Since nothing else is making sense ...thought I would try this.

Doctors have no incentive whatsoever to cure or help anyone. If they do, they will lose a patient. Why would a doctor cure someone of a thyroid problem for $5000 when they can wait for that patient to develop prostate cancer or diabetes and make $2 million treating him? The plan is to put...

Why not use Ensign and Interactive Brokers. I have used that combo for over a year and not had even one problem that wasnt exchange related. Total cost $40/month.

Isnt this about the fourth time in a month? Should we initiate orders with tin cans and string?

Didnt Israel/Lebanon war precede 1000 point ym down move in May???

My father had 500 shares of Microsoft within a year of its IPO. Because he was an MIS director for the Government, they forced him to sell it. I bet that trade alone would of made more than he did over thirty years. Dont you love it when the Govt gets involved in your personal business?

Are Japanes stocks subject to that pattern day trader rule (the rule that forces me to trade futures because they are safer than stocks)? And what are some of the symbols of stocks that trade after 8 pm est that I can trade through IB?

Homeless people are one thousand times more honorable than doctors. Ever have a homeless person charge you a thousand dollars to give you medicine that puts you in the hospital?

Does anyone else feel like the market is just floating a lot lately? Like these moves arent with real conviction, but they are just buying on stops? Doesnt make a bit of difference, I am doing fine in it but I have not taken a lot of longs that would of worked because the moves didnt look...

The dow futures are currently trading around 11500....if I think that in two months, the dow will be trading at 10950, what is the best way to trade that with options? I know you could buy puts....but the time premium works against you. Selling calls is good but requires more margin than I...

I am trading the YM futures and changed all my charts to the new contract last night. The problem is that the DEC YM is now 80 points higher than the SEP YM. That has completely screwed up my indicators. Anyone else having this problem and can I correct it? How lobg can I realistically...

I apparently messed up my charts for Ensign on the ym. My chart for ym z6 looks nothing like ym u6...its actually gapped up 100 points. Any idea how to fix....or get the tick data I need? IB only refreshes for a few days, I need about a moths worth of data.

I wasnt kidding when I said I dont know how to program. I do not use Tradestation, never liked it, Tradestation takes too much CPU. In Ensign, I simply programmed an alert that created an entry every time my indicators formed the pattern I like. It has the benefit of hindsight of course and...

I know absolutely nothing about prgramming. But I have managed to program an alert in Ensign that replicates the performance one would have if they executed the method I have been learning to perfection. Here are the results: Balance 18,379.99 Profit 129 89% 19,069.98...

You could go 9/10 with that method and lose 20 times your winners on one trade on a trending day the wrong way.

Thanks for the encouragement Austin. I agree with you but want a smaller dollar per tick market because I am having a hard time with the psychologogy of having to be perfect. In other words.....when live I tend to get anxious and enter early to avoid missing the trade because even a few...

I just called Oanda and they said to buy 10 onces of Gold you pay about $1 per day interest, if short you get paid 79 cents per day. Since I am as likely to go long as short, I think this would be a minimal expense. In answer to the other question, when I paper trade the YM, I generally make...
