DUDE! a 1,000,000 WHAT? You can't possibly talking about US$ are you?

I noticed you used the word experiment in your first couple of paragraphs. That threw up red flags in my head. This told me that you are not sitting beside a pro copying their technique. Let those that are already trading experiment. You need to already know how to trade successfully...

Did you have a mentor? If so, where did you find them and were they effective? In other words, are you a successful trader, and if so, is it because of your mentor? Also, please tell me you are not a "mentor" that's going to offer to sell me lessons. I wouldn't suggest anyone trade...

I noticed in your post you used the words "try new method", "prove it" and "tried holding positions longer". From reading this I get the impression that you are trading alone and do not have a mentor. You are working another job while trying to figure out how to trade. If this is true, it...

Does anyone know how I quit recieving emails from posts that I have alread made. Everytime I log into my email account there is a post from someone on Elitetrader, I want to depost myself so I do not have to keep getting email from posts that I no longer wish to read. Can anyone help me...

um

I think that name is super kick butt!!

Turlo, you are so correct!!! You hit it right on the nose in saying "We were taught, the harder we work the more money we make" I fight with this inbreeded idea constantly, I have the hardest time walking away from the market especially when I am up major jack, from the furocious bull market I...

In your original post you mention taking your trading to the next level. The way that I and my traing buddies took our trading to the next level is by letting our accounts build in size. The more loot you have in your account the more $200 a day looks like peanuts, and the more of a hit you...

I watched for 3 months without opening an account. Two weeks after I started trading the Asian Financial Crisis occurred. I just happened to luck into the market at the right time. The mentor I was following for three months carried conversions so I did as well. Thus I didn't have any...

Echo is in the Board of Trader, 34th floor.

I doubt that there is anyone that uses automatic software to scalp. It is such a gut trading style, I make trades based on what I hear the squak doing, and depending on the sentiment of the market, different scalping strategies work at different times.

By no means do I just loss 2 cents, when Mer moves around like that he can be painful. Cutting loses in the key to my trading, I never know where the market is going nor for howlong, the only information that I trade on is what is happening in the market currently, since this is the case I...

When I say spu's ticking up or down I am always looking at a tick chart, if I see the line is ready to either roll over and head down or head up, if the line is treading at the bottom of my screen then I look for it to break and go south, all the while listening to the squak box to see if they...

Yes Tom, I get whipshawed a lot, it is a fierce battle just to make a few cents, I enjoy the fight though.

I so agree with you in trying to shoot for the .30 and .40 cent moves, this is my strategy in the morning. I would definitely be much better off if I just stopped right then, discipline, discipline, discipline, I am addicted!!! I shold definitely stop after that!! I trade the same three...

As far as opportunities go, every time the spus tick up or down I try to be in a trade in that direction. I have no set amout of profit that I want to make on each trade, if the stock is going up I get out immediately, if it move 3 cents I take 3 cents, if it move 20 cents I take 20. If I am...

I may be confused, but are you saying that you pay .2c per share? I trade NYSE stocks and I always thought that it was cheaper to trade them than NAS. If you trade .002 per share on, let's say 500,000 shares that is only $1,000, this is incredibly cheap. I believe I am confused in my...

I curious as to why you may believe that we do not trade this type of size, if you have 3 to 4 stocks and launch off a two to three trades of 1000 shares every couple of minutes in each one, then it is not to hard to rack up that kind of volume.... this is what I do all day,.... I am by no...

I am a heavy NYSE sclaper as well, just curious to see what other traders are scapling. I have hired TYC, C and MER for the time being. I have fired IBM numerous time, his 1X1's really urk me. Who are you pushing around?
