    What made you decide that you are a trader?

    derq, I wish you the best of luck. Trading is something that is learned with experience. Get in there, and give it a shot. But don't just open an account and expect to start making a living. To make a living in this business, you need sufficient capital, say $100k. Can you do it with...

    Woodies CCI

    I have been using Woodies CCI on E-Signal and Tradestation for about 3 years. The first year I sucked, I was trading the S&P emini's intraday with it and I couldn't make a dime. I then switched back to trading equities, which I was always profitable with, and doing more swing trades, 1-3 day...
