Its basically a moving average crossover system. 10 sma and 2 ema seems really close. Its supposed to weigh in other markets, but I set it up without entering any of the other markets, printed out charts, then went in and set up the markets and guess what, printed out the exact same chart...

a t-shirt or hat would make me feel a little better about the down time the other day.

The "zen and the art of archery" was not very good. Came highly recommended as a zen/trading book. Sorry, but I didn't see the connection. But then again it was my first "zen" book and maybe I was not very zenlike as I read it. Or maybe it just sucked?

Misconfigured firewall??? Can't you hire someone that knows how to configure a firewall? There is a lot of money on the line here.

I am currently reading Kievs newest book "hedge fund masters". So far so good. Basically he is redoing his previous books in a Q and A format. But its interesting so far.

Read both of the "trading in the zone" books by kiev and douglas. Liked both of the books. I don't think either one is better than the other because both books explained similiar things in slightly different ways and I think I learned from both of them in different ways. "Way of the...

You mean primary and secondary trend.

set your stops below the last higher low. make sure you get a higher high before moving your stop. Or use a percentage stop. If you get stopped out and the trend resumes, you can always jump back in. Use swing pivot points to set stops. There are plenty of ways to do it, just...

Scam!!! Its a moving average crossover system. I think its a 2ema and a 5sma. I told my brother the same thing, but he didn't listen, he still bought it. Then tried to get his money back and they told him to talk to some expert first. The expert charged him 300 dollars, and the system...

What bank gives 4-5%??? I have not seen a rate that high in many years. Living in the US, you cannot retire on 300-600k. Well at least I couldn't.

License your vehicles under an LLC. Costs about 2-3 hundred but you make that back when you sell the car. Instead of signing over the title you sign over the LLC and the new owner does not have to pay taxes on the vehicle. He just continues to reregister it. Plus with an LLC some road-rage...

Thats great news. Good luck.

Thanks. Anyone use the 2405fpw monitors? How do they compare to the 2005fpw and the 1905fp? Do you find the widescreen better? I have had a widescreen tv for years and feel weird watching a regular tv. Is the extra size from the 19 to the 20, or 24 worth the extra cost? I see they...

LOL. That reminded me of a friend that works for a huge car dealership. He used to joke that they sell every car below cost. I asked how they made a profit? And he says "volume". Stupid, but always struck me as funny. Ok, I need to buy a system. Dell is fine with me. I want at least...

There are thousands of different types of traders, hence thousands of different techniques. Maybe its just me, but I feel that losing money on paper is better than losing it for real. I also think that I would rather work out my system on paper rather than losing a bunch of money and then...

Thats another reason why paper trading is good, less emotion. Thats the way you need to trade with real money, less emotion. If your running with too much fear and greed I think it makes it harder for you to be successful in the long run. Most of the time you see newbies trying to trade...

So you kind of base your trading style on "if I was going to spend an adequate amount of time paper trading" ??? In my opinion thats a big problem with a lot of people starting out. Why would anyone knowingly spend an inadequate amount of time trying to learn? It happens every day. I...

what should a newbie trade? There are two answers to that question. 1. if you have a bunch of money and want to be done trading forever pretty quickly, trade whatever you feel like. Then once you lose some money, trade something else. Do this until all money is gone or until you think...

Are you asking if candlesticks are a trading system? Or if they are just another helpful tool? I think they are pretty helpful, at a glance I can see if its trending up or down, I can see breakouts, also can see indecision. I don't trade them alone, they are just a faster reference for...

Really? What does PTJ average percentagewise on a daily basis? I bet its not much considering he trades billions. I could beat him percentagewise trading my small account, and I don't know anything. I don't understand, are you trying to tear the guy down? Or did I misunderstand your...
