Thanks, I'll do that (was planning to anyway) in a few minutes and report back (assuming I can still use this POS).

I know this isn't a tech forum but everyone is (I would think) using a computer day in and day out and may have run across a similar problem. I've looked at the Dell forums and didn't see much help, if any. I'm also out of warranty. I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 w/ a Core2Duo 2.0, 2 Gigs of...

Most of my comments to bigD apply to your comment as well and believe me, I'm learning more and more everyday and I'm almost glad its while I'm live since I'm paying a lot more attention to my wins/losses and strategy.

Well, for me it was several problems moving from sim to live. First off, there are definite emotional issues with being able to pull the trigger when real money is on the line where with sim I had no problems pulling the trigger. I also had the idea that I would be able to start trading with...

I forgot the most important mistake for new traders: Doing great in SIM trading means absolutely nothing when you go live .:D

I'm seeing the same thing, although a couple times it seemed to pause but that may have been intentional. Do you use xstudy? Do you see the big gap in data from 2 days ago? I'm trading (attempting anyway) the ES.

I'm not voting (at this point anyway) b/c I've only been live for 6 months and don't consider that long enough for a valid poll entry. At 1 year, I'll gladly vote but if I had to now I'd be in the 'have not blown up my account but losing money'. I've lost 30-35% of my account trading the...

So will the lower gap be filled today or is it too soon? Can't have two down days in a row, now can we:D

I'm seeing it as well.

Anyone else missing data on Xstudy from ~3:45pm EST to 10pm EST yesterday?

So, will they let it go down after that? Or was it buying its own to make it look so strong?

WTF was that? 160k buys?

Etrade/velocity/global futures all have 2 week demo's that can sometimes extend longer, without giving them a deposit. If you give them a deposit, you can demo all you want I'm sure.

I am an awesome trader!! 3 trades, 3 losses. Only saving grace is they were small.:confused:

I went sh when it first hit 85.75 and was really looking for a drop, at least 3 points. Got stopped out at 87 :(

I guess I'm trying to understand what you meant when you said this earlier: "49 first. Edit: if PP at 6.75 is taken out from below, then previous day high + more!"

Should it be bouncing up around here?

somebody pressed the fast fwd button on my xtrader screen!:eek:

Another stopout. Went long at 44.75 with a 4 tick stop (I know weak but I really thought it was done). Stopped out :mad: I'm pretty convinced now that had I placed my stop at 8, 12, 16 or 20 ticks, it still would've been stopped out. I'm left watching the market move 4 points higher at this...

I think I could be fine with stops, if maybe a little more room is given and my entries are better (less trades, better entries). I started trading 2 lots on half my trades and it does work better b/c I take off the 1st after a point, just to lock in a little. Problem is, with the way the...
