA - that was my wake-up call. I defined my trading plan (based on LBR) and don't deviate from it -...

Yes, we have some amazing engineer minded people around here as well who have done all sorts of things - I have heard of someone thinking of having his own tower ..... My house is off the grid, set up by www.backwoodssolar.com. Jorge, I am in Sandpoint.

Choad, I totally agree with you. I am in the same situation, out in the sticks in northern Idaho. I know of some people who have had frequent outages, some because of Direcway messing with the satellite, some maybe because of poor installation. I have had no such problems. This stuff...

There is an old thread on this topic but technology might have changed since then ..... I live out in the sticks and daytrade futures. I do have a phone line there. Later I got Starband as my ISP which initially was good but went bad pretty rapidly. I later switched to Direcway which has kept...

I use IB's rapid order entry via book trader for trading the SP eminis. It didn't take long to program it but I did have to learn to use it. I use entry via one mouseclick for limit orders or the F-keys because I can glue color coded paper above them, each key for a different strategy, e.g...
